The MBC Every1 show 'The Great Guide 2' aired on May 6, 2025, featuring Park Myung-soo, Choi Da-niell, and Lee Mu-jin's trip to Argentina. The trio, known as 'Three Alcohols', embarked on an urban-style adventure that promised laughter and camaraderie.
Lee Mu-jin, the youngest member, quickly showcased his 'Yamoojin' persona, impressing both his older companions and the audience. As the group prepared for their journey, Kim Dae-ho, a previous travel companion, expressed playful jealousy towards Lee Mu-jin's charm, adding an extra layer of humor to the episode.
Upon arrival in Argentina, the group met their local guide, Andres, who is recognized as Korea's first foreign tour operator. Andres had prepared a detailed guidebook tailored to the group's preferences, ensuring their adventure would be memorable. Argentina, often referred to as the treasure of South America, is located on the opposite side of the Earth, with a significant 12-hour time difference from South Korea.
Andres highlighted exciting experiences awaiting the travelers, including tango lessons, scenic biker roads, and the breathtaking glacier trekking. The anticipation was palpable as the 'Three Alcohols' set off for their long journey.
After a grueling 33-hour travel stint, the group finally arrived in Argentina. Lee Mu-jin, demonstrating his resourcefulness, effectively used a taxi-hailing app to secure a ride at a price lower than the airport average. His quick thinking earned him praise from Park Myung-soo, who exclaimed, "Isn't it obvious that I should compliment him? I was going to be an international orphan, but Mu-jin saved me!" Choi Da-niell chimed in, expressing relief at having Mu-jin as a travel companion.
Once settled into their accommodation, the trio ventured out to sample local cuisine, specifically a unique onion pizza recommended by Andres. The cityscape of Buenos Aires dazzled them, reminiscent of Broadway with its vibrant lights. As they enjoyed their meal, the trio couldn't help but admire the taste of the pizza, with Lee Mu-jin declaring, "This is amazing!" Their enthusiasm was infectious, setting the stage for the adventures ahead.
The following morning brought unexpected surprises. Choi Da-niell, eager to explore, left the accommodation early, catching the production team off guard. Meanwhile, Lee Mu-jin took the initiative to check the location of a currency exchange, showcasing his preparedness for the trip.
Later, when the group reconvened for a photo opportunity, a humorous moment ensued as Park Myung-soo accidentally caused a minor mishap while sneezing, resulting in laughter among the trio. However, amidst the fun, a challenge loomed as they faced the complexities of currency exchange, hinting at potential struggles in the upcoming episodes.
A lighter moment occurred when Park Myung-soo learned that Lee Mu-jin's father, born in 1973, was actually three years younger than him. This revelation led to a comical discussion about how they should address one another. Lee Mu-jin jokingly asked, "Father?" causing laughter, while Park Myung-soo suggested that he should be referred to as 'hyung-nim' (older brother) and Choi Da-niell as 'hyung'.
Throughout the episode, Lee Mu-jin's adaptability and charm shone brightly, earning him the affection of his older companions. Park Myung-soo humorously declared, "Dae-ho is leaving, and you're doing it," showcasing their growing bond and camaraderie.
As the episode progressed, the group engaged in light-hearted banter, with Park Myung-soo expressing his reluctance to attempt glacier trekking due to his age. He noted, "I like good scenery but I won’t go camping," contrasting with Lee Mu-jin's extensive camping experience, which he attributed to his father's enthusiasm for the outdoors.
Despite the playful rivalries and humorous exchanges, the underlying theme of friendship and support resonated throughout the episode. Lee Mu-jin's presence not only brought laughter but also a sense of unity among the group as they navigated the challenges of international travel.
As the episode drew to a close, viewers were left eagerly anticipating the next installment of their Argentine adventure. The chemistry between Park Myung-soo, Choi Da-niell, and Lee Mu-jin, alongside the comedic tension with Kim Dae-ho, set the stage for a delightful travel series. The show, known for its engaging format, continues to capture the hearts of audiences, showcasing the beauty of friendship and exploration.
