We can see JSM trying uber hard at her job, but I guess after awhile it just grates on you. LOL. While it hasn't gotten on my nerves just yet, she's fun to watch. But maybe the sunbaenims need to give her a lesson on moderation. I'd only have given 2 stars if not for the twist at the end. Had me going dae-bak non-stop LOL.

K - finally we're at the punishment stage of the project. Didn't think it was possible to stretch out the visit to a full episode, but again, I'm no PD. Very long & repetitive.. and 'cos the focus was on YJS & JSM going in first, the subsequent 2 trips just felt really, really long. And unnecessary. For once I pity the VJs, #justsaying

K - finally we're at the end of the Mongolia/Russia filler arc. FINALLY. Feels way too long of a drag by now. I felt like the challenges while fun, was not fully thought ahead?
LKS is the sweetest man - I'd date him if I can speak Korean. Seeing them freak out getting there is fun for me. But felt like it was totally rigged *shrugs
Other destinations would have been more fun for me (but I'm no PD)

Seeing JSJ give so much for the show, to try his hardest - breaks my heart a little. Maybe he really can't keep up :( But I've really grown to love him and his place in RM. And it showed me how Koreans really aren't adventurous with food hahaha. They should travel more!! So Min was so good, I felt like watching Se Chan team was a pain...

I like the Russia & Mongolia destinations - very different from what you'd normally expect. Pretty cool to see the destinations as well. I'm gradually enjoying each episode a lot more. Thanks for the change SBS. Please continue to do well okay!!
LOL at the luggage sizes - I truly LOL-ed
And SJH is gonna change her name again, poor girl.
Again, MVP was So Min for me!! <3 mad love for the girl.

I truly felt so tired for JSJ - really really tired. Love how they're taking time to build the team chemistry with the new members. Se Chan really needs to learn how to stand out better - we don't need another HDH or LKS.

While it's fun to "hook" KJK up, I'm quite sick of seeing it. /justsaying.
Seriously, So Min is slowly becoming a favourite of mine. She's so wonderfully weird and fits well in the team. I don't like how it was so difficult to get the tour stickers early on, and now it's like given away for every little thing -.- Please be a little more consistent!!

The concept of the episodes spilling to the next one is a little annoying for me. Cos we've been so used to having a conclusion every week, while this creates audience anticipation and cliffhangers, for me it was just annoying. -.- (sorry, personal pet peeve) But I'm slowly falling in love with So Min, while Se Chan, he's putting effort, but he's so afraid to stand out or just offend people, it's quite painful to watch him. *shrugs
While I like that the PD team is making the challenges harder, I feel like they've got to make sure it's at least achievable? (I know I'm contradicting on this - let's wait and see)
SJH just shows how amazing she is really.
It's so sad that Gary truly cut off communication with the team - maybe he's really going through something very personal. Kang Gary, 진심으로 축하해!
p.s. I love JSJ game LOL

Uh when I heard the mission, I was like this is ridiculous. Wasn't even a good concept. But the members really did their best. The star is for the 6. Maybe 5.5 lol.
Can they also make the pairing of LKS and YJS less obvious for crying out loud. -.-
Sorry guys, on the late posts, I've been away on vacation between jobs, hence unable to upload the posts.

LKS has gotten a lot more confident and "badass" in being a comedian in his right. I like that they used the end of last episode to give the new mission. But looking at the dates, it was quite staged lol. But still, not too bad I guess... given history. I think I love how KJK got what LKS was trying to say without actually saying it. It was amazing for me.

Hmm I think this is a very similar concept to RM episodes that aren't too popular awhile back. While it was fun at some parts, (great guests btw), the pacing and concept was old & slow. Only part worth watching was Haha's quick question portion.

Hmmm. I think I loved the ending. But it was really quite mean of them to do that to SJH. Everyone knows how severe her fear is for bugs. (Hence the scandal). The rest of them, their fears are quite exaggerated, which is good comedy, just not SJH.

I'm impressed they got a non-celebrity to agree to this & to go on such a public first date. Apparently she was sincere about the blind date even though she say she doesn't like celebrity? I think it's not funny but it's heart-warming. Which I thought RM should just define what they want to do. Seeing how this is the end, if you wanna do heart-warming, don't do it half-f*? All out make us cry please. It's great to watch KJK going on a "real" date. I'm leaving the quotes in because, tv. Just great if you love KJK, if not, don't bother.. But you'll still watch it lol.

LOL. I loved every part of this, even when LKS was so thick-skinned UNTIL~.
So either all these while, JSJ was very good at acting that he "hated" his marriage, OR, they made him "pass" this BECAUSE of the rife it's caused in JSJ real marriage? Either way. JSJ in a VERY different light. Only removed one star cos of the sheep segment. Wasn't remotely funny, really. They could have cut of the sheep segment & extended the 미고사 session.
With every episode now, I'm sad.. 고마워, members. I'm really going to miss you guys. TT

I love every start of the year episode, purely just from the fortune telling.
Park Sung Joon fortune teller is just hilarious. LOL.
But honestly this round feels very "coincidental" that SJH and KJK has "good" fortunes and are "paired" together. Call me skeptical, but I think the staff is trying to put more "good" focus on them. You can tell SJH is still upset. She's not fully hundred percent into the filming. While KJK is doing well, but it's a big problem if SJH is going to continue like this. I understand fully that she's entitled to be upset and all, but if it really makes her this uncomfortable, maybe she shouldn't film anymore? Or give her a longer break to recover. It's not easy being in the limelight of such a scandal, more so when you're a strongly private person. She didn't have room to grief.
Please SBS, fire that guy already.

Merry Christmas 여러분!!
This episode warms me up in so many ways, the fact that it focused on the interaction among the members, the fact they knew each other so well, and the fact that they simultaneously feel bad and went all out to bully each other. While it was obvious, I loved every minute of it. It warmed my heart so much, and the fact that their telepathy scared even themselves. Especially so since the scandal broke only AFTER they filmed this. For a short moment, I thought we'd have 7012 back again, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen.
And are you kidding me with that apology RM staff? That's all you're going to do? There'd better be a bigger and better apology from SBS. (FIRING THE PD).
Seriously. What's taking you guys so long?!
Anyway, please watch this episode, I loved it so much. Hope you do too! <3
Happy New Year guys!!
p.s. I'm in the middle of festivities and all, gifs will have to take awhile. 미안해

I thought Sech-kies were hilarious guests. Their kind of weird fit really well with RM. Also, Hwang Woo-seul-hye. She's either doing it on purpose, or her kind of silliness and slow uptake fits right in. I don't hate this episode, but it's nothing I raved about. Maybe only the drawing relay? LOL. Still, the guests were really pretty good. Final game was a letdown after the drawing relay though.
