It's Dangerous Beyond the Blankets: Pilot Episode 1
0 people found this review helpful
In the first episode of Ibul Bakkeun Wiheomhae, the first four celebrities reach the vacation house - actor Lee Sang-woo, member of K-Pop group Wanna One Kang Daniel, member of K-Pop group HIGHLIGHT Yong Junhyung, and singer Park Jaejung. Upon them all arriving, the awkwardness begins as the more comfortable at home celebrities adjust to living in a new vacation house with people they have never met before.
At first, I wasn't too sure of IBW. I only watched it for one celebrity on the show, and he wasn't in the first episode other than a short interview at the very start of the show, and I didn't think I had much attention to give to it otherwise. However, once the homebodies began to move in and began to meet each other, the humour began. Watching them converse so awkwardly brought genuine laughs tumbling over my lips. It seems bad to laugh at but the show was made for humour and comedy. As the relationships began to develop, the show became sweeter, providing a look into the life of celebrities that you know and love, and to see them interacting as themselves - not as a celebrity.
The first episode of IBW did bore me a little, but it was entertaining, funny, and definitely heartwarming.

Being a fan of EXO, EXO Next Door is something I've wanted to watch for a very long time. Finally finding it, I decided to sit down and watch the first episode. I definitely wasn't prepared for how this starts out, with an over the top cringe vibe although funny as it was. It took me a while to really get into this but once I did, I could definitely relax with it.
Ji Yeonhee is a 23-year-old EXO-L who has never had a boyfriend and is excited at the prospect of having a group of good-looking men moving in next door to her. However, she has a large shock coming, when EXO - her favourite K-Pop group - are the ones to move in next door to her.
Truth be told, this is a total cringe fest at first. There was a lot that made me wince at the screen, including some of the editing (Yeonhee running away at the start of the episode, along with the whole start of the episode), but once you get past the cringe side of the episode, it becomes quite enjoyable. Although there are the odd moments where I can't help but roll my eyes at the screen, this is enjoyable.
Seeing EXO as they are, acting, but also being themselves on screen and obviously having fun whilst filming it is definitely enough for me to continue this drama and to enjoy it fully. Moon Gayoung does an amazing job as Ji Yeonhee and is hilarious to see on screen, and she does a really good job of being a young adult tired of her mother and being yelled at and does a really good job of being a fangirl on screen. I can easily believe Yeonhee is just another EXO-L like myself, and the fact her character is so believable and relatable makes this so much more enjoyable.
Although EXO only have a small portion of screen time in this episode, I'm definitely excited to see where EXO Next Door is going to go and what route the storyline is going to take - and the all-important question - who is Yeonhee's bias and who is she going to choose as a boyfriend (or so I assume from romance tags on the show).
As long as you're able to get past the cringes at the start of this episode, I recommend this for sure. This is a wonderful show for any EXO-L to watch, seeing our boys in a more professional way but also being themselves, and Moon Gayoung really brings the other portion of this series to light. It's definitely enjoyable and a laugh for sure.
