That’s what I thought really. They just did not have chemistry and that will effect the drama for sure.

Yes? It’s one of those drama that empowers women but without trying so hard. Just showing it in a normal way.

Same here. I just enjoy watching this drama without too much drama or love triangle.

Have u watched rookie historian? It was the only drama that did not get very serious. They had a conflict but it did not get too serious or escalated to fights etc..it remained more lighthearted than other historicals I watched.

Run on is really awesome and relaxing. No love triangle and we can root for both couples really.

True, can’t believe time went so fast

I just like how no one is tacking the villain dad seriously. It’s another thing this drama is braking of from other kdramas. Usually such dads are kinda feared and shown more respect than they deserve. But here, it’s just no one take the man seriously.

Ya but it’s on Netflix and many Koreans are watching it on Netflix too. It’s trending on s.Korea on Netflix as I saw on some Instagram posts. The bad thing is that it’s restricted in many regions like South America and Europe. I don’t know why Netflix did not show it worldwide.

I enjoyed the Chinese one more. It was funny, silly and just hilarious. I liked that the man soul was there and how it was very clear. The actions of the character were also more male oriented in the cdrama. For example, she/he holds grudge and did not just forgive the attempted murder. I found this one to have lost a lot of the charm. The Chinese one was low budget for sure and this one is a huge production but I personally don’t care for that. I enjoyed the silliness of the stuff and how they where made with the low budge such as the costumes and the fighting stuff. They were just so funny and made fun of the serious stuff in historical dramas.

It still shows 8.5 to me.

The king is a real historical figure who was killed at the age of 32. It will be strange if a drama change the course of history. They may give them a happy ending before his death maybe.

What is likeable about it is the dialogue and relationships. It’s not a drama with a lot of drama such as revenge or love triangle. It’s a drama about friendship and relationships. We r seeing how people r imperfect but trying their best. We r seeing how the first lead couple and second lead couple are falling in love. The dialogue is very smart and fresh. If these things don’t sound interesting to u and if slice of life dramas don’t appeal to u, then maybe its not for u. U could give the next couple of episodes a go and see how u feel about it. I watch it for the good feel and vibes it gives and how the dialogue is so unpredictable and intriguing yet the characters are so relatable. Also, unlike some other dramas here, the rating is really well deserved.

@myralee345 and @justsomerandomcoolnu, people have different taste. It’s not necessarily that u like something that others have to like it too. And s.Koreans have been in this game for long time. From what I noticed, the most popular showed there these days are stuff like penthouse, the world of the married, sky caster etc...Even start up and it’s ok to not be ok got between 3-5% rating while penthouse just finished the last episode with almost 50% rating. And the king eternal monarch was recently voted the worst drama of the year in s.Korea while it was really popular with internationals.

@paperdoll and @cloudsheyo, it was posts on both Twitter and Instagram that I saw. Something along the lines of what s.Koreans think of true beauty. The comments were a bit brutal but also entertaining. They also commented something along the lines that this drama belong to the time of boys over flowers and that they have moved past that cringe stuff a long time ago.

What I read so far is that Koreans r making fun of the drama and the acting. They say its very cringe and it might have worked 10 years ago but not in 2020/2021. Some were also saying they just watch to make fun of the bad acting. I did not see much about a divide of ml or sml so far. They had that going more with start up but actually 84% of s.Koreans were team sml in start up according to the polls.

U can edit ur review and change the ratings :)

She can be bi too. That would be really intriguing in kdrama lol

She is awesome. My favorite character in the drama

Her rookie historian was really good too.

What people r enjoying in run on is the unique dialogue and how unpredictable it is. It’s like they make fun in the normal stuff shown in other kdramas and that what’s awesome in it. The fact that it’s the writer first work is a plus. It’s a slice of life with no love triangle, revenge etc.. and might it appeal to everyone for sure. But maybe people but many r liking it and it’s getting more attention every week.
