Although the 'Hurry,Brother' reality game show is part of collaboration shows of Korea production but there are a lot of fans anti this show before it being released. Even the people in Chinese also try to protect the originality of the Running Man show and protest the imitating show, Hurry Brother at the same time. They said that no one can be replaced or imitate the member of running man. Below video clip shows that some of the Chinese people anti this show and predict who will be the member to replace the member of Running Man.

topic about Chinese version of Running Man 

However, there is the point that i would like to bring out.Both reality game shows are different from the early century where game show are probably participated by ordinary people from public but from either the Running Man or Hurry Brother shows, all the members or guests are celebrities that are top and famous enough.

There is a note that i would like to share from the book of Television Studies:

More recent trends in game and quiz show evidence of the postmodernism blurring of genre boundaries that is occurring in much of contemporary culture.It also adopted elements of games and ritual, with audiences invited more frequently and directly.

There is new kind definitions of reality game show where the values of the traditional game show and modern reality game show are different and how the audiences to judge whether or not the show is nice or attracting them. The intersection between new and old element has brought up the idea of 'postmodernism in reality show'.
