Youn's Stay (2021)

Quite enjoyed this one.

The highlight of this show was Choi Woo Shik for me. I've seen him before in shows and have always enjoyed his acting, but this was something else. I never knew he was this hilarious a human being and has such amazing comic timing. He made me laugh time and again so effortlessly. What a comic relief this show has been! While I absolutely love his chemistry with PSJ, it was so heartwarming to watch his chemistry with the other cast members, especially Ms Youn and Yu-mi. Love it!

I quite like the concept of the show and enjoyed it very much. It was refreshing to watch and made me want to get a chance to be hosted by this team. My only problem with this was that it was too idealistic. Like, it felt like the entire thing was so scripted that even the comments of the guests seemed pre-decided. So much overacting and over-hyping has been done here. But that doesn't make the show any less fun to watch. It was still an amazing journey of 12 episodes.

Almost flawless reality show

Excellent casting of Youn Yuh Jung, Lee Seo Jin, Jung Yu Mi, Park Seo Joon and Choi Woo Shik! This was one of the best examples of teamwork and collaboration. Language has no barriers. Many visitors from many countries came to Youn's Stay for a meal, laughter and fresh air. Thanks for the delicious foods and entertainment. Jung Yu Mi's portrait should be hung in the Museum of Modern Art.

This drama filmed before Youn Yuh Jung won the Academy Award. The B&B guests must have shouted with joy when they heard the news. First time in their life, meeting an Oscar winner.

The only flaw was the extraneous, intrusive loud singing and loud BGM in 90% of every episode. It became jarring and ear-splitting. How do Korean people function in their daily lives?
