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.
