I can't help but love Robin. I know he barely says anything but he's so adorable with his flashes of aegyo ♥__♥ ugh. Cutie.
I was annoyed by Enes' stubbornness at first, I can't with people who have no room to budge in their opinions and try to convince you their opinion is fact BUUUUT...idk, I've warmed to him. At least the guy can laugh at himself. I enjoy his never-ending stream of Turkish sayings, lmao.
I like the group on a whole. It's great that they all think quite differently and we get quite varying views on everything discussed.

It's a show about a mock conference where guys from different countries discuss on topics presented by Korean representatives ( the guests). Ultimately, they have to decide on whether or not the agenda is abnormal.
The show provides a chance to dispel stereotypes through discussions. It's funny and interesting to see different perspectives especially in this setting. My only wish is that change up the panel. As much as I love the cast, they need more people from nonwestern countries
Basically it's like Hello Counselor but the concerns are raised by the celebrity guest (either their concerns or a friend of theirs) & you have 11 charming gentlemen of different races to have a share of opinions about the concern/topic. 11 plus the 3 MCs, so that's 14 gentlemen.
And before the show ends they decide whether the situation raised by the guest is abnormal or not, kinda like in Hello Counselor where they decide if the concern sent is indeed something to be worried upon or it's just a normal everyday concern.
those guys are really funny, even when I don't agree with them I still laugh ^^ I hope this show will continue a long time!
I'm happy for Sam, he finally got his actress!
it was a good thing to talk about countries' cliché because it's something very annoying when you go abroad but you can see everybody takes it at heart.
to be honest I felt a bit attacked by Alberto he made it sound like Italy was a poor country and France was the capitalized country taking benefit from it. there are countries where they produce whine and nobody knows it. But Italian whine is well known and Italian fashion is very famous. Moreover France and Italy have the same kind of image and that's what brings the tourists. he talked so much that at the end I thought he jut wanted to complain lol I wonder how I would feel if it was something more serious like with Takuya last week... And Julian saying Brussels is the capital of Europe and the others didn't understand. yes, he meant the EU lol
same about Alberto lol by the end I honestly couldn't help but feel a bit offended/hurt, he just really wanted everyone to think we have nothing to back up the image the country has. Robin's reaction was perfect haha I was just a bit dejected, let him say what he wants to say if it makes him feel better x)
I love this show -- wondering if it's as entertaining for non-Europeans as it is for me. Loads of Western Europeans in there, and I'm all for the tiny nations' fighting over nothing. It makes me wonder if the rest of the world gets those inside jokes, though. Seeing that there's going to be a German from next week on, this is probably going to escalate more. Looking forward to Germany vs France or Germany vs Turkey.
Too bad the guests were just sitting there.
Zhang Yuan and Takuya were forced to talk to each other which is a bit surreal on South Korean show, but it's also cute. I still think that Yuan is an okay guy, and any of us would act just as ridiculous given the amount of brainwash he was exposed to.
What else... The casting is so good. They do bring their local stereotypes with them.
Should I keep putting up who the guests are or nah?
Also zhang yuan annoys me greatly. The only reason I can stand him is because all the others seem to poke fun at him and not take him too seriously.
I'll miss James. Sigh at the show getting another European though...I need some South American/more African/anywhere else with not a predominantly white race getting representation. Actually now that I think about it, it's surprising there aren't any reps from other asian countries.
I was so worried enes and julian would just explode when things get heated, but after knowing they've known each other for more than 3 years and are close enough to have gone on meals in the past, it makes me more assured things wont escalate.
Julian is one of the members who brings in the laughs but watching him on I Live Alone made me see another side to him especially when he asked fabien if he isnt worried about just doing work in the entertainment industry with no backup since it can work out well one minute and can be completely gone the next. He also talked about how it's better to live with people who come from the same place you did as you go about life in korean soceity bec it gives you that balance. You work and interact with koreans outside but still remember who your identity when you get home. Fabian seems to be so detached from his french/viet heritage judging from his vogue interview and i learned on this episode that he mostly just hang out with koreans and very rarely with french people. Seeing julian be so mature but say it in a very light hearted and chill matter made me see him in a new light.
Can the replace daniel though? Im sure there are many other australians out there. Plus the new german dude's name is daniel too. One is enough tbh.

Date: 2014-08-10 06:14 am (UTC)I love this show. It's so hilarious!
Gah! Enes is so stubborn and funny. His conservatism comes off as something to laugh at. He reminds me of my uncles.
Aww, bless Robin. He was so ready to answer.
I adore Tyler. He's so level-headed and provides great insight.

if it weren't for the whole cast making fun of Zhang Yuan's overbearing nationalism, he would have gotten on my nerves greatly
sad to see James leave ;; I'll miss his British accent and words of wisdom
Next episode is going to be so much fun, the topic alone already LOL

Can the replace daniel though? Im sure there are many other australians out there. Plus the new german dude's name is daniel too. One is enough tbh.
