Netflix (NETFLIX) daily variety show 'Getaway and Go with Jangdobari' features actor Um Tae-goo as the lead of the first journey of season 2.
"Getaway and Go with Jangdobari" (directed by Ryu Soo-bin, produced by TEO) is a travel variety show in which Jang Doyoun and a friend pack up their stories and take off on a trip. In the first episode of season 2, which will be released today (20th, Sat) at 5 p.m., a special Gangneung coffee tour for the "latte lover" Um Tae-goo unfolds.
Set against the coffee mecca of Gangneung in Gangwon Province, this trip was planned under the theme "in search of the best latte," reflecting the tastes of actor Um Tae-goo, who loves coffee. Matching the concept of "latte boy," Um Tae-goo appears wearing a coffee-colored shirt and unabashedly displays his coffee aficionado side by recommending local coffee spots in Gangneung himself. Especially with MC Jang Doyoun, even though it is their third meeting, they maintain an awkward atmosphere that will create laughs through the unique chemistry of introverts.
Um Tae-goo was a guest who drew attention to the point that casting was discussed from the early planning stages of "Getaway and Go with Jangdobari." He said he decided to appear because "I haven't been on variety shows much, so I always ask around and everyone liked it very much, and above all, I thought it would be fun to be with the best MC Jang Doyoun for the third time." He reveals his enthusiastic fandom for Byeon Yo-han, who was the first guest of season 1, repeatedly invoking Byeon Yo-han's name at various spots on the trip and making viewers curious about the backstory.
Contrary to his intense image, the introverted Um Tae-goo raises expectations as a rising star in variety shows who "does everything even if embarrassed." Since he is currently active as the sole MC of the web variety show "Simple Labor: Workman Side Story" after 18 years since his debut, intriguing behind-the-scenes stories related to this will also be revealed. When Jang Doyoun asked if he had ever done skits on variety shows, Um Tae-goo shared a behind-the-scenes story about nearly stopping a recording after attempting a skit on "Simple Labor: Workman Side Story," eliciting laughter.
The duo's full-fledged skit attempts also draw anticipation. The two will present various improvised performances, including an estranged couple concept in front of Seocho Court, delivering uproarious laughter. In particular, while Um Tae-goo is flustered by Jang Doyoun's bold ad-libs, he gradually immerses himself and even shows signs of becoming addicted to skits, adding to the humor. Expectations are rising for Um Tae-goo's performance as a "passionate new variety talent" who will show a surprising charm that swings between playfulness and seriousness.
