Run On

So it started off nicely and then honestly actress portraying Dan Oh caught my eye. Loved her chemistry with the second lead actor but I thought she was very young and there u go..Typical korean flawless beauty! How can someone look so effortlessly beautiful at 30? Then I found out she was actually a member of girls generation, one of the most popular girl band in Korea whose name u hv probably heard of if u r into k pop! Is there really something that korean ppl can't do? Way to go versatility.

Have u ever finished a drama cz u LOVED THE SECOND COUPLE? Hell yes! This drama absolutely. The casting could have been better cz he didn't look like a college student. Ms Seo didn't look as old as they wanted to portray. She's literally my new lady crush. For some reason the lead couple's chemistry didn't appeal me. The lead actor's role was nicely developed and it was hilarious to see his reactions initially in the drama but he matured so much throughout the drama.

Episode 13 seemed best to me! That fight about Ms Seo's fake birthday was very nicely put. Each character boned with each other so nicely. Specially loved how a kdrama created a gay character.

Last episode had a dialogue like Happy ending are just fantasy and illusion created by Civilization. That's so true cz I was kind of hating how the almost didn't give the second couple happy ending. They kept the ending open. That's the best part.

I'm really not a huge fan of stereotypical korean romance dramas cause I find them kinda corny and shallow but this drama is a masterpiece. From the acting to the story line and the individual characters there's nothing I can complain about. It's so refreshing to see healthy non-toxic relationships portrayed in a drama, they're mature, realistic and makes you feel like you're watching something genuine. All of the characters even the supporting cast are so complex and interesting and they each have their own uniqueness. This is truly one of my all time favorite dramas I laughed and cried so much, I hope everyone gives it a watch!

Another drama i kept avoiding because of the rather boring narrative but i was pleasantly surprised, Run on is a very sweet romance drama starring Siwan and Shin Se-kyung. Siwan portraying a national athlete Ki Seon-gyeom stands up to bullying and violent practices between athletes and for that he is suspended from the team. Shin Se-kyung as an interpreter Oh Mi-joo meets Seon-gyeom as she is hired to translate for him. If course, they fall for each other. There are number of things i would like to highlight on this drama. First the character of Ki Seon-gyeom, a perfect athlete, incredibly high sense for integrity and fair play, stands up and looks out for his younger fellows. Innocent and in a good way, dumb. Siwan's voice is incredibly sweet, its tone and cadence was very pleasant to listen to. Another thing worth mentioning was the love story of the supporting roles, Seo Dan-ah and Lee Young-hwa. I dare to say that the dynamic and chemistry between those 2 were stronger than betwen the main leads.. and finally, in this drama you wont need to watch the annoying bickering and ridiculous characters that are present in every single kdrama, in Run on they are all more less normal ;) Overall very sweet slow burning romance, very good performance by all actors.

Korean Drama "Run On" is a healing slow-paced drama with a realistic view when it came to the romantic relationships. However, the drama's story other than the romance was weak. They didn't really expand on it, the family drama was rushly resolved, the sports theme that was pretty interesting at first with the scandal, was lukewarm and the side characters were added here and there to provide coverage of the gaps between the love stories.

The drama also lost its charm in the final episodes, with some boring scenes and a pretty slow pace. The product placement in this one was also ridiculous, with actual scenes being created for the sole purpose of the placement. Another minus of this drama was the fact that, except for the leading lady, the other characters felt pretentious at times, like they were trying hard to fit in the description of their personalities.

Other than that, the drama had a nice atmosphere, with a slow tempo and some nice aesthetics. The female lead was an interesting character and the performances from everyone in the cast were pretty good. The love stories had a realistic aspect to them, as well, which was refreshing and unique.

So, overall, 6.5 out of 10.
