(I have only watched the episodes from ep 16 when the whole concept of the show was changed so this review will be based on that, I will get to watching those first episodes at some point)

To be honest, I started watching the show because of Kim Heechul's funny clips and compilations from this show on youtube. At first, I felt the entire show revolved around him and Lee Soo Geun, even if he wasn't the main MC. He added the humor which isn't normally seen in other variety shows and he was brilliant at that. When the show had a later time slot, they were able to make more daring jokes and talk about more sensitive topics which was fascinating (they still do but there's way less sexual innuendos and jokes now). Topics include smoking, gambling, divorce and debt which you don't regularly see in regular variety shows, which is probably why this show got really popular.

Members tease each other and guests every episode about controversial topics but not to the point when they get really uncomfortable. This is how I got to know each member of the cast and guests better over time. After watching 5-10 episodes, I understood everyone's character and some of their background history which was really nice. By this point, I felt that each member really plays a big part in the show and they all fit together, kicking out the stereotype that Heechul and Lee Soo Geun carried this show alone.

I really enjoy the "Ask us Anything" segments of the episodes because it's a unique idea which is comical and kinda educational(?) at the same time. It's really interesting to get to know the guests in these segments but one thing is, the more guests in the episode, the less questions and air time each person gets which is sometimes frustrating especially with big boy and girl groups.

The other big segment is when the guests battle against the members. This part really makes or breaks the episode for me. Most of the time the games are funny and great to watch but sometimes it's boring so I stop watching. Also, the boys cheat most of the time to get the advantage which sometimes gets annoying to watch because it gets too repetitive.

Overall, this is a really great show to watch with a fantastic cast (regardless of what people say about Ho dong and other members). The range of guests is also really cool, it's not just kpop artists who come but actors and comedians. If you are going to watch it, I highly suggest starting from episode 16-18 since the first concept is a completely different show to what it is now. Also, I think the best episodes are the earlier ones (20s to 50s) before they got 5% ratings and got really popular because the members tried really hard during those times and some of the jokes were still original.
