1 Night 2 Days Drama Road Trip Part 2 with Ahn Jae Wook.

The drama road trip part 1 begun at Taebaek Mt. where the filming set of the KBS drama Descendants of the Sun. They were divided into 2 teams- Medical Team and Detached Team. Medical team wins the lunch mission and additional to that, the guys were ecstatic upon hearing actress Song Hae Gyo's voice through a phone call.  

1 Night 2 Days team continue on in Gangwon-do province where Shi Yoon thinks they are going to Autumn In My Heart drama which shot teen Song Hae Gyo to stardom with 40% viewers ratings. Tough luck when Defconn hopped out from the van shouting that they are at Sabuk Station. Sabuk is a small town nestled at Taebaek Mt. range and used to be a mining town. However after so many years it has changed a fair bit. 
PD Yu tells them this is where the popular 1990's drama Our Sunny Days of Youth 젊은이의 양지  starring Bae Yong Jun, Jeon Do Yeon, Lee Jong Won and even Cha Tae Hyun was in it! Tae Hyun was just in his early 20s and started out in acting business. Everyone was laughing out seeing the uncanny resemblance of young Tae Hyun and his son Soo Chan. Just about then, a train pulled up at the Sabuk station where passengers were quickly snapping photos of the members waving happily. Defconn pouted and felt disappointed as a female passenger was eager to snap Shi Yoon's photo. 
She signaled to Defconn asking him to move aside so that she can take the actor's photo. 

Now the mission of physical age test, and brain age test. Physical age test is where each member holds together their elbows and lift up. It will determine their age category. Defconn, Tae Hyun and Jong Min struggled with difficulties while Jun Young, Shi Yoon and Jun Ho were top 3. Jun Ho teased that Tae Hyun only has that baby face; apart from that his entire body is like a 60-year old man!
Jun Young has proved to be the smartest and youngest in the brain age test beating out Jong Min. Next was tasting test where Tae Hyun pointed out everything will taste the same to him...his taste buds have deteriorated. Each member was given 3 small plates containing the different parts of a cow. They have to taste the meat and determine which is the shank.
Everyone picked plate 2 except for Tae Hyun chose plate 3. Surprisingly everyone chose the wrong plate and Tae Hyun won the tasting mission! Members have to choose 2 dishes to cook for dinner later that night. Jun Young chose the squid and pork belly. Tae Hyun took the beef ribs and rice cakes. Defconn picked flour and potato. Shi Yoon chose red pepper paste, bean sprouts and bean paste. Jong Min took the eggs leaving Jun Ho with the weirdest combination- zucchini and cheese!  Just the thought of what dish will he ever cook with those ingredients?

Next the members were driven to highlands up to discover tons of alpine napa cabbages grown all over the place. They arrived at the place called Ridge of the Wind where those big wind turbines were built to generate renewable energy. PD Yu tells them to start cooking their meals for the night. Jun Young partnered with Shi Yoon to cook red pepper squid dish along with bean sprouts bean paste soup. Jun Ho and Jong Min's fried rice dish was bearable however their zucchini soup with cheese was a total disaster! Defconn cooked potato and cabbage pancake. 


After dinner, they were brought to view some stars in the sky. That reminded them of the famous 1997 drama Star in My Heart starring Ahn Jae Wook and the late Choi Jin Shil. The members started singing the famous song sung by Ahn entitled Forever. PD Yu tells them the mission is to talk to Ahn through the phone for 10 minutes. Each member has a sentence whereby they need to have Ahn say that sentence or word to pass the mission. Tae Hyun chose the sentence 'I will treat you", while Jong Min had the song Forever to sing together with him, Jun Young picked the sentence ' Ah really?' which was easy. Jun Ho and Defconn have the hardest sentences while Ahn laughed while talking to them. Jun Young and Jong Min passed the mission. The rest failed so they have to pick 50-70-100 cabbages the next morning at 4.30 am!


Jong Min and Jun Young snooze happily in their tents while the losers have to work at the napa cabbage farm. The morning dew on the cabbages ensure the vegetable is crisp and fresh. The group started working hard while Jun Ho goof around. He fell in despair seeing he cannot pick 100 cabbages. He started dissing away and getting the writers and even PD Yu to help him to pick the cabbages! Talk about his laziness and ways of working! Finally the cabbage picking was over and they woke Jun Young and Jong Min up. The Road Drama trip has ended well in visiting those areas and even talking to some of the biggest celebrities.
