We need more solely actor variety shows!

I never knew how rare actor variety shows are, until people mentioned it. This was the best short variety show I watched. Every episode was packed with activities, and fun scenes, I never felt bored once.

I came in only having watched Itaewon Class before, but the stars from the other dramas are either star studded or up-and-coming. You will grow to get to know every member, for the most part! Especially Hwang In-youp, a true scene stealer ;) I don't think I ever laughed THIS hard in my life, until that flying chair episode. The horror stage episode was already hilarious enough.

I loved how raw the progression of this show was, from how they interacted when everyone first met. It felt like the first day of school again. I also didn't notice how long it's been since the cast members of each show saw each other either, so it's so sweet how natural and comfortable they all still felt around each other. You never really watch actors behind the scenes nor know how they are outside their shows/movies, so it's so interesting how we get to learn their different personalities through this show. I even became a fan of some actors through this show.

Only in Korea are actors able to interact with their fans through a restaurant event. The last day was dedicated 2 episodes, which may feel draggy, but so worth it seeing this rare sight of fan and actor/actress interaction!

Seriously, respect to every cast member for their work, that it's cool to see them interacting in a regular setting. They all genuinely seemed so sweet, and I love how they have this special bond through their director. And now, newfound friendships.
