This week's Running Man guest is Miss A's Suzy! Before I watched the episode, I saw some comments about it saying that it was not satisfactory. One even mentioned that every time Suzy goes to Running Man, the concept of the games are not so good. Being a hardcore fan that I am, I tried to understand what was wrong with the episode that many fans deemed it to be boring or lame or whatever. So, I watched it, finished the hell out of it, and had fun! It wasn't boring at all because of the mystery going on. I'll therefore go on and talk about the episode, "Destiny's Pairs."
The men of Running Man are the six students of class 3-3 in Running Man High School. They all talked and pitched in some funny lines and predictions of what was going to happen.
Of course, poor Kwang Soo gets bullied for acting as the class president. The hyungs didn't take him seriously.
The only female regular, Ji Hyo, enters as a transfer student.
Ji Hyo then introduced another transfer student, the "nation's first love," Bae Suzy.
The class proceeded, with Suzy choosing to sit on the line with Jae Suk, Haha, and Jong Kook.
Go Dong Wan teacher enters the room and tells Kwang Soo to shut up because he was being noisy.
The two teams, Suzy's team and Ji Hyo's, played against each other in three games. The first game was throwing their shoes into boxes with their names on it. The second was couple arm wrestling, with one girl and one boy member of both teams going against each other together. The last game was name tag tearing, but the members of the opposite team should find a hidden "treasure" of a member of the other team in order for them to be able to tear that member's name tag.
The games ended and they were all able to graduate.

5 years later, they all went to have a reunion.
The mission is to find the "Destiny's Pair," and they have to bring a thing from their assigned rooms and validate whether they're the "Destiny's Pair" or not through a mirror.
Suzy and Jae Suk tried to ask whether they were the "Destiny's Pair" or not.
Unfortunately, they were not. However, after asking if they were destiny's pair, the mirror told them something: "If three persons or more group together, someone will die." The mirror afterwards allowed Jae Suk and Suzy to ask a yes or no question. The question they asked was "Is that someone among the two of us?" The answer was no. The pair concluded that they were exempted from that rule.
I just wanted to include this screen cap of the easy brothers because they're so funny together.
Suzy, Suk Jin and Kwang Soo tried to group together, but then no one died or got out so they concluded that the person that would be eliminated wasn't one of them. Before that, everyone was so afraid of getting out that they ran whenever they saw the threat of becoming three people together. Then, the trio experimented again and their victim was Jong Kook. Indeed, when Suzy, Suk Jin, Kwang Soo, and Jong Kook were in the same room, an announcement was made and Jong Kook was out. "I told you, one would die if there are three or more persons together." The voice was so creepy and I was really surprised with what happened.
It was then revealed that Suzy and Ji Hyo were the "Destiny's Pair" and that they were ghosts even from before. Their mission was to get all the Running Man High School guys to be out according to what was assigned to them (eg. having three people or more group together). Suzy was also the one who planned to make Jong Kook out by making the three "people" together in one room.

Go Dong Wan teacher didn't entertain Ji Hyo's question back then because she was a ghost.
Haha, for example, got out because he screamed.
Kwang Soo got out because he looked behind him.
Suk Jin was out because he stepped his two feet on the ground.
At this time, Gary and Jae Suk knew that the two girls are ghosts, and the only way for them to win was to stick an "R" sticker on the two girl ghosts' name tag. I swear, the two were also creeped out by the twist of events.
Unfortunately, Gary still got out because he was sprinkled with water.
Jae Suk, on the other hand, got out because he was ugly. Hahaha! (They just needed to remove Jae Suk's glasses)
The two lady ghosts won, and creepily went away.
Now for my reaction. The concept of the episode was fun, and since it is summer, they had to have a horror special. I admit, it was a bit creepy at first, when I still didn't know about Ji Hyo and Suzy being ghosts. The rules were perfect for a horror movie, where they were not allowed to go in groups, not allowed to look behind, and not allowed to scream. These three rules were announced before revealing what the real plot is all about that's why it was so scary at that time. However, the creepiness got into a whole new level when it was revealed that Ji Hyo and Suzy were ghosts and that they didn't really exist back then and now. I was like "whaaaaaaat?! that's genius!" I really praise the writers for coming up with this episode's plot. One thing that was negative about this episode was the games. I think it lacked the competitive side of Running Man and that's something that all the viewers enjoy. No matter, the plot made up for it and it was still a fun episode.
Next week's guest will be 2NE1! The second celebrity that I want to be on the show! (the first one being Yoon Eun Hye) Props to YG and Running Man team for letting the girls be on my favorite show. Weeee!
