If you like Amazing Race, you will like this :)
My hubby and I completed all 8 episodes today, with our faces smiling wide at the last episode.To give a short intro, the two celebs are Jasper Liu (Taiwanese) and Lee Seung Gi (S Korean). Both are them are literally like duck and chicken as they arent fluent with each other's languages, so they converse in a mix of Mandarin/Korean and English.
The premise of the show is for the two guys to travel to different places in Asia to meet some of their lucky fans. But, before they are able to meet the particular fan in one location, they have to undergo various missions to gather clues which will allow them to get to their fan's house. Sounds easy enough, but obviously, things arent easy at all...in fact, it is quite Amazing Race like :)
It is really interesting to see them start off awkwardly as fellow travellers, see them bonding thru thick and thin, bromance and rivalry, and then ending as travelling brothers and good friends towards the end of the show.
If you are into food, travel, stunning visuals and filmography which center around our Asian celeb travelers (first timers most times in the different locations), then you should watch this show. I especially love the segments where the show's missions require the two celebs to interact with the locals (and international tourists as well).

Adding this series to his list of great work is such great accomplishment for him.
Jasper on the other hand looks like a really nice guy with great personality. It's my first time seeing him but i started to be a fan and will definitely look for his dramas.
This show is so much fan to watch and the way they spend the day together though sometimes language gets in the way, is really amazing and exciting. The rush through the challenges and the excitement in getting the time or beating the time to meet the fan: It's amazing.
They can be bestfriends for sure. Each of them are learning from each other. Weather its the language or each others personal life.
This show is a great tool or flatform to be close to their fans.. I envy those who they visited. Given a chance.. I would love to be visited too!!!

Just 2 Bros completeing Missions and Meeting Fans.
I saw this on Netflix and thought why not watch it. As someone who is new to watching Korean and Taiwanese drama's, I am quite selective with the dramas I do watch and unfortunately haven't watched a Lee Seunggi show or a Jasper Liu show.This was such fun to watch and it automatically made me a fan of both guys, I've never even watched a show with either of them but now it's high up on my priority list to watch a Seunggi drama and a Jasper drama.
Seeing them grow as friends throughout the show was such fun to watch and you can see them go from just being friends to being like brothers to each other.
In an episode where they put against each other, it was hilarious to watch them both try and cheat against each other and throughout the show, Seunggi as a veteran Variety Show person is guiding Jasper and teaching him tricks and just the friendship between them is amazingly cute.
Did I know I needed this in my life? No.
Am I happy I've watched it? Yes.
Would I rewatch it? Absolutely.

Fun, hilarious and family friendly travel reality show directed by Running Man director
See two fun-loving, hilarious and charming hosts, a reality veteran from S Korea (Lee Seung Gi) and a reality newbie from Taiwan (Jasper Liu), travelling around Asia covering exotic destinations in Indonesia (Yogyakarta, Bali), Thailand (Bangkok, Chiang Mai) and Nepal (Pokhara, Kathmandu). Witness their friendship blossoming from mere strangers who speak different languages, to fast friends and best brothers with sizzling chemistry, as they travelled Amazing Race style to various local attractions (recommended by their local fans) and supported each other to complete the tasks at each location to get map clues (to locate and meet their fans, who provided the locations to visit).The fun and hilarious antics, banters and interactions of Lee Seung Gi and Jasper Liu, competing with the locals on their local sports/games at their local turfs, and also competing against and cheating on each other when the game was turned for the two hosts to compete with each other, provide instant comedic relief to the pent-up desire to travel, adventure and hang out with friends.
I have visited 5 out of the 6 regions, less Chiang Mai, but still discover new and interesting places to visit in those regions, such as the waterfall cave inside an abyss in Yogya (episode 1)
Be awesomely entertained by Twogether, directed by Cho Hye Jin, one of the first Running Man directors, and re-spark that zest to travel again now that borders are opening up post-pandemic.
While mainly in Korean language with some spoken Mandarin (Jasper is a Taiwanese), this is subbed in English and easily accessible on Netflix.

Melhor programa de entretenimento
Esse programa tem tudo.Bons atores, diversão, lindas paisagens. Todo episódio queria viajar rsrs...
Os lugares que eles visitaram cada um melhor que o outro e o legal foi que conhecemos mais da cultura. Eles visitam alguns fãs e óbvio que morri de inveja rsrs...
Jasper e Seung que dupla maravilhosa, eles são divertidos, parceiros. Os dois abraçaram demais o projeto e tiveram momentos preciosos juntos. Sempre que lembro desse programa queria que tivesse outra temporada com os dois,
Divertido, envolvente e maravilhoso.

Charming
This show kept me smiling all the way. Jasper is so innocent. Lee Seung-gi Is so naughty. Love the way the two interacted and started to take on each other’s mannerisms.A nice relaxing show, with beautiful scenery. Also got to learn a lot about the places they vistied. Both of them truly appreciate the places the fans suggested fir them and They truly care about seeing their fans. Two of my favorite celebrities.
It’s nice to see them actually being themselves and not acting. Refreshing and worth the whatch.

OMG this is a super funny variety show!!!!
I am a big fan of Jasper Liu and I didn’t know anything about the Korean partner in crime *O*, but this is such a fun show that anyone can enjoy. I just keep laughing over and over at each episode.Not only I enjoyed seeing Jasper without acting, what I meant is I was able to see how he was like while not acting. I like him more than before bcoz he is naturally sweet and fun to be around.
These two actors, one is from Taiwan and one is from Korea, were such a great team to go through the trips and wondered around the South Asia to discover palaces and meet people.
I wish we have more this type of shows in the future.

I loved this show so much and I wish more people watch it :D
My absolute favorite variety show I had no expectations for this and watched it because they are great actors and people. BUT I don't understand how it was so so good I didn't want to finish it cus I love this and them so much :( I didnt really pay attention to either of them before . After I started following them on social media and watch some of their content and pay attention. I like both of them so much! :,)Their chemisty together was so cute and amazing and their teamwork was too. The song they made together was perfect. I love that they went to see their fans and got to know different cultures around Asia and we got introduced to it too. Also I liked how much they had fun with the director and Seung-gi teased him alot :D I wish this show was longer though..
Anyway I wish I could forget this whenever I want and watch it again over and over again. I wish they film season 2 and Jasper can bring Seung gi to Taipei like he wanted and meet fans there :) <3

Nice
I really loved this show. Although I don't watch variety shows often, I genuinely enjoyed this and was very glad that I stumbled upon it. The idea of the actors going through different challenges while exploring a new place and culture recommended by fans which they got to meet by the end of trip was different and nice.Jasper and Seunggi are two different personalities that do combine very well together. Jasper is usually more calm while Seunggi is more chaotic. Although both speak different languages, they try to learn from each other and understand some words which made the show more entertaining. My favourite part was when they were Thailand and were messing with each other, it was really nice to see the two interact and show off the skills they have.
Overall, it's a great show. I'll definitely look more into Jasper's and Seunggi's dramas/shows they star in and watch them hahaha. It has become one of my favourites and if there is a season 2, I'll definitely watch it.

Kendala bahasa yang aku khawatirin di awal ternyata malah jadi lucu. Mereka ini bahasa inggrisnya ngga lancar, lalu suka ngomong sendiri-sendiri pakai bahasa korea atau mandarin tapi saling ngerti. Kagum sama skill komunikasi Seung Gi yang cepet akrab sama orang lain. Interaksi mereka sama warga lokal seru banget, ngga ada canggung sama sekali. Dari main sepak takraw di kampus Chiang Mai, badminton di alun-alun selatan Yogyakarta sampai main karambol di kuil barahi Pokhara.
Daripada scene ketemu penggemar, lebih tertarik nonton misi-misi yang diberikan untuk mereka. Ngga heran karena staff Running Man turut andil dalam produksi acara ini. Misi favoritku adalah mencari sebuah kata di sela-sela suara tari kecak di Garuda Wisnu Kencana. Episode favorit dan paling ngakak di Thailand sik.

Fantastic Travel Show!
What an interesting and exciting idea!!! Lee Seung Gi and Jasper Liu worked so well together despite not being friends. But I can see how much they grew closer to one another as the episodes go by. They both have their strengths and skills and it's so much fun to watch them be themselves and tackle different missions to meet their fans.Yogyakarta and Bali - I miss going to the beach! Bali looks so refreshing and sunny! Yogyakarta, on the other hand looks adventurous with the cave and the long river! Also loved them playing badminton with locals and doing the couples yoga!
Bangkok and Changmai - Loved the games they played with various people to earn their dinner and the exciting game of sepak takraw. I didn't realize that big stars can also get nervous when performing in front of a crowd but they both did a great job! Changmai trip was different coz the two guys had to compete with each other to meet the fan. I think Seunggi wasnt a bad player/cheater. I think even among us friends we would do the same to get ahead. And Seunggi was so brave to jump off the 50ft cliff like it was nothing!
Pokhara and Kathmandu - the trip to Annapurna was majestic! I also loved them playing the traditional Nepalese game with the locals. Despite the language barrier, you can see how much they also had fun playing the game.
All the fans really loved Lee Seung Gi and Jasper and it felt so heartwarming for them to meet their idols. How nice they both are in treating their fans and appreciate the support and love from them.
Definitely want season 2!!

Comedy Filled, Heartwarming Adventure
Travel shows and variety shows are one in a million. There are easily a million of them. However, Twogether creates a unique experience combining South Korean variety and your typical travel program to invent something new. The addition of the time limiting missions, with an incentive to meet fans in countries celebrities like Lee Seung Gi and Jasper Liu would usually never go to for fan meets and concerts is a great way for not only them to get to see and visit new countries and experience new cultures, but is also great for the fans.Seung Gi and Jasper also make a great duo. Their chemistry is just too great. They are hilarious and get along well, that I wonder if they keep in touch outside of the program. I'm a fan of both of them, so it was also great to see them both in one show together and I was surprised that they were able to get along as well as they did as opposed to just seeing it as another co-worker.
As COVID-19 rages on while I was watching this, it's a reminder to enjoy the beauty and nature of the outside world and to appreciate cultures that are not your own, not to mention a way to see the world as most of us are still in some state of lockdown. This show is so great and it ended so bittersweet. I hope that they continue this program - eight episodes just was not enough, and that's it's only downside - either with these two or they try the format with different celebrities. I would highly recommend anyone to watch this whether you're a fan of Seung Gi, Jasper, both, or neither. It's a great program and you'll definitely be laughing throughout.
