In 2019, Hunan Satellite TV released a new variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", which hit its peak upon launch and attracted a lot of attention. Although the ratings dropped significantly in the second season, the popularity still exists. Since I have a sister, why can't I have a brother? So, after long calls, "Brother Who Overcomes Troubles" is finally here! Premieres on August 12th.
? I took a look at the list of 32 brothers. Although there are no Andy Lau, Wu Chun, Zhong Hanliang, and Lin Zhiying as previously rumored, they are quite interesting. The program team has spent a lot of effort to find 32 people. A brother with bright spots, and it’s not easy to have a suitable schedule. The recording period should be at least 3 months!
