Yeah, for a show whose greatest strength (and possible greatest weakness) is that it's a hang-out show, it's sort of fitting that its HBV is just more of the same. This show don't really have a different gear, so it's cool that you just get a half-length version of the usual vibes.

I still love that the one guy they got from W from that Zi-O film was the ramen cart guy.

My palette is that of a very small child, so I can't say for sure whether anything from this special is tasty or not. I appreciate hearing what looks good to you!

I mean, that's basically it? It's just Philip against his sister, rather than a larger metaphor or concept. There's an emotional component, but it's not like the two characters were designed to contrast each other or anything.
