• Manhwa Race >> it’s been YEARS since the Manhwa Race, and there are tons of new works now that the cast can pick from. I would personally love to see Kwangsoo as Choseok again. If they do this, it’d be great to have Park Boyoung as guest like they did the first time.
• Running Avengers, Part 2 >> bruh, we needed a part two! And now that Jaesuk’s put it out there again, we definitely could use a revival of it. Plus, Sechan and Somin never got a chance to take part of really fun thematic races like this one. Let the babies take part!
• {Insert K-Drama parody Here} Race >> it’s one of those types of races that the cast always complained about but end up enjoying. These episodes also frequently turned into some of the most memorable races in the history of the show. When Cho PD and Myuk PD left, these gems vanished too. We need them back. They always included plot twists that are so cool and intriguing that it keeps viewers (at least the international viewers + some k-viewers) on the edge of their seats.
• Spy Races >> We recently had it (the (Fake) Grandparents Race), and I’ll tell you what: I remember that race and watched it more times than I watched any of the recent episodes (and by recent, I mean, AT THE VERY LEAST, Episodes 350-450). Most of the cast members shine at this. Don’t see why they shouldn’t have a hand at it more often than they do now.
• Solve the Mystery Races >> I think part of the reason why the most recent episodes don’t stand out is because they’re not mentally stimulating. I get that TV should be relaxing, but that doesn’t mean it should be stagnant and boring. Case in point—and yes, this is super biased: Netflix’s Busted. That show is utterly hilarious, always a joy to watch, and it’s anything but boring. It shows that funny can coexist with thrilling.
Running Man had these a couple of years ago. An example is the Teardrop of the Sun Case Race. The Rage Virus was an absolute legend in that area too. Recently they had the Yoo-ames Bond episode, and that was absolutely great. If we can have more of that, that would be amazing.
• School Days Race >> Please do this type again! It was always great to see Jihyo unnie and the boys in school outfits. Yes, I know they did this around the first few months Sechan and Somin joined the cast, buuuut that wasn’t fun (sorry). I nominate PD Lim to handle these kinds of races (ALL of these types, tbh, because dude knows what he’s doing). It’d be awesome.
• Sageuk Races >> The cast in hanboks are always to die for. They look so beautiful/handsome in them! But it would be cool if there’s a story behind them wearing the traditional clothing, kind of like when they did the Scarlet Heart-themed race. And the Babo Ondal Race.
[That’s it for now. I’ll add more later 😉]
