It warms my heart

I love the fact that all the cast sofar try their best to put themselves in the shoes of the original Gabriel and work hard.
I literally cry every time a Gabriel is going back to their lives, its always hard to say goodbye.... I wish they are given a chance to knowingly interact with the person whose life they've been living
Its almost sad that the original Gabriel is lamost completely left out ... Otherwise it's a nice show. ... I hope episode 14 is not the final episode

I dont watch variety shows...

I don't watching variety shows and reality dramas. However, I stumbled upon this on a flight to Korea. Having nothing to do, I gave it a chance because of Park Bo Gum. The show really blew me away! In the end, I ended up watching all the episodes even though I didnt know some of the celebs.

Watching the celebs grapple with sticky situations they had never encountered before, and come up with solutions because they don't want to wreck the real person's life that they've been dropped into. This sentiment comes from a genuine place of sincerity and wanting to do the right thing by another human being. This was true not just of the celeb but also of the family and friends of the 'substituted' person who try to help the celeb. I really appreciated that sentiment and it renewed my faith in humanity. There were hilarious moments, touching moments and just true entertainment from a curiosity angle.

In particular, I really enjoyed getting to know the real personalities behind the celebrities. We often see their onscreen persona but we don't know them at all, and ironically, while they're trying to BE someone else, their own personality shines through as they rely on their innate problem solving, adaptability and previous life experience to power through the 72 hours.

Home is Where Family Is

What is it like to be in a different country living another person's life for 72 hours? Overwhelming, I guess, when every turn you make comes as a surprise. So far, I am loving the show. Park Bogum's experience was absolutely overwhelming that left me in awe because of the emotional roller coaster he felt for the entire 72 hours. Myungsoo's "life" was funny and heart-warming. Of course, there is no place like home but they found a "home" in a country that was unfamiliar to them. Personally, family is most important and this show touched this subject in a different way that you hesitate at first and go with the flow in the next few minutes until you see yourself feeling the way "Garbiel" does. I love it. I hope people get to watch this as well.

Reality Show dengan konsep menjalani kehidupan orang lain selama 72 Jam di negara lain. SERU banget. Ada 14 episode dan banyak nama-nama aktor kondang (((jyahhh, kondang)) di Korsel ikutan. Bahkan episode terakhirnya ada Jennie, wow.

Kehidupan orang yang mereka jalani beragam. Ada yang jadi street musician di Dublin, waitress di Chongqing, Model di Ghana, Penjual somtam di Thailand, Pemanen Blue Agave Plant, Pembuat Wine Kvevri di Georgia.

Nonton ini aku jadi tau budaya dan kebiasaan warlok Negara lain dan ternyata makin takjub bahwa dunia memang seluas itu. Setelah nonton jadi tau kalau OHH Tequilla itu dari Blue Agave Plant atau OHHH WOW Resto Chongqing Hot Pot GUEDE banget di China.
