100 % physique!

Strength and agility based reality TV show is a thrilling competition that tests the limits of its contestants. The 100 competitors are put through rigorous challenges that test their strength and agility, with a large money prize on the line.

One thing that I felt could have been improved upon is the decision to pause the game when a hit or punch is landed. It seems inconsistent that anaconda chokes are allowed, but elbow hits are not.

Aside from this minor critique, the show is a well-produced, non-scripted competition that truly puts the contestants' skills to the test. Overall, it's a must-watch for fans of reality TV and sports competitions.

Considering I have never seen a Korean reality drama before , I dont even know why I started watching this. Wanted to check it out and it drew me in for 3 main reasons.

1) Korean culture is not something that I am exposed to and it was nice to see how people interact and greet each other in a natural setting 2) The wide variety of athletes assembled here was nice . There were sports I am exposed and biased towards and I found myself rooting for them 3) Good looking people with physiques they been working on for year.

I kept watching and the show was unlike any reality show I have ever seen. I found myself rooting for people I had no connection. Sometimes it is like you are rooting for everyone and the general tone of the show is also of a strong sense of camaraderie.

Then there are these battles . Which are often battles of wills and people from different backgrounds with different skillsets. Almost felt like watching and anime battle.

Cant wait for the rest of it !

This show has me on the edge of my seat rooting for the under dogs and/or women each event. The level of strength and agility some of the men have is awesome to watch. It's interesting how the voiceovers sort of match what you would expect the person to really sound like. My one gripe is that they should identify what the person does or is known for - more often. There were several scenes where only the Korean words were put on the screen so I had no idea which person I was watching because of my bad memory. Hopefully they will let us know who each person is better going forward the way they did in the first couple of episodes as the season goes on. I definitely would watch a season 2 of this.

This has a really different feel to other competitive physical reality series, mostly due to the utmost respect the contestants have for each other, regardless or their strength or ability.

Even when contestants had to make decisions on others perceived "weakness", you could tell that decision didn't come lightly nor did it always rely on stereotypes.

The challenges were an excellent mix of physicality and teamwork, and designed so well that the diverse range of contestants had a fighting chance.

I found myself being quite emotional at times, feeling for these people as they gave everything they had to succeed in the competition. The editing didn't overdo the emotional impact either, it was up the viewer to decide how they felt about it.

The only downside is the constant repetitive and highly distracting replays throughout the episodes, which served no purpose and slowed down the pace of the show.

A truly amazing series that redefines what reality competitions should be.

This show is so entertaining to watch. It's interesting to see how the different body types match up against each other. Seeing how the contestants interact with deference and respect for each other makes it even more enjoyable. There's none of the behind the scenes personality clashes or fake "alliances" that water down so many of these reality shows. It's just pure competition. Also, there's no host and not much in the way of narration. The contestants themselves are the only stars of the show. We learn about each athlete through conversations among the other contestants. It's a very refreshing approach.

There's only one minor flaw that I find somewhat annoying. Whoever is doing the editing feels the need to repeat many of the scenes over and over again...3, 4 and sometimes even 5 times in a row in rapid sequence. I hope this show gets picked up for a second season and they do without this unnecessary and distracting editing technique.
