Review of ‘Physical 100’, the most intense competition show from Netflix that poor athletes say “It’s harder than going to the Olympics.”
Physical 100, strong and tough is an intense survival reality show from Netflix that screens 100 of the fittest male and female contestants through a stage to determine the winner with only one strongest body. Fun that squeezes the heart, can’t stop watching But the fun is in each level that tests the strength of the body differently. Even though you have big muscles, you may lose to a small woman as well.

What’s really amazing regarding this list is the selection of 100 people with amazing histories. Because there are athletes from the Olympic level, gold medals, farmers, rescuers to YouTube numbers. One of the most respected people on the show is Chu Sung Hoon or Yoshihiro Akiyama (aka Sexyama), an MMA superstar.
Tough mission
In order to narrow the 100 down to one winner who will receive 300 million won, contestants go through 5 missions that include solo and team competitions. that many scenes are reminiscent of Squid Game And some of the games I played reminded me of the games in Single Inferno But it’s much more fun with great contestants.
- Warm up task: Let the contestants hang from the steel frame as long as possible. Whoever is unable to climb will fall into the well below. This checkpoint does not eliminate people. But bring people to rank the 50 people who last the longest. There will be advantages in the next game.
- Task 1: Fight for possession of the ball head-to-head. Whoever holds the ball last in the 3-minute match advances, with the top 50 in the warm-up missions having the opportunity to choose their opponent and pitch. and mud pits that focus on full combat
- Task 2: is a sand-carrying competition as a team The team leader will receive a vote from the contestants. Then the teams are divided among themselves into teams of 5. The leader who gets more points can choose the opposing team. The competition was right. Whoever carries the most sand wins. But the difficulty lies in completing the rope bridge. And if you walk too hard, the bridge might collapse. and cause hair to stop This is a game that requires all your energy. unity and planning
- Mission 2.5: The 25 people who are eliminated from the second round qualify for the final if they are the top 5 people who can hold their statue the longest. The statue will weigh 40% of the body weight of the 5 contestants who can return to the competition will automatically be on the same team.
- Task 3: Two teams of 6 must work together. to push a boat weighing 1.5 tons to the finish line but had to carry 10 wooden barrels onto the boat to get the total weight of 2 tons first, using logs to help push the boat and pull the boat up with a rope. The 2 teams that do it fastest win.
- Mission 4: team representative showdown To find five finalists, each team will send a representative to compete in a game inspired by Greek mythology.
- Atlas’ punishment – Carrying a gigantic rock Whoever carries it the longest wins.
- Prometheus’ fire – Repeatedly run, jump over obstacles to grab the torch, with each person being eliminated. Whoever remains last will win.
- wings of icarus – A race on a tightrope that slowly descends, whoever can climb the longest wins.
- Sisyphus’ Punishment – Rolling a 100-kilogram rock up and down a hill Whoever rolls over in time will be eliminated. And the last person remaining wins.
- Ouroboros’ tail – Chasing each other in a circle Whoever gets pasted by someone behind him will be eliminated.
- Mission 5: In the final mission, the contestants had to play 4 games that were eliminated one by one until the remaining winners were determined.
- 5 square tug of war – Contestants will be locked. and tied together with a rope and compete to pick up the keys in different corners of the stage Who can get the key to unlock it before going to the final round? This game is suitable for strong people. Because you have to pull others in your own direction. and use the sensitivity to open the key as well
- flip 4 square – Contestants are divided into two teams. The winner of the previous game will choose a match first. The two teams race to turn a square on the ground into their own color in five minutes. Which team wins to qualify The losing team must play once more with a 3-minute time limit. This game relies mainly on speed.
- running back triangle – Contestants must run back and forth to ring the bell in time for each round. The time of each round is gradually getting shorter, whoever can’t run in time will be eliminated. Winning requires patience, timing, good planning.
- endlessly pulling the rope – A deciding game that relies on physical strength and endurance. When the contestants have to pull the big, long and heavy rope over and over, whoever pulls to the end of the rope first wins.
A game that turns beyond expectations
Many people may think that enough is a matter of strength or stamina. A big, muscular man must win decisively. But there are times when the contestants are small. Many of them are unbelievably dark horses. Or become an important part of the team, the type that other teams can only regret make the audience excited throughout the program For some things, if the heart fights, they may be able to win even though their physical strength is at a disadvantage. And each stage was so exhausting that Jo Jung Myung, a Luge athlete competing, even said,
“Going to the Olympics once more might be easier. Beijing Olympics is even easier.”
and despite being a physical competition But the program draws out the charm of the contestants who are interesting and different from any program that I have seen as well. This work is thanks to director Jang Ho Ki, screenwriters Kang Suk Kyung and Jo Geun Ae, who designed each mission and told the story well. Scene team that creates spectacular scenes And the editing team that makes this show unstoppable fun (Even BTS’ Jungkook watched this show live with fans) Physical 100, strong and tough Therefore, it is another item that should not be missed in all respects.
