Less good than season 1, felt a bit monotonous at some point
I found this season 2 of the Physical 100 show that put in competition 100 candidates in top physical shapes less exciting than its 1 season. It might be linked to the fact that the novelty effect from the first season is not there anymore and there are some aspects relating to the mechanics of the show that are repetitive. Some of the challenges get monotonous and lack variety.
The production value though is very good: the set up of the challenge, the industrial set in which the contestants are evolving led to a lot of impactful images. The way the camera film the physical exploits is also very good. I wish we get to know better the participants in between the challenges. It felt lacking in terms of interactions. Other than a few famous faces from the South Korean grand public that the production seemed to advantage in terms of screen time, there are very few participants that made a lasting impression on me.
I would recommend this to people that enjoyed the first season. It is less good in my opinion and I hope they will improve for season 3 on the elements that were a bit lacking.
