Everything needs time to settle down. In variety, the ‘settling down’ part refers to the period when the cast members of the show try to find their own characters. KBS2’s 1 Night, 2 Days 2 is almost finished settling down, and most recently charged into its competition stage.
The April 8 broadcast of 1 Night, 2 Days 2 featured a chase between the members in Jeollanam-do’s Gangjin. The rules of the game had Kim Jong Min, who had been the first one to arrive on set, try to avoid being caught or photographed by the other members until 1 p.m.
He also had a mission of his own other than simply avoiding the members, however, as he had to send to the producer photos of five tourist attractions in Gangjin.
The episode was especially notable in that it was the first individual competition between the members in 1 Night, 2 Days 2. Ever since it started up, 1 Night, 2 Days 2 had always involved team missions for strategical reasons, to make the members build new teamwork ties and also find their characters.
The first chase mission was thus very important to the identity of the new show. Chase missions always used to be the highlight of 1 Night, 2 Days, as the members’ characters would clash and end up in a tangle of alliances and betrayals. In the first season, Kang Ho Dong, the king of agreements, and the ‘genius’ Eun Ji Won were the main players in chase missions.
The first chase in the second season was fairly experimental as the members’ characters hadn’t been perfectly set up yet. It is true, however, that it was a challenge worth taking up, and it was interesting enough to arouse excitement in its viewers. 1 Night, 2 Days set up its chase to show what direction the show would go in the future with its characters. The show is still in its beginnings, but the episode could prove to be an important turning point for the future of the show. The true 1 Night, 2 Days 2 has just begun.
