This is seriously one of my favorite shows of all time. I never thought I could laugh so hard even while reading subtitles! I had always watched this show using various websites, then one day I stumbled upon it on Netflix. I was happy to see that netflix picked up one of my favorite shows from over seas. 20 minutes into the first episode on Netflix I started to realize that something was very off about the show. The subtitles were much worse than what I was used to, their were no funny video effects or extra subtitles for korean words on the screen, and worst of all everytime they played music it was DUBBED over probably to avoid copyright infringements. The show was also shortened by a lot and cut out some of the funniest parts. I very much recommend this show to anyone who wants to laugh their off, but just know that if you are watching this show on Netflix you are missing SO much of what makes this show so great!

I couldn't not watch this show because it was gaining so much popularity and still going. At first, I was a little upset for the fact that the show is full of men but I gathered later that it was for the best because this show is pretty intense of making jokes out of hurtful topics; crimes that was committed by the members.

To sums it, A Hyung I Know is like SNL in high school setting. All the students are trouble makers. And the celebrity guests supposed to play along with the setting as troublemakers who transferred into that school. There are quizzes on the celebrity guests, the sport games and the impromptu drama.

There are boring episodes but most of them are fun. I personally like the one where Red Velvet makes an appearance and playing the teenage daughters.

A group of adult men dress as children in a classroom and each episode a new group of students join them for fun and mayhem. I must admit to enjoying many of the fun games and mayhem of each episode although I think each episode is over long and becomes plodding at times. I think more knowledge of the people starring in the show is beneficial because apparently it is highly critical of the previous behaviour of them. My discomfort comes as the an adult dressing up as a schoolgirl or schoolboy blurs the boundaries between adult and child and a school uniform should be the ultimate signal of sexual unavailability.

I was browsing through kdramas on netflix and this kept popping up. Eventually i gave in, took a look and watched a random episode with skepticism and loved every weird second of it. Australia gave up on this kind of show 20 years ago and it's fantastic to see real humour, real people being funny, serious and crazy, celebs, eye candy and insane uncomfortable challenges. Admittedly i've watched the eye candy episodes i like best first, but even if i don't recognise the transfer students it's a tonne of fun. I just wish Netflix or whoever edits it wouldn't cut bits out and make it so obvious. It's even helping me learn Korean, believe it or not! I'm going to watch it all, and i hope it doesn't end!! it's a winner for me!!!!

Found this gem on netflix (men on a mission on NF) but started to watch all eps online. learnt so much about the Korean culture and the celebrities. also great to see a different side to celebrities as they get to talk. also love the games they compete it. The humour is top notch. love the banter they give each other even when its borderline topics other shows dont touch.
