Hello, America, have y'all heard of a li'l show called Physical: 100? Yes, it's essentially a Netflix Squid Game-like reality competition show, but next level.
Netflix invited the 100 fittest athletes in South Korea to come battle it out in the ultimate arena of physical challenges. We're talking everyone from Olympic team members, professional baseball players, MMA fighters, bodybuilders, federal agents, farmers, dancers, security guards, pararescue specialists, zombie choreographers, and more.

Sounds like a million other reality shows (*cough The Challenge cough*), right? But as fans of Physical: 100 already know, South Korea is on a whole other level. We're not just talking about bodies, bodies, bodies — though they are very nice, too.
We're talking about the wholesome shit talking and world-class sportsmanship that's imbued the show. Think of it as Bake Off for bros. If you haven't joined the Physical: 100 hive, don't worry, it's not too late. Let these tweets ease you into one of the most memorable shows of the year:

2. As one critical review said, "Woah. Nice. Nice."
Girls, go watch Physical 100, He is the plot 👀
3. One might even call the contestants superheroes. (Watch your back, Tony Stark, Iron Bin is coming for you.)
there's no way yun sungbin is a human, he's a monster 😭 #Physical_100 #Physical100
4. Seriously, you could trust any of these contestants with your life.
Kim Mincheol once again proved that he owns hanging. Winning both pre-quest and The Wings of Icarus. "you can trust him with your life" "if that's what mountain rescuers are like, I could go hiking without worries" #Physical100 #Physical_100
5. And they're just as inspirational.
now watching physical 100 for educational purposes... and her
6. The teamwork is unparalleled.
this is so heartwarming to see! even though they are not competing in the olympics, Kim Sik is still looking out for Sung Bin. what an amazing coach #Physical100
7. And the underdogs are strong as hell sleeper hits.
"jang eunsil's team has 4 women and the smallest men" and the difference from the 2nd team full of bulked men was just a little over 2 minutes. unserious #physical100
8. Jang Eun Sil is a fan-favorite you want to get behind.
Jang Eun Sil can lead my team all day any day. #Physical100
9. Proving you don't need to be the buffest person on the block to completely dominate your competitors.
I love all the women on #Physical100 proving to the men that while they may be smaller, they have every right to be there. When she assembled her team's bridge, stuntwoman Da-young pointed out that safety was more important than winning. She's the only 1 who built it securely.💪
10. Eat your heart out, Survivor!
I was so proud of her #Physical100
11. People are seriously impressed with how respectful all the contestants are to each other.
A reality show that is still super entertaining and almost no one is starting drama, everyone is respectful, talented and encouraging. This would be a whole diff thing if it was the US version. #Physical100
12. Seriously, look at this queen addressing her kingdom. Name one other reality show star who is so gracious and inspirational in her exit.
'We didn't get to write history like we talked about today, but I saw the possibility. If there's another opportunity, let's write history then. You all did great.' BEST TEAM LEADER JANG EUN-SIL 😭 #Physical100 #Physical100Ep7
13. Like, you get attached to every single person by the end.
It feels like the main character dies before the movie ends. Yun Sungbin you did well 🥺 #Physical_100 #Physical100
14. Like, REALLY attached.
what do you mean yun sung bin and choo sunghoon don’t make it to the final 5 after making them the main characters for 9 episodes #Physical100
15. Also, it really does have a wholesome and important message at its core with these competitors.
I think this is what sets #physical100 apart from other series. They were not out for money or bragging rights. They all wanted to bring awareness to their sports and prove themselves. All the while never being malicious or ugly to one another
16. But don't worry, it wouldn't be a Squid Game-like competition without a handful of juicy villains.
Me rooting for Eun-sil’s team but the guy who did Chun-ri dirty is also in it #Physical100
17. There's definitely strategy afoot.
Kang-min convincing people for an alliance #Physical100
18. And everyone leaves everything on the floor.
#Physical100 everyone: "I feel like death" "thanks god it's over" "i believe that my team gonna be the winner" yoon sungbin:
19. Even if it doesn't get you back in the gym, it'll definitely keep you in front of your TV.
Watches Physical:100 once…
20. Basically, everyone can't stop watching it.
Koreans really put crack in their tv shows. Physical: 100 bangs😭
21. In conclusion, stop what you're doing now and watch Physical: 100. You will "FOAM AT THE MOUTH."
