Ultimately an exciting and soulful adventure fueled by passion and the thirst for conquering!
With the same title “Ride now” as his previous Vlog adventure, the show has evolved and gone beyond his favorite cycling activities into leisure activities that Wu Lei enjoys in general. And the destination for this time is Vanuatu, a small island northern of Australia, where the world most accessible active volcanoes are located. It is some of the very few places in the world where human can watch and experience firsthand erupting volcanoes within safe distance.
Though independently produced by his studio, one can expect a small-scaled traveling reality show here with beautiful overhead long shots and vibrantly vivid colors of the nature including spectacle images and sound from the erupting volcanoes, the deep blue sea, sunrise beaches and so on. The trip is divided into 2 episodes. Episode 1 provides the common tourist experiences like shopping and strolling around the local market through Wu Lei’s eyes, showering us with the actor’s child-like joy and excitement; while the later part brought us some radically gorgeous images from the active volcanoes with insights into his choice to travel here. The short and succinct narration unveils and explains where his passion for volcanoes originates from.
Episode 2 is about his stay on the islands and his scuba-diving challenge to conquer his fear of the deep sea. Thanks to this ép, I got to know about one of the 5 under-water posts in the world that actually sends postcards from the sea!
Overall, the show is highly entertaining and engaging. One will be infected with his joy and excitement exploring a more dangerous traveling destination. With beautiful shots, hilarious editing and comment, compelling narration, mood-setting music and satisfying length, the show proves its content worthy and entertaining value! Not less than any professional reality shows imo.
To be honest, I was quite impressed by the volcanoes and the narration about it. One can feel the authenticity of his passion and his thoughtful& contemplating nature under his enthusiastic outlook through this show.
