"Too hungry to even see the sunset": 2 Days & 1 Night faces a feast of monkfish on Geoje Island

Even the stunning sunset of Geoje Island could not overcome the cast's intense hunger. Facing extreme starvation, the dinner menu presented to the cast was a full spread of monkfish, a renowned delicacy from the waters off Geoje. However, they could not immediately enjoy the boiled monkfish and braised monkfish set before them. A "Dinner Golden Bell" mission awaited, where only those who answered correctly could eat.

"I'm so hungry I can't even see the beauty"... A bittersweet situation caused by extreme hunger

Even amidst the sweeping ridges and sunset views of Geoje Island, the cast's attention was focused solely on "protein." Expressing their hunger, they showed desperation, saying, "I'm so hungry I can't even see that beautiful sunset over there." Anticipation reached its peak when the boiled and braised monkfish were served, but the mission rules were ruthless. It was a "relay-style" quiz where only those who answered correctly could eat, and they had to rotate turns until the next correct answer was provided.

The theme of the mission was dramas. They were given a high-difficulty task: upon hearing a specific actor's name, they had to name five of their drama titles in succession. For the first round, when asked about the works of actor Namkoong Min, the cast desperately put their heads together, recalling titles such as *Stove League*, *Chief Kim*, *The Marriage Completion*, and *Black Sun*. However, even when a correct answer was given, the meal was only momentary; a tense atmosphere filled the table, as they had to stop eating and step aside if the next correct answer was not produced.

From Gong Yoo to Lee Byung-hun: Tangled memories and the trap of the "Drama Quiz"

The quiz grew increasingly difficult. Upon hearing the name of actor Gong Yoo, the cast drifted into reminiscence by mentioning their all-time favorite dramas, but confusion intensified during the actual process of finding the correct answers. In the attempt to name Gong Yoo's works, names got mixed up or random answers popped out, repeatedly interrupting the flow of the meal. In the subsequent quiz regarding Lee Byung-hun's works, a fierce battle of wits ensued as titles like *Iris*, *Mr. Sunshine*, and *Squid Game* were mentioned.

Quizzes with character count constraints left the cast even more at a loss. To find four-letter drama titles, they struggled, shouting out *Iris*, *New Heart*, and *Sandglass*. During the five-letter title mission, they barely managed to secure their boiled monkfish by finding *My Daughter Seo-young*, *Squid Game*, and *Queen of Mystery*. Even in the urgent situation where the menu switched to monkfish bulgogi, the cast's "full brain power" never stopped as they fought to name the drama titles.

Moving beyond a simple "mukbang," this episode added variety-show entertainment through a unique structure where the cast's memory and quick wit were directly linked to their right to eat. With hunger stripping away even the leisure to enjoy the scenery and the obstacle of the drama quiz, the dinner in Geoje Island took on the nature of a more intense survival game than ever before.
