Living in this stressful society, looking for something to laugh at have became a habit of mine. Back in June, my cousin introduced me to this show, running man. During one of my free time, i decided to go online to view the show. The broadcast for running man episode 100 was last Sunday, so maybe this is a great time to do a review. I need to admit that i am hooked to this show. However, please do not think that the reason of me not updating this blog for a month, I did not update this blog because i was making future plans for this blog.

They are Yoo Jae Suk, Ji Suk Jin, Haha, Lee kwang Soo, Kang Gary, Song Ji Hyo and Kim Jong Kook. In running man, there may be some guests in some episodes.

Thoughts and feeling.
It is a interesting show which is difficult to get bored of. While watching, we must always remember that although the show is not really scripted, part of it may not be real, so we should not take the show too seriously. Personally, i think some episode is less interesting compare to the others especially when there are female guests. Games tend to be less intensive when there are female guests. This is the only thing i don't like (I am sorry to those female guests fan but this is just my personal thoughts.) My favorite member among the 7 are Jae Suk, Jong Kook and Ji Hyo. Yes, they are the strongest among the running man. Jae suk make he show funny in my point of view (Of course the others make the show funny too, but I love how Jae Suk speaks.) I am amazed by how smart Jong Kook and Ji hyo are. Times they work together are just too cool! Ji Hyo is unintentionally funny at different times. Truthfully speaking, I am NOT a Kpop fan and i don't have any interest in Korea stuff so it was kind of unexpected that i am interested in this show. In conclusion, I recommend this show!

I agree with you about how smart Kim Jong Kook and Ji Hyo are. I am huge fan of KJK, and Jae Suk too. I feel sorry for Easy brothers because I think they can do much better on the show.
ReplyDeleteI want to say that everyone should watch this show.... Its so interesting.
The easy brothers have been doing great on the show. Not just winning games but actually being variety friendly and having a presence. They have also gotten better at the games, and pretty much all the running men can be considered a threat.
