[Thoughts] Running Man Gets Funnier

I've watched some of the later episode of RM and I must say, it's downright hilarious!

The funniest that I've seen so far is Episode 7 where they had Jo Kwon of 2AM, the girl from TARA, and Yong Hwa of CN Blue. I liked the hunter-prey concept where one team had to complete a mission while the other team tracked them down to stop them from doing so. In this episode, Jaesuk's team was the prey while Jongkook's team was the hunter. The bells that Jongkook's team had on their shoes definitely added thrill to the chase. Imagine the terror of hearing the sound of the bell getting louder and louder... telling you that the hunter is getting closer... Imagine the horror of seeing the hunter (especially when it's Jongkook) out of the corner of your eyes... without looking back you run for your life (well, just for the name tag)... The only way out is an elevator... you frantically press the buttons while wishing that he didn't see or hear you... you silently pray for the elevator to close... but it doesn't... You look up to see why... Kyaaah! Jongkook's blocking the door... Haha. That's what happened to poor Jaesuk in this episode and it's one of the funniest RM scenes I've ever watched.

At this point, I'd say they've rightfully claimed their spots as the perfect mainstays of the show. Additional members could still fit in, I guess, but the people who make up RM right now are perfect. The show is also at the point where they can survive even without guests.

I can see some format changes in the future but I hope the cast stays the same.

PS: Eyeing Haha and Gary. I think I'm going to like them over the course of this show.

[Flavor of the Month] October

1. Kim Jongkook

I first saw him in one of the later episode of a Korean variety show called "Family Outing". My first impression of him wasn't positive. I'm not really a fan of men with bulky muscular bodies so his muscles sort of grossed me out.

After watching one episode, I decided to watch everything starting from the very beginning. Eventually, he grew on me. The muscles disappeared into the background and all I saw was Kim Jongkook, the balladeer, the tough-looking but sweet guy from "Family Outing".

After watching the show, I got into the hobby of looking for more stuff about him. I listened to his songs and watched his past and present tv appearances. Kim Jongkook's songs are amazing. His voice and the melody are a perfect match. Listening to his songs makes my insides melt.

2. Yoo Jaeseok

For me, humor is more important than looks. Yoo Jaeseok may not have the sexiest jawline, his mouth may be protruding a bit too much, and he may look like a grasshopper but he delivers the wittiest punchlines and has the best timing among all the Korean comedians I've ever seen.
