Country Life of Gen-Z (2024)

Lovely light-hearted entertainment

When I read about the show concept, I was skeptical of whether it would be entertaining because they are going to the country side, which does not have a lot of options for contents. However, after watching the first episode and then the remaining, I find that it is amazingly fun to watch for a lot of reasons.

First, the main casts of the show have really good chemistry together. Se Chan, Eun Ji, and Yi Kyung are hilarious and witty and good cooks, so at least they have edible meals :)) However, the other members in Geon Hee, Mi Yeon and Dong Won are funny too. It is refreshing to see their entertaining sides with their own charms.

Second, the games and activities for the members and the guests are well thought out. The show didn't take everyone out to the countryside simply for playing games. They have to work and help out in the villages, and cook too. The games are fun to watch and unique for every episode.

Third, the show allows the guest the opportunity to show the other sides of them that are different in their normal setting. I am glad Mi Yeon became regular member after insisting on it :)) Every guest has their own charm, and the members really help bring them out.

I don't mind the product placement because it fits with the theme of a countryside, and they have a skit to show it and not just random insertion.

Although ep 1 is quite awkward because they are still figuring this show, I'd say from ep 2 onward, the entertainment is very lighthearted, and watching the episodes again would be fine to me.
