Barefoot Friends?

Okay so this new show, Barefoot Friends, I just saw the first episode now. I gotta say, I'm really skeptical about it since it's such a Running Man rip off. Though I know they're both SBS Sunday shows and not competing, against one another per-say, it still irks me. Especially since I'm such a die-hard Running Man fan. They had to go through a lot of to get where they are now, and now shows think that by using a similar format that they're going to reach that point too. Now, both shows do have their differences, I give them that much. I mean it's not like their freaking identical but it basically has the same action-variety element as well as the 8 members (including Joongki when RM first started) 7 male, 1 female. The only thing that's going to help them is the fact that they have Eunhyuk and Yoon Si Yoo and Kim Hyun Joong, but other than that Running Man has a constant circulation of fresh ideas and incoming celebrity guests that cover the entire spectrum, including rare-to-variety guests that almost never make appearances as well as guests that aren't just idols. One thing that I did like about Barefoot Friends though, which I probably mentioned before, is the eye candy especially Eunhyuk and KHJ chemistry. Apart from the fact that I am incredibly biased towards them, idk... it's just nice to see them together and they get alone well too. If you can't tell... they're the reason I'm watching. lmfao.

I'll give it a chance for now but the moment they start ripping off RM insiders, ima be pissed. Just saying.

WAIT JOONGKI IS IN IT??
HUh. I've heard only that a show on SBS would exist. But I feel like if they tried to copy form Running Man, there is no way they would succeed.

to me it looks more like a combination of a lot of shows.The only resemblance with Running Man I see is the number of members.It looks a bit of Running Man,2 days 1 night,family outing and more.It doesn't look weird if it resemble FO because the PD is the same as FO.
