Youths Over Flowers’ dummy trio heads to Iceland
by javabeans
Why am I not at all surprised to hear that the three adorkable cast members of the new season of Youths Over Flowers — that would be Jung Woo (Answer Me 1994), Jo Jung-seok (Oh My Ghostess), and Jung Sang-hoon (SNL Korea) — have voluntarily dubbed themselves the Trio of Dummies? Or, to be more literal, the Three Idiot Brothers.
It’s exactly the kind of self-deprecating thing I expect them to say, and also the kind of dorky fun behavior I hope to see on the show. (I still laugh to remember how comically useless Jung Woo was on Na PD’s last show, Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village, where he guested and provided almost zero help — not for lack of trying, but because he was so out of his element that he was mostly just standing there in confusion.)
This installment of the series took the production to Iceland, which, from these initial photos, lives up to its name. Brrrr! The cast was whisked off on their trip without warning, in typical Na PD fashion, and given the task of navigating themselves with little help and very little money. Na PD called all three actors travel rookies, saying, “Whenever they had to do anything, they held a meeting — they spent more time talking in meetings than actually traveling.” Hee.
It seems strange to think of Jung Woo as the maknae of the group (I’m so used to him being the big bro, Answer Me style), but Jo Jung-seok is a year his senior, and Jung Sang-hoon is three years older. Na PD described Jung Woo as the mood-maker of the group “who doesn’t know the meaning of fatigue” — and I suppose having filmed the based-on-a-true-story movie about Mt. Everest climbers, Himalaya, may have been good practice for enduring these elements. Although really, the more suffering the cast endures, the more entertainment it brings us viewers. At least that’s the law of the land in Na PD’s world.
Youths Over Flowers in Iceland will follow Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village 2 on tvN beginning in January.

That guy is really funny and quite sentimental too. When he guested in The Genius S4, they had to put prices on things according to how they value it. He priced a glass of iced americano as $100,000 (if I remember correctly) because he said the first time he met his wife, she handed him a glass of americano and he never forgot how it tasted. Since then, I started admiring him more. HAHA

Me too! Have they left already?
But I am actually hoping that they will go some place else than just the south or the southwest of Iceland. I kinda want them to go north, where I come from. Mostly because we tend to have more snow and I would just really like seeing Akureyri or even Húsavík appear on the show.

ICEland is right! Man, I can't believe what these entertainers do for the sake of variety shows, haha.
One thing that I have always appreciated about Korean variety shows is that their guests are actors or singers or comedians that we actually care about, in contrast to American reality television which usually has people who are only famous for being reality stars, aka I don't care at all about them and feel no need to watch.

I'm also agree that Korean shows guesting much better to compare with my country shows. I even didn't know who in the local shows because they're not famous or anything.

Wow! So excited to see JJS n JW. Although I do not know the SNL guy nice to know that he is so romantic n sentimental to remember his first date with wife. I'm sure the trio will have an entertaining n fun time like we will have watching them.
Just hope they will not cover up so much that we can't see their expressions although of course I do want them to keep warm.
Good show to start the New Year.

I am not that hot over the cast but will watch becos of iceland.its not a place that many people get a chance to go or want to becos of the cold. Na pd is smart to let the youngsters take the difficult area. The old folks go to easier places.

I heard the writer of Answer me 1988 left to join in this team (Even though she is not the only writer). Just hope this does not spoil 1988 show.
