1. Island Trio
Korean TV Show - 2017, 31 episodes
Native Title: 섬총사
Country: Korea (Various islands)
Cast: Kang Ho-dong, Jung Yong-hwa, Kim Hee-sun
Runtime:
Concept: A comedian, an actress and a singer combined into a trio visiting different islands and stay with local islanders to experience their lifestyle.
Comments: This show is by far one of my favorites. This combination of people creates nothing but sea of laughter whenever they're together. Unfortunately, only the first few episodes were subbed, in low quality on top of that. But I do have the rest of the episodes (after 18) in HD as raws, just leave a reply or message and I can share -

Having visited China for the first three seasons, the njttw cast venture to Vietnam for the first time. The cast members take on the characters of the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West." Season 4 was great, definetely one of the best & most hilarious seasons ^^nts: -
12. New Journey to The West: Season 5
Korean TV Show - 2018, 5 episodes
Native Title: 신서유기 5
Film location: Hong Kong & Hokkaido.
Cast: Ho-Dong, Su-Geun, Ji-Won, Jae-Hyun, MINO, Kyu-Hyun, P.O
Duration: 1 hour 15min (11 episodes)
Concept: Horror Theme (Hong Kong) & Fruit Theme (Hokkaido)Block B's P.O joins as a new cast member! He is such a great addition to the show, making this season one of the most enjoyable ones. In contrast to the previous seasons following Journey To The West theme, a totally new set of characters are introduced in this season. (Horror & Fruit theme.)
Although Na PD has become more lenient toward them, the show remains as funny as ever. -
13. New Journey to The West: Season 6
Korean TV Show - 2018, 5 episodes
Native Title: 신서유기 6
Film Location: Hokkaido.
Cast: Ho-Dong, Su-Geun, Ji-Won, Jae-Hyun, MINO, Kyu-Hyun, P.O
Duration: 1 hour 30min (5 episodes)
Concept: Fruit Theme
Season 6 is a direct continuation of the 5th season., taking place in Hokkaido (Japan) where the theme changes from Horror Special to Fruits Special. Going to Japan & dressing up as fruits was a super refreshing and funny concept! As much as I felt bad for them having to wear such llarge costumes it was incredibly funny seeing them get stuck everywhere. I have always enjoyed the spontaneous nature of the show, Na PD never disapppoints (other than the fact there hasn't been a new season in awhile, please work on that.) -
14. New Journey to The West: Season 7
Korean TV Show - 2019, 11 episodes
Native Title: 신서유기 7

Duration: 1 hour 30min (11 episodes)
Concept: Homecoming
The seventh season marks the very first season in which filming returned to South Korea. Unfortunately, Ahn Jaehyun is no longer part of the show. (Got divorced. Korean netizens demanded he be kicked out and edited out of the show. Scary. Literally the Eun Jiwon treatment) -
15. New Journey to The West: Season 8
Korean TV Show - 2020, 11 episodes
Native Title: 신서유기 8
Film location: South Korea.
Cast: Ho-Dong, Su-Geun, Ji-Won, MINO, Kyu-Hyun, P.O
Duration: 1 hour 40min (11 episodes)
Concept: Korean traditional fairytale, Heungbu and Nolbu
Another great season of NJTTW, and the last one to date. Made me really emotional seeing their last interviews with each member with their real feelings and serious conversation saying their goodbyes... (im)patiently waiting for another season. -
