For those of you who enjoyed #RentedInFinland think you will love #TheVillageBarber .. fabulous trio of Park Bo gum, Lee Sang yi and Kwak Dong yeon running a barbers shop with snacks in a rural village in winter. #kdrama

On the last episode of #TheArtOfNegotiation with partner, and we have just realised that our hero was one of the guys in #RentedInFinland.

The white hair REALLY changes #LeeJeHoon's appearance. 🤯

@whoosh I interpreted it as a mirror of the highly hierarchical dynamics affecting relationships in the Korean society.
Cha Eun-woo is the most successful among that group of actors. He was also selected as the most handsome man by Koreans.
So everyone, directors and producers included, looked up to him.

*** Rented in Finland (2024) ***
(Viki 10 1:30 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

"Reality" - 4 actors in Finland staying in various rented rooms. The 1st place doesn't have electricity or running water & only 1 actor knows how to cook. Although Cha did get a couple of lessons from mom beforehand.

These guys have great chemistry & many funny moments. They learn a lot about appreciating nature & conveniences.

Not fond of the "he's so handsome" narrative about Cha. That's not what the show is about. It felt like he had the responsibility for the whole show on his shoulders at times. The other actors were also very talented & each brought a unique take on situations. I felt this diminished them slightly.

Loved watching them learn to shop & cook, fish, make a fire, pitch a tent, & take a sauna. It's a very relaxing watch & now I want to go to Finland!

Nice to see the same street vendor fashion in outback Finland as in rural SK.

Finally time for ep 3… by popular request from my daughter who's hooked on this show.

Way to make driving on a short stretch of unpaved road in the forest dramatic.

I HATE reality TV quite passionately, but this series was so sweet! It really could have benefited from extensive editing, because 90-minute episodes were quite unnecessary. Still, I loved this cozy window into the lives of Korean idols, completely disconnected from their familiar worlds. I'm willing to bet that they're still traumatized by the lack of shower facilities at their early lodging.
