Rage Virus
Location: Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do (central west coast of South Korea).
Opening (Chunjangdae beach*).
Helium race (Seocheon highway rest stop*): Running Men must choose a food item at random and then inhale helium from a balloon and race to order the item and return while still having helium voices at the finish. The last person, unable to complete the mission, is infected with the rage virus and removed.
Find the vaccine race (National Institute of Ecology Ecorium Project* (생태원)): While avoiding the security guards, obtain ID pass cards from the researchers roaming about as well as pass codes to the vaccine storage room and obtain the vaccine to win. Being captured by the security guards means ejection from the building and they have to find an open door back in. Spy 1 mission: infiltrate the Running Men and eliminate them to prevent them from obtaining the vaccine. Spy 2 mission: figure out who the infiltrator is and eliminate that person.
Comments: There's no need to point out the campy acting by the cast in furtherance of the "rage virus" plot. Perhaps a bit more subtle are the indicators (I think I'm being kind) that certain cast members (*cough, cough* Jae Suk, *hurumph* Haha) were directed to improvise certain monologues to impart certain information to manipulate the audience regarding what is going on. A little disingenuous. On the funny side, though, is that they sometimes make it obvious that they're working under instructions. Despite the "plot" artifice and obvious direction at various points, much of the how the action unfolds is plausibly real.
- epdrama's English is much better than kshownow's, which has a lot of nonsensical translations for native speakers. Kshownow's video quality, however, is much better.
