Run BTS: 066 | BTS in a Manga Cafe part 1
Original Air Date: 05 MAR 20179 Episode Length: 29:53 Total Parts: 2 YouTube English Subtitles: No Title Song: Idol
Synopsis: The guys are at a Manga cafe, completing various minigames on the same team to earn snacks.
Production: I love this concept but there are some definite execution problems. the people counting game is great, but it loses so much by having to blur the books. They should have worked out a rights deal or done something different. the fill-in-the-blank game was another good idea, i guess? Definitely not non-Manga-Reader-Friendly which is fine but only showing the clue to us for a brief flash? they easily could have done an overlay on the bottom of the screen to have the clue visible the whole time the guys were working on them... the menu game was just confusing and obviously not set up fairly in the first place
Endearment: I've said it before, and I'll say it again, i absolutely love seeing people excited by their joys and frivolous passions. It's clear all of these guys have some interest in manga and enjoyed having this as a concept.
Winner/Loser: see final part
Best Cheater: staff...prepping a book for the ppl counting challenge that gave them an advantage
Member Moments:
RM: RMs Naruto run was so heckin adorable
JN: Honestly shocked that Jin didn't take the Jin manga that Hobi found. Maybe he was thinking he NEEDED one that he was familiar with?
YG: Always good to hear Suga's passion for Slam Dunk
JH: Hobi is so entertaining when he's right about something. when he got that menu item and no one was listening to him, then they turned the answers all to him.
JM: Loving JM picking up on JKs singing of 21st century girl.
V: Tae being so passionate about that pokemon line section. he tried so hard!
JK: JK asking for the menu, he was stepping into his food-focus.
Bonus Content: Again, doesnt really feel like much extra. its interesting that they came to this specific cafe because VMin had been there before.

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...?
