The Ultimate Summer Escape Comes to TV
Channel A is launching a new weekend drama, ‘We Travel for You’, on August 2. Based on the best-selling Japanese novel by Harada Maha, the series blends wanderlust, healing, and emotional storytelling into one therapeutic ride.
From Washed-Up Idol to Wandering Soul
Here’s the hook: The story follows a former idol who never made it as the “center” (K-pop speak for the spotlight). Now working as a travel reporter, he takes on trips on behalf of clients who can’t travel themselves. Each journey becomes more than sightseeing—it’s a soulful search for meaning, identity, and comfort. Basically, it’s part Lonely Planet, part emotional recovery show.
Stunning Destinations, Stellar Cast
Filmed across Korea’s most scenic spots, the series doubles as a virtual vacation. Expect eye-candy visuals—from coastal getaways to mountain retreats—that might make you reach for your passport. As the production puts it: “This is a front-row, five-sense healing escape.”
The lineup includes Gong Seungyeon, Kim Jaeyoung, Yoo Jun-sang, Hong Soo-hyun, and Oh Hyun-joong—each bringing their A-game with nuanced characters and relatable warmth. Director Kang Sol promised a “deeply human and visually rich experience that reflects modern struggles and hope through travel.”
Summer’s Most Chill Drama?
With vacation season heating up, ‘We Travel for You’ might be the couch-bound alternative for those who’d rather binge-watch than board a plane. So get ready to explore, cry a little, and possibly reevaluate your next holiday (or heartbreak).
