Episode 77 was awesome! IU's morning call was so so so cute. It was also impressive how well she was singing live, although she did have the backing track to help her. Sang Wook's laugh never stopped being funny. I love how Jaesuk is able to tease people just the right amount to make them more funny and bring out their character, but without actually annoying them. Blue team seemed to only be in the episode about a minute before the finale. I guess Suk Jin is always destined to be edited out.

The last one was slightly delayed, so to keep this on track, here's one for today. Episode 10: Location: National Museum of Contemporary Art Guests: Cha Tae-Hyun (Actor), Yoon Se-Ah (Actress) 1 2 3 4 5 6 Another very cool location to film in. After the usual beginning ribbing, the first game seems to have been picked based on the cast hurting themselves a couple of episodes back, but the auction format of it works pretty well since it forces everyone to overbid badly. It’s also the first appearance of Jong-Kook’s manager who crops up unexpectedly now and then. Also what I’m assuming is an interesting cultural difference, with black knight cropping up as what I’d call a white knight in that situation. And Gary’s offer being immediately rejected was great. On with the bell hide-and-seek. I suspect someone may have got on to them about it being a museum, either that or they’re being careful for Jong-Kook again, because they’re a lot more respectful of the “no running” rule. It’s also the introduction of the hiding boxes, which they use occasionally when there’s not a vast amount of room to hide in the chosen location. That’s fine though, since the speed walking chases are probably even funnier because of it. And the twist to their mission that the hiding team weren’t expecting is a very good idea. The blue team’s hopes resting on, of all people, Suk-Jin as the last person to get caught is probably down to the inability to run, and Jong-Kook suddenly appearing in frame to thwart his getaway is no the less funny for being expected. Then there’s the regular cup of tea round, this time with the deciding game being a drawing one. As you’ll see from this and later games, there are some good artists in the cast, and some godawful ones. Also there’s the opportunity leapt upon by the rest of the cast to further push Gary and Ji-Hyo together, which results in much adorable awkwardness. Jong-Kook suddenly being unchivalrous when it came to the coffee was something I didn’t see coming and so really funny, even if he did change his mind after. And finally they end up changing the rules for the punishment, but it has probably the funniest results of the punishments so far, largely because of the crowd they end up drawing. Cha Tae-Hyun is a pretty awesome guest on this one.

Suk Jin and Jong Kook in the elevator is probably the hardest I ever laughed watching this show. For those of you who might find the male guest in Ep 10 familiar, he's the lead from My Sassy Girl.

My problem with this ep was that the venue sucked. No good hiding places, small enough that everyone heard everyone coming, and no one could run. Other than that it was pretty good. Jongkook usage voucher was hilarious, as was everyone abandoning Gary and Jihyo and leaving them together. I think my favorite part was where they showed Gary's photo and Jihyo was randomly in there for no reason, and Jihyo was like  in the photo like even she had no idea what the hell she was doing there.Edit: Also I love the way the producers keep coming up with ways to randomly screw people over without mentioning it in advance, like putting loving alarms on the paintings.

Revenant Threshold posted:Also what I’m assuming is an interesting cultural difference, with black knight cropping up as what I’d call a white knight in that situation. It's actually just a substitute, like a pinch hitter. It's nothing to do with coming in to save the girl or anything. The female equivalent is a "black rose," I believe. The auction was delightful. It wasn't even a game, just everyone being their regular goofy selves and having a great time goofing around, and somehow it got a team a running man ball. It's such ulfiltered fun and it makes me jealous that I don't have that. I don't think a person will ever know what true joy is unless they've been on a Korean variety show. Even though it was another "slowed down" version of the chase game, it worked a lot better this time around for me. I both loved and hated how the painting was RIGHT THERE and Tae-Hyun didn't see it, and how he was literally boxed in by the sound of the bells for so long. And the end with Suk-Jin and Jong-Kook was just glorious.

I liked how Cha Tae Hyun was hiding in the box and his struggle to decide whether he should leave the box or not. I liked that time when he tried to escape only to run into Jong Kook's arms and he collapsed in fear. I also liked how Jong Kook was happy with his cup of coffee during the drinking game only to despair when Gary used his voucher/

One episode that was commented on was around the early 20s where the cast is at a ski resort for the New Year and the guest is just an insufferable rear end from the beginning, not allowing the cast to do their opening. The general dislike from this thread and the opening minutes convinced me not to watch the episode.

I just finished the restaurant arc and I thought it was my favorite set of episodes of the show so far. Reminded me a lot of Infinity Challenge, with just the right balance of humor and sentiment and genuine challenging work. I actually like all of the cast members at this point. Too bad the show ended.

Two observations: 1. Yong hwa (ep. 17) clowning everyone in the reverse 1:9 game is definitely the highlight of the show so far. The look on the faces of the group during the revelation of what happened was amazing. 2. The "I sweaarrr" thing is far and away my favourite running gag. It's never not funny.

Made my way through three episodes and I'm pleased with what I've seen far. The guest for the ski lodge episode that everyone seems to hate was actually a very famous korean slapstick comedian so it might be for sentimental reasons but I didn't think it was that bad. The translators must have had a vendetta against him because they make him out to be a complete rear end when it's not the case at all. It's a bit sad to see him trying to use slapstick which obviously went out the window in the late 90s but I didn't find him unbearable.

Episode 11: Location: Seoul Central Post Office Guests: Jung Yong-Hwa (2nd App.), Kim Jae-Dong (Comedian) 1 2 3 4 5 I’d point out something funny about the opening, but I’m entirely distracted by Ji-Hyo in glasses. So we’ll skip past the first example of Gwang-Soo’s framing and onto another first, the 1 vs. X challenges. Simply put, one of the cast or a guest believes that they’re all taking part in one game; all the others have a different task they have to do without the victim noticing. It’s the first time they have this kind of major deception on the show, and it’s certainly not the last; we’ve got the Spy episodes coming up too, but that’s for then. It’s amusing to me to think that something which plays a big role in the show came originally from (as described here) the running gag of loving with Gary. With that said, we have the fake stamping challenge. One of the joys of the deception tasks is the cast’s utter inability at times to keep a straight face. This is also the first episode with the thief card game (huh, a lot of firsts in this one), which also works pretty well by essentially being based around the usual ribbing the cast gets on with. Suk-Jin’s baldfaced lying before the jenga game, only backing down when threatened, was pretty great, likewise the brief return of (un-scheduled, anyway) loving with Gary, and it later backfiring on Jae-Suk. And then a game I’ve actually played (hooray for long car journeys), though with the first and last letters rather than the syllables necessary in Korean, which also inevitably descended into arguments about the rules. I like also that for the last couple of rounds they don’t tell us where the thief card goes, so you can try and guess yourself on their reactions. Last up we have the hide and seek mission, this time with more running and more hiding spaces. Yong-Hwa continues to be a beast at these games, and Jae-Suk being led to believe he was being let go was priceless. And Jong-Kook is yet again incredibly annoyed at losing. This is the other usual alternative with the Running Balls; some episodes the whole show is a team game, so the balls are simply team balls, but when there are individual games they use individual balls to decide the losers, in this case with Yong-Hwa and Ji-Hyo aptly rewarded for basically winning the hiding task alone. Finally, more hot pants.

Haha, I love Kim Jaedong. KJD: Whoa you mean this is really a real game!?  Everyone: Well, you don't normally play it with postage boxes... I'm not some kind of high fashion type, but I'm not so sure Jihyo's plaid pants + print vest + glasses + bowtie was a good idea. And as we'll see shortly, Sukjin and KJK will continue to argue over the results of that rock paper scissors game for like the next three episodes or something ridiculous like that.

One thing I like about the 1 vs X games: the use of the Inception soundtrack whenever they rewind time. It makes what amounts to playing a prank on someone feel incredibly epic and cinematic. Also, hooray for Yonghwa being back! He once again plays the hero.

I love that an entirely new game concept came from the fact that Gary gets hosed with, and I'm legitimately surprised at how well they all handled the challenge this time. I loved how Ji Hyo marking Gary was misunderstood as playfulness and didn't give anything away, and actually ended up helping others to get their marks on. The large Jenga game was great, if only for the brief moments of them holding the blocks others were trying to remove. Syllable game was great for Suk-Jin's ongoing story about Sergeant Im as an effort to not be eliminated, and Yong-Hwa's constant insistance he was still in the game after getting eliminated, and Kwangsoo's last-minute save from not repeating a word. Loveable cheating jerks all around. Oh, and the Thief game as a framing device for these sub-games is great.

This really has to be one of the best episodes. I love it when they spend a little less time running and more time just pissing about. So many great sections, but also so many hilarious little parts. Suk Jin's constant cheating, Yong Hwa's revival attempts, Jae Suk holding his arms by his side after Haha tickled him, Ji Hyo losing immediately in the word game with her adorable blank face.

I don't know much Korean beyond the usual oppa/saranghae/ottoke that rubs off on you if you spend enough time with this stuff, but couldn't you just shout out any following syllable and odds are it could be a valid word in that game? Especially playing at only two syllables. Then again these are words to these guys, not just sounds. And it's a working language.

There are definitely easier syllables to respond to (ie wouldn't take you more than a split second if you were a native), but there are also some syllables that are bloody impossible. Ballet is divided into two syllables (bal-let) and drat the second "let" because it's crazy hard to think of something that starts with that syllable.
