On paper, this demographic seemed assured. But since the show disregarded its core concepts of work ethic and independence, this demographic that the show worked to attract was largely alienated. The program was promising a similar set of dynamics as the original but with a new cast, new setting, and a new set of rules. They were expecting similar results, but ended up falling and having an impossibly difficult time mirroring the momentum of its former. Delayed changes to the format were done to no avail.
But even that fell through for the show when it was plagued with absences from the main cast. Due to the very demanding and tiresome schedules of the idol cast, the girls came to miss entire episodes, leaving up to as little as two members to run the show. This not only jeopardized the group dynamics, it further discouraged bonding.
But its ultimate demise also hinges heavily on its occasional over-reliance on guests. While the original G7 also had their fair share of absences in the original, their absences were never that much jarring since other girls roped it for other filler tasks.
Since the girls were hardly tasked on this show, absences felt especially prominent, making the atmosphere even emptier. Moreover, due to promotions, scheduling conflicts, or decisions from the scriptmakers, some of the cast eventually opted to leave the show permanently. At first it was Amber , Woori , Lee Su-geun , and Ji Hyun-woo to take their leave, and eventually they were followed by the departure of Sunny.
The original G8 got slimmed down to a G5, and only one of the three original MCs remained. And this is a clear shame, since the show actually — eventually — ended up improving. She gave the show and the cast the maternal guidance it so desperately lacked with the former exclusively male set of MCs.
The second improvement came when the girls actually started doing their own work when the weather started heating up again. Previously, due to their shooting location being a fishing village, the girls were largely dependent on local fishermen to do their winter tasks at sea, disregarding the entire independence concept of the show. However, when the cold lifted, the girls eventually started to learn how to farm, finally busying themselves with some actual work.
While completely different from the original concept of Invincible Youth , it gave the girls goals to work toward, which defeated the constant meandering. The last improvement came through the inclusion of Lee Young-ja as MC, further helping the dynamic through her maternal role to the cast. Her dynamic with Kim Shin-young and the girls definitely helped enhance the show somewhat, actually temporarily raising ratings once again for the show for the first time in a long while.
But while these improvements gave Invincible Youth 2 , the push towards being a salvageable show — though still no where near the caliber of its precedent — these changes came much too late. Nevertheless, despite all the aforementioned shortcomings, Invincible Youth 2 did have its strengths. It helped give the spotlight to Hyoyeon, Jiyoung , and albeit temporarily Amber — members who are often overlooked in their own groups.
And lastly, it introduced us to the ever-optimistic Yewon , who I call the saving grace of the variety show.
