Are You Sure?! Episode 5 review
In Episode 5 of Are You Sure?!, BTS’ Jimin, V, and Jungkook bring their Jeju adventure to a close with a delightful mix of tranquility and hilarity. Following an eventful yacht ride in the previous episode, the trio indulges in a mouth-watering dinner of grilled meat and soju, prepared by Jungkook. Jimin’s casual mention of their then-impending military enlistment serves as a reminder of the ticking clock, making their time together all the more precious.
As they feast, their conversation takes fans into nostalgia as the trio reminisces about their years together, their evolving looks. The insights on military life shared by Jin and J-Hope, their playful banter about shaved heads, and their wish for a sequel, to the show amusingly suggested to title We Weren’t Sure by Jimin, capture their earnest desire to share their experiences and stories as closely as possible. If it comes true, this sequel’s concept humorously hints at their post-military adventures, promising more laughs and insightful stories.
The episode shines as the trio continues to savor Jeju’s offerings. Jimin’s heartwarming interaction with a stray cat and Jungkook’s playful run with a pet dog highlight their easygoing nature. They even get to enjoy V’s ballad collection on their way back, setting a mellow tone for the rest of the episode.
Upon returning home, the group dives into some water fun. Their playful pool activities, ranging from water gun fights to underwater rock-paper-scissors, perfectly encapsulate their unfiltered joy and boundless energy when together. A brief realization of their approaching 30th birthdays adds a touch of introspection, contrasting their otherwise carefree day.
The following morning comes slow, while Jimin and Jungkook are deep in sleep, V wakes up early for a workout, setting the stage for their first meal of the day: samgyeopsal, or grilled black pork. The scene at the restaurant is filled with light-hearted moments as Jimin and Jungkook playfully borrow V’s cap and glasses, eagerly awaiting their food. A humorous bickering over whether they are eating sliced sausage or pink ham leads to a funny revelation and a dash of spicy chili pepper that nearly tears up Jimin.
In the evening, the trio winds up with the beef shank stew prepared by Jungkook with their crew and staff showing a heartwarming camadire not just among the members but the entire BTS team. Their time on the island wraps up with a fulfilling sense of closure, encapsulating the essence of their friendship and the memorable experiences they shared. In conclusion, episode 5 is a perfect blend of fun, relaxation, and genuine moments, making it a slow yet standout in their travel series.
