Village Survival, the Eight (2018)

Both are mysterious and clue-finding variety shows. While Crime Scene is more complicated, thrilling, and wholesome, Village Survival was more on the funny side and laughs.

Another fun variety show where the cast members play games to get hints and solve puzzles. Instead of competing for a prize, the cast members are working together to solve one big mystery. The production value goes into the world building of the story and the guest appearances are catered to showcase the guests' talents in acting/comedy/problem solving.

Village Survival, the Eight is the first season before Village Survival, the Eight 2. Both of them follow the same layout, where $10,000 is hidden and the members must used their objects to find clues to find the prize money. There is mini games in-between to get more hints and the members both have to cook dinner and lunch. However, in Village Survival, the Eight 2 some of the rules change which include; the money doesn’t get carried onto the next eposide and the location is different.

Village Survival is like a combination of Family Outing with mystery-investigation kinda-like theme. It doesn't suit my preferences, but still "okay" to watch. I recommend this if you like Jennie Blackpink, because she's actually starred in Village Survival! Oh, and there's Yoo Jae Suk too!
