Review: GBRB Reap What You Sow (콩콩팥팥) (2023)
To be honest I’m not sure why I watched this show to the end. To be honest I found it a bit repetitive and dragged out. But I suppose you’d enjoy it if you liked the cast members.
Format
I think this show was actually filmed over a long span of time. I think the cast members would only go to the farm after extended periods of time (i.e. when the crops had grown). For some of the episodes, we’d have extended beginnings, where we would see the cast members exchange text messages, then meet up in the city and drive to the farm together. Those got repetitive after a while. Once or twice was fine, especially when there was something special, like when Kim Kibang brought his son to greet the others. In terms of the actual farmwork, it wasn’t too structured which is fine. The guys spent a lot of time figuring out what to do and asking for help from the neighbours.
Where I found the show tedious was when they focused on games in the downtime. I get that they needed to space out the farming for the audience members who didn’t care too much for farming and were just there for the celebrities they liked to watch, but that made this show no different from other Kvariety shows and therefore actually made the show lose appeal for me. I would have enjoyed more focus on farming than just typical variety funnies.
Production
It was fine. Nothing special that I haven’t seen in kvariety these days.
Content
I do think that the guys were genuinely working on farming well. They were trying to problem solve, though on many occasions they’d have to seek other resources, whether it was borrowing help from their neighbours or getting benefits from the staff through games. But I think the pervasiveness of trying to make everything funny slowed the show down quite a bit to the point that I started to lose interest.
Overall
Not super interesting as a farming show, but you can watch it if you want to watch a kvariety show with these guys.
