About this episode

Grace and Sarah discuss Korean Reality TV, focusing on the Physical series and its hit version, Physical Asia, with guest Megan.

Grace and Sarah are back to discuss another type of K-Content they both love - Korean Reality TV shows! This time it's the turn of the Physical series and they are delighted to be joined by sister podcast Afternoona Delight co-host Megan (and also fellow fan) to discuss. The trio cover both the series of Physical 100 but do an in-depth discussion to the 2025 released version, Physical Asia which was a big hit for Netflix. We have a spoiler-free section where we discuss the Physical series as a whole, how they find Korean Reality TV differs from Western shows of this type, what appeals and who might enjoy this show - so if you've not watched but have been tempted check out the first part of this podcast. If you've seen and are ready for our takes on who were the best teams and participants - and who were the ones we didn't love so much - join us for the whole podcast to dissect the fun and games that were Physical Asia. We also go into what we want to see in future seasons of this franchise. For fans of Singles Inferno, check out the Afternoona Delight podcast on Season Five
