Enjoyable. Hoping for S2
To be clear I watch variety shows to de-stress. I truly don't care who the guests are or even if there are guests as long as they're fun (or challenging in the case of the mystery/puzzle types) to watch. I found Whenever Possible to be a really fun watch. It reminded me of segments of Running Man before the current production team took over.
I won't say Yoo Jae Suk can't miss because he can, but usually for me when he swings he hits. YJS and Yoo Yeon Suk have good chemistry. They worked together on Busted! so they were familiar with each, therefore, there wasn't any awkward getting to know you moments. I know many have complaints about YYS, but I thought he was fine. He was quite likable. He was the straight man to comedians and the comedic actors who were guests. I think he was finding his footing as a main MC right when the extremely short 8 episode season ended. Almost all the guests for each episode were funny. The standouts for me were Lee Kwang Soo (ep. 1), Cho Jung Suk (ep. 2 - this brought the creation of the Suk Brothers or Suk Suk Suk), and Cha Tae Hyun (ep. 6).
Would I watch it again? The episodes that I found especially funny, yes, I would. To be honest there were 2 episodes that I didn't find funny at all. I may have smiled, but I never laughed. Of the 2. only 1 was a throwaway. The others are solid. The music was good. I was surprised to hear a song by LeeSSang. It gave me false hope that Gary or Gil would be a guest.
Usually I am not a fan of shows or episodes that deal with the public. I tend to find them very boring, but the concept of Whenever Possible made the concept interesting and fun watch. It was a great way to de-stress from work. My only gripe is that the season was too short.
