What a view | In Twogether on Netflix, Jasper Liu and Lee Seung-gi take a tour of Asia

It would be absurd to suggest the creators of Twogether (Netflix) pitched the series as a nostalgia show, but that’s the bracket this lighthearted jaunt through a host of notable tourist traps sometimes seems to occupy.

Twogether sends a pair of the Asian entertainment world’s brightest young things – actor-singer-musicians Jasper Liu Yi-hao of Taiwan and South Korea’s Lee Seung-gi – on a joint mission to make a travelogue that’s not sure if it’s a reality show, and a reality show that’s not sure if it’s some sort of Candid Camera spoof.

Sidestepping the cringingly awful title, which must have required a farm’s worth of cheese to dream up, the show sends our intrepid heroes out into the world to face that most terrifying of responsibilities: meeting their fans.

Caught in a cross between The Amazing Race and Mr Bean’s Holiday, Liu and Lee – lampooned by their producers as the Clumsy Brothers – must find a fan in each location, the devotee in question having previously set them an itinerary of hotspots to visit. But they must also perform various tasks, solve riddles and piece together clues before they can find the fan and move on to the next in a long list of destinations. And they must manage their own spending money, a particularly tricky task.

Liu and Lee are such clean-cut, well-scrubbed role models that even when they’re caught off guard there’s never any danger of their doing anything embarrassing. With no bad habits or harsh words, Twogether can feel like reality-lite, but a genuine friendship grows between the two stars, who were effectively strangers when beginning their adventure, having met only once before, at a pre-show Seoul summit.
