‘Three Meals’ opener a hit
The second season of the popular reality TV show “Three Meals a Day: Fishing Village” kicked off on Friday, and the first episode earned a 13.9 percent viewership, the highest among all shows that aired in the same time slot across cable and the three major broadcasters, KBS, MBC and SBS.The reality TV show set in a remote fishing village first aired in January. Although it is a spinoff of the original series “Three Meals a Day: Jeongseon,” the spinoff featuring actors Cha Seung-won and Yoo Hae-jin is more popular than the original. In the reality show, the two actors struggle to feed themselves.
The reality TV show is a brainchild of star producer Na Young-seok, who created hit reality TV shows, including “Grandpas over Flowers,” in which actors in their 70s and 80s go backpacking overseas.
Park Hyung-sik, a member of the K-pop boy band ZE:A, joined the first episode as a guest.
