I think this drama is one of the only one that do not frustrated me; there are a lot of moments where the "fake" judge did not get distrated by the money and opened his mouth to stand for others and himself. I agree this is not the most original drama i have ever seen : the swap of twins CHECK witch have personality opposite CHECK and one is sucessful when the other one is not CHECK

However this is the kind of drama you could easily watch with a dumb smile on your face, why ? Because this is heartwarming you know when you want the happiness of a character and you enjoy every moment you saw him/her. I could tell "You Honor" was not a drama were i was obsessed of and i could easily drop it with a little of will but i still watch it because my heart becomes lighter episode by episode.

What particularly touch me :

Warning SPOILER ! Where should i start ? There are many things that give me a strong impression... First the mother of Soo Ho and Kang Ho was just despicable for me; she does not treat her sons equally, when she is with one she talks about the other and she always finds a way to make herself the "victim". She says some horrible sentences to Kang Ho like "If you were not born/ if Soo Ho was my only son i would be happy" or again remove Kang Ho from the family register because a relative asks her but i don't get this point, i will take that for the sake of the story in order to nobody to know that Soo Ho had a twin brother. Even Soo Ho had a lot of pressure from her because she wants him to be perfect and all to the point where his job was more important than himself; when he stops to be a judge and told to his mother "Even if i am not a judge i am still your son." that was so well said. What was funny too is that the ex-gangster and his wife was more a family to Kang Ho than his blood family; for example when Kang Ho got his cook licenses Ma Ryung and Hong Ran jumped of joy when his mother just codly said "good"; Ma Ryung taught him that there are things more important than money in life and Hong Ran give him a proper job.
Secondly what is the true justice ? This drama shows that it is not easy to be fair. Each case was sensitive and give you all sort of emotions. Our point of view is easily wronged and some people take advantages of this like the rich guys who commits crimes without consequences (violence or rape). Or the woman who shows remorses but in reality don't and repeat her mistake with the alcool (she destroyed a family but she was like "oh i just commit a little mistake, it is nothing."). I could talk about the cases for hours so i will just summarize my thoughts with : when i was a kid and dream about being a judge, i was far off the reality of what that involve seriously.
My third point is about how well and less well was the story overall. What surprised me pleasantly is that some parts was not useless counter to what i thought the first time i watch it. For example when Kang Ho saw So Eun suffers from sexual harassment in the first episode i could not imagine that would serve him to be a witness at the end and helps her to win her process. I had even forgotten this moment. I love when details are linked like that without exageration; this is nice to see that this or that moment was not totally forgotten. For example you know that the bracelet of So Eun will break at the end when her wish is fulfilled or i love the tatouage of Kang Ho who reflects him "the guy who tried to be bad but couldn't because he was too stupid". However and i wonder if it is not because the drama has been shortened but some passages were meaning for something but do not finally ! When Soo Ho told to his girlfriend "if i have a tattoo, it is not me ! " I am sure it was the chance for her to be suspicious later but strangely there was not such a moment ? Nobody (from his "friends") discovers the secret ! I was so surprised by that. Kang Ho was so suspicious though haha ! That shows nobody really care about the true Soo Ho, they just see his statut but not the human being or again perhaps it is because the drama was cut ? And some points were not really explained like why Soo Ho lied about the knife at the time and did he also lie at So Eun's sister process ?

In short

Overall the story is simple but good. The actors play very good ! It is true that Kang Ho character was a bit exagerated but for me it was funny. Strangely i loved the bad guy with his glasses and how he acts his characters. The romance is cute and well done, it is refreshing to see a couple who always help each other and don't hate each other for a little thing. The character of Kang Ho reminds me of Louie from shopping king Louie and If you saw Chief Kim that kind of reminds me also that especially when Kang Ho wants to take the money and leave but finally he chooses to live honeslty.

First of all i would like to say that after careful thought Dramas special are so much better than classic drama; i am talking of course about the format witch is really advantageous ! I mean in two hours you can easily made something not boring at all and i would like to say that it influenced my rating a lot.

Indeed the story is not full of deep things but it is so cute and funny and it seems like Run Toward Tomorrow takes all the positive sides to give you the optimistic attitude. The only negative point i could tell is that the father should have learned his lesson too; the son was not totally wrong in my opinion.

The actors acted very well and the characters are simple but entertaining. I love the fact that Moon Jae is immortal in the futur because of that there are a lot of funny moments and when he find his son and his wife i wanted to hug them haha. By the way the kid is so skilled seriously, his acting impressed me in numerous time.

I am not a music expert, as long as it fit the mood and it is not too repetitive it is good for me. What I remembered is that there was Indiana Jones' music

The Rewatch Value is all about your opinion and in mine i like to rewatch some funny passages.

Overall it is a nice Special Drama and i hope somebody please could make subtitles if they can and want to !
