'Omniscient Interfering View' filled Saturday night with fun by showing star instructor Lee Do's geography-obsessed daily life and magician Choi Hyun-woo's unbelievable, magical day.
The 365th episode of MBC variety show Omniscient Interfering View, which aired on the 20th, featured geography instructor Lee Do, whose professional charm was palpable, and magician Choi Hyun-woo's exciting daily life.
Before revealing Lee Do's daily routine, the studio hosted Choi Hyun-woo's special magic show using AI. The cast each chose a card following his instructions, and the combination of "diamond 7" was ultimately completed. Astonishingly, as if he had predicted the card the cast would complete, Choi Hyun-woo pulled the identical card from the deck on the table and showed it to everyone, shocking them all.
Next, star instructor Lee Do's passion-filled daily life was broadcast. From morning she was busy preparing commentary lectures for the September mock exam. She showed exceptional dedication, making the PPT herself overnight and practicing a mock lecture in the living room. Even during breaks she smiled while looking at maps, fully revealing her true geography enthusiast side.
Meanwhile, Lee Do's lecture-tailored fashion caught attention. Considering that only the upper body appears in online lectures, she wore a dress on top and training pants on the bottom as she headed to the shop. As assistant instructor and manager Shin Yong-jung said, "If she drives herself she can't do geography-related work, so she always uses public transportation," Lee Do was absorbed in work answering students' Q&As on her laptop even on the subway. While getting makeup, she displayed compelling lecturing skills that drew viewers in, telling stories such as Gangnam being a new town and moving prestigious high schools to attract people.
Before the lecture started, Lee Do and her manager showed perfect coordination and completed all preparations, displaying professionalism by thoroughly covering three subjects — Korean geography, world geography and integrated social studies — over six hours. The next day Lee Do and her manager went on a field survey together to take photos for questions. They captured scenes from various locations, including a spot with a panoramic view of Seoul and Suseong-dong valley, which underwent redevelopment twice. As a final course, after photographing the giant tafoni at Seonbawi on Inwang Mountain, they added warmth by praying for students preparing for the college entrance exam.
Next, the previous week's hypnotized Jun Hyun-moo appeared. Not only did he answer the dopamine-inducing questions from the hypnosis expert smoothly, he revealed his inner thought that "she is scary" about Lee Young-ja and predicted that he himself would win this year's entertainment awards, prompting laughter. Choi Hyun-woo, addressing Jun Hyun-moo after he came out of hypnosis, delivered a blunt remark that "Hyung is a person who is easily hypnotized," causing uproarious laughter.
After Jun Hyun-moo's hypnosis, footage of Choi Hyun-woo's shocking "aphantasia" performance was revealed. Choi Hyun-woo randomly selected two people from the audience and began telepathy magic that made them act like one body, and he attempted a group hypnosis on the entire audience. In this process, Jun Hyun-moo served as the antenna connecting everyone's unconscious. Choi Hyun-woo called people who were under the first stage of hypnosis onto the stage and, saying "slip," touched them to plunge them into deep hypnosis, astonishing the studio.
In addition, Choi Hyun-woo showcased overwhelming tarot skills boasting 30 years of experience. Once again, he accurately guessed information that only the person could know, such as the marriage dates, occupations and proposal songs of randomly chosen people, giving the audience goosebumps. Choi Hyun-woo's unbelievable "great magician" performance concluded successfully with a standing ovation from the audience.
According to ratings agency Nielsen Korea, episode 365 of Omniscient Interfering View ranked first among variety shows airing in the same time slot with a 1.4% rating in the 20-49 demographic, the key indicator for channel competitiveness, and a 3.2% household rating in the Seoul metropolitan area. In particular, when Jun Hyun-moo fell completely into hypnosis, the scene of Choi Hyun-woo saying "a person who is easily hypnotized" to him, which the audience watched, pushed the minute peak rating to 3.9% and hit viewers' funny bones.
Next week's broadcast will feature celebrity husband (?) Kangnam, with his unique golden-touch parenting and social skills, who will reveal his love house with Lee Sang-hwa and show a mischievous daily life in which he eats illicit diets that cause blood sugar spikes while hiding from his wife. Also, Park Joon Myun, who is appearing as court lady Gimi in the hit drama Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, will return to share vivid behind-the-scenes stories, from Park's signature meal recipes that bewitched Lee Young-ja to tips for managing one's throat in the Mamma Mia musical dressing room, raising expectations.
Broadcast every Saturday at 11:10 p.m.
