QUICK COMBO:

TOMORROW | 24/7=HEAVEN | SEVEN

What's a Quick Combo?

My personal recommendation of just a few songs for easy insertion into a playlist. This mini-combination makes an interesting transition or story when played in this order.

My thoughts on this QC:

I just like the progression from yearning to hopeful to confident regarding desires and wants in these 'timeline' songs.

QUICK COMBO: WHALIEN 52 | ABYSS | AMYGDALA | DON'T LEAVE ME

My thoughts on this QC:

One of the facets of BTS that captured me is their ability to create not-depressing tragic songs. They're not quite upbeat, happy, or joyful so as to make a mockery of the message but just hopeful enough to make me enjoy listening. This QC is my current go-to when I want to be in my feels but not broken-hearted about it. The lyrics alone could be extremely depressing but the music is beautifully soothing.

RUN BTS: THE SERIES

I wasn't part of the Fandom when most of these episodes were newly released. I have watched entire series many times though and would like to share some thoughts about each one (especially as we have current event context). so while we wait for the return of a regular BTS episodic show, I'd like to do another RUNthrough of Run BTS (see what I did there?)

Here are the items I plan to discuss with each episode. I'd like to invite anyone who's up for it to rewatch and share your thoughts as well, especially if you have any fun facts relevant to what was happening at the same time as the original airing.

Production: How successful the episode is as a variety show, including but not limited to: exposition, editing, set design, utilization of locations.

Endearment: How successful it is in showcasing the charms of BTS and making the audience want to engage in more of their content.

Winner/Loser: many episodes have an ultimate winner/loser. I will absolutely spoil this so please watch first if you haven't.

Best Cheater: BTS has the best cheaters! Who do I personally think was the best one in each episode? (This is all in good fun and not actually malicious).

Member Moments: a moment or quote from each member that stands out to me each episode.

Overall Rank: my personal rank of the episode on a scale of 1-5 of how much I enjoyed it, including the Production and Endearment notes above.

Bonus Content: Many episodes have bonus content on weverse and I'll give some general thoughts on the content. This will NOT be a transcript on the content itself. If I happen to know any fun facts related to the episode, I'll share here but I don't anticipate much since I wasn't in the Fandom during original airings. if you know any, please share!

I love a good spreadsheet so we'll have some interesting metadata to analyze after this series. Let's get it!

Source for original air dates as well as some extra info that I couldn't glean from just watching the content. I will be using the episode numbering per YouTube rather than Wikipedia though.
