Celebrity panel RUINS IT. Plus horribly poor planning by production team.
The show is great, but I absolutely could not stand the celebrity panel commenting on EVERY. LITTLE. THING. They were basically sports commentators, jumping in every few seconds.Apart from comments like, "Someone's coming!" "He's getting in the boat!" they LOVE to comment on how handsome and strong the soldiers are. Like Jesus christ I don't need a bunch of celebrities talking about how shiny some soldier's eyes are.
Too many forced over-reactions, lots of "Oh no!" "어떻게???" "Wooowww!" and forced CRYING for christ's sake. Every once in a while, they cut to the celebrity group, and they spend a few minutes or more talking about what each soldier did. Like I goddamn saw what they did, I don't need a recap and your thoughts on it.
Apart from a completely unnecessary celebrity panel, the planning by the production team had a LOT of issues. For example, the guns that they used for the target chhallenge. Absolute crap. They were such bad quality, that the soldiers had to calculate and take that into account. Normally, they could just pick it up and shoot without thinking, but you saw them standing there for a minute or two trying to get the aim right. And they kept missing! And the targets were incredibly close, when with real guns, the soldiers could shoot targets 3 times as far away with no problem.
And then there was having certain challenges that some of them had never been trained in. For example, the secret service guys had never been trained in how to carry, launch, and steer a raiding craft (boat). And some of them and some soldiers weren't trained in swimming. So they were put at a complete disadvantage.
If you want a detailed review on the production teams screwups, Ken Rhee has a great video review on Youtube.
If you're annoyed by a celebrity panel constantly talking and cutting in, well, you'll be skipping a lot through the show.
It's a great show, and really entertaining, but it's really frustrating to watch lol.
