Some of you may already know, but Running Man has been my favorite Korean variety show for the longest time.Sadly, it ran into trouble this past year, and even faced possible cancellation.The ratings had dipped, Gary left, and two other members (Kim Jong Kook and Song Ji Hyo) were suddenly going to be replaced.
Ive always loved this show, from the times that Song Joong Ki and even After Schools Lizzy were active members of it. There is just something about the teams chemistry and the hilarious games that make the show enjoyable and easy to watch. If you dont already know, the shows format usually consists of having celebrity guests appear on the show in order to participate in a variety of different games, usually resulting in either a prize or punishment. The games, punishments, and prizes have, of course, changed over the years, and so have some of the members. Yunho and Changmin are disguised as phantoms among a large indoor crowd, and must find the hidden objects with the RM members names on them in order to eliminate them. Naturally the RM members must find the guests before getting eliminated. It is one of the more intense and funny guest searches of the show, particularly because of Changmins fearful facial expressions whenever he almost gets found out in his hiding places. The other great portion of this episode was the drawing relay. It becomes quite clear that both Joongki and Yunho are terrible drawers, and for all you fans out there, this is the infamous rhinoceros doodle episode. However, Jong Kook is very close to Yunho, and despite the fact that Yunhos piss poor drawing skills cause them to lose over and over again, Jong Kook is too bashful, and devoted to his friend to speak up, leaving the other members baffled and irritated. From FD Dong Wans hilarious appearances and the diet karaoke race, to Kim Byung Mans humor in general, this episode was lethally funny and unforgettable. The Running Man members mistake FD Dong Wan for Byung Man way too many times to count and each time they chase after the young wig-sporting maknae, road runner sounds are used, making the scenes funnier than you ever thought possible. Next is the karaoke diet race, where the teams must battle it out for the highest score. Each microphone is attached to a piece of exercise equipment, one being a heavy weight; another, a pull up bar; an elastic resistance rope () that must be pulled up in order to get the microphone close enough to the mouth; and lastly, one where a split is necessary in order to even reach the microphone. Running Man Filmapik Full Of CharmHes so tiny, yet so bright and full of charm and good energy. If you havent seen the original Yoomes Bond, can you really call yourself a fan of Running Man This was the very first episode to feature Yoomes Bond as a main protagonist who was challenged with eliminating his foes (the other RM members) with a water gun. The other members, unknowing of his identity, are tricked into searching for a fake guest. It was excellent watching the members go from unsuspecting to paranoid, and even funnier watching YJS get cockier and cockier as the episode went on, but also more nervous at the same time if that makes any sense. I love how he really got into the role, and the interactions and shock by then end when his identity was revealed were priceless. The second part of the episode is just as hilarious, with the stress test between Jae Suk and Jong Kook providing many laughs to go around. One of my favorite moments was when they pulled down Jae Suks pants and shoved a chicken leg in Jong Kooks mouth to keep him from talking.
