NoF Na Young Seok PD “Lee Seung Gi, Overzealous But…”

“It was different from traveling with grandpas.”

Na Young Seok PD told StarNews on November 13, “There was no choice but to be different from GoF. Since I’m also a guy, filming with grandpas was a little more comfortable. Basically, cameras were rolling 24 hours a day, recording every movement, there were a lot of things the women had to be a little more careful about. We had to pay more attention.”

Were there no conflicts? “Everyone was easy-going, and nice to each other. There were no conflicts. I think it’s because of their big age difference. Lee Seung Gi went as the ‘porter’ officially, but Kim Hee Ae and Lee Mi Yeon also ended up as porters, busily running around, asking this and that, and helping Lee Seung Gi.”

How was the new porter Lee Seung Gi? “Lee Seung Gi worked very hard. However, even the youngest noona is 43 years old, and Lee Seung Gi is in his mid 20s. Inevitably, he was a little different from the veteran Lee Seo Jin who’s in his 40s. There were also things that made it harder for Lee Seung Gi as a porter because he was accompanying women instead of grandpas.”

“Oftentimes, Lee Seung Gi’s enthusiasm was a little excessive. In fact, it seems that he was quite bewildered during the first 2~3 days. He was going this way and that way, and he appeared to worry himself a lot. He had a hard time. But toward the latter half of the trip, he got praised by the noonas, and started to settle in. He got a lot of praise at the end of the trip.”

NoF’s broadcast schedule is still not confirmed yet. ‘Reply 1994’ is currently airing in GoF’s time slot, so it’s likely that NoF will take a different time slot. PD Na said, “I still don’t know how the broadcast schedule will turn out.”

Will there be a round 2 of NoF?

“I don’t know yet. It was the same for GoF; we didn’t decide until we saw the response to the first round. If the response is good, then it’s possible to do Round 2. I hope the viewers will love NoF as much as GoF.”

    Na PD, SG is being professional and he takes his ‘porter’ role very seriously. Don’t you remember, SG always take his role very seriously and he goes all out to do his best. 🙂

    We will definitely want Round 2 for NoF, Round 3 and Round 4…… as long as Seung Gi is in it!

  3. Genie says:

    SG is like an adorable younger brother or son to noonas, so watching him working so hard, everyone hopes to do something for him. hope can hear something about the trip or SG from noonas.

    Seunggi definitely will put in all his effort to do the best in every single task given to him…
    That’s SG’s charisma which makes him even more charming besides his good-looking face..
    Glad that although having hard time at the being, glad that in the end, he got praised by his sunbae… I guess, that will pay for his hard work and effort.. Of course if the rating and response is good, then, it would be even better for SG….

    Don’t worry PD Na,.. I am sure that NoF is going to get good response like GoF or even better since SG in there….
    Please air it like the rumours, mid Nov… I can’t wait for it.. The more I read the news and see pictures about NoF, the more impatient I become to watch it..

    (p/s: Btw, just out of curiosity, how old is PD Na? To me, he seems like early or mid 40s, but in first 3 ep of GoF, I keep hear him calling Midae hyung as hyung. So, he should be younger than 43 years old..)

    I want a round 2, of course only if seung gi is still the porter!!:)

  7. Dew says:

    Looking forward to the show. And of course more than one round 🙂

  8. I’ve read the first comments of PD na about Seung Gi in the past post and I was disappointed but in here.. PD NA has redeemed himself. NIce job PD NA. and as for our Seungi Gi we know he did his best… and he showed his best… being the Lee Seung Gi that he is…

  9. ywlovesg says:

    Ahhh… round 2 please!!! And SG being SG should come to SG 🙂

    Well, Lee Seo Jin is much older than Seung Gi so naturally he will be more comfortable in leading the Grandpas.

    Seunggi, on the other hand, must be too cute and working so hard that the noonas will have the “motherly” tender side of them being brought out by his charm… this is totally from the Grandpas, because well being men, they would not have this soft side to them XD

    There’s a difference between men and women after all 🙂

    Ps. SG is Singapore in case you wonder what the third “SG” was referring to ^_~
