Running Man

I watched episode 1 until the last episode, every episode brings you to laugh, they are legend in variety show industry.

I hope running man will lasts forever.

Running Man is a South Korean variety show that is quite popular around the world. It is on games. Members are Song Ji Hyo, Yoo Jae Suk, Kim Jong Kook, Haha, Kang Gary, Lee Kwang Soo, Ji Suk Jin and Joong Ki(which is now currently not on running man). To me, it is quite funny and interesting. I am constantly watching it and I most likely have kind of watch finish all the episodes(except for some I overlooked) and waiting for new ones

I've always been a fan of Running Man, even after Gary left. I love each members and it doesn't really matter if they're funny or annoying, all of them have their own roles and it's a perfect mixture for the atmosphere when they're playing games. I heard this show is getting less rate recently and thinking about the show might get cancelled is hard for me to accept. And so I'm trying my best to leave the best review for this show, I don't want it to disappear. Even if I'm too old to watch it, I'll still enjoy it because it is part of my childhood.

No need to hide the fact that a lot variety shows have evolved since Infinity Challenge (Muhan Dojeon). And to be honest I do think Running Man was inspired by it. The chasing game, action-blockbuster style was first done on Infinity Challenge but of course, Running Man bring their own creativity to the table.

The show started out with 7 Running Men but added Song Ji-hyo as the 8th but then Song Joong-ki left and so it's still 7 members till this date.

This show is certainly a must watch. It dwells in humorous psychological battle and then comes the physical war and in between you've got romance/bromance and family.

The show also offers themed-episode to match the current trending movie or drama. They've also pay tribute to all-time favorite movies which makes me find myself reminisce.

The solid performance from the Nation's MC, Yoo Jae-suk has brought the show to a new level in variety world. Kim Jong Kook is certainly a tough guy on the outside but vulnerable on the inside. Haha with vast variety experiences has no problem standing proud with his wits. Ji Suk Jin first attempt at outdoor variety show does have it flaws but he's done great given his age. Newcomers Lee Kwang-soo, Kang Gary and Song Ji-hyo are not afraid to go all out and give their everything to entertain the viewers.

I know that Running Man started out with determination making their own flavor and style but recently I find most episodes a bit repetitive and lost it poise. Members' characters has become stagnant. Since everyone is now doing more jobs (thanks to Running Man popularity), it feels like they don't try to make improvement in this show. I know it's not easy to make people laugh but I wish something more and new on other departments; action, romance.

I give a 9 because there's still room for improvement. I hope Running Man will survive just like IC and continue to save me from my weekly distress.

I have watched every single episode of Running Man. It is now an essential part of my Sunday routine. I am laughing with tears on almost every episode (most often courtesy of Kwangsoo). I first started watching the show because of the idol guests, but soon I found myself tuning in every Sunday even if I had no idea who the guests are. The cast members are pure gold. Each one of them has their own narrative and personality but they shine the brightest when they interact with each other. They've provided us with so many awesome pairings - SpartAce, Easy Brothers, The Betrayers Club, Tiger Moth Siblings etc etc. Gary's departure is 2016 and the near cancellation in 2017 hit the fans very hard, but I'm glad Running Man managed to bounce back and still have decent ratings in Korea (although I think the international audience is the one keeping it still alive). I dread the day Running Man is over. Sundays will never be this fun again.
