Motivating TV Show
THANK YOU for making this tv show. I have been rewatching this, while running on threadmill, and haven't had enough of it, want more of this.The beautiful sceneries combined with sounds of foot steps and breathing are relaxing, motivating, then subtly getting more and more exciting toward the end.
The runners are unpretentiously showing their amateur and man-up sides, which make the whole show honest and pleasant to watch. I also enjoy the small talking of runners' private lifes, opinions, and humble touristic activities -- every attitude are genuine.
I wish to see them again (Ji Sung, Hwang Hee, Lee Tae Sun, Kang Ki Young) in different sites, since there are so many great places to run, in addition to marathon activities all year round. Maybe more entertainers/new member joining in next seasons.
Or, same core team member in different sport challenges as variable for next seasons. Like hiking-camping in USA, backpacking-biking across Europe, trekking in base camp Everest, sailing and diving in Indonesian underrated islands, Dragon boat racing in China, A competition between teams (baseball, basket, volley, football) etc... Same first timers / amateurs, similar goals.
In short, I think the worlds need more of this kind of motivating, elevating, genuine, exciting reality show.

I am so Lucky to find this drama
Nowadays, there are so many Asian dramas produced... Yet, not many of them are well crafted out. My True Friend is one of them.The story is heart warming (not too hot, not too much), realistically reflects the metropolitan lifestyle. Every characters (kids, gen y, gen x, bb boomers, elderlies) are well-acted, dialogues, body languange, human interactions of age gap all seems very natural, creates very believable chemistry between actors in every scenes. The product placement ads were good, too. "Cheesy moments" in comedy and romance still makes me laugh, sob and awwweee...
I can't believe, after watching so many other "recommended" Asian dramas prior to this one, I did not fast forward this drama, watching all 48 episodes attentively (I usually fast forwarding scenes, to minimize time spent on "Me Time").
I think this drama is underrated.
I am lucky to get entertained by this drama, despite the lesser points/stars compare to other popular dramas.
