Don't walk, run!

Running Man (Korean: 런닝맨) is a South Korean variety show; a part of SBS's Good Sunday lineup, along with Kim Byung-man's Law of the Jungle 2. It was first aired on July 11, 2010. This show is classified as an "urban action variety"; a never-before-seen new genre of variety shows. The MCs and guests complete missions in a landmark to win the race. It has garnered attention as being the come-back program for Yu Jae-suk, the main MC of the program, after leaving Good Sunday's Family Outing in February 2010. Airing at the 5 p.m. KST time slot for most of its run, Running Man switched to the second part of Good Sunday (which happened May 22 and May 29, 2011 with Kim Yu-na's Kiss and Cry but was quickly switched back due to low ratings) beginning May 6, 2012, airing after Kim Byung-man's Law of the Jungle 2 and airing against KBS2 Happy Sunday's 1 Night 2 Days Season 2 and MBC Sunday Night's I Am a Singer 2.

Препоръчвам на всеки запален фен на разнообразното и забавното било то корейско, музика (не само глупавият к-поп), но и по драмите, Рънинг мен е най-интересното шоу, което съм гледал и гледам (а съм попадал на много). Перманентните участници са страшно забавни и те карат, макар и да си на десетки хиляди километри разстояние - да се потопиш в атмосферата на динамичните "мисии", обрати и напрежение (и опити за "свалки" м/у хубавите девойки и култовата личност ХаХа). Почти във всеки епизод има гости - актьори, комедианти, певци или цели групи. На два пъти предаването се провежда във Китай и Тайланд, което допринася за разнообразието.

п.с. "Рънинг мен" - няма да ви доскучае !

10000/10

Звучи интересно. Може да дръпна няколко епизода да разбера повече за шоуто.

Това е най-доброто шоу измисляно НЯКОГААА .
Супер забавно е, супер интересни игри има, а понякога ми се иска и аз да взема участие в тях.. А като дадат Sparta-kook с тези камбанки дето дрънкат, чак ми се разтупква сърчицето ще речеш че мен гонят.
А от онези предизвикателства със снимките, където Gary си спечели прякора Peaceful Gary... Още като се сетя, почвам да се хиля като луда.
Сериозно, това е едно супер готино предаване, макар и да съм назад с епизодите, супер много ми харесва и който иска нещо разнообразно, да го гледа.
