Bros on Foot (2023)

Short, super-wholesome, and a good team in front of and behind the camera

Full disclosure: I normally don't watch variety shows but I watched this because Yeo Jin-goo is in it. But by the end I was charmed by all the participants in this cooperative reality show: Ha Jung-woo, Joo Ji-hoon, and MINHO too. There were a lot of touching moments of bromance as well as mentorship from the older actors (Jung-woo and Ji-hoon) to the younger ones.

The crew also really set the cast up for success. When their initial ideas for the formula of, e.g., the variety show challenges didn't work out so well, they made changes on the fly and took lessons learned to get it to work out next time. Everyone had good humor and was flexible. You can tell everyone involved was trying to make it a good experience for each other (so different from American reality shows).

Also if you are a big fan of any of the cast members, you will learn a lot about them, their attitudes, and their histories from this show, so it's good to watch for that reason alone.

NZ is the true star - the entertainers are an added BONUS!

A reality TV show with famous Koreans discovering New Zealand in a different kind of style like a road trip.

Wish I had been there with all of them only I would have participated in the most laziest
tasks as possible and avoided any cooking whatsoever or doing dishes.

7 days just wasn't enough I reckon!

Must have been freezing cold for them and a budget of NZ$26 for the first night to feed 4 grown men must have been a shock to the system.

New Zealand is so breathtakingly beautiful even when it rains.

Have to say it was enjoyable watching them and their short adventure as first timers to the land of the long white cloud, but it is a shame they wanted Korean hot sauces or spices on just about everything!

I found it a bit slow in parts and the cooking by them had more camera time than New Zealand and it's nature or even other tourists - even locals.

It was actually the youngest two that were familiar to me and to an extent the older one that could take bicycling off his bucket list.

There is one scene where a woman passing by on the trek asks if they are "famous or something" and one of the older one answers back arrogantly with something like "maybe famous*

I really hope the younger two DON'T TAKE ON BEING ARROGANT or RUDE LIKE THAT because it is offensive and wrong.

I don't appreciate that kind of arrogance and uppity attitude at all.

This may explain why both the older ones are probably single or travel quite a bit with one another all the time.

What female would want to be with someone like that!!!

Other than that great teamwork, humour, attitudes and bromances.

For entertainment purposes only and an ideal way to see New Zealand.
