tvN 'Fresh off the Sea in Kalape' finally lifts the veil today (16th). As the chaotic journey of the four siblings unfolds in the pristine natural setting of Bohol, Philippines, what they thought was a "vacation" turns into "labor hell," promising an unprecedented survival story.
In episode 1 of Fresh off the Sea in Kalape, which premieres at 8:40 p.m. on the 16th, commander Yum Jung-ah leads Park Joon Myun, Dex, and the newly joined "new maknae" Kim Hyeyoon in their first meeting. In particular, Park Joon Myun, who quit late-night snacks and lost as much as 10kg to appear much slimmer, and Dex, who begins to sort out the pecking order after escaping the youngest position, are expected to deliver big laughs from the start.
Excitement quickly turned into screams. The production team's sweet temptation of "we prepared a vacation" was brief, as the four siblings were handed a shocking schedule filled with labor. Amid the siblings' collective protest, a series of outrageous missions that could change the schedule followed, reportedly devastating the set.
The main stage of the full-scale "labor hell" is Bohol's mangrove wetlands. The four siblings plunged into the mud to hunt for Bohol's local delicacy that even locals wince at. In the harsh conditions that made it hard even to hold one's body together, not only the cast but also the production crew reportedly fell into an incapacitated state in an "unprecedented situation."
With the desperate cry "this is not a harvest but survival" echoing as the fierce struggle continued, anticipation for the premiere has reached a peak over what the labor that left the four siblings shaken actually is, and whether they can turn this labor hell into a true vacation after their desperate efforts.
