Sooo worst episode, y/y? Confession: I didn't even finish it. I only watched the raw and turned it off 20min before the end so I'm not even sure what was the point of the episode or what were the teams.
This is my first time not watching an episode. Idk how to feel about that :S
EXO fans have taken over the Running Man tag on tumblr grrr

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

was TOP any good? should I watch it?

[walkingparadoxx.livejournal.com]

god no even TOP seemed bored.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

oh... gonna keep watching Ryo's drama then
thkx :3

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

So how's the drama? Should I watch it?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I love it but there's a lot of half naked Ryo so I'm biased
It's funny, the acting's good, and it's easy to watch. I wouldn't say it's "amazing" but it's really nice

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

you had me at "naked Ryo" tbh

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

well then, say hi to my new icon




he's only half naked though...

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

I love top but if this ep is as boring as everyone says then i'll pass.

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

Boring, not enough TOP.
I'm not a regular viewer of RM, but even I can tell they are running out of (fun) ideas.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched the show in a while but the biggest issue for me was always the length of the show. They need to make it shorter.

[yejun.livejournal.com]

This episode was truly boring.
The outcome was clear from the start and IDK why they cast people who they know can't participate in the show full out.

[dokyungsoo.livejournal.com]

i was bored to tears even though i love me some top. i can't wait for this week's ep with exo!

[chanxchan015.livejournal.com]

watched up to part 3 till i got bored. i wish the producers would just go back to the old format. the mini games are just messy most of the time and boring. bring back the bells hide and seek and the good ol' name tag ripping, oh! and super powers.
as everyone else was saying not enough TOP.

[snoaz.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched everything, but TOP and his costar look so cute together on that bike, even their clothes are matching. They look like newlyweds or something even though obviously they have this brother-sister scenario. She's super lovely though and seemed more at ease in the show than TOP overall.

TOP doesn't really like going on shows alone and he did often seem a little awkward or uncomfortable (I can only imagine what he was thinking about the getting-everyone-stuffed-in-the-car-challenge, knowing how he loves skinship ahum). But then he also seemed amused often, though mostly of the 'bewildered / bemused' category.

Wizard of Oz is a nice and cute idea, and sometimes it had me amused, though admittedly I also soon got bored and went to do something else.

[setsuna16.livejournal.com]

I finished the episode, but it was soooo slow.

The name tag ripping part was amusing enough, though. And I DID like seeing Kookie in a lion suit.

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

I thought the ending was really good, TOP was surprising quick, and je moon was adorable durning the car game. yoo jung was cute, too.

but yeah, not enough TOP. but, honestly I wasn't even surprised, we all know how awkward he is when it comes to things like this.

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

the games were boring, however i didn't find the overall episode that terrible since i managed to finish it. i think i was way too busy looking at top and anticipating what he'd do next. the ending was the best though, with sukjin and his stupid cape.

and gary, sorry, but he never looked uglier than in that tin suit. omg.

[aures.livejournal.com]

the put-people-in-the-car part was fun, other than that.. NOTHING was fun, i had a hard time finishing this episode - i mainly only did because of TOP's voice and just appearance in general
this episode was really really boring

[furcalor.livejournal.com]

Didn't finish this episode either. Probably the most boring episode since RM started. And poor TOP is just so awkward. He just brings awkward to a whole new level. Running Man is so not the variety show for him.

[tothechangmin.livejournal.com]

my friends and i couldn't stop talking about how boring this episode was. what a waste of top's appearance tbh :( i liked the car game though

[bunny-hime07.livejournal.com]

idk, maybe i'm just really kwangsoo biased, but the name tag ripping gets really boring when he's out so soon.

also i love sukjin as the try hard, fail!villain. i wish he had more screen time.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

I agree tbh. Because he's always in his own little world aside from the mission. It's kinda the same with Jae Suk and HaHa, they're doing comments and stuff. Jong kook and Ji Hyo are kind of go-straight/let's eliminate the others. Gary and Suk Jin are silly too but more hit or miss. That's why Jae Suk's comment in the jail really rang true even it was just a joke.

[neen-chan.livejournal.com]

I was watching this and was shaking my head when they said Ji Suk Jin was the wizard.. really? give him less air time ? :/ augh.. I also saw EXO are in the next epi.. I really don't feel comfortable watching it.. EXO fans make me super aware and it's just makes me a bit irritated.

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

EXo's fine in the ep, they're only on for the bell hide & sick race where they take turn hiding. But the stans are so annoying. I thought it couldn't get worse than when 2ne1 was on but boy was I wrong. It's calmed down a bit now but it was crazy. Ever since they were announced.

OMG OMG OMG EXO's gonna be on RM OMG OMG I can't breath I'm so excited bahahahaha!!! Give me a streaming link, does somebody have a streaming link?? Why is EXO still not on OMG PDs trolled us and used EXO for promo I hate them give us EXO! OMDSOGJSMOGJS EXOOOOOO! OMG Kris ahahaha OMG OMG OMG EXO are so cooooool! Has it been subbed, give me a link for the subbed RM, guys it just aired it hasn't been subbed yet be patient, omg ok but give me a subbed link, just the raw is fine, omg I can't wait for it to be subbed, omg EXO cuts, OMG so funny................. OMG OMG OMG EXO EXO EXO!!

SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!!!

[neen-chan.livejournal.com]

I felt they did alright, KJK with em' was priceless.



I KNOW, THANK YOU. That's basically the main reason that killed it for me.. like I wanted to give EXO a non-biased chance and the stans make it so fucking hard.. like I know EXO aren't douches, but omfg the fans seriously :/

[weerainbow.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched Running Man in so long!!! That's probably why I enjoyed this more than most. Some parts were boring but the first section until they had done the plunger car race was good fun and I enjoyed how the ep ended. Yoo Jung was great always talking about how she was going to win and not being persuaded to act like a scared hostage hehe. Suk Jin seemed to be having so much fun with his role in this episode actually, I liked seeing him a bit hyper!
Yoon Je Moon had his moments cracking me up too...I'm easily amused by things like how he couldn't find how to get in the back seat of the car and even though he was told there was a door he couldn't open it and still climbed in the front hahahaha.
TOP looked a bit lost through most parts but it was funny seeing him fail at grabbing Suk Jin's nametag ;) and the entrance with him and Yoo Jung on the bike was really cute.

[rawbabyoctopus.livejournal.com]

This was the most boring episode ever. I thought the concept was really pointless. Execution was weak from the start, Did the PDs even try? lol
TOP's awkward as hell. He didn't talk much. And Suk Jin was made the wizard so he couldn't be with the others / join the missions, he's on his own like, 80% of the time. Idgi. Everyone was kind of lifeless from my point of view. hahaa

Yoojung was so cute, though. Hopefully the next episode is better.

[xblackchristmas.livejournal.com]

no tie to wizard of oz characters except sukjin as evil witch and yoojung being called dorothy.

TOP had nothing and Jaemoon prob had thr most attention. Yoojung was adorable when she was hostage but she still didnt get t do much.


oh well, props to RM writers for trying. its hard to come up with scenarios every week

[ceecile.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's really a matter of who got the most attention but who was interesting and wasn't edited out tbh.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

It started really nice, I was laughing for the first ten minutes :D
But after that, it was really boring....such a shame, I did look forward for Yoojung (who basically only sat around) and TOP (who basically only stood around) to have some action.
