She's so so cute in it but unfortunately not many people watched it because of the lack of subs. I'm downloading the torrents and watching them raw. I don't understand Korean fully so I can't sub (and I got no time anyway :/) but I understand enough to get most of the jokes and so I decided to do mini recaps for the episodes. Mostly about the scenes I found particularly funny. It's really quite entertaining, especially if you're a HJW fan because she's ridiculously adorable.
One thing I find annoying is that the editing is done such that the events aren't in chronological order, so random parts of different days of their trips get mashed into 1 ep. (You can tell since their clothes changed.) So it's abit confusing.
Ep 1
We start off with introductions - Jiwon brought her sister, a scent specialist called Yookyung, along on the trip.
In an interview segment, Jiwon says that this is the first time for her to do a reality show and as an actress, she has to take care of many things so she's stressed. And she said a bunch of stuff which I don't understand fully so I better not translate lest I give the wrong meaning.
Moving on, we are on the morning of day 5. Jiwon films herself after just waking up - no makeup!
Her skin is seriously flawless. And she shows us the view of the place. "The most beautiful morning in the world."
She makes breakfast then she hears the donkey!!
She brings her breakfast to the poolside to eat. Everything's calm and happy and she says her condition is good because she's happy.
Flashback to Day 1!
They arrive at a large gate (kinda reminds me of the gate in Secret Garden) which is huge and the sisters shout Bonjour from outside but no one hears them cos the compound is HUGE.
They press the bell, and finally the owners come out - Dominique and John!
First up is a tour of this humongous place and all the animals (and all have names!) - dogs, cats, chickens, turtles, swans, Nita the llama and most importantly, Zoe the donkey.
When Dominique was introducing the chickens,
Dominique: Sorry, it's a mess here.
Jiwon: No! I love it!
But she's scared of chickens, so when Dominique picked up 1, she walked backwards and told John 'I'm scared.' LOL.
Next, they enter the house and they can't stop squealing cos it's sooooo pretty! Jiwon in English: "I got goosebumps! So gorgeous! Beautiful! Oh my god!"
Her adorable reaction to hearing that John made all the furniture.
"I feel like I'm in a dream. Eotteokhae!! I want to live here!"
The sisters have a conversation with the owners and Jiwon busts out some English. She's not fluent, but gets her point across.
First meeting with Zoe the donkey!!!
Jiwon said she was scared of llamas but after meeting and feeding Nita, she thinks they're pretty now.
Just when they're about to leave, the donkey spit on Yookyung lol!!!!
Now that they're familiarised with the place, Dominique leaves them and Jiwon starts exploring what they have. She found soju in the fridge so they decide to buy lemon later to make her beloved honey lemon soju.
Jiwon is driving to the supermarket, and Yookyung is terrified lol!
Yookyung: Go slowly! Slowly!
Jiwon: -ignores- Whoooo! Mum I'm driving!! Assa!!!
Her driving license! The picture is so pretty!! |
They reach, and she needs to park. She tries reverse parking, but Yookyung's like "Can you just park forward." So she does that. And the moment she finishes parking, she's like "Let's go" without closing her windows and all -_- Sigh, this girl. Luckily her unnie is there to remind her.
At the supermarket, they see something that looks like kimchi so they buy it. But it's definitely not right - why would a French supermarket sell kimchi?
After finishing their grocery shopping, they head back to their car and Jiwon nearly gets into the wrong car LOL!!! "I only look at the colour of the car." That's dangerous!
They reach home and Jiwon starts lighting candles. Lost Stars is playing. Good taste in music!
She starts to get ready to cook, and oh no the kimchi isn't kimchi!
There's meat in it.
So she tries the meat and decides it's nice.
And then she needs a pounder so she goes to Yookyung's part of the house, but has much difficulty pounding whatever thing she's pounding. "I'm an action actress but I have no strength."
She goes back to her part of the house and promptly forgets when she was supposed to put in her pounded ingredient although her sister just told her like a few minutes ago lol.
And she also gets out the white wine and drinks one glass. My my, she's quite an alcoholic haha.
Next, she's preparing the batter for her pancake.
"The smell is nice right?"
.........
"The smell is nice right!! Hurry answer me! Do you like it or not?"
So the poor cameraman was forced to nod. And forced to try her suspicious looking pancake.
Jiwon: It's not bad. It's just missing something. Right? It's not bad.
Poor cameraman nodded again.
Jiwon: See?
She mopes around the kitchen. "It would've been nice if it was kimchi. Should I put curry? Red pepper paste?"
Then she continues making her pancakes and fails fantastically while flipping it.
"If this goes on air, I'm not going to be able to get married."
It's okay. I volunteer as tribute!
She tries it again and "Daebak!!!!"
And then she force feeds the poor cameraman again hahaha. She even blows it for him so he has no choice but to accept it.
This whole scene is very reminiscent of her cooking part in Family Outing when she kept saying it was nice and Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Jong Kook were like ?!?!
And while she's celebrating her success, her pancakes burn hahaha.
Next up is to make her honey lemon soju. And she ends up pouring almost the whole bottle out lol.
"When to drink it? Anytime!"
Finally it's time to eat.
Yookyung: What is this called?
Jiwon: Haerim Jeon....uhh no no, Jeon Haerim, wait no no, Haerim Jeon. (Jeon means pancake but Jeon Haerim is her real name ^^)
Yookyung: Isn't it banjeon? (means opposite)
Jiwon's pancake is burnt and she says she gave the nicer looking one to her sister, but her sister's pancake is all burnt on the underside too lmao.
Yookyung: Kkamjeon! (black pancake) Tanjeon! (burnt pancake)
Yookyung: Jjanjeon! (Salty pancake)
While her unni is having a lot of fun making snarky comments and coming up with names for the pancake, Jiwon looks so defeated haha.
Yookyung: It's nice
Jiwon: It's fine >( I'm not going to cook from now on.
LOLL annoyed Jiwon is adorable. We end here for now. And my goodness this took me ages to do up. Newfound respect for recappers!
