comments:
i was genuinely really surprised when i got the notification the day that svtside out got a sequel because it's really?? not a remarkable episode?? LOL and then i saw that it was sponsored by the indoor sports complex and suddenly everything made sense, ESPECIALLY given that it's a one-part episode (which i feel like we never get in gose anymore!!)
i can picture it... the gose team thinking 'how do we make an episode where they're in the sports complex more fun... and also seungkwan isn't here...' and coming up with this!
i know the 'minghao's rage' scene is one that is very memorable in this episode but i actually really liked the first few parts with the rock climbing and the jumping (the koala imagery lives in my mind...!) a lot, especially given how they almost foreshadow the episode that came after this one (the legendary bungee jumping!!!) i also really loved the mid-credits scene for this episode with the behind-the-scenes of seungkwan pulling all the emotions, plus the editing was TOP TIER! otherwise though a pretty run-of-the-mill episode of svt enjoying themselves, but that's always going to be fun to watch :-)
ranking:
concept: 6.5; pretty chill
chemistry: 8; definitely still feels like early gose (in a good way!)
enjoyment: 6; again run-of-the-mill and i don't see myself rewatching soon
overall - 6.8/10
