The episode starts without Lee Kwang Soo, for the reason that he's busy with his drama filming schedule and that he will be coming late in the afternoon to join them. It's somehow funny looking at all of them because there's no one "standing out," since they're all almost the same height. The guests for this episode are Son Hyun Joo, Moon Jung Hee, and Jeon Mi Seon. I guess they went to Running Man to promote their new movie, "Hide and Seek."
It was then revealed that Kwang Soo wasn't actually going to be late filming Running Man, but he'll be playing a "lead role" in the first part of their games. The concept was "Lee Kwang Soo's Hide and Seek," to match the movie that the guests are promoting. Of course, Lee Kwang Soo was very happy to become a leading role in this episode because in all of his projects, he's just a side character. Although I don't really mind him being a side character because it really does suit him well and give a lot of energy to the characters that he play, I also want him to have a leading role in either a drama or a movie.
Before filming the first part of the games, each had their own numbers assigned to them to be placed at the back of their name tags. This is for the final game, wherein they have to guess who had which numbers. In the mini games that will be played before that final one, the teams who win would get clues on who has which number.
The first part of the games is where Kwang Soo hides from the guests and finish the same missions as them. There were three rounds: five stones, jegichagi, and limbo. I found all of their games similar to usual Filipino kids' games, where five stones is equivalent to jackstone, jegichagi to sipa, and limbo to limbo rock. I also played these games when I was a kid and it was fun seeing them play these also, even though they already played them in previous episodes. The screen shot above is Gary's face when he first won the first round. He was like that because he forgot that they were supposed to let Kwang Soo finish first, and got carried away in playing five stones.
This was a funny bit in the first round also because it's when Son Hyun Joo couldn't believe that Yoo Jae Suk took off with some of his stones. You see, they resorted into doing these childish stuff in order for the guests to leave the "game zone" because Kwang Soo needs to succeed first in playing.
This time, Kim Jong Kook also took off with Son Hyun Joo's stones because he's good at playing five stones that he might succeed first. It was really funny how they disrupted the guests when they were playing because it seemed so childish. However, they were all doing that for Kwang Soo and it's really sweet in the eyes of the viewers but really childish for the guests. May I add that it's so cute that all of Kwang Soo's hyungs and noona took care of him in that one segment? It's usually Kwang Soo who's being bullied but in this short while, he's being treated as a proper maknae.
The second round was jegichagi, and with much effort, Kwang Soo also succeeded while the other members made the guests run around the area so that Kwang Soo could do his task. In the third round, it was hard for the members to let Kwang Soo have a turn in the limbo so what they did was make a VJ do the limbo so that Kwang Soo, disguised as a VJ, could get a turn. He was under the name Soo Cheol and as you can see in the screen shot above, the two lady guests, Moon Jung Hee and Jeon Mi Soon, were cheering "Soo Cheol" on.
It was getting kind of weird and funny that the supposedly VJ Soo Cheol took many turns in doing the limbo yet the guests haven't really noticed anything. The fact that Son Hyun Joo knew Kwang Soo well was even funnier because he didn't notice that "Soo Cheol" was Kwang Soo.
With "Soo Cheol" deceiving the guests, all of the Running Man members won. The RM members each got a clue in order to find out who has which number. Son Hyun Joo got angry at Kwang Soo for fooling them, so he got hit many times.
In the next part of the games, they were divided into three teams. Whichever team wins the game would get the most advantageous clue, but the other teams would also get clues but of different levels.
The game to be played is hopscotch, but with the accupressure mats from hell. The mats have leveled up and according to the members, it gives a different kind of pain than those that they've used before. Again, it's a game which every Filipino kid played during their childhood (minus the mats) and the Filipino version is called piko.
The yellow team, which consists of Lee Kwang Soo, Moon Jung Hee, and Ji Suk Jin, won in this game of hopscotch. They get to have the most advantageous clue.
The third part of the games was only briefly shown where they had to disguise and do a mission in a market place. Kwang Soo becoming a village idiot was so funny (even if it wasn't really shown) that I had to add it here.
The final game was the number guessing game, where they had to sit in hanging chairs above water. Dong Wan FD will draw a number and in order of their arrival, the members had to answer who that drawn number was assigned to. If he/she gets it right, the person who has that drawn number would fall in the water. On the other hand, if he/she gets it wrong, he/she will fall in the water.
They had to base their answers off the clues of course, so it's still based on luck and what clues they got. When they were discussing about what clues they got, I was sure of what number one person had already and that is Kang Gary.
In this scene, They were taunting Lee Kwang Soo because they knew that he will fall down because they knew what number he had, and the person guessing also got it right.
Poor Kwang Soo falling down. The dream he had when the episode started (becoming the main character) was ruined.
Kim Jong Kook and Son Hyun Joo were the last contenders, but Kim Jong Kook failed to answer right and so Son Hyun Joo automatically won.
He won three gold rings, and frankly, I was disappointed that he didn't give the other two rings to the two girls who went with her on the show.
Overall, it was a normal episode which gave me a lot of laughter. It didn't disappoint me but it wasn't that amazing either. I was kind of expecting a lot from the Lee Kwang Soo lead role thing but I guess better luck next time, kirin! I expected mainly because Ji Suk Jin got his second main character episode again last week but this time, I was proud of him even though he didn't win unlike his Sherlock episode. I want to see more Running Man vs Guests though, wherein Running Man would win. Haha!
This time I'm excited again for the next episode because there are many guests, and it's a couple race! I expect it to be rowdy yet fun to watch. Until next episode~
