A true variety show gem
Where do I even begin with this incredible show? To be perfectly honest, all of the current variety shows are becoming a little stale, but this show is like a breath of fresh air. Every minute contains an extremely funny segment that you do not want to miss.The premise of each episode is as follows: the cast must go to several cities in order to capture a rabbit named Torong. Each episode includes a variety of games that the members must complete in order to eat. It's not the most unique idea, but the execution of the games makes the show enjoyable and funny, which is, of course, the most important thing variety shows must have. In my perspective, the best games the four played were the Guess Who game, the Morning Mission Game, and the Shouting in Silence game. But regardless of my favourites, all the games were A LOT of fun to watch, though admittedly it can get pretty repetitive at times.
The cast, imho, is the best part of this show. Usually, at least one person in a variety show fades into the background more frequently than the others in the group. This did not occur here. All four were hilarious and had some terrific individual moments. Their chemistry was evident even during their first meeting. The members' chemistry with Na PD in particular was quite humorous. I came to see Yu Jin, my ultimate bias, but I ended up staying for all four of them :)
Whoever chose the music for this show deserves a raise. They chose catchy and upbeat songs, which fits the vibe of the show. It was also nice to see them use the cast's own songs.
> Oh My Girl's 'Dolphin'
> Young Ji's 'Compromise' and 'Day & Night'
> IVE's 'Love Dive' & 'After LIKE'
I was pleasantly surprised with the song choices because most of them are in my actual playlist I regularly listen to. There were foreign songs that were easily recognizable to me:
> Charlie Puth's 'Left and Right'
> Max Schneider's 'Checklist'
> Wham's 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go'
> Ariana Grande's 'They Don't Know' from the movie 'Trolls'
> Smash Mouth's 'All Star'
> Queen's 'We Are The Champions'
As well as kpop songs that are amazing:
> (G)I-DLE's 'Tomboy'
> Red Velvet's 'Zimzalabim'
> TWICE's 'Alcohol-Free'
> NEW JEANS' 'Attention' & 'Cookie'
There's so many more songs that were used but in conclusion: a really solid lineup of songs.
I'm not much of a re-watcher, but I can definitely see myself watching this again in the future. (Which is quite an accomplishment!)
I'd recommend this show to:
- someone who wants to watch a short variety show because they don't have a lot of time to watch a long-running one
- someone who wants to have their cheeks hurt from laughing and smiling too much
- someone who is a fan of NJTTW
I wouldn't recommend this show to:
- someone who prefers more relaxing and soothing variety shows
A second season is needed!! If a second season is planned, I hope the cast does not change. They're perfect the way they are right now. Overall, one of the best variety shows I have ever watched.
aight byeee~

Best Reality Show of 2022
From the 1st episode, you will be drawn to the humor and chemistry of the cast with the staff. This is the best show to watch when you are bored, tired, or sad. You will start laughing or smiling the moment the episode begins. I love how exciting the challenges were and how crazy the cast was. There is never a dull moment where you want to skip forward. I started watching the show for An Yujin but became a fan of the other cast members. I truly recommend this show to everyone of all ages. You watch many shows and you can tell that it is a business relationship, but with Earth Arcade, they genuinely feel like a family. Outside of the show, they are constantly supporting each other so it is nice to see a bond form from a show.Was this review helpful to you?
Hilarious. Endless laughter!
The funniest group I've ever watched in any region/country. They gave us endless laughter which helped balanced out the hardships we experience on a daily basis.You know the proverb, "laughter is the best medicine". Earth Arcade. with this combination of players, is that medicine.
Hoping to see them again soon and not 12 months later. Thank you hosts. Thank you PD Na. Thank you entire staff.
And I hope you feature the Philippines in Season 3, since it appears you've decided to go to Hawaii in Season 2. ^_^

Laughter...! Just Laughter...!
This is one of the best and most entertaining variety shows I have ever seen. Non-Stop laugher from episode 1. The ladies were brilliantly cast and their energy and professionalism despite their tireness was amazing. It was also a blast seeing the PDs getting poked at and complaining.This is 1 of those great examples of never judging a book at it's cover. The introduction in the beginning was kinda confusing and weird but the moment PD Na and the ladies appeared, the show just came alive.
Well worth the time and attention. 1st time I felt kinda sad knowing it had only 12 episodes. Praying for a season 2.
