Im Bok Ja is my favorite character. Maybe not her exactly, but I like Lee Je Hoon's alter ego when he meets her, and I also love her love story. I would love to see a spin-off focusing on them. P.S If anyone knows any drama with a character that is similar to "Wang Tao Zi", please recommend it to me.
What are you talking about? Money hardly ever becomes an issue when it comes to choosing a wife. I must understood…
I get what you mean, and I absolutely agree that women don't usually get support career-wise, but I wouldn't choose this case as an example of double standards, because it's not about her accepting his career as an actor, it's about her accepting him when he was poor, and it wouldn't have come up if he didn't think that most women wouldn't do the same.

With all these famous married women in the Korean industry, I doubt that none of them got their husband's support. It's just that it's a given that a man should support his wife financially so no woman would say "my husband married/supported me when I was poor". Out of all areas women are being unfairly treated, this is not one of them. We wouldn't like to be caught crying wolf here.
another failure of Korean society towards women that this is never in reverse
What are you talking about? Money hardly ever becomes an issue when it comes to choosing a wife. I must understood you wrong because you make no sense.
I like it, but there are some tasteless issues with it. Fat suit and Fat shaming aside, saying a kid is suddenly pretty when she removes her glasses and trims her eyebrows? I get that kids may say that because "kids are stupid", but an adult shouldn't. It also isn't true, she was pretty regardless. To be fair, the female lead isn't supposed to be a representation of good, but the child actress is still young to not be influenced by the message. Her eyebrows are fabulous.
The fact that seok Jin had forgotten the fact that it was woo seoks second time being a running man guest lol.
He did. He forgets idols all the time. He also often says their names wrong. If idols of very famous bands are not global stars, I don't know who is. They are obviously joking though, I don't think it's funny personally because I think it's one of the oldest jokes in variety shows, it's been there since X-Man and probably even before that, but I know they were exaggerating to be funny. They have seen people who are way more famous than him.
Did anyone watch byun wooseok ep and think ...wow the difference in treatment when you are popular Vs when you…
It's a running joke. They do the "I like you now only because you are popular" pretty often. They treat them well even without their popularity. So many celebrities said they came back after getting popular because they liked that they were treated well even when they were unknown.

Ji Seok Jin forgets everyone, even "global" stars. He doesn't keep track of everyone who comes to the show, and to be honest, it's understandable. I too don't remember this guest's first appearance, and I'll probably won't remember this one. It's very hard to be memorable on Running Man with all these guests and episodes. Ji Seok Jin only remembers people who he interacts with often or on a regular basis, or follow. That is normal for everyone, not just him. It doesn't mean he is a snob, it's okay to be forgetful. P.S. Jong Kook is always following people regardless of their level of fame whenever he has a chance. He actually made so many people more popular by calling them to appear on the shows he does, including Yang Se Chan and now Kang Hoon. (You can find an episode on Gym Jong Kook where he asks Kang Hoon to be a rental member on Running Man before his first appearance on the show)
The comedy is fine but the romance is silly. They keep falling into each other. They ended two episodes in a row with a fall, what's that about? We usually only have one or two scenes that are far apart in dramas so that it feels natural.
It feels like dramas of the good old days. I miss this kind of rom-coms. It's hard for me to finish the new ones, so I resorted to strictly watching action/crime/revenge dramas. I hope this one would be good until the end.
Nice riveting comedy.but it 'seems' to the suffer the usual trope of extremely pure virgin oil Male Lead and FL…
If it's working.. why not? There are many dramas where it is the other way around, so there is plenty for everyone to find what matches their taste. I personally find this better than the shy female/bold male lead type of dramas, but I enjoy both.
I like most of your picks, Episode 91 is one of my favorites but my favorite thing about it wasn't Yoomes Bond, but the second escape of Spartakook. He is a literal genius, too bad his brain is overshadowed by his brawn so people hardly acknowledge it.
Running Man is my favorite show, I rewatched the episodes of the first 3 years more than 10 times, I stopped binge rewatching now but I still rewatch my favorite episodes regularly. Here are some of my favorites:
Episode 74: This is my absolute favorite. Some may find it silly and childish, but the first superpower special was so entertaining for me. I liked watching them being so confused at each other's superpowers. The only downside for me was that Jong Kook's superpower sucked and he is my favorite member. Episode 93: Scratch that, this is my absolute favorite. If you want to fear for the lives of all members. This is the episode for you. This is the closest they got to getting actually torn apart by a vengeful beast. If you, like me, are a fan of the beast though, you will have the plus of rooting for him while also fearing for the lives of other members. Episode 19: The first betrayal in Running Man History. Episode 49: This is themed like The Amazing Race, I don't usually like those kind of episodes but this one was super entertaining. Episode 51: This is the second part of the Thailand special which caused Running Man's popularity in Korea to soar. The first part was extremely emotional for fans of the show but I wouldn't recommend it to people who are not as invested, but the second part (episode 51) is entertaining for just about anyone. Episode 54: The first big role of Kwang Soo. If you want to see him almost cry, this is the episode you are looking for. Episode 62: This is the second part of their China special. For some reason I always prefer the second part of traveling specials over the first part where they are most likely tired. Episodes 82, 84, 85: If you like The tiger/giraffe (Jong Kook and Kwang Soo) relationship, these are focused on that. AND THEY ARE HILARIOUS! Episode 99: This is just an episode that checks all the boxes for me, it might be not everyone's cup of tea. Episode 270: Most of my favorite episodes are from the first few years, but this was an exception. This is a big budgeted intense spy game and it was worth the money and the effort, I've never seen an episode more impressive than this, if they showed it at the box office, no one is going to complain that it was a waste of money, if they do it now, I'll book the first ticket.
If it can be measured with a negative number, it would be that number. This is how much romance there is. There is "pure" sexual attraction and very superficial flirting though (Not between the leads), which in my book is the opposite of romance.
P.S If anyone knows any drama with a character that is similar to "Wang Tao Zi", please recommend it to me.
