Korean TV Report: Nonstop [Korea, Television] — Wyatt @ 10:58 am

Cast of Nonstop III
Cast of Nonstop III

Nonstop is a Korean sitcom about college students. In someways it’s similar to Saved By The Bell, in someways similar to Friends, and in other ways like no other show I’ve ever seen.

I have a soft place in my heart for this show and it was the first Korean television show I ever saw. Back in America, I watched two episodes of this show in a Korean class after our final exam (the exam was in class and days before the end of the semester). Those two episodes were enough for me. I thought it was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen and started renting tapes of it from the Korean market near my house.

The plot of the show itself is kind of hard to explain. A group of students live together in a dormitory, rarely attend class, and have a lot of really insane adventures. Their college has one professor who often visits the dorm and is part of the students adventures. The adventures the kids have are pretty random as well. In one the kids might be going to a wedding, in another someone with end up with a job as a fashion model, or perhaps someone will battle gangsters without knowing how powerful they are.

Anyhow since I arrived in Korea, the cast I knew and loved…eh eh eh (see the above picture) was replaced with a new group of students. I haven’t really gotten into the new people that much, but perhaps they will grow on me.
