New to 'My Driving Uncle'? Start With These 8 Episodes

If you are new to the 25-episode 'My Driving Uncle,' watching these 8 in order, from the teaser to the graduation, gives you the whole arc of the series.

If you are new to 'My Driving Uncle' and do not want to press play on all 25 episodes, these 8 in order are enough. Starting with a one-minute teaser, they cover buying a first car, the long drive from Seoul to Geoje, RESCENE members joining in, and the graduation, so the main arc of the series is all here.

The thing first-time viewers find most confusing is which episode to start from so that everything connects. This list picks only episodes with a clear place in the series and arranges them in viewing order, with each entry noting the runtime and the cars or people featured.

How we picked

  • Is it the start, the end, or a turning point of the series?
  • Do runtimes range from about a minute to over 40 minutes, so it is easy to pick and choose?
  • Does it show a point where the car or the people alongside change?

If you are short on time, watching numbers 1, 5, 6, and 8 first will still give you the rough storyline.

01

Anyone want to give me driving lessons?

<p>A short clip of about 1 minute 12 seconds that works more as a teaser opening the series than a full episode. It is light enough for a first-time viewer who just wants a feel for the tone. It will not tell you much on its own, so it is best to move straight on to the next episode right after watching it.</p>

02

I don't even know Hyundai cars — how am I supposed to drive?

<p>About 19 minutes long, this is where the real driving lessons begin. It is a good spot to get the baseline tone and format of the series, and it follows naturally after the first clip. It suits anyone who wants to see how the lessons are structured, and it also serves as a reference point for the changes in later episodes.</p>

03

"You failed the written test?" — driving lessons for an unlicensed idol (feat. VW Golf)

<p>A roughly 12-minute episode featuring a Volkswagen Golf. As the title suggests, it covers the stage before getting a license, so it shows best where the series starts. It suits viewers who want to watch just one short episode. Compared with later episodes, it makes the changes over time easy to notice.</p>

04

Anyone up for driving lessons with Woni?

<p>At about 42 minutes, this is the longest episode on the list, and it acts as a turning point in the series. It suits viewers who want to settle in for one long watch, and it breaks the pattern of shorter videos and takes you deeper into the show. Set aside enough time before you press play.</p>

Buying a first car for 8 million won, three months after getting licensed

<p>A roughly 17-minute episode in which he buys his first car, a compact, three months after getting his license. It is one of the key early turning points of the series and a reference for understanding the car changes later on. It also suits anyone curious about buying a first car, but check exact prices and terms in the video itself.</p>

06

Can a new driver make the 8-hour round trip to Geoje with no navigation?

<p>About 23 minutes of attempting the 8-hour round trip from Seoul to Geoje without GPS. It is one of the series' signature long-distance challenges, centered on the tension of a new driver finding his way on unfamiliar roads. It suits viewers who want the most memorable episode, though in real driving you should use navigation.</p>

How to choose

If you are just starting, watch numbers 1 and 2 back to back, and pick number 3 if you only want a quick sense of the mood. Choose number 5 for the first car purchase, number 6 for the series' signature challenge, and number 7 to see the members together. For a long, immersive watch, the 42-minute number 4 is the one.

Watching all of them in this order gives you the thread from the start to the graduation, and for anything more you can look up the surrounding episodes in the full playlist. Runtimes and details reflect the time of research and may change, so check the official channel before watching.
