Finally found proper subs for episodes 1 & 2 of this, but never in my life did I imagine it would be so hard to finish just one episode of TGE. I don’t like the cinematography, and I didn’t laugh at all while watching episode 1 (it’s a variety show!). Like some comments say, it’s not about escaping anymore, it’s about exploring.
Anyways, I haven’t finished watching yet, so maybe some of my opinions will change. But one thing that won’t change is that I’ll forever be bitter about the casting change (no hate to the new cast).
The premiere is near, but I still miss the OG cast. I’ve waited four years, only for some of them not to return this season. I’ll still give it a try, but I know it won’t be the same as it was.
I’m not sure why, but when I watched this during the pandemic, I had so much fun and felt genuinely uplifted. I remember hoping for a season 2 so badly. Maybe it wasn’t just about the show itself, but also the moment in time—the atmosphere, the emotions, and the comfort it brought during such a difficult period. Sometimes, it's the memories attached to a show that make it truly special.
It was so good! I love how they made it funny with such a simple setting. It really healed the feelings I had after watching Nana Tour. Even though it was just three days, you can tell the boys truly enjoyed it — and Carats loved every moment. A new season might take years to happen (this is me manifesting it!), but we’ll be here waiting for it.
