Três Refeições ao Dia: Vila de pescadores 1 (2015)

This is probably one of the most wholesome pieces of TV I've seen in my life. At first I was a bit confused, because the editing was done in a different way than the rest of the 3MAD series and then I read about the scandal of one of the hosts and the decision to chop his scenes out of the series. This affects the first three-four eps of the series, but the result is surprisingly fresh and paints a picture of a beautiful friendship between Cha and Yoo (as they refer to themselves). They also both feel drawn to Son Ho Jun who due to bad weather becomes literally stranded with them on the island for 6 days (at one point, they have to lend him some socks). No wonder he later on becomes the replacement host, they totally fell in love with him.

This show features a healthy bromance and plenty of it. The men share raw stuff from their lives with each other and it's very touching. Cha and Yoo also become Ho Jun's mentors, men to look up to and respect and they joke around almost constantly. No wonder this had such a high viewership, this 3MAD is something very special.

Fishing Village 1 is also very educational for people outside of Korea. It's fascinating to see the life of fishermen and you root for Yoo every time he gets to go fishing. I also really enjoyed how the show portrayed the life in the village. The people were interested in the house of the celebrities, they gave them a lot of advice when they met them at random and I loved the part, when the neighbourhood halmoni came to check if they were on fire because the fire smoked too much.

The food was on another level. Cha is an excellent cook and oh my goodness, they gave him some tough challenges, which he passed with flying colours.

The scenery and overall production of the show was just excellent. Well done all around, I can't wait to watch the second season.
