"Physical: 100" – Netflix's No. 1 non-English speaking show last week and a Top 10 fixture for the past few weeks – started off with a bang and concluded with a season finale that at best was . . . anticlimactic. Go to Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) 03/10/2023

I’m surprised that Netflix didn’t issue a tighter international edit, but nonetheless this unexpected hit will still make converts. Go to Full Review Stef Rubino Autostraddle 03/02/2023
Feels distinctly different from any American reality competition show... [the participants] are representative of many different kinds of athletes and, as a result, have many different kinds of bodies. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 09/05/2023

Some of these folks have bigger personalities than they do muscles, which doesn't determine their strength, but adds to the entertainment. Go to Full Review Allyson Johnson Pajiba 02/27/2023
Physical: 100 delivered the level of high-stakes drama and tension most typically found in narrative series. We gasped and hid our heads in our shirts as our favorites lost graciously and determined to become stronger. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Angel C @seraphine.th Jan 9 This season opens you to a new world in Korea. Knowing the Korean beauty standards and innocent feel like shows, this show cuts it. It started with how women and men can be equal at all. Very fun and emotional show to start with watching Physical. See more Smiling D Nov 13 All of these physical series are entertaining. The one-on-one was brutal, 50% elimination rounds. One particular match stood out because it left me with a sour gut, when Park Hyung-geun, who was in the top 50, stepped down and challenged Kim Chun-ri. That in it self was odd but during the battle, his true nature exposed itself. He's a bully, cruel and possibly has issues with the oposite sex. Kim Chun-ri was the good sport. True she was out matched but he was being mean and you could hear it in the voices of those who looked on.

See more Jose N Nov 6 Se ha convertido en uno de mis shows favoritos, la ambientación de los juegos es fabulosa, los participantes son fuertes y carismáticos, te hace sentir muchas emociones. See more Elijah W 10/01/2024 Awesome show! Have watched it through twice now. See more james w 09/02/2024 The idea and games are great but the overly edited and meaningless replays are so tiresome, I’m genuinely surprised by all the positive reviews. See more Read all reviews
