Run BTS: 099 | Florists
Original Air Date: 07 AR 2020 Episode Length: 33:04 Total Parts: 1 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol
Synopsis: The members are participating in a floral workshop. They learn a little about their birth flowers and get to craft a couple of projects. Each member will make a boutonniere and one special arrangement, chosen by drawing papers.
Production: They still haven't fixed their framing issues for international audiences. Needing to have subtitles on means you'll spend quite a bit of the episode not seeing what the members are working on or showcasing. Definitely a shame. The set is just on the borderline of too small. This episode can feel slightly stagnant just because there's really only two angles. I get why they set the tables the way they did but there's a ton of wasted space taking up a quarter of the frame and then the guys have to squash around eachother.
Endearment: I know these craft episodes usually don't get talked about as much because their not as action-packed as the game ones but frankly, that's why I love them so much. It's just an opportunity to chill with the members while they get engrossed in a little project.
Winner/Loser: none
Best Cheater: None
Member Moments:
RM: Clematis=Noble Heart. Awww the members saying they can picture Namjoon doing this when he's old. I'm so endeared.
JN: Rumex=Affection. This episode is a great example of Jin being his extra self
YG: Larch=?? I didn't catch what the meaning was. Wait, Yoongi really didn't know what a wreath was??
JH: Buttercup=Naivety. Why am I not surprised that one of the very first things said is a comment about how we won't be able to tell the members apart from the flowers.
JM: Spiraea=elegant love. The iconic moment when everyone else is telling Jimin about the Serendipity bubble and it seems like he has no clue. Bless your pure little heart Jimin.
V: Wintersweet=Self-love. Not Tae giving me flashbacks to the pottery episode by breaking his flower boutonniere.
JK: Tiger Flower=Please love me. Wait JK made two boutonnieres. You can see the other one briefly but they never talk about it.
Bonus Content: The members really were enamored with their teacher!
