Risking your life for money is beyond crazy though, even in 2025, what use is it for you if you are dead? If someone told you to fall off a huge cliff and they would give you money only if you were alive, would you do it? These people chose to fall off a cliff three times.

It's true that they got way too far. But they are not ordinary civilians. All of them or at least most of them had at least two-year military training. There are at least three trained professionals (One is actually working for the other side, but still). Also, the pink staff were working on command. They go only when someone says so. That and the fact that we don't know that they are all trained troopers. Some of them are just ordinary people just like the green players.

I agree with you on the monotony but YamaPi was such an icon at that time, that I feel nostalgic whenever I see him. I would watch just to for the nostalgia. It is kind of hard to picture anyone but him as Kurosagi.

The original Kurosagi is one of my all-time favorite Japanese dorama, I only realized now that there is another adaption. It is weird being done by the same country. I hope this one ends better.

It's been already announced on December, 22nd
It was implied on the show. They even joked that she should give them her appearance fees for two years, that would be impossible if she wasn't fixed. They even compared her situation to when Sechan joined, and told her that it's going to be tough on her because people are sensitive to adding new members. It is really tough to spell it out on a variety show, it's not like a talk show where they do announcements. People just naturally join. However there are already articles about it, and the PD confirmed it.

That is a nice plot. I hope the conversation would be deep. I love these kind of movies.

We are saying the same thing, but I phrased it differently. I know that they are old souls with differently aged bodies, but in my experience, physical age has some weight in the equation. If only soul age mattered, we would be okay with pedophilia as long as the kid has an "old soul", but that's not the case. People won't bat an eye if you're more than 300 year old dating a 20 year old while looking like GongYoo, but these two would definitely get a reaction. His body went back in time, even when his mind didn't, so who's to say how we should count his age? I also have a different view on the afterlife, you will not be in a dream-like state where your soul is hanging around and people imagine your physical traits in my version, but I'll not discuss this since it will open a can of worms, because everyone has their own theory, and only the writer's theory is important anyway.

I know, I read the plot.

First of all, I'm not a gen-z, but you must be an old fossil, so I'll ignore the patronizing. Second, a husband is a husband, if you love a person it wouldn't matter how old they are. He will meet her again when he is in his thirties, and she will be in her eighties, but it will be cruel if he doesn't love her anymore because she is now too old for him. Looking at the stills this appears to be a light-hearted drama, and "obviously" they are somewhat intimate since he is wrapping his arms around her. There will be some conflict and teasing but I doubt he will end up leaving her for a 20 year old.

It is obviously that. He is her husband.

Now that's an age gap. I always felt like people are whiny and snobbish when they complain about 10-15 years age gap, but this is extreme even for me. They are more than 40 years apart. I like the premise though, it sounds like it's gonna be hilarious.

She is officially a member now, they practically introduced her as a member in the latest episode. Have you not watched it yet?
I agree with you that she has been great and she fits really well, but saying she revived the show is a harsh exaggeration, the show wasn't dead. It's ranked at the top of Korean shows and is still doing well overseas.

I knew they would be too hasty to go through with the renting concept. I didn't want another permanent member. I liked giving guests time to shine by letting them get comfortable for a few episodes. But for what it's worth, I like Ye Eun. She's been fun to watch, and I don't mind seeing more of her.

Ji Ye Eun is officially a Running Man member.

It must be, because they kept saying "They must find it with their will" (This is a literal translation). I watched it on Disney+ so I trusted the subtitles, but maybe it was bad because it's not in English. I actually ignored the high school girl's ending thinking it was a plot hole, because I thought how come the mother knew which light to get, and how come she didn't just bring it earlier? because she kept asking her daughter to bring a light every iteration so that her daughter can find her light, if she could just bring it, why not do it from the start. She had strong will to get her daughter back to the real world from the beginning.

Maybe it's the subtitles, but I thought it was someone's own will, so I thought if they can tell them to make them willing to go to the real world, why not just tell them. But I'll go with you explanation since it makes sense that this is the distinction between the light shop owner and the bus driver.

You are focusing on the wrong thing. It's not just the people who the bus driver talked to, the only alive people who knew are the high school girl, the boyfriend and the detective. The rest were either dead, or never found out. The dog follower, the high school boy, the other nameless person. Yes, I didn't count them to make sure that they qualify as "most", and I'm now aware (and forgive me if I'm wrong again because my memory is not that great) that it's 50% of them. 50% of the people he told, and 50% of the total didn't need an explanation or a cause to suddenly find their light except that somebody told them. This is why I'm confused about the reason why those who knew never told them, except for the bus driver.

So, it wasn't as sophisticated as I thought then? XD
I got that idea watching the finale, because I remembered that Hyewon went to the shop and a light flickered, but I forgot when she died, before or after the flickering. I thought it was before because it flickered when she got close to it, so I assumed it was her light.

I agree with you that it would have been tedious to watch if someone found the light a long time before someone else, but the process of finding it is the thing I'm not satisfied with. The bus driver told most of them to go to the light shop, and they found their light as soon as they went there, no explanation was needed for most of them. If you can just tell someone that they need a light to go back, why didn't the shop owner tell them, why didn't their dead loved ones just tell them? If that invalidates their free well, then the bus driver telling them should've invalidated their free well too.

I believe they were in the list of names the couple were picking their fetus's name out of. They showed a flashback in an earlier episode where the couple were picking the name, but I don't remember if these are the same names mentioned in that episode.
