Running Man Episode Guide
Click on the episode number to access a link to the streaming episode with English subs. The uploads and subs are not of my making, they are found on a variety of sites that offer the show with English subtitles (and in no way do I take any credit /ownership of the linked videos, all credit goes to the site at the other end of the link. My motive in providing the links is to give fellow fans an organized and easily accessible way to watch Running Man). I have tried to stay away from sites that use adfly or another of the “earn a buck for this link” programs. While there are advertisements I made a conscious effort to steer clear of them as much as possible (sorry about the later episodes for non drama fever subscribers, this site can be a bit heavy on the ads for non subscribers).
As parting words, I urge you to do the following: please let me know if a link is not working- I will do my best to find a working version, let me know what you think of the episodes- love or hate, and more importantly enjoy! And run!

The episode where Jae Suk honed his water gun mastery skills (and had his pants pulled down in RMs infamous scandal). This was the only episode where I thought the cast went a little too far…the insults were, I hate to say it, insulting and not always in a funny way. Besides the last bully like challenge the episode was fun. Unfortunately there is the large black hole at the end that keeps me hoping that we never enter that territory again – just my opinion. While I do not blame the cast I think this challenge was a little too mean for variety. Lesson learned.

I thoroughly enjoyed the return to the games that made the early episodes of Running Man super addicting. Punishments, running balls, and the 1 vs. x game have made a come back as of late. The return to the roots of RM is welcome, due to the many format changes these games have not been played for some time. The Running Man cast working together was another highlight of this episode, any time they can combine their deviously trained minds into a team of awesomeness is pure viewing pleasure.

A strange concept made all that much stranger by the guests- a comedian and an actress. Parts of this episode dragged on (PDs, I know you meant well with the YJS- JSJ- JJH trio but this seriously became a broken comedy routine) while others were laugh out loud funny (the car challenge for example). Not perfect, not terrible, and pretty entertaining if you can forgive some of the games tendency to drag on.

Comments
The cast takes on the challenges that have been eating away at them for four years. Because this is Running Man the cast does not just watch flash backs and comment – instead they time travel back to the individual challenges and try their luck a second time. The challenges revisited are the 1st superpowers episode, the Sherlock Holmes episode, and 2 Yoomes Bond specials (the first one and the jail episode).
I really love this episode, but I realize I love it because I am a long time viewer. Objectively this is not the episode to show a newbie. For fans this is golden. I would give the episode five stars for sheer happiness as a fan, but I need to temper that with the fact that a newbie would be confused- plus all three challenges shown previously took up one episode each. In other words – this was rushed if you consider the challenges.

It is a race to win rent money as our cast of Running Man and their spirited guests take part in a bunch of random and hilarious challenges. The guests were refreshing (loved Guk Joo) but there was not anything here to make the episode amazing.

Monday Couple Moments: Gary and Ji Hyo come clean about how they have felt in the past and have a mini date.
Comments
The challenge- gather puzzle pieces to form a world map by taking part in challenges at different restaurants (featuring cuisine from different corners of the globe). The final challenge is a fusion cuisine cook off. Joo Won was so quiet but dedicated while Seok Cheon had a lot of attention called to him due to his sexuality during this episode. The episode was funny, and the Monday Couple bits were amazing for a starving shipper. At least one of the stars I give this episode is based on the Monday Couple moments alone.

Monday couple moments: Gary shows his jealousy when Heejoon compliments (and wrestles) with Ji Hyo
Comments
First generation idols appear alongside currently performing idols as they meet the Running idols- and have to compete to figure out the mystery of the triangle. The guest stars, specifically the first generation idols (which are seasoned in the world of variety) were a hoot. They kind of stole the show from the newer idols, but it would be hard to keep up with the likes of Heejoon and Jiwon. This episode was well paced, with great banter and interesting games. A contender for one of the top fifteen (maybe top ten) episodes of 2014.

The cast go celebrity hunting as they try to find the perfect teammate to join up with for an ultimate Alkkagi challenge. The first half of this episode is laugh out loud funny as the cast embarks on a recruiting mission. The latter half veers towards boredom as they play Alkkagi together. Even with an awesome crowd the sheer length of the game kills it. At least for me.

The actresses (plus Ji Hyo) are paired up with a male cast member, if they win challenges they have the ability to swap out who is partnered with who in the final name tag race. I seriously loved this episode – the high maintenance actresses and the frustration they caused was hilarious while the final name tag challenge was well played and exciting.

The cast of the drama My Lovely Girl guest star in an audition based race. Cast members are voted off of teams, chosen if their team loses a challenge. This episode was really difficult to rate because it had one of the best 15 minutes of Running Man I have seen all year (look towards the third portion of this episode – let’s just say the final audition piece is golden). Yet the rest of the episode was pretty predictable (in the guest’s favor) and the guests were not so amazing they left a huge impression. So basically – I am giving this 4 stars and at least 1 of them are because of my new favorite girl group DNA.

Monday Couple Moments: Gary forsakes Ji Hyo, but jealousy appears
Comments
Two families joined together due to marriage are forced to take part in games – all to get to the cut throat challenge of the in laws. Shin Min Ah is adorable, as always. This was a good episode in terms of guest / cast interactions – with only two guest stars it was not overwhelmed by others but not so focused on the cast members it became irrelevant to even consider the guests. In a way this episode kind of reminded me of old Running Man, though I have yet to really pinpoint exactly why (pacing maybe?!)

Seven super heroes awake from a cryogenic state – too bad they are sans super powers. Our super heroes have to take part in several missions to regain their lost powers and defeat the anti-hero once and for all. This episode was okay, just okay. It was disappointing that the heroes did not have a chance to actually use their powers. I get that the name of the game was teamwork…but when it comes to Running Man the most powerful teamwork can be displayed simply (like the Han River challenges, for example).

Something strange is going on when the Running Man cast and their guests get together to put on an orchestra performance. A villain seems to be in the midst of the orchestra as people start getting outed mysteriously. First I have to say I loved the ending to this episode. Second, Kim Ji Hoon was a guest star so I am completely and totally biased towards this episode. I would give it four stars, but I think one star is for Kim Ji Hoon alone so I will try to keep it conservative.

So, what do teenage girls think is the worst thing their crush could do? That is the question, and each challenge takes our teams closer to the answer. The flower boys were a little flat, but that can be expected given the fact they are rookies in the variety world. Kwang Soo partially made up for it as the team captain, and the remaining six members of the Running Man cast were uncharacteristically competitive in terms of taking the top spot from the guests.

Yooames Bond is back and this time he gets a helper. Who will be the chosen one and will the water gun win again? I have to say that I wasn’t particularly thrilled with this episode, and at first I wasn’t sure why. Maybe it was because this is the third time around for the YooAmes Bond concept, and while it was funny the first and second times it felt like old hat. As I watched the episode I wasn’t particularly taken by the concept either. I mean, it was funny, but I think they need to hang this concept up.

The New Years cooking challenge that was first undertaken in 2014 appears to now be a yearly event. I wasn’t a huge fan of the concept last year – a two part challenge where each cast member is paired up with a guest, learns a recipe from somewhere in Korea/Asia and then cooks the dish. Professional food critics and chefs then chose the winner. I think this year is marginally improved over the last year, partially because we have some of the cast in other countries and partially because the guests are a tad bit more entertaining this year.

It takes the right actress and actor to make or break a drama/film – or in this case a challenge. Ho hum, not the greatest thing Running Man has ever offered up.

The name of the game is record sales, the base calculations feature a slew of pop stars that have sold millions of records. The interactions with citizens is fun and as usual Joon Hyung is a hoot.

Million Seller Race Part 2 + Horror Special
Chuncheon Girl’s High School
Guest Starring: No guests
Broadcast Date 8/23/2015
Filming Date 8/4/2015
Rating ****
Comments
The million seller race continues. The second half of this episode is a completely different premise and in my opinion is more watchable than the first half. The cast are forced into a “haunted” house with their VJS in order to test their loyalty to each other. If anything watch this part!

The detectives are on the prowl as they work to complete missions that require a perceptive outlook. I found the ending rather anticlimactic…well other than the last few minutes that is!

The cast and guests are stuck on a desert island. If they cannot successfully win various games or collect their name tag pieces they have to spend the night. What makes this episode is the true intention behind it. Not to be missed.

Rest stops, forming their own teams, and a surprise twist make this episode a bit disjointed but full of laughs. Not the best episode I have ever watched but certainly not the worst. Plus MONDAY COUPLE.

After being together for years the cast should be able to agree on things, right? Maybe. See what happens when the seven cast members are locked in a room together until they can figure out how to vote the same way. This episode is priceless.

Nostalgia is the name of the game as the cast plus guests visit classic businesses, bring their own nostalgic items, and face off in a treasure hunt. I really enjoyed the name tag game at the end however the episode as a whole was nothing to write home about.

The cast are thrust into a very strange, strange world. Mini rooms, rooms for giants, mazes, and all around insanity appear at every turn. This episode was as funny as it was exciting. I am really in love with the way the Running Man PDs and writers have changed up the show lately.

Confused Gary is the best Gary. The production crew locks Gary in a glass cube and takes him around Seoul. The cast has only so long to find him – with an added, mystery incentive of course. I could watch episodes like this every day! Hilarious in the best way.
