'Ppyong Ppyong Earth Arcade 3' took over Friday night with episodes filled with joy, anger, and sorrow.
In the fourth episode of the tvN entertainment program 'Ppyong Ppyong Earth Arcade 3 (directed by Na Young-seok and Park Hyun-yong)', the dynamic chemistry of content treasure trove Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin unfolded, along with an unprecedented situation where Cheolyong was betrayed.
The broadcast recorded an average rating of 3.1% and a peak of 4.2% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 3.1% and a peak of 4.1% nationwide, ranking first in the same time slot including cable and general programming channels. The target audience rating for tvN, men and women aged 20-49, was an average of 2.2% and a peak of 3.3% in the metropolitan area, and an average of 2.5% and a peak of 3.2% nationwide, maintaining the first place for four consecutive weeks across all channels including terrestrial broadcasting.
While training agents in Abu Dhabi, Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin underwent local makeup and made bold transformations for the field investigation day. Lee Eun-ji took on the code name Mariam, Mimi became Aisha, Lee Young-ji was Cassandra, and Ahn Yu-jin was Patra, as they performed situational plays and even dressed in local attire at a shopping mall, transforming into locals.
On the way back to their accommodation after tasting the golden coffee that Torongi had, they provided a unique enjoyment with an AI situational play. 'Youngji GPT' Lee Young-ji showcased her entertainment skills with a realistic tone as if she had swallowed AI, while 'Eunji GPT' and 'Mimi GPT', with their clear settings, also brought joy.
Additionally, Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin heightened the excitement by entering a personal competition in the evening game 'Say It in Order'. In particular, Lee Young-ji, who continued to answer incorrectly alone, was only able to eat after correctly guessing five words that were the same forwards and backwards in the 9th round.
Above all, 'Misa Fan (from the drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You")' Lee Eun-ji and PD Park Jun-young stimulated dopamine by competing in a quiz battle related to 'I'm Sorry, I Love You', with a department store gift certificate on the line. The first to answer three correctly wins, but Lee Eun-ji and PD Park Jun-young soon became immersed in their own world connected by the drama, amplifying the fun.
Meanwhile, during a tie situation of 2 to 2, a high-difficulty question was posed to guess the title of a program featuring interviews with adopted individuals, including the character Cha Mu-hyuk. As Lee Eun-ji and PD Park Jun-young showed a warm companion-like demeanor rather than competition, they were recognized as co-winners if they answered correctly as a team, and they shouted 'I hate Korea' together, achieving a happy ending.
On the next day, when they decided to do desert activities, an incident occurred that brought tension to the relaxed group during breakfast. A message arrived on the Okhwang phone stating that two plane tickets to Lisbon, Portugal, had been purchased using the corporate card of the Jade Emperor that Torongi had brought.
Moreover, through the SNS of Torongi and Cheolyong, it was revealed that the trusted Cheolyong was actually in cahoots with Torongi. To make matters worse, the double agent Cheolyong stole the group's precious laptop, Lee Young-ji's glasses case gifted by Yang Hee-eun, Mimi's slippers, and Ahn Yu-jin's bag, adding to the shock. In response, Lee Young-ji exclaimed, "We need to find Teacher Yang Hee-eun's glasses quickly," and Ahn Yu-jin said, "So that's why you gave us our food quietly?" as they began to run, raising expectations for a full-blown chase.
The story of Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji, and Ahn Yu-jin heading to Portugal to catch Torongi and Cheolyong will continue in the tvN 'Ppyong Ppyong Earth Arcade 3', airing on the 23rd (Friday) at 8:40 PM.
