University War
대학전쟁
Description & thoughts
Also known as Elite League. A survival show with a quiz-show influence from a production team who previously worked on The Genius, Society Game, and The Great Escape — with the intensity and editing of those shows to boot. Five teams of four from Korea's most prestigious academies duke it out in challenges involving extreme intellectual prowess. As the show claims, "strategic moves such as politics and betrayals are not necessary here" — so if you're craving that, keep walking.
