Razones para ver el drama

Razones para ver el drama

Ki Seongyeom: Nos muestran a un protagonista que ha corrido gran parte de su vida, pero sin un objetivo, esto a causa de un padre que, para mantener la imagen de una familia perfecta, fijo sus metas. Aún así, él creció bastante bien y es una persona sin miedo a decir lo que piensa y no, no piensen que lo hace de manera arbitraria, por el contrario, sus palabras y la forma en que las dice suelen ser siempre un impulso para los demás.

Oh Mi-joo: una protagonista que ha luchado para hacer de su sueño su principal medio de vida, el cual es ser el puente entre dos idiomas. Es una persona independiente, que sabe su valor como persona y suele defenderse de los ataques de quién quiera humillarla. Sin embargo, ser huérfana la llevo a pensar que no tenía a nadie a su lado y por tanto suele ocultar sus sentimientos.

Pareja principal: Ambos son polos opuestos. Sin embargo, al transcurrir los episodios vemos cómo ambos aprenden a hacer de esto su fortaleza. Abordando temas como el amor propio y también lo importante de expresar sentimientos, saber decir lo siento y te quiero.

Pareja secundaria: Para la pareja secundaria también decidieron poner una poco convencional: una heredera por derecho a la empresa de su padre y un artista que aún está en la universidad. Algo que me gustó mucho de está pareja fueron los roles invertidos, a él lo vimos constantemente haciendo pucheros reclamando su atención mientras que ella, en su papel de mujer exitosa, era un tanto distante.

Clichés: ¿No les pasa que a veces sienten que ya se saben la historia de los dramas? Es decir, por lo regular es en el capítulo 8-9 que se dan el primer beso e inician su relación, pero para el capítulo 13 llegan los problemas y se separan para regresar a mitad del último capítulo 🤷🏻‍♀️. A mí me ha pasado muchas veces y no es malo, esa es la estructura en muchas historias (sobre todo las románticas), pero en este KDrama me sorprendieron, siempre que creí que tomaría un rumbo hacía cierto cliché me equivoqué. Y ya que lo vi en emisión, hubo momentos que tuve que esperar para ver esto, así que todo el tiempo quedé 🤡 por no confiar en la madurez de los protagonistas.

Naturalidad: Ver como las relaciones de todos los personajes se desarrollo, tanto de amistad como de amor, fue todo un disfrute. No vimos nada forzado, obviamente para darle su toque de humor hicieron que los primeros encuentros fueran algo poco comunes😅, pero en lo demás hasta podías identificarte. Pudieron abordar temas de la vida cotidiana sin exagerarlos o dramatizarlos y eso se los agradezco.

En conclusión, este será un drama que SIEMPRE recomendaré y diré que al menos le den la oportunidad porque les puede sorprender, incluso pueden ver referencias a muchas películas tales como John Wick, E.T y hasta Winnie Pooh jaja

Y si han estado dudando en si verlo, ignoren todos esos comentarios negativos y no lo piensen más. 😉

Run On (2020) - is just wow. It's been so long since I feel the romance vibes in my life but as I was watching this, I really feel so much love. I really am in love with this drama. This drama is one of the best dramas that 2020 has offered and since it ended in 2021, it is my first 2021 drama. This drama is really refreshing for me, especially that most actors playing the characters are not really the typical actors that I see in a korean drama.

I’m not a fan of Shin Se Kyung, but I always see her in other dramas that are quite popular, and honestly I don't really find her roles appealing. This time around though, I really like her role and how she portrayed the character. I cannot explain it but I really like her

The dramas lines are also astounding, great writing. Deep lines that somehow made me think and learn just by watching it. At first I find the lines a bit weird for my taste but then I have adapted how it should be interpreted.

The drama has a lot of side characters, and the first part of the series is quite uninteresting but as it goes, yeah, I was totally into it. Siwan as the male lead actor is the best choice, he is gorgeous and embodied the character really well. Siwan’s character is so cute, which is so far to the usual chaebol seen on other korean dramas.
My favorite line would be: ‘can you not teach me? How to break up? I felt the emotions in this line so much and I can't find to words to express how much this impacted me as a watcher. There is a tinge of reality in the drama and I don't find the romance over the top though the genre of the drama is romance.

FLUFFY WARM COZY VIBES!!!!

This drama is nothing special. The plot is basic and simple BUT OH BOY IT IS GOOD. There is just something ATTRACTIVE about the story where it tickles your lil heart uwu. NO BS LOVE TRIANGLES and cliche misunderstandings. In simpler terms the guy IS A LOST SAD PUPPY and the girl ENDS UP TAKING CARE OF IT and now he acts like an adorable loyal cute dog wanting HER ATTENTION.

Breath of fresh air? Friendship goals? Healing story? Cute rom-com? You can label this drama as anything because its relatable in every sense. It might not be as memorable as other action-pact drama but you will feel happy and giggly watching it. If you FEEL SINGLE AND LONELY LIKE ALMOST EVERY KDRAMA VIEWER then this show is the one for you....im kidding <3

How is this so well written?

It's from a rookie writer so the that that each character has such depth is so interesting. Why does it feel like nothing is happening when everything is happening at a subtle speed, at the right tempo, giving a strange flow you get pulled into? The dialogues go from funny to deep easily. The acting of the cast is great. I never enjoyed any other previous drama of the lead actress but I still gave this a go because I have always admired the acting of the main male leads. I was pleasantly surprised seeing how much she has improved.
The highlight of the show is how uniquely the four leads have been written. The strongest female lead might not be so strong and the weak in status one is not is one hell of a strong woman but if you notice all the women of this drama are strong independent, cool women. So that sure is refreshing.
One male lead is extremely unique, like a kid in an adult's body. A good and kind one. Very kind one. Another one seems like a kid but has the soul of a man, making him a paradox.
I am enjoying the human relationships portrayed in this drama and the friendship is so well written, not just between the male characters but between the female characters and the male characters and between all of them. The complexity of humane relationships is in full bloom here. Very raw, very real.
This drama has a strange power of making you happy after you have watched it when nothing exceptional is happening. This is its beauty.

I love it cause it's chill

It's one of my favorite K-drama of all time. It's my go to drama when I want to watch something but don't want to watch something new. The funny thing is that so far the people that I've seen talked about this drama either 1) they find it too boring then dropped it or 2) people who were able to finished it and ended up really loving it.

My sisters and I watched this because we had an Im Si Wan craze and started to marathon all his projects. So yeah, me liking the story maybe just because I'm biased as I am obsessed with Im Si Wan 😄 Plus, Ki Seon Gyeom is a breath of fresh air to every male leads out there. Talk about a green flag guy. Seon Gyeom's character development is smooth and natural. He did not just woke up one day then became more sensitive and caring on his surrounding. The writer took her time to build up the relationship with FL that's why for me it felt natural and I appreciate it.

I was actually worried that I won't like this drama because of female lead. Honestly, I don't like Shin Se Kyung's projects before but I realized what a great actress she is. I figured out that she's a good at acting but lacks right chemistry with her leading men. She and Si Wan had a very good chemistry that's why I was able to stay for the story. She was able to perfectly portray Mi Joo's no-nonsense, independent woman personality without being cringy. What I loved about Mi Joo's character was that she's been very consistent from start to finish. Her morals, actions, and personality all aligned in the story's progression.

Also, the second couple? Dan Ah and Yeong Hwa is so chaotic. My favorite thing is how interactions between the four main characters are so comedic and entertaining. Dan Ah and Mi Joo are almost too good to not be shipped.

Most of all, I love how the conflict is not that dramatic and complicated. Welll, aside from Seon Gyeom's dad? (which kinda resolved immediately and not dragged). Overall, it was pretty chill drama.

Obiettivi e sogni

Non è sicuramente l'azione a fare da protagonista in questo drama.
Quattro i personaggi principali, con storie diverse eppure alla fine si trovano tutti insieme a scontrarsi con le loro paure, le loro debolezze e i loro sogni.
L'ho apprezzato, è stata la mia confort zone per una settimana, non l'ho divorato, mi sono presa il giusto tempo per guardarlo, per apprezzarlo.
Mi è piaciuta la storia tra Dan-ah e Young-hwa più di quella tra Mi-joo e Seon‑gyeom. L'ho trovata vera, possibile, spensierata e dolce.
Alla fine forse mi aspettavo di più da questo drama.

Clever cute, funny and sweet

Clever, cute, funny and sweet. Every fan has a favorite light romedy and Run On is mine, my 'Paris' drama -- the romantic and sentimentalized view of Paris in light midcentury comedy is so like the image of Seoul now, a city made solely for lovers....4 lovers wander in and out of one of those great cafe settings where artists could meet patrons and lovers can eavesdrop jealously; no one suddenly develops a fatal illness and lovers' misunderstandings are honest mistakes, not willful blundering.

All 4 have intense and very different professional lives -- when love calls them out into each other's worlds, all four are clueless for awhile. Bridges have to be built, concepts have to be translated, lovers struggle to understand. A grown-ups' world where lovers can be childish with each other and men weep when they are sad instead of going all morose. Wonderful and fully developed supporting characters fill out the main leads' narratives.

Siwan's character, Ki Seon Gyeom (SG) at first seems very slow on the uptake. A sprinter on the national team, a compliant child of an actress mother and an awful hypocrite of a father, we see him through the eyes of Shin Se Kyung's xcharacter, Oh MiJoo (MJ). MJ is the heart of this piece, the real POV, a film translator and subtitler who sometimes does some live interpreting. Shin Se Kyung's voice is so wonderful, both warm and sarcastic with a wide range of emotional expression, and her portrayal of MJ is of an active, hardworking intelligent woman. She always keeps on running metaphorically forward towards a life she has chosen, with a great mane of auburn hair rippling like a flag behind her.

MJ's changing descriptions of SG inform our own view of him, at first 'odd' (seen. even by his teamates as distant/arrogant), then bafflingly restricted verbally, (she of course is very verbal with her friends). Suddenly in civilian clothes a real beauty, and slowly more expressive as bit by bit as he and she work their way to understanding the close tie they feel almost from the beginning. She and the viewer finally see him as adorable and his constant steady attention to her as the faithfulness of a true romantic lead.

Luckily so, because the second couple generates enough steam and smoke for a whole other drama. Written in classic point/counter point with the more realistic and careful OTP, Kang Tae Oh as Yonghwa (YW) and Choi Soo Young as Seo Danah (DA) are nearly equal to them in screen time, action and arc. This is a deliberate move because the underlying theme is an exploration of the poisonous remnants of a once rigid, systematic ,and highly detailed mostly male social hierarchy.

The longest arc in the story are the individual results of a scandal involving really violent bullying in the national team, where one member turns his anger and jealousy of SG upon a more vulnerable teammate. SG's life is changed by his solid moral compass and refusal to hide the scandal. MJ serves as interpreter for an interview the victim gives to the international press and she translates the subsequent English article for online publication. SG embarks on a journey of self-discovery with MJ, while his real personal strengths and abilities become clearer to the viewer.

The script contains many funny gender reversals and commentaries on the concept of hierarchy and power, some subtle, some played more broadly for laughs. A JTBC show with Kim Se Jin as composer. Writer -- Park Shi Hyun.

On a first watch I recommend looking forward to a real debacle of a birthday party, SG and NJ's first two meetings, and Dan-ah's and Younghwa's last fight.

Hope y'all enjoy Run On as much as I do!

On my top ten best ever kdramas list as of 12/24: Goblin, Hwayugi, Because This Is My First Life, Just between Lovers; the K2, Run On, Doom at Your Service; Tomorrow, Alchemy of Souls (earliest to latest) and Mr. Plankton .

This is the slice of life drama that all I ever need

Some may find thus drama boring as it doesn't that much surprises in the plot itself. But it's the characters for me. It may be lacking that oozing mindblowing plot twist but it has all the aspect that I was looking for for a character driven drama.

I couldn't love anyone else. Every characters are unique in their own ways and very much relatable. The first and second couple were so amazing. They were both unique in their own ways. Their relationship was also different from each other as they have different personalities but I think that's what makes it perfect. I admit that I love the second leads more because, I'm sooo in love with Soo Young her character and the love story between her and Tae Oh.

It greatly showed variety of people. Different kinds of people that has different personalities, choices, priorities and decisions that we don't often see in drama but are present in real life. I like how they portrayed Sun Gyeom's mother, she wasn't the typical mom that you will see in dramas. She priorities her career over her family most of the time, but that doesnt make me love her less since her decisions in life were justified. And I love that sweet development that she went through for the sake of her children in the end. I like that their father may be as bad as some other villains, but they showed a bit of his redemption in the end. An attempt to be better for his family.

One of the highlights for me, too, was how Dan-ah acknowledge her mistake of pretending to be gay just to avoid marriage. Which later on, she realized how hard it is really to be one. I like that she didn't look down on Yeong Hwa's bestfriend after knowing that he was gay.

There are so many things about this drama that I love and made my heart melt. But perhaps, it was the end that was the best for me. It was wrap up perfectly and sweetly. It wasn't happy ending indeed. Because it's not the end, but the end of that chapter in their life. Because those sequence of events that flashed shows that their life will continue.

My forever comfort drama

This drama is one of the best drama I ever watched. I'm totally emotionally attached. I love the story, the casts, the characters, the cinematography, the message they shared, and even the behind the scenes. The chemistry between the actors is so great. Every character is unique, and each actor can wonderfully play the role. There's nobody left behind.

At first, I expected nothing, I just wanted to watch something light with not so many conflicts. But yes, this drama's surprisingly great. Till I finished the last episode, I couldn't stop giggling, remembering every scenes, every quotes. Call me weak, but I can't move on from this drama.

Run On will be my forever comfort drama that I will watch it every time I need something warm in my heart.

Thank you for making this drama exist, dear director, scriptwriter, all the crews, actors, and everyone behind it. I love Run On so much.

Estou largando o dorama, mas mesmo assim dando uma nota boa porque ele não é ruim, a história ao todo é levíssima e não tem grandes acontecimentos, é um dorama "morno". Os personagens estão apenas vivendo um dia de cada vez e aprendendo a lidar com as coisas da vida, nada de muito extraordinário acontece, não é totalmente entediante mas não me prendeu muito a atenção. Imaginei que a história de amor entre os casais seria mais intensa mas é algo mais seguro e um pouco lento, como um slow burn saudável, eles combinam mas não consegui sentir uma química forte. Como no dorama a história é apenas a vida normal dos personagens não tem nada mais que se destacou, então ficou algo um pouco monótono. Mas é um dorama leve para assistir com calma, talvez no futuro eu dê outra oportunidade a ele.

meh... not really much but its cute

Big props to the careers of the main character. An athlete and a translator never heard of that one in a kdrama

Story line is non existent. Let me word that, if you are into lovey dovey cute shows then watch this, its more chance of you liking it. But if you like something more on the serious side with drama and conflict, this isn't really the one. So it all depends on your liking.
I'm going to keep watching just to see where its heading

CASTING/ACTING
Acting is good but I'm conflicted on the main boy. He reminds me of the main character from My Id Is Gangnam beauty. He has only one facial expression unless he is drunk. So I'm not sure if that's how his character is supposed to be. Otherwise looking at him is hilarious cause his face just screams "i dont care"

I WILL UPDATE WHEN I FINISH! BUT ITS WORTH IT TO GIVE IT A TRY
