Run for the Money

Show is fun to watch. Battle royal of kinda police and robbers or wolf and sheep that kids play (or used to). The contestants are all famous or celebrities from Youtube to tv show, or music and sport. The participants are competing or rather running from "Hunters" to win a prize money. Weird to find that the prize money is a little $8-35k for famous people (I guess in Japan, celebrities aren't paid that much for their appearances or performances). Anyway, you'll find rooting for courageous candidates and wish other annoying candidates to get caught. The show is also full of suspenses. 4 episodes are easy to watch. However, I wished they didn't cut off all the funny interactions. Hope to see another season. Promising show from Netflix.

Watched with kids, we loved it! Really great show! Huis ten Bosch is a nice place in Japan. The scenery is great, there is a lot of fun and jokes in the show. The kids were thrilled and hoped for Minho to win. All the elements for a good show are there. We are waiting for season 2 to start. Hope they will give some of the "old" players a special role like being a special hunter or something. Boss hunter for 15 minutes would be nice to see Minho and some of the others again.

It's pure entertainment and fun. There are snitches, leavers and people who go on for too long. If you just want some entertaining program without constraints this is the show to watch.

The dialogue is so freaking annoying. As you know, contestants must run from the hunters. One guy said "if they come I'm DEFINITELY running!" Cringe. I immediately shut the show off. Only watched like 5 minutes. Reading the other reviews, I'm even more certain I made the right choice. I feel like a lot of high reviews on this are fake or I don't know what. With. Japanese game shows you can never be sure. From what I can tell, a lot of the show is fake or scripted since the Hunters don't actually try as hard as they can. Really disappointing, at least try to not make it obvious that it's fake/scripted.

Ok it's not a new format. This is the same as Fukasku's epic Battle Royale and Fortnight and such-other 'Battle Royale' programmes. It's well-made and it's more refreshing than most TV.

It's fun to watch for just under 4 hours. The runners are immaculate and fast and have to chase the desperate contestants. Then there's various spanners thrown in to make it more interesting.

It's thoroughly enjoyable TV and I hope there's more of this even though it's a repetitive formula. I quite liked the diversity of the contestants. It could do with some older people though.

Choi Minho is the standout performer and clearly due for greater things. I'm looking up his film history and I am going to try and find his movies as he was very enduring and calm and professional.

The chemistry of the players worked very well and it made for rewarding TV. It gest a strong and commendable 8/10 from me. Great work.

Over the top, but so entertaining because of that.

Good camera work, interesting participants, didnt seem to be rigged.

The clock keeps counting down without time gaps.

Sure they will have edited it a bit different than the chronological order now and then, but really feels like you're there witnessing this awesome game.

Keeps you on the edge of your seat and mixes things up regularly with interesting twists.

Sometimes teamwork is needed, sometimes you are not sure if you can trust your team.

Great game, great show.

Also loved the location!
