Yoo Jae-seok "I'm ashamed"…A picnic that became embarrassing
MBC's 'What Do You Do When You Play?', which aired on the 27th, depicted the three good deed team employees of 'Good Deeds Co., Ltd.' who left for a good deed reward picnic in Ui-dong, Yoo Jae-seok - Haha - Kim Seon-haeng (Kim Jong-min) - Joo Woo-jae - Park Jin-joo, Lee Yi-kyung and Lee Mi-joo. . The tiki-taka chemistry between the powerful Manager Yoo, who gets kicked around by his employees, and the employees who try to upset Manager Yoo in various ways, shone, completing a picnic full of laughter.
The broadcast on this day recorded a 2049 viewership rating of 2.8%, a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topicality, and maintained the top spot among Saturday entertainment programs. The household viewership rating in the metropolitan area rose to 4.3%, and the highest viewer rating per minute rose to 5.1%. The best moment was the scene of the three good deed teams going to the supermarket to buy ingredients for fish porridge. Manager Yoo, who only knew fish porridge, and the employees' struggles to buy snacks to avoid fish porridge signaled the beginning of the rebellion.
The employees of the three preceding teams showed up grumbling because Manager Yoo had planned a picnic on the weekend. Here, Manager Yoo pretended to listen to the employees' opinions and even decided on his favorite fish porridge for lunch, incurring complaints from the employees. Manager Yoo, who saw Joo Woo-jae and Lee Yi-kyung rebellious, tried to enforce discipline by saying, “Are you here to have fun?” “I was taken aback by the comment. Even Lee Mi-joo brightly said, “Manager, we came to have fun,” and Manager Yoo’s nagging time came to an end.
The three teams that arrived at the picnic venue decided on a game under Manager Yoo's leadership and started making fish porridge. However, contrary to Manager Yu's wishes, the employees took revenge(?), causing laughter. Kim Seon-haeng unintentionally hit Manager Yoo's important part when he asked them to play a game of pile driving. Director Yu, who fell, shouted, “You evildoer!” Also, while making fish porridge, I had a conflict with Haha and Lee Yi-kyung. Manager Yoo threw ashes on the food and got into a fight with Lee Yi-kyung, the fish porridge chef, over the seasoning and broth. Because of Manager Yoo's constant nagging, Lee Yi-kyung briefly summoned the drama character 'Trash Husband' and said, "Oh, please!", causing laughter.
The employees of the three preceding teams united by teasing Manager Yoo whenever they had the chance. During the meal, Director Yu was talking and food flew out of his mouth, and Kim Seon-haeng said, “The structure of the mouth is a little...” “He started teasing me. Without missing this point, Lee Yi-kyung attacked, asking, “Are your teeth spinning like a revolving door?” Here, Joo Woo-jae gave the nickname, “It’s like a broken piano.” After putting his hand on Director Yu's mouth as he responded, he played the piano and said, "Mimimi, lalala." Manager Yoo, embarrassed by the ridicule of Joo Woo-jae, who had gone crazy(?), appeared speechless and said, “That bastard.”
Even during the break after the meal, the teasing of Manager Yoo from the three preceding teams continued. Joo Woo-jae played the role of 'Bone Tae-sin' by summoning Jung Woo-sung's character Lee Tae-sin from the movie 'Spring of Seoul' whenever Manager Yoo tried to talk, and imitated Jung Woo-sung's vocals by saying, "Have you eaten?", making everyone laugh. Kim Seon-haeng did not focus on Manager Yoo's words and inhaled the rat, and when Manager Yoo was ridiculed for playing the dental piano by Joo Woo-jae, he muttered, "It's broken," and reached the peak of his teasing.
Next, a table tennis game was played. While the teams were divided into teams Lee Mi-ju and Park Jin-ju, Manager Yoo showed excitement for the game, saying that he was good at table tennis. However, Lee Mi-ju and Park Jin-ju did not choose Manager Yoo as a team member, and Manager Yoo was forced to sit at the referee's table. In the meantime, the ball that Kim Seon-haeng hit hit Manager Yoo in the face, and Manager Yoo exploded in sadness and shouted, “That bastard,” making everyone laugh. The sight of Manager Yoo getting kicked around due to bad karma(?) for inviting his subordinates to a picnic on the weekend was sad, and made us anticipate Manager Yu's picnic of suffering to continue.
The trailer released at the end of the broadcast showed a more heated picnic for the three leading teams that started the main game. Manager Yu said, “It’s a game, but it’s so shameful,” and excited employees were shown, predicting a big laugh.
