Ohmagad! They come to France in June? I need to know when! I hope they will be warmly welcomed: It's true that they are national treasures. ;)
Concept is funny so even if I'm not a variety lover, I will surely check it out.

Ok..kinda intresting, but dunno if there would be any sub in any time soon..
On the side note..The current 1n2d direction is really getting on my nerves..the next guest would be yoona..it would be the last straw if they act like they call on her to be guest impromptu-like when the news came out already..and more and more guest are coming out...if it is like that, we better off watching rm..sheesh...I'm glad that the old cast withdrew with the show going to be like this..they should've put more faith in the cast and the pd's rather than relying on the guest..they are turning a very good show to crap-like show-like I never seen before..end

The premise sounds adorably interesting. I can't wait to check this one out! HEH Na PD makes variety shows seem so much more interesting. :3

Of the 5 gramps, I really like their 'mat-hyung' Lee Soon Jae, who must have played everybody's grandpa, and Baek Il-sub, who looks like he can't play a bad-guy believably even if he tries. I hope they have a good time on their trip to France, n that it won't be too hard on them!

Re-watching Season 1 of 1N2D. Much more fun than recent eps.

As one of the older readers on this site, this means there is finally a show where I can have an ajusshi crush. Or maybe not. But Shin Gu has always been one of my favorites.

They're coming to France for their first trip?!? I'd like to know where exactly *excited*...I so love Lee Soon Jae, he's my fav grandpa figure in Korean dramas <3

The title is so funny and cute....

I hope Na PD will not starve them. That's all. They sure need medical team follow them too

Oh yay! I am so going to watch this. Thanks for the update!

Arabuji have a soft spot in my heart so I will check it out with or without subs, hopefully with. I can't wait till they make fun with each other.

*Tears* My Grandpas crushes are finally getting their own drama!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!

Hope every will be safe on their trip to France!!!

I love these men. I hope there will be subs for this one. I would definitely atch. It is time that people recognize that the international fandom for Korean drama does not consist only of 14-25 year olds.

I'm really excited for this. Na PD did not disappoint with 1n2d or Human Condition and now he has flower grandpas. Squeeeee!

Hope a regular sub group will pick it up.

"Grandpas over flowers" ???
The title had me ROTFL :))))))
They are cute grandpas, I hope they will be healthy & strong enough to travel here and there, kind of worry for their old ages :(. I wish Seung Gi will join as guess sometimes, can't get over Seung Gi & PD Na love :D, and SG'll have a fun time bowing until his back hurt, lol :)).
( Since you guys mentioned, the current 1n2d is haizzz, can't believe how they ruin my most fav. variety ever like that, the Idol guesses idea is totally a a rating strategy, which is more despicable & a disgrace for a show like that, now i'm back to watching 1n2d ss1, some eps I can watch over & over again & still find them interesting & addicting)

oh this looks promising!! i love lee soon-jae and baek il-sub grandpas especially, would love to see them in a "normal" setting and see their non-kdrama personalities.

i do wish they weren't going abroad though. it's distracting. i think from the first episode, there should be more focus on the actors and the tone of the show. in france, there might be too much attention on the surroundings. i'd prefer them to keep it in korea, but i don't watch 1n2d, so this could be the smarter move and i just don't realize it :)

Na PD... isn't going to torture these Grandpas... Right? He... wouldn't? Right?

I'm not so sure. :O

Oh, I hope there are subs for this and I can watch it somewhere. Shin Gu was so great in Family's Honour. And Park Geun-hyung does the scary rich and powerful man so well. Would love to watch these halabeoji in action! Rock on!

That is one hell of a gathering of the acting arabuji great of Korea, Na PD must be one of the main reason they signed on to do a variety show. Gonna catch it for sure.

I love Human Condition, so I imagine this will be well done, too. But since Na PD specializes in torture, what will he do? Maybe it will be about how difficult it is to communicate in different languages?

OT, but I used to get Park Geun Hyung and Lee Soon Jae mixed up ALL THE TIME. Which is weird, because they don't even look alike.

Oh love these awesome grandpas!

I am really looking forward to watching those sweet grampas on the road. What is going to be really interesting is how NaPD relates to them - how can he respect them and be mean at the same time?
And if they need their token female member for 'eye candy' will they bring on Kim Sumi?
;)

I am very excited for this variety show! I can't wait to see Na PD try to torture these dae~~~sunbaenims lolol Flower Grandpas FTW!

I saw "Grandpas Over Flowers" and was instantly reminded of this:

Hehehehehe it even has Lee Soon-jae in it! xD Although the closest I've gotten to watching variety is reading the 1N2D recaps here, I'd watch him and Kim Young-chul read the phone book. Preferably sitting opposite each other in hanbok, after the epic love of my life that was The Princess' Man. Oh, and I liked Shin Gu in Family's Honour too! It's one of the few family dramas worth watching for its warmth and fuzzies.

-off to loop the entire TPM soundtrack for days again-

i would totally watch this. lee soonjae harabuji<3

Hahaha. GOF! XD This ought to be fun to check out, for the concept alone! Plus Na PD is brilliant, and these grandpas look like they wouldn't hesitate to have fun with this. Go, gramps, gooo! XD

Na PD will be the first reason why I want to check this one out. The second reason is the grandpa concept. What a nice change to see the elderly given some limelight. Human Condition leaves me crawling the wall waiting for the next episode to air. 1N2D? Watching old episodes.

New PD needs to study old episodes to find out what works for 1N2D. Na PD balances the heart, humor, human interactions and dynamics without introducing "frills". Maybe only once in a blue moon.

Woah, go big or go home, right? Backpacking all over Europe is going to be interesting. And my favourite grandpa Lee Soon-jae is there. Yeay

this sounds good :)

it sounds awesome.

This is awesome...love all four of the cast members... i am sure it will be a riot...can't wait...hope dramafever will pick up the variety show

Oh my these is interesting whew Europe that would be Awezome!!! Gosh I always wondered what happened to him maybe KangHodong and kids would do a variety show again after these

1n2d orig members are already done with 1n2d they already tour Korea upside down so its time to move along. A a new fresh concept for variety shows is much needed now I feel 1n2d concept shd rest in peace. Seriously we want a fresh new funny enjoyable variety show

I'm sure these men would be awesome in variety, but I'm worried that they'll be backpacking and abroad so often - wouldn't it strain their health (jet lag, filming schedules, backpacking, etc)? Just worried for them .

wah..this is unique! Average age of 74 =) I definitely recognise all these veteran actors. If someone subs this in English, I will give it a try. It can't be worse than Barefoot...

Now that is an impressive group of veteran talent! These guys have have exasperated, enlightened, frustrated and entertained us for as long as anyone has been viewing dramas. A big salute to each of them!

P.S. Shin Goo's reference should have included 'Thank You' where he gave one of the most impressive performances of anyone in that stellar drama. Choco-pie, hyung? ;) :)

Awww, it would've been awesome if "National Father" Choi Bul-am were here too...

...but then, he's already doing "Korean Cuisine" in KBS...

I read today that Lee Seo Jin will travel with the Grampas Over Flowers this month. If they are going to France (where???), that more than halves the physical distance between us. Can the Grampas please bring LSJ to the Caribbean so he can be proparly adored?
