But when I opened the lid, it was different from what I expected. Lee Seung-gi and Jung So-min showed enthusiasm for children's psychological counselors and Lee Seo-jin was enthusiastic enough to get a certificate of child cooking instructor, but it did not help much in practice. It is because it is never easy for four unmarried men and women to take care of five to eight preschoolers aged 4 to 7 for one night and two days at a time.
In the end, YG Entertainment intentions only fit in half. It was successful in creating a new kids' garden, such as playing mud with children who could not step on the soil because they were afraid of getting dirty, and completing the interior of the cabin on the tree with natural materials, but it became more and more distant from the relaxed healing. If you take your eyes off for a while, you can not see it easily because of the situation of chest pain such as eating corn, tooth dropping, and thorns being stabbed in your feet.
It also overlooked the fact that the core of parenting entertainment is 'growth'. The role of children appearing in the parenting entertainment is absolute, like KBS2 Superman Returns, which has recovered 15% TV viewer ratings in four years since 2015 thanks to the popularity of soccer player Park Joo-ho, daughter Naeun and son Gun-ho. It is because watching the children grow up rather than the fathers' poisonous parenting gives a bigger fun.
On the other hand, Little Forest chose to add one or two Little Lees during shooting five times for one night and two days. In a situation where the cast and children who are acting as agents did not communicate enough, they put in a new child to create an uncomfortable situation for both children and adults. After all, TV viewer ratings, which started with 6.8% (based on Nielsen Korea) in the first time, halved from 5.5% to 3.5%, which included the first farewell and the second meeting with the children.
It seems that it is criticized as a complacent YG Entertainment based on star performers and box office codes. Lee Seo-jin, Lee Seung-gi and Park Na-rae were gathered together, but there was little synergy. Lee Seung-gi's excessive concentration of roles in one person is also a factor of fatigue. His responsibility is as heavy as Kim Jung-wook PD, who said, "The stories that I shared with the deacon's unit have become the seed," or Lee Seo-jin, who said, "Sunggi will do everything and please join me." It is regrettable that the people struggle alone from the 'spokesperson' responsible for the children's urine to the 'woodworks' that make large and small furniture.
“Lee Seung-gi has the ability to be a singer, actor and entertainer, but it feels similar to me everywhere, so it is not easy to differentiate when he comes to the front of the program,” said Jeong Duk-hyun, a pop culture critic. “Lee Seo-jin and Park Na-rae, who are each imprinted in a rough or hairy aspect through various entertainment programs, also give the program the inconvenience of wearing clothes that do not fit in the program,” he added. “It is a pity that casting and composition that fit the program concept have not been achieved to ensure diversity.”
TV viewer ratings are low even if the cast of 'Little Forest'
