The Best Running Man Episode Part I

It looks like I cannot stop my interest with Korea thingy. I am Running Man fans, actually it was not addicted but it is. The last several days I downloaded and watch the variety show that is well-known in Korea. The popularity of the casts is no kidding in Korea and when they went to abroad, many fans waited at the airport. In every episode, the creative team had different concept and as audience I will not bored to watch it. In the beginning, I just downloaded the episode that has popular guest stars who I know but I think I am going to download all of episodes. So, I will make my list about the best or favorite episode according my opinion.

1. Episode 27 (DBSK)

In this episode, the running man did not know DBSK would be guest star. This location for their shooting was a Seoul Art Center. The casts had to wear opera costume like cloak and mask. They should found the guest star/enemy (DBSK) to complete their mission before DBSK members found a ball that had been written the cast names to eliminate them. DBSK member was helped by people who were wearing the same costume like them and the Running Man cast. Through episode, the tension between 2 teams increased and they must find who the enemy quickly and rip their name tags off. It was so funny, I never be silent of had flat face when watched this show. How the DBSK members, Yunho and Changmin tried to find the ball and helped by people in the opera building. Of course the cast members were hard to find them because all of the people in the building wore the same costume, include staff. The cast only speculated by their own opinion without knew any clue about the guest. Actually there are several missions in this episode after the first mission about finding the guest was finished. I am sure you are going to laugh when watch this episode.

2.      Ep 38 (Yoomes Bond)

This was the first episode without guest star that I downloaded. It was because the forum on internet said this episode recommended to be watched. Ok, I downloaded, watched, and surprised I give the big applause for the creative team who could make the amazing episode. This shooting location was in Seoul Medical Center in Korea.  The casts and people there wore white costume like people in laboratory or doctor. The casts were asked to find the guests that actually were not. In the entire episode, they were confused and fooled because they did not know what will be happened while one by one they were eliminated without their ripped name tags off.  It turns out, there was a spy between them who spraying water gun in their names tags and it signed they will out from the games. Who was the spy?

3.      EP 79 (Sherlock Homes)
 

I admit it, I never watched Sherlock Holmes or read the books but I love everything about detective. Maybe I will try to watch it later. When I wrote this writing, I just watched the show and it made me surprised because the plot is unusual. Club Harmony Cruise Ship was their location for shooting.  The seven cast of Running Man were ruled as detective along with two guest stars. They wore detective costume like Sherlock Holmes did. Their mission was to find a sapphire blue necklace that lost individually because if they got it, the necklace would be given for his/her. But suddenly, in the middle of the shows there was a shock part. One by one was eliminated. The others who were still survived confused and they accused each other especially for two guest stars who looked suspicious. It turned out, there was a book and a card that had clue why the other casts were eliminated. In the card, there are several numbers that showed page numbers in the book and clue who was a culprit between them. Are the two guest stars? Or the casts? This episode was unpredictable and believe me I was really serious and also confused, too. Even I tried to solve the mystery of the case. You will know behind the scene of this scenario when you watch until the end.

4.      EP 80 (Charlie’s Angels)
 

Can I also say I never watched this movie? Well, forget it. There were three women who became guest star in this episode. They were ruled as Charlie’s Angel and also hid their identity as common citizens. They were asked to complete mission to rip the name tags off of Running Man cast. There was exception for their boss, Charlie. The Angels did not who was Charlie but absolutely he/she was among the casts, so, they had to be careful in order to do not rip their name tag boss off. In order to not look suspicious, the plot of this episode was blind date and there were several games to make them win in the end of the show. Also in the end of the show, the audience would know who the Charlie was.

5.      EP 91 (Yoomes Bond)
 

This episode was still related with EP 38 but with different plot. This was a survival game, so the seven casts of Running Man were jailed in prison for 6 hours, except Lee Kwangsoo for 60 hours. They were sued because the weird and funny things. Yoo Jae Suk because he always uses a thigh jeans, Song Jih Hyo for her bare face, the ugly face for Kang Gary, Kim Jong Kook because he was too over reaction when Yoo Eun Hye’s name was said, Jik Su Jin because his bad acting, HaHa because his embarrassment toward the female guests and the last Lee Kwang Soo because his betrayal, fearful, and unfortunate. No wonder Lee Kwang Soo was jailed for 60 hours. They were placed in separated prison and they must solving code in order to be getting out from prison. But, suddenly when they had solved the code and get out, they must go back to their prison again and they did not know what was happened. So, why were they must back to jailed again? Was there a person who make them like that?
