What a delight! As someone who loves and yearns to explore the world more, this show served as the perfect bite-sized indulgence for both an Ahgase (GOT7 fans) and travel junkies. So grab some snacks, cast the show on a larger screen (trust me, the full splendor can only be witnessed in HD) and bring some friends who'll die laughing right beside you!

Now that the hype is out of the way, let's get into the nitty gritty shall we?

STORY (Or rather the Concept):
The show had our four Protagonists travel across Thailand in search of seven mini golden tablets, each corresponding to a specific Thai deity in a span of a few days. Very Indiana Jones-y but of course without the troubles and only with minor discomfort (Poor Youngjae xD). The locations were spectacular and awe-inducingly beautiful. There's a reason the country is such a tourist hotspot.

CAST:
One would think an incomplete band would not be as wholesome and enjoyable, but boy would they be wrong! For the first time we see such a ragtag combination of GOT7: Mark, the hyung with his shyness suddenly exhibiting childlike energy (running up a 300 step staircase in a race against the boys), Jinyoung, the cool guy, known for his smarts and calmness, finding himself clueless and helpless in alien surroundings, transforming into a clumsy little cutie, Youngjae, the sunshine, suddenly burdened with the responsibility of being the leader, had to go through a few bouts of rain, and finally the diva and the ever hyper BamBam, who was in an identity crisis most of the time, and admiring himself on billboards for the remainder of it, were really endearing to watch.

The boys had a great rapport among themselves and with comedian Hwang Se Sung, appearing every so often as a set of deities tasked with revealing their missions. The interactions of GOT4 with the locals were also endearing to see.

MUSIC:
Perfect in accompaniment with every scene, and seamlessly moving each episode forward, the music collection (with snippets of GOT7's own songs) was great and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

REWATCH VALUE:
I may be biased, but I could watch this show over and over again without ever getting bored, and always find something new to laugh about. Highly recommended to fans and non-fans, the boys' friendship is so beautiful you'll come to love them and their personalities. :D
