Three Meals a Day: Jeongseon Village 2 (2015)

After struggling the whole late autumn and winter, here comes the spring and summer, bringing new hope, groove and hilarious situations. For better dynamic, the hosts also get reinforcements in Kim Kwang Gyu, which is a great move. In this edition, they also start to really dwell into the self-sufficiency theme and they don't let the hosts just run around town to buy whatever, but they have to either work for it, or present Na PD with something they harvested, which gains them money. At least, this was the idea. In reality, Seo Jin just tries to push his luck and he makes a lot of deals.

They make improvements to the house and its surroundings, they learn a lot about taking care of the garden and they even build an oven. They also make themselves almost natives in the area and the locals are really proud of them, making various signs about which host likes what from their shop. All of them also improved as cooks and it's a joy to watch.

The choice of guests was excellent in this run, again. The three hosts have great chemistry and they make everyone feel welcome. Personally, I think that it worked the best with Park Shin Hye, whom they all adored and they (drunk) called her all the time, after she left.

I loved this very much and I will return to it in the future. It really was that good.

People grow when they are nurtured, just like nature

I said this in Season 1: Absolute gold! Loved the cameraderie and make-do of both cooks and how they evolve. I kept wiping tears of laughter, the commentary is so witty. Lovely to see actors being real people." and I still feel the same way, after living vicariously through 3 amazing people in Season 2, and feel even more! about this endearing and heartwarming show. It is a well-rounded, enticing, loving slice of human kindness, presented in the form of planning 3 Meals a Day and then devouring it with passion and dished up with raw emotions. Don't miss it!
