Good start! Keep on.. making 'not' everyone laugh! But the true!
chirilescemanuel3 December 2023
I'm from a country where most of the people from it, are too serious and religious. Our humour will boil down to this: finding flaws in one's actions or in the wide society, in which we live but can't accept that we all live, by the same song or breathe the same air.

In short, we love satire. That kind which we keep track of and could not, and care less to replace with a brighter act.

So, at first, I thought: watching this is stupid. It's not what I get to watch in my everyday life.

I mean, how could this group of people act like there are no standards of preference by the specator/s?

This is what I have thought, at first - episode 1.

Was I in such wrong, because: from the second episode, I started to love it - the comedians, the acting, the improvising, the costumes, the laughter and the energy they have brought to the screens, until de end of the sixth episode.

It is another feel towards comedy that I don't get to experience that regularly, and the comedians are so different in mentality than us.

I have realised, how blessed these people are, to get the chance and act that freely, in expressing the same way they think, without worrying that someone who's watching the show would judge the way they move, or act in this manner/ the other one, and simply be.. themselves.

I'm not saying that I live in a distopian society, myself. Living here, as I am, is something that I would hardly exchange for someplace that is elsewhere, but... watching this show, I have realised that koreans are special, as well.. in a way of being who they are - in thinking how they do. They love living, it feels that way!

Only thing left to say: applauses! And.. good job on the performance, and keep on making people laugh! I would love to watch a season 2.

7/10, for a starter pack.

Absolute diabolical regurgitated low quality LARPING
zampanami5 December 2023
I ll make it very honest whether this review goes live or not, K wave is so over. Everything is so monotonous & using fillers /larping over american culture or english words labels. Variety shows are more like food eating for 80-90% of the time & the amount has only increased in these two decades. Comedy is based on lame clout chasing & completely destroying the humor quotient in the process. Je Seong is the only guy with sense of humor needed for comedians.

Comedy is divided into two types. One is making a fool of yourself to make others laugh. Second is roasting others. Most follow the second type & end up looking narcissistic fools. Only those 'allowed' by society are deemed funny. Same goes for gag comedians, whether they are presented as pathetic fools or clever comedians makes up for how people will receive their jokes/gags.

99.9% of this humorless lot they brought to this show with a completely clueless concept & actually kind of depressing vibes with all the fast forward, cutting off too many scenes, talking interviews in between of acts, what pathetic nonsense have they created ?

I thought they were doing something similar to famous 'documental' japanese series which is hilarious & quite wild & raw.

All this production, polishing by netflix yet its a regurgitated product that makes you want to throw up so bad & will leave you with 'what is this sh ' kind of vibes. Netflix like all their american shows are garbage, like throwing money into Kshows even though the quality of their shows singers dramas has gone down the drain.

I would not recommend this to even people I dont like. The show 'players' was still funny in some places. This is so bad from every angle & i havent had a laugh yet, though I understand korean cultural/lingo jokes very well.

For reference, I find Kim Jong Min far more funnier than Yu Jae Seok who's just annoying as hell, always being cunning. Korean public seems to enjoy bullying in their culture & therefore they enjoy it as kind of humor as well. Good quality banter is still okay but the quality here is so gross.

I hope they stop trying to act global & superstar like, kpop kdrama kvariety kcomedy.. things dont get better by adding K to them.
