I am kind of new to my dramalist as I become a member like a week or two ago. So I have watched a legit amount of dramas. I am starting to write reviews on dramas I loved the most. Run on is so underrated. It came out with True beauty and we all know what happened. At first when I asked some of my friends they said to like run on is not that good,you should watch true beauty. So I was little hesitant while selecting this to be my next watch. The synopsis didn't encourage my curiosity. I solely took up this drama because I trusted the network ,yes jtbc it's the reason and first episode into the drama I was like is there any problem with the main lead,he is acting weird and all sorts of things crossed my mind as the episode progressed I started liking him and by the end I actually fall in love with ki seon gyeom and joined his fanclub (the president post of the fan club would Been mine but already occupied by young hwa?)Oh mi joo is fiercely independent but I didn't think she is will not fit into that strong female lead category mould of ko moon young or Jang man yeol. But she is really strong lead character in kdramas. She teaches him to understand his self worth and teaches him to stand up for yourself. Im siwan's character feels weird at first but slowly the character grows on you. I loved his acting this was my first time watching him(I am yet to see miseang). I don't have any idea that he is an idol actor. Second female lead dan ah portrayed by soo young is a conglomerate with sneakers. The first time I saw her character that sneakers caught my attention and ofcourse you will find out the reason later. Her character is return with so much emotions first I thought she is extremely mean and self centered but you never judge a character with a single episode. I loved her banters with mi joo. I will take a minute to appreciate the persistence of her younger brother to make her appreciate his worth and love his interactions with young hwa. Young hwa is another innocent yet passionate second male lead in kdrama world. The bromance and sismance of this drama is worth watching. I love those flim references in this drama,some of them are like Easter eggs for you to find.
This drama ponder into diverse topics like equality,sexual orientations,understanding your self worth,workplace problems,medias interest in celebrity life and so on,yet it come across as a sweet, lovable slice of drama. I particularly loved the scene where dan ah realised her mistake and says sorry to young hwa friend for her harsh remarks. I think that's the highlight of this drama they actually says sorry for clearing problems. The chemistry between main leads is soooooo good. Next thing,which is amazing about this drama is there is "NO AWKWARD LOVE TRIANGLES". The story of this drama is so well written that there is no torturous forced breakups or no cliffhanger endings. The story is so free flowing if you are tired of dramas like mouse or beyond evil that drains you mentally then watch this one. its funny ,healing ,bringing together people from two different worlds. The drama teaches you self love and importance of healthy and communicating relations. In short it's a very relaxing,heartwarming,feelgood drama which may end up in your favourite dramas list.Take up this drama if you want in depth characters,storyline ,if you are a fan of thrilling drama fan or quirky romances chances are high that you'll drop this one. It's a slow paced romances with full of life characters. In short it's a legit ,underrated gem which needs some attention
P.s :you will get a cameo from our beloved second lead syndrome guy kim seon ho.
