'Adventure By Accident' concluded its epic journey on the Chama River with the practice of five-point prostration.
On the 29th, through the episode aired on MBC's 'Adventure By Accident' (abbreviated as 'Adventure By Accident') episode 8, the emotional journey of three siblings toward the five-point prostration that would conclude their Chama River journey unfolded, and 'Adventure By Accident' came to an end.
On the 30th, according to viewer rating company Nielsen Korea, episode 8 of 'Adventure By Accident' recorded a viewership rating of 4.5%, with a peak rating of 5.4%. The 'best one minute' was marked by Kian84's last remark at the conclusion of the Chama River journey, wishing, 'I hope there are many fun and good things in this journey called life.' The heartfelt journey that intertwined unexpected encounters with ethnic minorities, the warmth of the four siblings' friendship, and personal growth resonated deeply with the viewers.
The three siblings who set out to find a practitioner of five-point prostration entered 'Songchanlim Temple', a place where numerous monks and practitioners of Tibetan Buddhism reside and a sacred site for the practice of five-point prostration. They encountered the practitioner outside the temple and watched solemnly, unable to take their eyes off the sacredness.
The three siblings, who intended to stop by the supermarket to buy some snacks, encountered a supermarket grandmother who struggled with calculations. Before performing the five-point prostration, within the situation that turned into a 'calculation exercise,' the siblings smiled warmly at the grandmother's kind demeanor, which resembled that of a young girl, and it brought warmth to the viewers.
Before the five-point prostration, the three went to find a natural underground hot spring located at about 3,300 meters above sea level to refresh themselves. The scene of the natural hot spring resembled the moment they visited an outdoor hot spring in Peru from season 1, prompting Kian84 to recall, 'It's strange and amazing, like a déjà vu.' Afterwards, when Kian84 found the shower room, he compared it to a scene reminiscent of the horror movie 'Saw' and humorously declared, 'I can shower tomorrow,' giving up on showering and making the studio burst into laughter.
Kian84 arrived at the ancient Chama River trail with a history of about 2,200 years, situated on a cliff above the hot spring. While walking on this path that was actually used, he reflected on the Chama River journey, saying, 'Many people must have braved this path knowing they might die,' and fell into deep contemplation of the feelings of the locals at that time.
Meanwhile, in the studio, Lee Si-eon was depicted giving the siblings a handmade album containing all the film photos he took during this trip. Touched by the heartfelt gift, the youngest, Dex, sent a certification shot to express his overwhelming emotions.
The next morning at dawn, the three siblings equipped themselves and seriously began the practice of five-point prostration. Lee Si-eon revealed, 'I have a heartfelt wish,' disclosing family plans and receiving support from viewers, and Kian84, known for rarely shedding tears, confessed that he has become more emotional after the five-point prostration, stating, 'I have transformed from a traveler into a practitioner.' The warm gesture of a local handing bread to the three siblings performing the five-point prostration deeply touched the hearts of viewers.
At the end of the broadcast, during the final farewell, Lee Si-eon could not hold back his tears and wept bitterly, while Jang Doyoun noted, 'I've never seen someone cry like this before.' Kian84's final words to the viewers were, 'I hope light shines on your lives,' while Pani Bottle said, 'Let's do what we want to do.' Additionally, Kian84 expressed gratitude to his brothers who traveled with him through the difficult journey, delivering a touching moment.
'As Kian84 said, '
On the upcoming Sunday, the 6th, at 9:10 p.m., a special featuring unreleased footage from 'Adventure By Accident,' titled 'Adventure By Accident Special: Hard Travel After the Journey,' will air to satisfy viewers' desire.
