I completely understand why you're stopping, and I don't blame blame you ladies. It is so sad that 1n2d is like this now. I enjoyed the Na PD and Bird PD episodes, but it's definitely time to call it quits. Maybe I'll try Dad, Where Are We Going?

Today is a sad day :( I'll miss the recaps of 2D1N. I always enjoyed reading the recaps... I really hope if kbs really planing to keep the show running for a longer time that they find a better PD who has a better strategy to make us enjoy...I feel so bad about the guys and the stuff , they suffer for nothing and they waste their time filming and the final result is bad :(

it really breaks my heart to see that my fave show has become like this. i totally agree that this show has become boring. the new pd is so lacking in ideas to make this show more entertaining. i think he's intimidated w/ the cast of this show. he easily gives in to their whining. even cha taehyun, whom i like, also seems boring. all he do is laugh out loud even in the slightest things. i remember sugeun telling the director, "pdnim, why are you so nice? make the games harder. the rest are not taking it seriously." i feel for sugeun & jongmin. they know that the pd is lacking so they're themselves are creating situations just so the show becomes interesting. i hope it's still not too late. i hope sugeun & jongmin will not give up on this show. and i really really hope that either the pd realize it and make some drastic changes, or better yet, they change the pd again..

i blame and dont like runningman,real men,appa odiga,they just make 2 days1night viewer change perception.people tend to comparing everything.if they want to bring this show is boring now.you can say runningman also boring.scripted show.

people just dont give any chance for the show to develop and want this show to ending.hope the viewer that say this show is boring will regret what he say.even bird pd not that great when he start the season 2 but i still have faith in him and he do a good job.

thanks for everything girls, you're 1n2d recaps will be badly missed.

Thanks for the recaps.... i hope the people at kbs will read the comments here and take drastic action! Bring back Bird PD.... the running man fans are probably laughing right now.

Thanks girls for recapping the show for the past few years. Honestly i stopped watching since Seungwoo(?) left. No, the ep before he left... Cant bear another goodbye =(. 1n2d will always have a place in my heart. I knew and love Korean variety shows firsthand through 1n2d almost 6years ago. Found ur recaps since its waaay faster than ㄱㅂㅅ subs. Found myself Lol-ing while reading. Its just not the same anymore and i knew this was coming... But i will always support the boys. Fighting!!! 1n2d! Variety Jongshin(?)!!!! Thanks GF and JV again for all your hardwork!

Thanks for all the recaps. I too wish that the show had just ended on a high with season 1. But well... Hope you ladies can consider recapping Dad, Where Are We Going? or Grandpa Over Flowers. :)

Thank you so much javabeans and girlfriday for all the 1N2D recaps these past few years. It's so sad that the show has come to this sorry state. New PD, I hate you.

Thank you JB and GF for introducing me to this show when you guys started with recaps for Tae-woong's episode. All it took for me was a clip of 'Seung Mi' bathing and then several older episodes to join the 1N2D fanclub forever.

I'll admit this: I'm very, very fond of the old 1N2D. However, I still try to watch Season 2 of Bird PD era and while I find it not as entertaining as before, it's still enjoyable somehow. While I think they have good teamwork overall, they are too nice for a variety show.

Season 2 made me realize that Season 1 cast members always try to create a funny/entertaining situation (e.g. submerging in sea during winter when it's not for food or sleeping quarters) and at that moment I realize what their 'Variety Spirit' is really about. Of course the editing and snarky PD captions helped a lot too. I think the misconception lies here: people think they are funny just being themselves but sometimes people don't see the sheer amount of effort they took just to be funny on camera. It certainly takes a lot more effort than being just themselves and shedding whatever cool or nice image they have for the sake of variety. People just don't tend to realize that.

That said, I think the Bird PD and New PD tentatively understand the crux of the show with the former obviously better than the latter. They put them to perform on stage, make them wear embarassing clothes, make them interact with locals at a market, have a freestyle trip based on purely bokbulbok, etc. The ideas were executed in Season 1 with good and memorable results, which was perhaps why the PD employed it recently in this episode. It just didn't work out because there was no anticipation, excitement or any element of surprise. There was no 'situation' created to save themselves from this ordeal.

I feel sad because of Jongmin and Suguen because I can see that they're trying so hard to make the show more entertaining, it breaks my heart. It's a pity for Hae-jin because I like his ad-lib and he seems natural on variety.

Personally, I feel that the members now lack a certain 'Variety Spirit' and also lack the support for each other. It's sad because the bromance was why the show was so endearing while being entertaining. I don't feel good when the rest sort of complained that they couldn't start the dinner Bokbulbok because of Jongmin, because I'm used to hearing words like, 'Good job', 'You've had a hard time', 'You've done well' whenever someone trudges back to basecamp after being left behind or something. TBH, I don't have a particular fondness towards Jongmin, but at that moment I just want to hug him and say, 'You've done well, great job,' just to give the poor guy some encouragement. The lack of support also reflects on Su-guen, who used to be the king of ad-libs.

My bias is obviously the original 1N2D, but I don't want to see Season 2 going off-rails as well. It's just too damn painful. But sometimes you have to learn to let go.

T_T

Once Bird PD and Seung Woo left, I really felt the shift. It stopped feeling like the show I become addicted to over the course of one year.

As someone who started IN2D with the new members, I don't have any nostalgic feelings about the old cast.
But I feel that the show has lost the magic it used to have. And if I was feeling that loss having been around for a year, I can only imagine what viewers who've been watching since the beginning are feeling.

The writers and new PD have done an abysmal job of keeping the energy that initially worked so well. It's just not as fun anymore and I completely understand why the recaps will end here.

And considering how things have been going, I wouldn't be surprised if it might be the end of the road for the show soon. A shame.

Aw, I have a feeling you'd stop one day since it IS getting extremely boring, confusing and frustrating to watch. I have watched 1N2D since the beginning and I actually just stopped watching awhile back and read your recaps instead. Now I don't think I have anything left to hang on to. Thank you for recapping this show! It's bittersweet to say goodbye to this show really. It was my favorite, but time to move on.

"I know people always say, “It’s not you, it’s me,” but in this case, it really really is YOU, Show." couldn't agree more. I do not watch it, i only read yr recap, sadly..

thanks girls

oouugg, so sad guys.. but i totally understand.. i wish our bird PD come back (just like hope a big miracle). i even keep rewatch old episodes with bird pd recently.. i can laugh hard but also touched.. but now, all they can do just invite idol guests..huffttt...

"It would have been nice for the show to end its years-long run on a high note instead of steadily sinking downward, just for fans’ sakes. "

Yes! As someone who watched for years it makes me mad/sad to see what 12nd has become. The ratings keep dropping and it's going to end up being canceled. Thanks for the recaps and suffering through until the end.

I'm a lurker lol but I'll say something today. I've read all the 1N2D recaps throughout the years and thank you for sticking it through!! Though it's sad that you'll stop recaping but I totally understand. I couldn't finish watching episode 441 where I think Yoona first appeared but yeah... I always finish watching 1N2D so it really says something when I couldn't even watch it half way through.

I think I'm just gonna go back and watch season 1~ I really do miss the old cast. I appreciate the new cast and I know how hard they work but really... the new PD is really messing everything up :( it's such a great show. This is why I got into variety in the first place and now well... other shows have my attention, sigh.

will miss this

anyone know where to watch this with english sub for free?

Thank you for your recaps all this time...

It's so sad to see your favorite show falling apart. I started to watch this show for Joo Won only. But I came to love this show for what it was before the new PD. So I can understand how it might be feel for people who watched it from season 1. Even I feel that this show is boring and lost it's touch now. It's like meaningless game after game after game and so on. If they win they get a prize, if they don't win they get a lesser prize. You can tell by the member's reaction that they're not even exited to win a game. They're like "yaaayyy!" instead of "YYAAAAYYYYY!!!!!" like in the earlier episode when they won a bokbulbok :(

And this new PD really need to learn about editing for variety. Everything feels soooo looooonnngg and boring. I expect there will be changes in the coming September. Either member jumping ship, PD change, or KBS pulls its plug completely

thank you ladies for recapping 1n2d these 2 years! i saw this day coming when i watched this episode before reading the recap...sighhhh...this new pd is really ruining it.

i watched this show since season 1, not because of any particular member. it's my first korean variety show and i wasnt familiar with korean entertainment scenes so i didnt know any of them but i became so attached to them later on that my heart tugged when each member left. and finally when they announced to end the show, i cried. i never felt this way towards any tv shows before. it's strange. that's how much i loved them.

season 2 with bird pd was good but this new pd has to blow it! why is he doing this to us?! is he a spy sent by rival broadcasters?! i feel bad for the 7 members for having to film with him...

i am still watching the show for sung shi kyung and hoping for miracle that the show gets its grooves back.

Goodbye 1N2Ds. May the cast get a chance to walk away gracefully. May New PD not get a chance to ruin another perfectly good show and cast!
Thank you for years of weekend entertainment in these recaps!

AWW!If this is the last recap,it's gonna hurt.1N2D itself and its Dramabeans recaps has a very special meaning for me.It has gotten me thru not just one but a few of the very turbulent and difficult times of my life.It was sanctuary for me.I'm really sad this is happening but as much as i want it to go on i guess this will be it.I'm not still losing hope for this show.I will stick to it till the end.It's weird but i feel like i owe it that much.But i understand you,JB and GF, if this will be your last recap.I can't thank you enough for all this time we've been together w/ this show.As much as i'm sad i'm also looking forward to new shows you will gonna find to recap.Thank you!Til the next!

Thank you very much for the recaps; they were one of the few things I looked forward to every weekend. T stuck all through Season 1 and up till now. Hopefully, the show will improve, though I doubt that will happen. If the show does end up getting cancelled, I'll miss all of them (including Hae Jin, except New PD).

Thank you once again!

horrible ratings this week. 9.5%

Goodbye to my 2weeks in advance of actual show recaps. But since old habit dies hard i guess i'm going to hang in there and keep watching.

On another note, can u pleaseeeeee maybe recap Barefoot Friends at least as a trial. I swear that show is getting better now. Who knows, it might stuck as a regular recap if things keep looking up^^

Lastly, thanks for the recaps JB n GF. You girls rock!

Thanks for all the hard work girls, i'm gonna miss your weekly recaps.

Thank you so much JB and GF for ALL the awesome recaps you've done over the years! It was stumbling on your site so I could read My Name Is Kim Sam Soon recaps (and thank you Samsooki!!) and figure out what the heck was so great about k-dramas--and then I got sucked into 1N2D by all the shiny screencaps of food and bokbulbok games and Seung-gi and Uhm Taewoong and MORE food and everything. I've completely hurtled over the edge into k-drama/variety obsession, and don't regret any minute of it (except maybe Big. Let's not think about that epic mess.)

Your wit and hilarious commentary, especially for 1N2D, has made me feel like I'm watching right alongside you guys, and thoroughly enjoying all the ridiculous hijinks of the 1N2D members and crew. Thank you again for the countless hours spent writing recaps, sticking it through, and loving the show to pieces.

(and on a much happier note: OMGOMGOMGOMG HURRY UP GRANDPAS OVER FLOWERS! MORE THAN ACCEPTABLE SUBSTITUTE! NA PD! OMG. I can't wait for your girls' take on this!)

Just listen to "it would be nice" Sung Si Kyung

좋을텐데 if you keep recap 1D2N~~~

Thanks for your hardwork for these past year

we'll miss you *waves waves*

aww, first I want to thank you girl for being such a good sport about the show. In my opinion, 1n2d season one spoiled us rotten and since their last episode I have not seen 1n2d as before. I stay with the show because I do like Lee Seugeun, he is a great entertainer, and the rest of the old crew. But this new PD is killing it with no mercy. KBS need a special meeting to save this wonderful show.

Thanks for all the 1n2d recaps - I discovered the show through your very first recap of it (the one where Tae Woong joined), and re-read all the S1 recaps many times over. I laughed hysterically at all the inane tasks the cast went through, and cried the last episode of S1 when Na PD choked back tears to thank everyone.

Na PD, I believe, grasped 100% what made 1N2D so good. He understood the balance between setting up an interesting, yet controlled environment, letting the boys run with it, then inserting witty editing to tie everything together. He understood the balance between humanity and variety. Bird PD wasn't as natural at it as Na PD was, and that, in combination with the loss of Ji Won and Seungi (and Ho Dong) made S2 lose a little of what made it so special. But the underlying spirit of the show was still there, and with the likable new cast, S2 was still entertaining enough.

New PD (and probably new crew) never seemed to understand what made 1N2D, well... 1N2D. Editing is obviously not among his talents, but I think the lack of editing actually exposes his fatal flaw - the fact that he's just not witty enough for this show.

Sigh... it was a good run though, and I did (in Na PD's time) learn a lot about the rest of South Korea.

Thanks JB and GF!

Im also dropping your blog...i watched this episode..they went to taehyun's house...how come in your blog,you said they went to joo wons place?big difference right?

Haizz, I knew this would happen, that's why I did the wise choice of not watching ss2 in the 1st place. The show is losing its purpose & meaning, now it's just a ridiculous crazy cross-dressing show with all the forced laughters, poor Su Geun, the new PD is really messing all up just for the sake of rating. Well, off to watch ss1 again now, they never fail to make me laugh no matter how matter time watching.

gonna miss 1n2d.

I just finished an earlier episode in frustration and wrote a long rant of a comment, and then I noticed the 1N2D box is now in the "Recently Completed" part under the "Recapped Series" links at the bottom of the page.

Thanks javabeans and girlfriday, for getting me started on 1N2D - I had known of the show earlier but never knew when to get on board since it had already been running for a few years; it was your recap that made me see that I could hop onto the bandwagon and not be disoriented (with girlfriday's very helpful explanations of 1N2D terminology like bokbulbok, etc.).

The past 2+ years have been great, and I got to see lots of awesome locations in Korea vicariously through the show, while laughing so hard I tear. Thank you both for all your recaps that helped me enjoy the show even more. I'm happy for both of you to have come to this decision to give up on the show and end your recapping at this one.

I won't be saying goodbye yet though... because I'm gonna spend the next few years slowly watching the earlier Season 1 episodes right from the earliest I can get. Knowing there's lots more wickedly funny stuff awaiting me is making me excited. :D

If the current 1N2D does get back to its origins, someone out there please let us all know!

Thanks girks for everything, I'm gonna miss checking your recaps every week.

Sucks that you are dropping the show =[
Guess i gotta wait two for the episode to be subbed..

I love Season 1 attempted to watch Season 2 to see is it as good as before....totally disappointed and boring that I cannot watch a full episode. I used to think LSG and KJM are very funny but in Season 2 they doesn't seems to really bring out the show.

Really should end this show before rating drop below 2 digit?

I wish you wont stop recapping because I love this show so much.

The show is now on Dramafever!

Guiseeee.. the latest episode on the great spot DID NOT dissapoint!
watch it and you'll know what i mean =)

The show is actually getting noticeably better, so it's such a shame that you stopped recapping.

OMG - the notes that everyone is writing sounds like our 7 boys died and the show is cancelled. Ha!

I will continue to watch because I still like it (not the "laughing until tears drop" but....) It's still a good show just less so.

I am confident it will turn around and be hilarious because they did it once - it will come back.

I actually liked this episode. As always I felt bad for Jongmin but he manned up and rocked his mission. I like how he kept his white T shirt on under the dress!

Thank-you DB and GF for introducing me to this show. Please come back with more recaps when it gets better because you are very funny and notice things in the show that I don't.

Ok: Fighting!

The KBS world ep with the Gangneung Bau trail trip is nice! Especially when Si Kyung is talking to his future gf.. Wish it will be me. :)

Shame on you people for not moving on from season 1. These guys are adorable. You should give them a chance. And stop looking for season 1 in season 2 because you will just disappoint yourselves.

Expectation is the root of all disappointments.

Fighting 1n2d seasons 1 and 2!!!
