Run BTS: 067 | BTS in a Manga Cafe part 2

Original Air Date: 12 MAR 2019 Episode Length: 29:32 Total Parts: 2 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: Continuing the previous episode with more minigames at the manga cafe

Production: These games were more enjoyable for me. i always love seeing the guys guess eachothers drawings, and this was nice having them collaborate. The hidden book game was neat, but they really need to stop trying to incorporate lie detectors in these kinds of shows. It just causes more confusion cuz the tech doesn't actually exist.

Endearment: The guys are all perked up now that they're getting some snacks. JK stands out particularly to me this episode.

Winner: BTS

Loser: Staff

Best Cheater: Hobi, writing words in the drawing game. then Jimin calls him out as the one that clarified that point when the rules were explained, nice edit. Then he does it again! 😆

Member Moments:

RM: Poor RMs absent minded-ness picking up the book when the drinks come.

JN: Jin, the master of a well-placed question mark

YG: Yoongi definitely went on far more than he would have if he wasn't 'it' during the hidden book game.

JH: Hobi not giving into JK's trolling and succedding at the ramen game!

JM: JM having a laugh attack during the ramen game.

V: V was a great choice for the first round of the hidden book game. when everyone's figuring out how to game the game, he just gets away with it.

JK: I looove how frustrated JK gets when the members mess up his drawing.

Bonus Content: There was so much content after they finished the episode! it's adorable, and i love it but I'm so confused why they were still filming...?

When it rains, I’ll think of the time we sang under the rain When it snows, I’ll think of you smiling for me, because you know I like the snow I know that if I cry, you’ll be sad, so I won’t So don’t you cry either

(T/N: These lines are similar to some of the lyrics in 'Closer Than This', available here.)

...what?

You know how spotify is really leaning into promoting concerts of band that you've listened to?

Why is spotify trying to tell me BTS will be in Nashville next week?? I think someone messed something up...

Run BTS: 063 | BTS School Returns part 1

Original Air Date: 12 FEB 2019 Episode Length: 28:13 Total Parts: 3 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: The guys are divided into teams to play various school-related games with Suga acting as the Teacher/MC. This part includes division of teams, filling out the punishment roulette wheel, class president elections, and the start of the handbell section

Production: I think this is a great production for a Run ep. For this section, good ideas for the games, they're executed well and the set/props/costumes are perfect. The pacing in this section is just a little slow as it's mostly just setup for the rest of the parts

Endearment: Now THIS is the kind of improv that the members excell at. They have enough of their own experience to draw upon and expertly make it entertaining.

Winner/Loser: see final part

Best Cheater: JM. literally told not to vote for himself but he still did.

Member Moments:

RM: Right after the guys describe how kids these days don't know about chalkboards, RM'S iconic moment of attempting to write on it with a marker.

JN: Jin, trying to use his gaming skills as leverage in the election

YG: Teacher Min suffering from the ringing in his ears...i wonder why...

JH: Hobi was so THERE for the dance to the school bell

JM: JM's savage comment that RM must've been class president only by being homeschooled.

V: V accidentally throwing the handstick right at Hobi

JK: JKs little laugh during Hobi's dance

Bonus Content: The bonus bits are so great. more shenanigans and extra moments to some that made it into the episode. and we get to see how that chalk gets broken! lol

Run BTS: 065 | BTS School Returns part 3

Original Air Date: 26 FEB 2019 Episode Length: 32:33 Total Parts: 3 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol

Synopsis: Final part of these episodes. The 'students' are divided into two teams for a debate moderated by Yoongi

Production: To this day, i do not understand why they didn't keep to the original teams. It makes absolutely no sense. Whatever. The mint choco debate is our first iteration of seeing BTS perform this act, we'll see it many more times in the future, so obviously, the concept works. Having the guys come up with the forbidden words for each other is a nice little twist. The scoring is so not clear either. They lost points for each time they got sprayed, I think??

Endearment: The guys absolutely do a great job with the debate activity. it's a great showcase of their personalities and the reason why we'll see this again.

Winner: RM, JN, V

Loser: JK, JM, JH

Best Cheater: none

Member Moments:

RM: I feel like the mintchoco debate is one of those silly areas where young RM gave himself total permission to be absolutely ridiculous. and he is thriving.

JN: Jin just absolutely taking the water without attempting to avoid it.

YG: The one downfall of the debate format, they dont actually empower the moderators. so they just get to react to what the participants are doing. Yoongi tries by attempting to lead the designated times for responses to each side, but it doesn't really work.

JH: Dear sweet beloved Hobi. He's just PERPLEXED every time he's sprayed, but he doesn't try it over to test out his words. bless his pure little heart.

JM: JM leading the betrayal of Hobi by choosing laughing.

V: Tae was pretty quiet for most of it but when he did share his final thoughts during the debate, he got flagged so many times. JM knew exactly what to select as his trap words!

JK: Not JK immediately figuring out one of his words and then forgetting about it later on!

Bonus Content: honestly, not very impressed with this one. it was cute seeing tae literally countdown 30sec before he had to speak.
