Recently appointed as a professor at his alma mater Sejong University, Yoo Yeon-seok takes on the challenge of repaying a favor to the restaurant he frequented during college.
SBS variety program Whenever Possible (directed by Choi Bo-pil / writer Chae Jin-ah) is a 'niche attack' variety that gifts moments of luck during the brief gaps encountered in daily life. The broadcast on the 3rd recorded a peak viewership rating of 6.6% and a 2049 rating of 1.5%, ranking first in its time slot and claiming the undisputed No. 1 spot among all dramas and variety shows aired that day, showing the strength of Tuesday's variety contender. (Nielsen Korea, Seoul metropolitan area standard) Today's (10th) broadcast features the two MCs Yu Jae-seok and Yoo Yeon-seok alongside actors Esom, Kim Kyeong-nam, and Jun Suk-ho, delivering boisterous healing dopamine around the Gunja-dong area.
Meanwhile, Yoo Yeon-seok draws attention by performing as the life-or-death "game ace." The driving force that unleashed Yoo Yeon-seok's abilities that day was the owner of his regular restaurant, who appeared as the gap owner. Yoo Yeon-seok, saying "nine years as an undergraduate, and I even came here often during graduate school," was briefly lost in reminiscing, but soon revealed an extraordinary sense of mission toward completing the mission. Thus begins Yoo Yeon-seok's intense struggle to 'repay the favor.' In particular, Yoo Yeon-seok demonstrated the true value of a 'genius from the waist up,' and repeatedly cried out "Just once!" as he fell into a practice trance and even found the surefire angle, prompting Jun Suk-ho to say, "I see hope!" in emotion. At one point Yoo Yeon-seok blurted out, "I have to keep coming here!" appealing his earnestness and causing bursts of laughter, the report said.
At the same time, Esom, Kim Kyeong-nam and Jun Suk-ho add interest by expressing success-driven ambition on par with Yoo Yeon-seok. The three not only devote themselves to practice but also set out to find strategies solely to raise their win rates. The strategy Jun Suk-ho discovered was to blow on a ping-pong ball to make it moist and increase friction. Jun Suk-ho not only demonstrated an enthusiastic example but also encouraged, "Don't be embarrassed about this!" charging the atmosphere and turning the scene into a sea of laughter. Ahead of the game, everyone competitively subjected the balls to gusts of breath, creating a remarkable spectacle, the report said.
Whether ace Yoo Yeon-seok and Jun Suk-ho's ingenious strategy(?) will work, and the ending of the once-again dramatic pot ping-pong game they create, can be seen on the broadcast of Whenever Possible.
Meanwhile, the Tuesday healing variety SBS "Whenever Possible," which will contain even more sophisticated chatting chemistry and dopamine-exploding games, airs every Tuesday at 9 p.m.
