I already submitted an up-to-date cast list.

After searching around, it appears that the information source of the current MDL cast list came from various sources around the Internet without any clear source, thus, MDL ended up with an incorrect information as well. Again, as far as what I've been able to find.

The corrections I submitted just now came from a reliable source, and one used by Koreans a lot.

Unless some MDL moderator decides to decline my submissions citing some reason instead of just fixing it first, and then we can adjust whatever it is they want to additionally fix. (This happens a lot.)

UPDATE: It appears that in 2023, instead of premiering, they changed the entire cast, hence, the mixed actors in MDL.

It's official! Elisia and Gehlee Dangca will appear this weekend, August 10, 11 (S02E27 and E28), as per the official announcement: https://x.com/GMARunningManPH/status/1821064040057078130

Also: https://x.com/gmanetwork/status/1821438412920070464

There are still 4-5 confirmed guests remaining to show.

This week's E25 and E26 will be Nancy of Momoland..

We still have:
1. Sandara Park of 2NE1
2. Elisia of UNIS
3. Gehlee Dangca of UNIS
4. Rochelle Pangilinan
5. And supposedly a special appearance of Ruru Madrid (Running Man S01 regular)

Possible appearances:
* E27: Sandara Park
* E28: Elisia and Gehlee (possibly together with Dara)

Note: see E17 and E18, Bianca Umali was a guest runner in both episodes, but in E18 Haha also showed up as a guest. It's possible they'll repeat it again.

* E29 and E30: Special appearance of Ruru Madrid together with Rochelle Pangilinan
* E31 and E32: Season 02 finale episodes.

---

Of course, this is under the assumption that Season 02 will also have 32 episodes like Season 01; and assuming there won't be any other surprise guests they did not announce.

Because it's a common trope. ^_~

If you want the part where the titular character is “The Brave”, watch around E61/E71 onwards. You can watch E01 to maybe E10/E20.

But definitely skip E11/21 to E60.

Save yourself from a major deep dive into a bottomless pit of negative emotions, like anger, hatred, bitterness, and more anger, hatred, and bitterness.

We still have no idea if they can actually end this show on a high note. Currently, it looks impossible already… we're in the bottomless pit of everything negative. It's going to take a major turn around, like, ALL the ___evil___ characters going to prison, not die but prison. Beyond that, there's no redemption from the bottomless pit.

Oooh, yes! I forgot that one!

Yep. It seems Korea is starting to give roles to actors where they truly excel instead of letting them take different roles (and sometimes they're bad in it, the whole show is dragged down ^^;; )

But, it is what it is, there are actors with a particular role that fits them, and they should tap that instead of risking a new role.

Hopefully, that surprise is not: Suji's father + Uri's mother.

Maybe they were drunk back in college, so they don't remember each other. They came from a huge uni and well… anything can happen.

LOL.

But seriously, hopefully they don't introduce him, he's no longer vital in the story. A passing mention, maybe, which will irk her husband and shake their family further.

And it will finally unearth why they got married in the first place. I'm suspecting because of the Hospital and the Foundation. It was a business marriage. Hospital is the father's, Foundation the mother's.

But I dunno, there are only few episodes left.

Shows that airs on traditional TV network are strictly based on that network's schedule. OTT (streaming services) are only secondary distribution and cannot release episodes ahead of the TV network. If they do that, they'll be in a serious breach of contract even IF they are a diamond or platinum sponsor/investor of the show.

Thus, consider the schedule of that OTT service “not yet updated”. ^_^

It happened in other OTT services before, and they had to either immediately bring the episode down or apologize through a statement the following day. Even Netflix made such a mistake before, they released an episode 12 hours before the actual premiere of the episode in Korea (this was before they opened an office in Korea and before they started doing their own Netflix-exclusive K-drama).

Sorry, just jotting down all the thoughts coming to my mind. After all, this was written by a real life divorce attorney, thus, we can't deny many of it were based on true to life stories and people--probably mixed-and-match to avoid getting sued. (You can't base a character or a story on an actual person or story, especially in her situation as a divorce attorney.)

That is keeping my brain overworking, trying to look at each character and plot under a microscope because I want to understand what's going on in the writer's mind; and in this particular case, what she is trying to convey or the lessons she is trying to give us.

And No. 4 is:

He indeed is clueless about his own feelings because of his family problems. It looks like there's a deep wound between him and his father. Something happened that made him oblivious to his own feelings.

Come to think of it, there are people like this in real life.

Maybe No. 3 is:

He does indeed like her, but he's holding himself back because of her father.

Re: No. 2

Some examples I can think of are:
a. his father shouldn't know it because… well… he will disown him out of rage.
b. it's going to destroy his father's reputation, so he chose to make the sacrifice to keep him being gay hidden
c. inheritance… although he doesn't appear to be that kind of person to care about it

Ujin's reactions during his lunch with Yuri is so hard to read.

He's either:
1. a straight man who can control himself, and doesn't fall with anyone just because; or
2. he's gay, that's why he's so sure there's nothing romantic, and he would prefer it to stay hidden (for whatever reason).

If it's No. 1, why can't people just accept that there are individuals of the opposite gender who wouldn't sleep together, not even romantically like each other, just because? Why is so society always assuming something is going on. Duh.

If it's No. 2, I don't know where to begin. It's going to be bad for Ujin, there's more likely a very good reason why he's keeping it quiet. At the same time, it's going to be a funny. HOWEVER, this is cliché and far too easy. YET we've seen how the show cuts to the chase and surprise us with something not expected… so…

No. 1 or No. 2?

Or, you have a No. 3 and No. 4?

Yep, opportunity to get on with the pending ones!!!!

Ooh, yeah, the hospital and the foundation.

That's a good one. We were led to believe that he's a good father, husband, and person. But deep inside… he still is greedy and easily succumbs to his personal biases.

Ironically, everyone is siding with him because of that image, without them knowing he's like most people who wants to keep their riches and positions within their line.

LOL. Like in real life, we have to be careful who we trust; the most dangerous ones are those who keep a very good and positive image. ^^;;

That said, yes, E60 is out, go watch it.

As of this post, the schedule adjustment submitted by another editor was incorrect.

As per the official website: https://program.imbc.com/BBS/ThebraveYongSujeong?list_id=2639639&list_use=3&page=1&bbs_id=YongSujeong_board it starts on July 29. July 29 episode is E61.

I already submitted the corrected schedule, so this post is just a notification to save you from going through the trouble (it's a pain-in-the-ass to update episode schedules, you have to do it manually each episode and select the correct reason).

Okay, submitted schedule adjustment due to Olympics 2024 Paris.

The announcement was posted on E89 at mark 28:21.

E90 will air on 2024-08-12 (Mon), usual time slot, 20:30 KST.

Where did you see it? Do you have a link?

The MDL timer is still showing July 29th.

EDIT: Nevermind, I missed it, it's in the final seconds of the E89.
