TV Show Digest

This show is also known as Gisaengchung Challenge. The boy band – Wei is taken on a beautiful villa and is left with their cameras. They are asked to record their activities and enjoy their time there. In the neighborhood, they spot a mesmerizing valley with crystal clear water flowing. One of the boys is reminded of their middle school adventure when they visited here. The boys also express their desire to swim in that water, but for now, they are supposed to enter a villa that is waiting with so many surprises for them. The estate includes a bedroom, kitchen, living room, and karaoke facilities. They also include various activities, games, props, lots of food, etc. As they enter, they are immediately enticed by food. They have got chips, doughnuts, fruits, and candies. They start by trying different foods and sharing their opinions about them. With the amount of food they have got, they decide to play a mini-bowling game so that the winner gets to decide what other group members can eat and cannot eat. The furious match of bowling continues, and they further move onto a game of pump. Yong Ha proceeds to go first, but realizes he does not even know how to play that game. Hence, when he was still working on it, the other members swiftly ran away to see more about the house. The members then engage themselves in discovering the food items placed around the kitchen and also try to make a dish out of it. Seok Hwa then covers a sad song for his group members.  They draw, play around and have fun until they hear a doorbell from a stranger that gives them various assigned duties. Will Wei be able to fulfill the tasks? Watch the series to know more!
