šŸ¦ netflix hit

netflix has a new hit show on its hands, and it’s not what you’d expect – no wednesday, stranger things or red notice, but a south korean reality tv show pitting contestants against each other in challenges that test their physicality in various ways

the games include:

  • hanging challenge: players hung onto a metal rack suspended over a pool of water to test who could hold on the longest

  • rock-lifting challenge: brutally straightforward, players held a giant boulder over their shoulders and kept it from falling to the ground. the final contestants lasted a whopping 2 hours

  • team boat challenge: players loaded barrels onto a boat and moved the 4,000 pound vehicle with logs – testing both strength and teamwork

 
 

šŸ¦ squid game?

the premise alone brings to mind another korean hit, 2021’s squid game – which had physical challenges and competition that went to the extreme. however, whereas that was a nihilistic approach to harsh situations, this show has contestants cheering, helping, and respecting each other every step of the way

  • another reason this show is quite engaging, is that female players are put to the same standards as men – they compete in wrestling matches, endurance tests, and more on the same playing field

  • quite contrary to other shows (especially in asian media), women are seen in a whole new light – not as physically inferior but as fellow athletes – and another part of the fun is seeing players with different physiques challenging each other (think: gymnasts vs. bodybuilders vs. boxers, etc.)

if you have a netflix account and want to watch something refreshing, i recommend this show – surely an entertaining and eye-grabbing experience that makes you want to hit the gym
