Run for the Money (2022– )
8/10
Recycled Battle Royal Formula Still Works
6 February 2023
Ok it's not a new format. This is the same as Fukasku's epic Battle Royale and Fortnight and such-other 'Battle Royale' programmes. It's well-made and it's more refreshing than most TV.

It's fun to watch for just under 4 hours. The runners are immaculate and fast and have to chase the desperate contestants. Then there's various spanners thrown in to make it more interesting.

It's thoroughly enjoyable TV and I hope there's more of this even though it's a repetitive formula. I quite liked the diversity of the contestants. It could do with some older people though.

Choi Minho is the standout performer and clearly due for greater things. I'm looking up his film history and I am going to try and find his movies as he was very enduring and calm and professional.

The chemistry of the players worked very well and it made for rewarding TV. It gest a strong and commendable 8/10 from me. Great work.
