Discuss Episode 414 - A Hard Day - Battle for the Box special![]() Will you hit the jackpot or end up with nothing? You are at a crossroads! The battle of open the box and secure the bonus money inside! Infinity Challenge <A Hard Day - Battle for the Box> # The Bonus In January The members have been given a large box. Inside this box is some special bonus money prepared by the staff in celebration of their 10th anniversary. They have no idea how many boxes are contained within the box but their bonus goes Up! Up! every time they open a box. However since the other members will be the ones paying out the bonus, as the bonus money goes up each time they open the boxes, the debt that the other non-winning members have will increase as well. And lastly...the moment they open the very last box, all their bonuses vanish into thin air! Despite this, the members are lured by the promise of a substantial bonus! They battle to see who opens the first box! Who will win the first bonus? ![]() # You either open it or you lose it The battle between the one with the box and the people chasing after it. As they bonus increases with each box they open, their greed also increases as well! They all begin to use all sorts of tricks to get up on top. Some even perform a sleight of hand and switch it out with fake boxes. They pause for a quiet lunch but it doesn't stay quiet for long. The great battle of the Namsan Pork Cutlets, as betrayal and disaster befalls them all. Some even escape into the subway to avoid the GPS tracker while others get into an alliance with citizens to hide themselves Their joy of opening the box and winning the bonus money is only a brief sense of joy. If they want even more money then they can't let their guard down for even a second! A bromance blossoms amongst the battles, the couple being Myung Soo and Jae Suk. Jun Ha and Hyung Don struggle between suspicion and trust. Haha on the other hand dreams of romanticist pursuit battle The 5 members have caught the money bug! Whether they open the box and win the bonus, or whether their debt increases amongst the battles. One will laugh while the others will cry in this box opening battle! <A Hard Day!> Source http://www.imbc.com/broad/tv/ent/challenge/vod/index.html |

I've watched the raw version on http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2gmu9k and seems like this episode doesn't have any relationship with show me the debt (show me the bit ka) completely new episode~

Overall a very good episode, but I don't like the use of real-time GPS tracking in this episode as it makes life very difficult for the one holding the box. It didn't give the box-holder a much-needed breathing space to strategize and conspire. Look at Junha, he used his head and utilized a fake-box strategy, but that was all for naught. Look at Myungsoo, whose location were found out almost immediately by the member. Thank God that Haha finally spiced things up when he decided to go underground to block the damned GPS. Yes, I know that the use of GPS will progress the chase to be more quick-paced. But, rather than real-time tracking device, I think next time the producer should give the member a delayed or intervalized tracking device, a 3-minutes or 5-minutes interval will be nice. Or, they could give the member a less accurate tracking device, a 500-meter to 1-kilo radius will be enough. |

I think the GPS is a necessary evil, especially if the staff had no intentions of limiting the member's degree of freedom. The fact they were allowed to use a taxi with no obvious budget limit meant that they could have easily just buggered off to Busan or something if they wanted to and there would be no way to track them. Obviously the members would be more professional than that but I feel like the GPS was a reasonable trade off for allowing the members absolute freedom to go wherever they want. As for why they couldn't just give a less accurate tracking device, well I guess that is an option as well or do something like the "helper" thing they had awhile ago in the Hide and Seek episode (http://dddfanclub.com/topic/8803446/1/#new). So don't give them actual locations but allow them to receive photos of the box and the background of the location it is in. It would then become a big game of "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago~" A 500m~1km radius GPS is effectively just telling them nothing given how densely packed Seoul is. 500m could easily be the next two suburbs out. Think of it this way, a 500m radius centered on Yeouido would effectively cover the whole island plus both sides of the river. If the goal of the GPS was to keep the game moving and the boxes switching places then it wouldn't really be effective. Besides, just finding the box and opening it isn't the main goal anyway. There is a hard limit on how many times they can open the box (Which is a secret) and they are allowed to end the game whenever they want if they all agree to it. Even if they find the box easily, they still need to decide if it's safe to open the box (i.e. this isn't the last box) or to negotiate a cease fire. I feel like TEO PD was trying to focus more on these mind games then the outright "Find box and steal it" metagame, in which case having the GPS just allows the members to meet each other more often to play said mind games. |

I love how they played out the game, tho. There were no sense of void which i was expecting because of Hongchul's absence. May be because the competition was tight and no obvious wit hegemony by one member lol. But yeah, it would've been better if Hong Chul was there for his twists. But i like this episode nonetheless :3 |

I, like many others have commented, did pine for NHC while watching this special. But as I thought about it more, I guessed what I missed more was the number of members participating in the game. We are used to pursuit games with 7 members, now this is the first one with 5. There's less rotations and possible pairings with a smaller pool of people playing. IMO 6 members really is the best number for IC, and I miss NHC more because of that, not entirely because of his character and what he brings, but having 6 members feels complete because everyone can be paired up. I wasn't left in these thoughts for long though, as I was thoroughly engrossed in the episode. Although I find it hard to believe that the members will be made to pay up their debts, it was a brilliant and funny twist compared to a cash reward for the winner. Plenty of memorable, incidental moments in this one as well. Nevertheless, I hope that NHC does make a return somehow, someday. There has been a few moments where the members have mentioned him comically as 'the punk', whereas I do not recall any mention for Gil after his incident, and that makes me hopeful. IC has been doing well without NHC, but he brings a kind of energy when he 's around, even though it's not always tasteful, it's something I miss. Can't wait for the second part ~ |
