You should continue watching this series, it's very fun to see Ollie try to figure out how to speak with strangers and try to get to places in Korea alone. Great reaction, as always!

[@Lucy-ny4gs]

agree the series is great!!

[@Siluialwin]

I agree trying to see Ollie communicate when Josh is not there at all is also different than when he is there and could be an interesting thing for him to see....plus it is very entertaining to watch.

[@bethelliot7140]

Yes please!

[@ProsyStrangers]

I agree. Especially from a communications standpoint, OLlie has to communicate in Korean with people of all ages and it's fun to see how they react to him. It's really enjoyable. I just rewatched this series last week so I love that Max found it!

[@offthesidelines]

One thing that Josh and Ollie had actually discussed in a video (can't remember which one) is that while Ollie's persona is very sarcastic, quirky and seemingly all over the place, behind the camera and/or professionally and in their personal lives, he's actually the more pragmatic of the two and is very much a micromamanager and perfectionist. Ollie's actually usually BEHIND the camera for the majority of their Korean Englishman videos and making sure everything runs smoothly; they've mentioned a number of time Josh would do something unexpected during a filming or change the flow of an interview and Ollie would be panicking off camera. 🤣 From a creative, sense of humor and entertainment perspective, Ollie's the one more willing to push boundaries and make risky decisions. From an everyday/general perspective however, Josh is actually a lot more easygoing and a much bigger risk-taker. You also realize after watching many videos that Ollie's not as "dumb" as he makes himself out to be (for our entertainment). His humor can be very sharp and smart, he regularly ask questions that are engaging, his responses can be very thoughtful and he often doesn't hesitate to call others out on their wrongdoings (he's made regular hilarious quips at England about colonization and such). He seems very knowledgeable about many historical events and social issues (whether they're England-related or not) and it'll regularly slip out naturally in conversations they have with guests on the Jolly channel. The guy's much more smarter than he makes himself out to be; I think he even often underestimates himself unfortunately. Ollie's also a father and of what we've seen so far of his daughter, his wife and him seem to be great parents. Ollie even expressed some guilt at not being able to spend more time with his daughter and thus changed his work schedule to be with her more. Yeah if you haven't noticed: I have a soft spot for Ollie and his family. 😅

[@feyzamrym2743]

l love Ollie as well. And l feel like people don't realize he is kinda the hearth of koreanenglishman. He is very smart. He told in a video that he had done his master's degree and write thesis.

[@yootoobsamantha]

The craziest thing about the this pair is you said Josh seems to have the "director" role fo the two, but that's not really true. Ollie definitely has a goofy side that is showcased when he's in front of the camera, but he's typically behind the camera and doing a lot of behind the scenes "serious stuff." You see it here and there but he knows when to turn it on and off. Great pair.

[@WitchlightNW]

exactly what i was going to say

[@bennie_kanika]

Ollie is literally Josh’s second wife. Ollie says it himself all the time 😂 Gotta love their relationship ❤ EDIT: Even though Ollie claims that he is the first wife 😂

[@undarkwin]

legend has it (and Ollie would say so), he is the first wife XD

[@bennie_kanika]

@@undarkwin Oh you’re right, my bad 😅😂

[@DiogoChris]

Yayyy!! I'm so excited to watch this 😄❤ 8:23 You've just cracked it, Max. There's literally "You're an idiot" merch (don't know whether it was officially released or not) plus a compilation of Josh telling Ollie that he's an idiot 😂. He's told him that so many times. So the one time the tables turned, and Ollie said it to Josh, that was genuinely a big day 🤣

[@maxpbeaumont]

That's hilarious lol

[@MerlinSkySkySky]

I think the only time Josh said that Ollie was genius was on NCT's Mark & Jaehyun episode. You should watch it Max, the four of them were really wholesome.

[@SilverAlaunt]

I actually have Josh's voice saying "you're an idiot" overriding any other "idiot" I hear or think.

[@SilverAlaunt]

@@MerlinSkySkySky Eh... I think there's been a few more than than. Most happen on the JOLLY channel, though.

[@DiogoChris]

@@SilverAlaunt Same... Whenever someone says "You're an idiot", my mind immediately goes to Josh saying it to Ollie 😂

[@lmf221]

I honestly really envy Ollie for his confidence to throw himself into uncomfortable situations to learn and connect and grow. I have so much insecurity about getting things wrong that it feels crippling sometimes and Ollie really balances humor and sincerity in a really lovely way that I haven't seen a lot online.

[@BelieveInMyDaydreams]

You should definitely continue this series. Ollie has to use every kind of communication skill he has to survive without Josh in Korea.

[@yelenaignatova5491]

Thank you for reacting to more Korean Englishmen. These gentlemen have been a joy for a lot of people and years. It’s great to see your reaction. Again- thank you

[@cyann410]

Jolly is the most wholesome and hysterical channel on the internet.

[@deltenorio]

Yaaay!! I love that u gave them a chance

[@devakibhagwat6146]

it's funny that you said that because you have a foundation of love and respect in a bond like theirs, ''you can say, 'you're an idiot' '' when Ollie literally got Josh a tshirt or cap(i don't recall exactly) saying ''you're an idiot'' because he always says that to Ollie I hope you check out more of their stuff on Jolly as well, Ollie puts SO much effort into his gifts and into whatever he's preparing, in general

[@bluexy121]

I love Josh and Ollie so much if you’re looking for something hilarious I’d recommend checking out their video where they tasted da bomb hot sauce for the first time it’s soooo chaotic 😂😂😂

[@newman716ET]

Ollie in Korea shows how much communication is more than words. Never really thought about it until this series a few years ago even though we talk about nonverbal communication, you don’t really notice it until the verbal stuff is removed

[@valenciabegay3489]

I love Koreanenglishman! Josh and Ollie met their first day at college. They have been friends ever since. Actually Ollie is the brains behind the camera, editing etc. I hope you keep reacting because this and Jolly are so much fun to watch.

[@meshimeshi1362]

I love your reactions! I'm so glad you started reacting to Josh and Ollie stuff, I've been subscribed to their channel for years, this is fun

[@pogipabo2498]

I’m so happy about this! I honestly want you to react to what you want to watch, but it is excites me so much when it’s something/someone I like from beforehand Keep up the good work!

[@kirabealer7623]

Yayyyy! More Eric Nam!! I’ve been waiting for more Eric content 😭

[@mitsuko0xidized]

OMG!! MAX!! This was the series that made me a huge Korean Englishman fan: Ollie Alone in Korea series!! It was so easy to fall for these two. Their chemistry and brother-like friendship were so fun to watch and I think you totally hit the nail on the head when you were describing their dynamic. I really hope you do the rest of this series! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and expertise once again!

[@thekeytomyheart_]

I'd be totally down for you to see Eric Nam's interviews with other celebrities, especially one w/ the Black Panther cast

[@clanckytanky]

the world needs more max beaumont reactions to the sturniolo triplets

[@borahebangtan]

i actually gasped OUT LOUD when you mentioned 'the ability to say like- you're an idiot' @8:23 BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T KNOW THAT'S A THING OH MY GOD THAT'S LOWKEY FREAKY 😭😭

[@vivivante8125]

Ollie’s learning Korean journey is a masterpiece - you truly want him to win and he’s a master in communication if you pay close attention throughout their content.

[@ryoki84]

Oli is there for so much more than comic relief.💜 please get involved in their story- it would be amazing to see you react to and analyze them 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@rushceleveliganio2338]

Ilaw and hanggang sa huli is really the song that i love from them. Ilaw is about mental health and questioning ones existence and hanggang sa huli is about unending love 😊

[@azikyl]

would love more korean englishman reactions (ft anyone honestly) 😭😭

[@orangecrumb]

i loved the video! please do more eric reactions as well, hes amazing and so underrated!!

[@athosaegon]

OMG JOSH AND OLLIE yoooo i never expected you to react to them but this is AMAZINGGGG

[@concordia697]

Happy New Year! I recommend making a reaction to one of the coolest female vocalists in the world. Diana Ankudinova - Queen of Goosebumps - Diana received such a title for her extraordinary unique voice. Diana's best performances - Derniere Danse, Wicked Game, Can't Help Falling in You Each of these speeches garnered over a thousand reactions. Diana is in the TOP 3 world vocalists in terms of the number of reactions (about 15 thousand reactions).

[@concordia697]

Best performance: kzbin.info/aero/PLQJJG9TMmSOB4YXRUgdxA-H-Fo_sjB3kZ

[@alexandrawiseman167]

Thanks for posting this, Max!

[@LEE-zh6us]

You should continue this series!! It's so fun watching Ollie figure out how to get around Korea and communicate with strangers!!

[@claudisky777]

yeah i´m so glad you did this. They are so lovely!

[@sophiefuldauer]

I want to see more of these guys this was great!

[@undarkwin]

please, keep reacting to these series of Ollie learning korean!

[@catchthecat4699]

Please continue with this series!!! I've watched and rewatched it.

[@ayana6720]

more sturniolo reactions please! and consider reacting to “why don’t we” they are amazingggg

[@paulamusik2509]

I would love for you to watch the react to the whole series! And I love that you chose this one because as someone who is also learning Korean this is my favorite series by them! XD It is so nice to see Ollie’s character development throughout it.

[@hibasyed6539]

You should definitely watch the whole series! It's absolutely amazing 😍

[@albie5426]

Hi Max!! you should react to Seungkwan and Youngji's video! It's a really interesting video since they're both super entertaining and open to each other. Feel like you would really enjoy it!

[@Mrs.Fezziwig]

You really should check out the Jolly episodes where they take identical twins 'Rev Chris' & 'Major Charles' to a Korean army base. The four of them together is so funny that the people who couldn't understand a letter of English were crying with laughter. I didn't even notice what I was doing whilst knitting at the same time and had to start over, they pull you in so easily that you just can't help it. If you would like to see them in 'British' mode, look up their squirrel saga.

[@anetacajkova6656]

Love this! They have great dynamic, You should definitely react to some videos they have with Gabi (Josh's wife)

[@ekrmpotich]

This is an awesome video~ I think Josh and Ollie's great dynamic is one of the top reasons so many people like them! I would love to see you react to some of the British High Schooler's trip to Korea series on their channel! I think you would especially get a kick out of Max and Armand.

[@lucid1353]

you know i would like to see you react to some bad communication i think that would be interesting

[@lindsaynicole4812]

you should watch the rest of this series!! it's so fun!!!

[@candacerivera326]

YESS please keep the korean englishman/jolly content coming!

[@newman716ET]

I didn’t know you were in Korea for a year. Amazing!!!

[@nehan681]

[@maxpbeaumont]

[@harryr5785]

aaaaah I LOVE JOSH AND OLLIE😭❤️

[@tamarapulley6291]

Their episode on Eric Nam’s podcast would probably be a great video to get to know Josh and Olly better, if you don’t mind the length of it 😂

[@ults7678]

Yey more josh and ollie!!!! 🥹

[@michelle-se7rk]

[@christinamurphy81]

These guys got me through confinement. Check out Jolly, their other channel. Great stuff.

[@jezzalace700]

[@alidarlyvalenzuela]

You should react to them trying the best Korean street food!! It’s from the same series but you can see Ollie being much more confident!

[@devakibhagwat6146]

Yesss the Ollie in Korea series is just so good

[@Mks71999]

Please react to the videos with Ollie's daughter Juno, and their communication as father and daughter. Ollie is such a sweet dad and Josh is such a cute uncle 💜

[@meliahrussell382]

happy new year to you Max :) love your content! Just wanted to give you a quick recommendation! Not sure if you've heard of it but there's a Swedish Netflix show called "Young Royals" that has blown up over the past couple of years (it's amazing btw, highly recommend watching it if you want some good storytelling and great acting with subtle social commentary) partially due to the on and off screen chemistry between the two main actors, Edvin Ryding and Omar Rudberg. Edvin is very young (only 19 at the moment) but is a super experienced and gifted actor while Omar is an older, very seasoned singer/performer with this being his debut acting role, and i think that makes for a super fun and interesting dynamic that would be lovely to see you analyze at some point! If you get around to looking into them, here are a couple of my favourite interviews with them, with one being a longer more podcast format, one being a "Deep talk" between them about the show (That i think you would really enjoy dissecting their communication styles) and one being them trying some Venezuelan food together :). kzbin.info/www/bejne/opW9e6maeMt7gac kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKjdgIdoYt14aMk kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGe8dpZrjc1ghbs

[@stinkytoes4546]

more sturniolo triplets when

[@pinkerhero]

hey max, just wondering, how did you teach english without knowing korean? (genuinely, idk how that works)

[@maxpbeaumont]

lol great question. The students I taught all had a pretty good foundation in English. So, a lot of the classes I taught were conversational English and English communication skills. There were times where I had a "co-teacher" who was Korean, and helped with some translations. But overall, it seemed to work quite well!

[@tcch.hairband3338]

Maxxxxx when r u gonna react to more skz 😥

[@user2580_]

are you going to react to the triplets again soon ?

[@dianalest553]

[@smol_onigiri9644]

Please watch MBTI inside if you're interested in MBTI. It's a korean reality show where 16 personality types are put into the same house. It's on youtube. I'm curious how you would analyze the show.
