July 26, 2013 July 26, 2013 Running Man: Episode 155 by What better way to cool off in the summer with a horror story that ought to send chills down your spine? The cast travels down memory lane when they relive their school glory days in search for their destined match. But beware of looking too far back into your memories—you may just find that not everything is what it seems… EPISODE 155. Broadcast on July 21, 2013. Welcome back to Running Man High where our group of super seniors—er, our cast—takes their seats in the classroom. The boys have fun with their role-play like how Jong-kook looks so natural sitting in the back and how class president Kwang-soo is the pet giraffe. Then Haha wonders why mat-hyung Suk-jin is the same age as their teacher. Why am I not surprised that transfer student Ji-hyo has an infamous reputation as—what else? We saw you kiss Lee Seung-gi! The set-up: our cast of students will face-off to win a pair of sneakers though a variety of in-class games. They run with the joke as Kwang-soo instructs everyone apart from Jong-kook to duck so that he can aim better. Gary is nearly successful, but his shoe pops right out again. The Monday Couple is up next, and this time, it actually looks like Jong-kook is struggling a bit. That is, until he starts jokingly hitting Jong-kook. The cast starts to search the school, and we see Kwang-soo keep a mysterious close eye on Suzy. Then a flashback teaches us that he stuffed his item beneath one of the hollow busts on the top shelf. To his relief, Suzy moves on. But a minute later, Jong-kook realizes that that could be an amazing hiding place, so he rushes back into the room with the busts. Kwang-soo is eliminated easily in the next minute, and the cast continues their search. The Monday Couple manages to sneak through a door and take on Jong-kook. Then they place those into a mysterious time-capsule-like mailbox to be delivered to their future selves. With a final class picture, the students move on with their lives… Five years later. The classmates greet each other at an university late at night. Ha, I just noticed this now, but is everyone wearing pink? Once everyone is in their rooms, they read the secretive note read: mission card tucked in their nostalgic envelopes. They blush to read that two of them are destined soulmates. After they all grab an item, the cast sets off in search for each other. Gary immediately gets jealous when he catches Ji-hyo look for Haha. It cracks me up that Jong-kook uses that same logic on Suzy, saying that the model student should be with the pretty girl at school. Meanwhile, Haha and Ji-hyo break off on their own and discover one of the mysterious mirrors. A sharp blast of air tells them no. The cast quickly finds out that not every mirror they come across is helpful since some of them are broken. Is the model student and the dunce meant to be? Or a young lady and the model student? Interestingly, Suzy tries to hint at some of the members to try their luck with her. Only that raises more suspicion about why she seems so eager. Ironically enough, the Deathly Mirror allows them to ask one Yes or No question. This rule is announced through the speakers, and now this game just got a lot creepier. He manages to pull Kwang-soo aside, and is surprisingly honest about what happened in front of the mirror. Elsewhere, Haha and Jong-kook stand in front of another mirror and ask the same question. Phew, they can look behind themselves without fear of death. They immediately test it out hehe and resolve to prank the others to fall for the trick. Ha, maybe you two are the ones who are evil. With a clap of thunder, the new rule is announced. At once, Jae-suk takes it out on his poor VJ. And then we see Ji-hyo curled up in fear just like in the preview. Watching Suk-jin paralyzed by this new rule is an absolute hoot. Is that… a box neck brace? They ask, more freaky letters appear… and new rule is introduced: If someone shouts, they will die. Hm, so are the ones who discover the new rule exempt from it? Then the Easy Brothers find yet another mirror with new items. That only establishes yet another rule: If someone becomes unattractive, they will die. Jong-kook points out that Jae-suk does look remarkably unattractive sans glasses. They both stand there, bickering again. However, nothing happens when they group together. Suzy leaves a note for Jong-kook to come meet her. Then at the opportune moment, Kwang-soo joins them… and nothing happens. A creepy voice reminds them of their grave error, and then Jong-kook is taken away by the grim reapers. We jump back to earlier in the night when the two ladies ran into each other. Sure enough, the mirror had confirmed that they were meant to be. When they returned to their room, they looked through the yearbook.. Then a recording had informed them that they were ghosts. Ah, which explains why Teacher Maknae FD only addressed the boys and tried? Not only that, Haha is a surprisingly quiet student while Kwang-soo always looks behind him. HA, and Jae-suk is a vain student. Elsewhere, Ji-hyo targets Kwang-soo and rips off a part of his nametag to get him to look back. But he whirls around the other way instead. Kwang-soo is rightly suspicious and makes a ruckus. Too bad he catches her not a moment too soon. The Monday Couple tries out another mirror. They get to work searching through the hundreds of lockers, but will they find the one they need? Meanwhile, Haha pouts at yet another failed match, and he sends Suzy out to grab another item. She gets an idea and decides to sneak up on him. She jumps… and he screams. Elsewhere, Ji-hyo still plays dumb, but then she slaps Kwang-soo upside the head, and he instinctively looks back. Aw, and Ji-hyo looks so sorry about it as she apologizes on her knees. The remaining boys gather together, now free of some of the rules. Suzy gives chase to capture Jae-suk, but runs into Suk-jin instead. Gary gives her an unknowing helping hand by helping her take on Suk-jin. They eventually get both feet on the ground and eliminate him. Gary diligently searches through every locker he comes across, and wonders if Ji-hyo has already found the hint. He finds the right one where a yearbook and a sticker is stored. The sticker is an effective tool against the dead. Gary ushers Jae-suk over to show him the yearbook where both girls are oddly missing. Then Jae-suk pulls out the same sticker. We see that he acquired it from Haha, who found it in a potted plant. They run into Suzy, who agrees to meet them… while holding a cup of water in her hands. The boys know they only have one shot at this and approach Suzy with caution. Ji-hyo is nowhere to be found, and then water splashes from behind the door. I burst out laughing so many times during the last game. If only Gary had found the photos without the girls earlier, then it'd have been more two-sided. It was pretty much the girls till the end. I'm thoroughly sick of Kwang Soo hitting Jong Kook for no reason at all. He did it twice this time and it looked extremely painful both times. And Jong Kook did not even berate him to warrant the attacks. I know they are close off screen, but I thoroughly hate his attacks. That back hug of Jong Kook to Ji Hyo. And Ji Hyo didnt even seem to try and push him away. And then Ji Hyo going up to Jong Kook at the corridor and they started holding hands ignoring everyone else around them? Sometimes I wonder how close these two are Ah, when they were still in school. I thought you meant after the ghost story section started. They seem really comfortable together. I think the other members may have also tried to restrain her if she had found their item, but it would have been all aggression. Jong Kook tends to handle her with more care and respect in the heat of a game. You just know what's going to happen. A lot of people have been criticising KJK over his commander status due to his recent spate of injuries. But I thought how he immediately figured out the logic behind LKS' item's hiding place was absolutely brilliant and showed that his commander status is more than just brawn exemplified by the all-kill arm wrestling. But this guy has brains as well. Couple of moments made me LOL, like KJK and Haha immediately turning their heads nonstop when they knew they were immune, LKS worrying about Gary during the ugly curse, JSJ hopping on one foot nonstop. Gary did do an amazing dodge when SJH threw water at him. Yes, I also always thought KJK-SJH are very comfortable around each other, and this ep solidified it. Still, I really like these mystery-type-skits since they're always a nice change of pace, and it's funny seeing how confused the cast gets while trying to figure everything out. In fact, they're the only reason I managed to get my boyfriend hooked on this show in the first place this is the ONLY Asian show of mine he'll watch - and trust me, I've tried to get him hooked for years and years. Suzy: Hi,my name is Suzy. U kissed Lee Seunggi. Lost in editing maybe. There are few funny moments i must say. Loved it how everyone avoiding each other. Last but not least, i love the ghost sisters. Jihyo as the more calm unni ghost and
