Comments:

I don't find Jong Kook that attractive. A lot of female K celebs swoon over him but honestly, I don't know what they see in him. I guess my impression of him is not really the same with everyone else. I don't even like how his muscles look. They're too big and puffy. He looks like "The Korean Hulk". His arms are extremely big, they're painful to look at. But there's still room for changes in my impression of him. I didn't really like Chun Hee in the beginning but after 20+ episodes, I fell in love with him. If KJK sticks by Hyo Ri's side, I might just overlook the unpleasant bulges on his arms and learn to like... or love him.

As always, the show is downright hilarious. It didn't just tickle my funny bones but it gave me stomach spasms!

Funny parts that I loved:
1. There was this part where they went to harvest rice. Chun Hee was pressured because of the new guy - Jong Kook. So he wanted to impress the other guys especially Hyo Ri and Ye Jin. He went turbo and gathered as much wheat as he could, trying to do better than KJK. The trail he left behind was so clean. Hyo Ri suggested they get the "combine" (a machine used to harvest wheat/rice) to make things faster. Poor Chun Hee whose name has been made fun of ever since he was called "Chunderella" (being Soo Ro-ssi's junior, he also became the guy's servant) was given something worse in this episode. They named him "Chunbine" for being a human combine.

2. For the ranking, the girls asked the guys to show them some cool action moves. I'm pretty shocked to see this other side of Chun Hee. Despite looking like an actor whom everyone respects and girls swoon for, his image in FO had to be downgraded, just like all the other hosts. That actually created this huge gap between his 2 personalities: the great Chun Hee and the clumsy Chunderella. FO actually gives him a chance to redeem himself by giving him a chance to show his good side. The previous episode revealed that he had the highest IQ among the MCs. This episode revealed that he looks good punching and kicking a punchbag! He starts off good, saying that he has a Tae Kwon Do instructor. They all believed him and it looked convincing. I also believed him. He was actually good until he slipped and crushed his... pride! LOL. There's no one who can beat the expression he had on his face! He's funny without him knowing it.

3. As part of the duties given to them by the owners of the house, they had to feed the calves with bottled fresh milk. They had to milk the mother cows and put the milk in feeding bottles so that they can feed the calves. After feeding the calves, they let a calf out so that it can walk or prance or run around a larger space. The calf they released agreed with Hyo Ri when she said "I just feel like poking your butt every time I see it." in one of the earlier episodes. The calf walked towards Jae Seok (there were other people there but the calf chose him) and poked his butt.

I discovered a lot of things in this episode. As I've said, I'm a Kpop fandom noob so I don't really know Big Bang. I've heard of the band but that's about it. So I didn't have an idea that Deasung could play the drums. That was a big surprise to me. I didn't know that Chun Hee could play the bass guitar. Is there something this guy can't do? He's a licensed diver, he studied ballet, he's into Tae Kwon Do, he plays bass... oh, there's one thing he can't do - sing! He's tone deaf. Ye Jin plays the piano aside from having an IQ of 147.

Plus, there was this part where Hyo Ri was standing in front of the cameras. They played the song of Jose Mari Chan entitled "Beautiful Girl"! I just felt proud and happy after listening to it.

I like seeing Chun Hee and Hyo Ri together. They went to gather chestnuts together. I actually liked Hyo Ri better here cuz she just proved that she really doesn't care about poise. She let Chun Hee use her as a platform letting him step on her while she was on all fours. Girly girls won't do that. I also like Chun Hee better when he offered his jacket to Hyo Ri. Hyo Ri said she was cold so he was like "Do you want this?" unzipping his jacket. He made her wear it and zipped it all the way up revealing the hood-cum-mask. She looked funny but Chun Hee was still sweet!

Last but not the least, I really liked the jam session they had. It's a breath of fresh air. This is the first time I saw the perform for other people as members of the family.
