Natural High

Natural High invites comedian Shen Teng and a small group of friends to step away from the nonstop rush of urban life and spend time in the countryside and wilderness. The series follows informal outings, improvised games, basic survival tasks and overlapping personalities as the cast cooks, camps and goof around without the usual pressures of filming. Rather than manufactured competition, episodes lean on spontaneous banter and situational comedy, showing how ordinary outdoor tasks highlight differences in temperament and skill, and how friendships adjust without schedules and screens. The result is a mix of easy jokes, awkward moments and quiet, low-key reflection.

Released in 2023, the show was directed by Wang Hailong and created by Teng Shen. Main participants include Teng Shen, Adam Fan, Wang Anyu and Johnny Huang. Production favors on-location shooting with a loose, vérité feel, and episodes blend planned setups with improvised interactions to showcase personality over plot.

Natural High hasn't collected major industry awards so far. Its appeal shows up more in niche fan response than in formal accolades, with a small but positive viewer rating, 7.2 out of 10 from six votes, suggesting steady appreciation among those who seek lighthearted reality fare.

Though not a breakout global hit, the program joined a trend of celebrity-led retreats and helped spark online clips and fan discussions about slowing down and weekend escapes. Viewers often highlight the cast's chemistry, which encourages sharing short moments of practical jokes, shared meals and campfire conversations.

Critics and viewers describe the show as relaxed and informal, where humor emerges from personality contrasts and everyday setbacks rather than scripted punchlines. The show leans into themes of friendship, unplugging from urban pace and finding satisfaction in small tasks, and opinions vary on whether its low-energy approach is refreshing or too unstructured. Some viewers appreciate the slow rhythms as restorative, while others wanted more clear objectives or recurring segments to build momentum.
