Running Man
Episode 282 – A Tale of RM In Winter [Si-Wan, Hong Yun-Hwa, Lee Hee-Joon, Ko Ah-Sung] **
You may have read my previous and impassioned blog entry on Running Man. Admittedly, it’s been a long while since I have adored a TV series as much as I do Running Man and better yet, to have so much material from which to catch up on. At the time of publication of this blog entry, the episode count stood at over 200 episodes!
With the duration of each episode standing at 1.5 hrs long, admittedly catching up with the series at this point while fun is still a monumental task. Worse still, I am the kind who absolutely loves to concentrate fully and remember details of the episode! From one behind-the-curve fan to another, I bring to you my ranking of the Running Man episodes I have watched so far (to be updated from time to time).
