You don't even have to watch the videos --just look at the screen-shots. When I saw them, I recognized them from channel surfing in Korea. The obstacle challenges, the pepsi-man body suits, everything --a total rip off.

Your mistake is using a singular subject in that sentence.

I'm confused...where's the rip off? I've watched that before and it's just K1-Goofball Hong-Man on the Japanese TV show...it's kinda funny...

Is there a Korean version on TV now? Any links to that?

I don't know about that show, but I saw a show on KBS that I thought was really funny. It's kind of a dating show and there are four guys and a girl in the middle in a plastic box, when the girl says or does certain things the guys get pummeled with water or thrown backwards into a pool. I just sat laughing through the entire program. I wish I knew the name of it.

Don't be so quick to judge. A ripoff means they stole it without permission, right? The Korean channel got a permission to use the game format from the Japanese Fuji TV. The Korean version is called 두뇌의 벽 in 작렬!정신통일.

Ya, this is pretty standard. Whatever Idol, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Big Brother, Sesame Street, The Price is Right, and many more though I don't feel like finding them.

Koreans and Japanese have long remade each others tv shows and movies. There was a long standing media ban between both nations. Koreans wouldn't import Japanese tv shows, movies, songs and the Japanese returned the favor. The only way to get content across the trade barrier was simply doing remakes. I remember at Seattle film festival seeing a Japanese remake of a Korean movie. The Japanese director quite literally took credit for the script and concept.

That show is a very old show...made in 2002/2003...

Its name was 위험한 만남(dangerous meeting) or something similar to that....

Thanks, doggyi. I wasn't aware of that. (This board really needs you.) I made the assumption based on things like the Starpreya logo(1) and the Kic Ker chocolate bar(2).

What was the name of the movie (either the Korean or the Japanese one)?

Actually, it was 위험한 초대 (Dangerous Invitation).

By far the best of the series was with Jang Na-ra as the guest. Every time she laughed, she did one of the secret actions (clapping or touching her face), which caused the firehose to blast the gagmen in the face, which only made her laugh more... it was an endless loop of silliness.

I should subtitle it and upload it to YouTube someday.

Fremantle Media has picked up the rights for that program in Australia too..

Oldboy and 200 Pound Beauty were both popular Japanese comics that were made into Korean films
