[@Kik0o_]

The owner switch from "I was thinking how can I torture costumers" to "I absolutely HATE spicy food!" is peak 😂

[@joshhu02]

it feels like the spiritual successor to worth it, and instead of the premise of worth it, it's like you took all the bonus in between moments from worth it, and turned it into a show!

[@fireballs7346]

and its trash as always

[@0beset0ads]

@@fireballs7346 why are you so full of hate man if you dont liek you dont gotta go to the comments and engage with the content

[@hersheybarsam]

Seeing an OG Korean Englishmen video at the beginning is such a treat!! I love Josh and Ollie. 🩷 Loving this show.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

I was surprised they didn't get them on the episode.

[@massemy2275]

@@harvestmoon_autumnsky maybe cuz they are currently staying at UK (maybe) and Josh cannot separate from pregnant gabbie though. But hey, who knows we can see collabs in the future

[@karateman302]

@@massemy2275 They have collaborated in the past. When Jolly was in LA, they actually did a collab on this channel eating increasingly spicy fried chicken sandwiches as well as at least one Jolly video where members of Watcher appeared. It would have been perfect if the two of them were able to participate in this as a spiritual successor to that video but they probably couldn't for the reasons you mentioned.

[@KoraRubin]

It's the OG Spicey Noodles Challenge video. I'm amazed, they remembered the beginning.

[@Char_LotteT]

I believe the final Donkas dish was also featured in Koreanenglishman when Josh and Dan challenged the giant Donkas and Joel took on the spicy 1! Such good times 😂

[@maisyjayne2466]

Shane’s ad skit was top tier icl

[@Fireproofwitchnz]

That was so funny 😂😂

[@fromnaras]

certified it-girl

[@mygirl737g2]

i watched the whole ad - more of that plz

[@watcher]

shoutout to Kat Hartman who is the creative mastermind behind this and many of Watcher's ads!

[@Fireproofwitchnz]

@mygirl737g2 if that was a regular character, I'd love it so much. Imagine ghost hunting with Shane the airline host 🤣🤣

[@KillerTacos54]

Steven being absolutely ballistic during the last segment vs completely chill and harmonious Andrew was a hilarious dichotomy

[@emem7788]

that's a standard 😂❤

[@cattlin6957]

MVP is the owner who wants to torture people through spice

[@watcher]

Love the hustle and dedication

[@rin427]

we need the lore behind the reason WHY he wants to torture his customers

[@ex2katana]

@@rin427 He works in food service, what more reason does he need to want to torture customers?

[@claudiazg9932]

@@rin427 he basically says he can't tell off costumers, so this is his revenge

[@littlefirecracker1289]

I was looking for this comment😂 him saying he hates spice, cannot eat a third of a hot pepper and does this to torture his clients is hilarious😂😂😂

[@cursedepub]

NOT STEVEN GOING "I AM NOT MY FEAR .... I GET WHY RYAN DOES THIS NOW" 😭 i admit episode 1 was a bit hard for me to get into but as a spice enjoyer this one was a lot more interesting to me. the owner at the end chuckling in the back while steven suffered was really something. he was real about how he wants to torture customers.

[@imaginesagi]

Love that it wasn’t only eating at restaurants. Seeing the sites, taking a cooking class and even eating homemade treats was a well rounded trip! Looking forward to more Travel Season episodes 🙌🏾

[@rin427]

Love love love how EVERYONE, even the native koreans struggled so hard and the token foreigners were unfazed

[@JudithLight84]

Adam eating the spicy dish so nonchalantly and giving Steven the condescending “Seriously?” look is just gold 😂😂😂

[@umbrellathorn]

for some reason I find such a delight in watching Steven overestimate his spice tolerance, he’s always so quick to be like that was a mistake, and doesn’t take himself too seriously. Love the show!

[@beas.5629]

I knew adam could do it because I remember him eating the whole plate of hot "poltergeist" fried chicken when steven promised him a thousand cinnamon buns if he finished it 😂

[@seewonlee4096]

i love the completely different pacing of these videos compared to other watcher videos but oh my god did it not prepare me for the shane wig jumpscare

[@ManEatingTeddyBear]

lmao @ Junho being like "He's trolling you" then cut to almost everyone in pain

[@eileenchen2313]

love the coloring, pacing, and documentary style aspect to the show. definitely see why people use to buzzfeed-style viral content might not enjoy it as much, but for me it reminds me of old-school style longform travel youtube videos that have disappeared from the platform. i hope the creators aren't disappointed in the lower view count right now. they definitely took a risk in departing from the usual formula but i (and this comment section it seems!) feel like this is so delightful. a warm bowl of stew to heat up the soul.

[@ahub87]

I made the loudest snort at “my mistress - the sea”

[@missbrillante]

The owner at the end is who I aspire to be as someone who rarely eats spicy too 😭

[@cvcpharmacy4092]

Bring back the interviews with the chef/owner I always really enjoyed when they gave their input on the food it helped us understand the dish more.

[@fromnaras]

Andrew: palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy Also Andrew: it's not that bad lol

[@finiono]

Is no one talking about the GENIUS of just putting a plate in a bag so you don’t have to wash the dish!!!!!!

[@jshane185]

Literally came to the comments to see if anyone thought the same 🤣

[@eddiester]

yeah so good for the environment

[@pacifisht9797]

This is my first episode of Travel Season and it delivered on my expectations and then some! I really enjoyed learning the Korean history and terms for the food, seeing the photos taken throughout the trip and getting introduced to local spots! I also of course loved watching Andrew and Steven enjoy the food and talk about it. I can clearly tell this show was made with a specific vision and the enthusiasm, hard work, and love for the food really shine through. Shout out to the Watcher team for making such a fun and beautiful show.

[@watcher]

Thank you

[@bubbe4209]

21:24 Steven reciting the "I'm not my fear" mantra counts as a point for the boogaras!!!!!!!!

[@pacifisht9797]

So cool to see Johnny guest star! I love his fermentation content and he is the perfect creator to share a meal with the boys!

[@jason_22282]

Andrew’s enunciation of Korean words was nearly flawless. Kudos, sir. 👏❤️

[@JessicaGuzman-u1d]

Brittney crying lmaoo poor girl 😭😂

[@watcher]

Praying for her

[@pinkwizards]

Obsessed with this series so far. It’s like a more travel or culture-oriented version of “worth it”

[@raya_mahes]

so so happy you guys are doing this ,, worth it got me through all of college THANK YOU for continuing to share your passion and love for food ❤️❤️

[@elizam9652]

Glad you're still here on KZbin 😊

[@mareneaufrance5096]

I loved that Adam was getting the hiccups from his big bites of food.

[@1will2kill]

❤ Adam

[@bhnthunder]

Certain types of chilli also invoke a strong hiccup reaction from certain people

[@macgyverurie]

i love the intro, it makes the show feel so familiar and comforting

Shoutout to Adam and Annie for the awesome shots and Andrew for this beautiful edit! The kimchi museum and class were so cool. The feature with Johnny was unexpected, but welcomed and so cool! I feel like the spice challenge near the end just goes to show who can hide their pain loooool.

[@Cinnamonhopeful]

Easily becoming a comfort show ✨

[@Whatlander]

I love the idea of Steven's mother in law being like, "Yeahhhh, you're gonna need this." Also: TTEOK-BOKKI SIGHTED

[@Whatlander]

Laughing at how you just KNOW from that little " _almost_ anybody can" from Andrew that Steven is about to be embarrassed lmao. True friendship.

[@mckenzieneve4258]

I love the taking pictures with the vintage cameras! those photos have such a unique, nostalgic look.

[@nathanluong2981]

I absolutely adore this format - everything about it makes for such lovely content

[@anelrogentin4701]

There is no better Crew for videos than these guys. Adam included love watching your videos since years no matter on what channel. You are such a dynamic duo and Adam adds such a funny and akward element. Hope you guys will do things together forever

[@jettm8889]

Tbh I love that they tour and show the city not just the food

[@AudreyWidner]

this is giving me nostalgia for days i spent home sick from school binge watching anthony bourdain: no reservations in the best way. Can't wait for more!

[@tojph]

That upside down phone by Shane.. 😅😅😅 Ryan: I am stronger than my fear Steven: I am greater than my fear

[@michikomanalang6733]

this entire video combined with the ad sketch just proves Watcher is the correct combination of people I choked on my water when that wig showed up

[@UnaOwens-g1q]

We know you all (understandably) hate having to do ads for sponsorship, but yours are easily the most entertaining of any KZbin channel I watch. Thank you.

[@NFordham]

Im so glad you guys are back doing food videos they are always so well done and enjoyable

[@emzombie5025]

Okay, I am in love with this series after 1 video! I love all the history and culture facts I get from this video (also craving Korean now)

[@roopkd]

Watching this while eating a warm bowl of soup is such a homely vibe

[@inacityalone]

i’m not korean but i really appreciate the effort made to pronounce all the korean names correctly!

[@Pendergasted]

I usually do not like spicy foods. It’s def more fun to just watch others eat it. 😂

[@noooooooooooooooooo-ue7te]

im so happy that andrew has joined watcher. hes so eloquently spoken and has the perfect vocabulary for describing taste and texture. im really excited to see more of him here

[@collectinggiraffes]

What a beautifully shot video!

[@crazbrownie197]

I'm so glad you're back with this style of series!!! My husband and I were so sad when Worth It ended, but I am also so glad y'all get to take so many artistic liberties now! Yay! The skit with Shane had me cackling 😂

[@lilouette]

Shane’s surfer bro voice is actually too good

[@tobiasbitters4425]

kind of in response to another big comment on the fried chicken episode, but I love the new format! it’s cool and a lil professional and artistic! it’s very poetic to see the show grow in tandem with its creators, I love to see andrew, steven, adam and annie back together! I agree that an interview with an owner or a chef intermittently makes it feel a little more homey, and definitely helped me improve as a chef! love this stuff keep it up stay safe all y’all

[@audgechew5606]

This trio 🥺🤗 My nostalgia.

Been missing the food content. I always find comfort in these types of shows.

[@angelicc5674]

there new style is so calming

[@courtney9062]

Happy to see a video with Steven in it again. There’s always so much that we don’t know that goes on behind the scenes in a company and I feel like they were making a business decision that probably made sense with the information they had, but wasn’t practical in reality. I don’t think they should be demonized because of that, especially since they listened to their audience and changed their decision. Thank you for the great content Watcher 😊

[@Therealmykag]

I love that they also made food!

[@Jilli-ku3li]

I love the quaint snaps ❤

[@queenbeemo42]

You all make the BEST content!

[@nurulainazman3107]

I gasped when I saw Johnny Kyunghwo. Yay!!! Glad to have him

"I'm in the stage of anxiety that's anger right now" might be the most relatable thing Steven has said hahaha

[@lillianlouie4284]

Steven was brave to try and also to know when to say it is enough. Bravo!

[@jospodigeeves]

What a plesare to see ya, guys! Hello to andrew, he is very funny and cute

[@Frindle_Babbin]

I never watched Worth It but I wanted to try this show and I’m glad I did! One of Steven’s older videos is where I learned about tteokbokki, and I’ve since tried it and loved it, always getting some at the international grocery when I go, so seeing it here was a little full circle for me ❤ I want some now 😔

[@rafilee90]

worth it 2.0 and i love it

[@divya7761]

Absolutely loveeee the show. It's so well edited, feels like a great documentary you can watch on cold winter days for comfort(I don't know if that makes sense) Love seeing Andrew, Steven, Adam together. Great job with the episodes! This is quality.

[@vivirahmawati3708]

I love the opening title. It kinda feels like Modern Love meet Succession, so warm and makes the video much more alive.

[@sophiewright9185]

Steven , Andrew and Adam all together makes me miss worth it so much but it shouldn’t because I rewatch episodes every single day 😅

[@sweetsurrender14]

Omg the challenge part was so fun to watch!! The owner wanting to torture customer 😅 and everyone’s reaction after eating it 😂 that was so good!
