Magda USA This is my second time watching, Run On, and I love it! All cast members are great! Especially the 4 main characters. Both male main characters are sooooo good looking! Yum Si Wan, is so beautiful! He’s really good looking! Both female lead actress are beautiful! And all supporting cast great! It’s a good Plot and keeps giving. Worth watching a third time soon!

Kdrama Llama A nice show that did what I needed it to do at the time, an easy watch that makes me smile. I liked the ML and FL, how they’d both had tough childhoods for totally different reasons and the growth of their relationship over time. Very cute. The 2ML was also a favourite but I found his love interest a bit one note I.e. really mean almost all of the time!

I think this is the first show I could really notice the “write as they shoot” approach to KDramas, the first few episodes felt tighter and things got more unfocused as time went on, I personally don’t think there was enough to the second lead couple to carry the show, no significant family or friends outside of the lead couple so not enough colour and texture to them… That said, I did love Mr Jeong and his cat, there are some standout songs on the soundtrack too (which I’m listening to now!).

Kels M Decent KDrama the 2nd leads were much more exciting with undeniable chemistry. I really would’ve preferred if they were the first leads personally. so the leads of the show were quite boring to me and I’m not sure if it had to do with the writing or the actors I feel like in this particular case it had to do with the actors they were a bit dry and I don’t know I just didn’t believe them. Also, I wish it was more of a plot. It just seemed to be going into multiple smaller plots and kind of made the story confusing. Plus, I didn’t understand the role of some of the supporting characters. It was a fun watch with a really good actors and fantastic fashion however, I feel like he lacked substance. I would not watch again that’s just my personal opinion and I feel like towards the end. I had to rewrite some of the endings because I was kind of annoyed with how the show ended. Solid 4 out of 10.

Thalia Bestt drama ever ♡♡ so healing and relaxing to watch. I love all the characters.

Wm. Bud C. Really? No one has committed on this series this far? Well, someone always has to be first. Just looking at the cast, I see such wonderful talent throughout the entire show. There are some slow areas however, the actors in these scenes carries it through well enough so as to not tempt the viewer to change the channel or at least hit fast forward. Run On is shot in the unmistakable style of Korean Rom-coms. The lead actors are the type the viewer falls in love with or fantasizes to be. Run On is a series that the boyfriend or husband can watch without his significant other and not be worried that his friends would give him flack for haha. 4 . 2 ⭐'s

Susan Main leads no chemistry. Good concept - 2nd leads so much more interesting, they carried it.

Gremlin Love this drama.. well written and great casting! The storyline was very interesting, all the characters stand out in their way. Balance screentime between the main leads and second lead, not too forget all other characters involved. The happily ordinary ending, exactly how this drama should end. Overall worth of the time!!!!

ira an interesting drama.. only watched it for the second leads romance tbh, was rooting for them until they broke up??? that absolutely made me upset ?

Sampson I went back to watch this again for Kang Tae Oh and Shin se Kyung. But it is very well written and the sub titles are accurately translated and legible. Too many KDramas translate awkwardly then put them against a white background so you can’t see them. Love to Hate you, a new drama was badly translated then you couldn’t see half of it! Run On is a cute story, beautifully written and filmed. Maybe lacked a little spark but was well worth watching.

Ish I really like the lead and supporting actresses, I find the male characters very effeminate and whiny. In the end I'm not sure I like the film that much, a bit too messy for me.

monn someone knows who is the real painter of the Lee Yeong Hwa's paintings????

Teseneri The show should have been shorter, the storyline is too simple to extend it as they did. The main couple is cute but the second couple on and off story is just too much. I wouldn't recommend it

puren What happened to the writer of this tv series? Also what is her actual name? Some websites says it's Park Min Sook while others say Park Shi Hyun. Which one is it? There is no other works belong to these both names? I'm just curious because the dialogues in this drama were one of the most unique ones among the k-dramas. I would like to watch more work from this writer but there is not info about her.

IMO Enjoyed drama & all the characters. Worth watching, but noticed male characters (Ki & Lee) who have been emasculated male. Would women date these men who are sweet, gentle, nurturing & cry more than most women? Seems women could easily relate to Ki & Lee’s emotion. Wonder if men relate to Oh & Seo. Interesting characters, funny too.

Mina It's a cosy movie, I honestly watched it cuz the scene oh-min-jo argued with the producer. But now I've watched it, it's an inspiring movie, I just love the fact that ki-seom-geom is a wholesome guy.i really enjoyed the movie,it has a little of everything.

Rc137 Watching on Netflix. Good drama. Watching mainly because of Shin Se Kyung. Been watching her since she was in “Deep Rooted Tree” and “Girl Who sees Smells”. She looks exactly the same. Could still pass as a high school student. Not being able to comment on Netflix is both frustrating and a “blessing” (don’t have to read annoying comments by clueless film critics). Am at episode 9. The scene where Mi Joo argues with the Director is hilarious ???.

Bob I just finished this series last evening, and I don’t even remember the ending. That is just how un-memorable this drama was. I do not understand how it got it’s high user rating. It just didn’t have a very impactful storyline. Can’t recommend it.

Khen This is multi-episode moving advertisement for Thom Browne!

Rose The simple but very sincere storytelling and the main couple is the best part of this drama and the reason why it’s unique and different from any other korean series i’ve seen. Especially the ML, you can see funny and cute mls in so many different kdramas, and he’s actually a boring character like, how can he be like that, yet he’s sooo strangely charming and sweet idkwhy. Somehow he’s intriguing in so many ways, like what’s so special about the other mls when they’re just too plain and predictable compared to him. Well, i think this drama deserves more appreciation and love. When it comes to acting, well the 3 other leads are good but Siwan is on another level, perfect portrayal of the quite complicated character for a korean romcom series.

Dramawatcher Wow, what a drama! What’s the chances of having 5 actors you don’t like or are very bad actors all in one show? Can it even exist? This is the closest I’ll go near the show.

Reny Can anyone please share the filming location? I am interested in Yeong Hwa parent's hometown.

Mary Just watched this for the 2nd time and it hooked me again right from the start. Excellent primary and secondary leads. Nice to see homosexual characters portrayed respectfully and not as a joke as they still often are in Korean series. At first, both times, the plot seemed a little slow but, somehow, I couldn´t stop watching and binged it both times.

Cath I love everything about this drama: amazing chemistry between Sekyung-Siwan and Sooyoung-Taeoh, peaceful story, kind-hearted friends, cozy apartment, cool office, and so on.. watched it like 3 times and still loving it!

10/10

yeyeseo P.S. sorry for the wrong grammars, if there is any hehe.

The drama is so good! The actors portrayed their characters so well. The plot is also amazing, I think it broke the stereotype that men would always be the rich person in the story and the girl will just fall in love to him. Well, for that rich man and lovely girl stereotype, Run On doesn't have that kind of story which I really approved. Se Kyoung and Siwan are both good actors, they have a very unique chemistry and heart for each other -- heart that doesn't translate love as "lots of kissing scenes", just patting and encouraging each other made them good as a lead couple here. The two actors was able to create a more unique bond by just looking at the eyes of each other, eating fried chicken and watching movies together and supporting each other. Those things are just simple yet so precious. Their story is really amazing! Both of them are really cute and good looking, I actually have a crush on Siwan hahahahaha.

For the second lead couple here, well I'd be lying if I say that "they didn't bring tremendous happiness to me". Sooyoung screams elegance, meanwhile, Yeong Hwa is handsome! He looks like Jaehyun of NCT. The two of them are like oil and water from 1st to 10th episodes, simply because they don't get along due to Sooyoung's attitude here. But then, it seems like they love each other after all, the two of them just need some adjustments towards each other. I love the both of them! They are not cringe, and they also get along with the lead couple which is very rare to happen for a kdrama romance. I noticed that Siwan and Yeong hwa has a lots of scenes together as a friends, same with the two women. I just like it that there are no awkwardness between the lead and second lead couples.

I think the kpop idol here, which is Sooyoung's sibling, just needs to improve his acting more because he wasn't really able to convey his lines with emotions.

For me, I don't think so that there is any heavy scenes, all scenes are just good, of course there are problems in the story, but it didn't drag the whole plot. I really love it! I am also happy to see Ryu abel here! Overall, this drama is good and heartwarming.

Rate: 9.3/10

Akins I really love this series. ❤️

Fullheart5 I disagree with comments about second female lead…… I think she is doing a perfect job. They all are. Well balanced, lighthearted drama……. Nice change from some I have watched recently which makes you wonder what is going on……………although surprised at the mentioning in the drama of a few things that have always seemed taboo in the past.

Jona Siwan and Sekyung's chemistry is undeniably soo good, without having too much intimate scenes. They basically has only one passionate kiss scene and yet still wholesome. But every time they're together you can feel the tension, the thrill. Whoever says they have 0 chemistry probably only watches romance dramas with so many skinships and kissing, and thought that that just the only source of great chemistry, lol absolutely not. ❤️

Sofia A very well balanced drama, without unnecessary plotting. Enjoyed and loved every last bit of it! Totally recommend.

Jaine I agree with Maggie's comment...the second female lead was so rude. It would have helped if they had a back story of how she was entrained as a child to be so heartless and clueless of how she hurts others...I had to skip her parts at times. (I watch Dr Ramani videos which explain narcissism but this second lead takes the cake. She is horrible)...Then others commented on the wooden male lead...he also seemed to have a trauma from early on that a back story might have helped and when he finally broke down, (just as the female lead had fallen apart in an earlier episode). Instead of linking to his grief she came off as maternal and stalwart. She could have used the moment to bond, helping him see how much alike they were and that he didn't have to be embarrassed......I can only conclude that the writer has a thing about painting the women in a certain non vulnerable light...that said, I agree with other comments saying the other characters were interesting...and the emphasis on translation and precision was fascinating...oh, and I must say; I lost empathy for the female lead when she arrogantly manipulated him about the contacts which was made worse when she acted maternal as I already mentioned...I figured at that point she really didn't love him as an equal. So I just couldn't give her the praise I had given before that scene. I am forgetting why he would even fall for her.

Adinia 10/10 really love this series

Terry Ok I really liked this series. I even enjoyed the fl for the first time and I usually feel like she is the least favorite in the series I've watched her in. But I think MiJoo was the perfect character for her. I also feel like SeonGyeom is played by the perfect actor. I just didn't feel like there was any chemistry between them. There was absolutely no reason they should like each other. It was just them liking each other. Strange. I also didn't understand the constantly reaffirming that SeonGyeim was handsome. He cute and there are moments when he gave JiChangWook, but he wasn't even the most handsome in his group. Literally every guy around him was more appealing looking, wooShik, TaeWoong, YuJin, YeungHwa and YoungIl were all better looking. I absolutely loved DanAh's character.

Hellen I love this!! Very admirable leads,the lead couple, yeah they’re too good to be true but that’s actually the point! We need to adapt that kind of realtionship for ourselves, at least.. And what else can we ask for, for fictional characters, at least we can see such rare personalities in kdramas with little flaws, not toxic at all, especially the male lead. He maybe strange, awkward, but he’s very..very..very sweet and adorable,and innocent?.. plus, he’s effortlessly funny, and i can’t actually explain why, but he’s a fun to watch! and i don’t exactly know if such personality exists in real life but i think there is, somewhere..i wish... I just love this show, plot wise it’s not grand, no plot twists or whatever, just ordinary problems people face in their every day lives. But it’s still engaging and entertaining bcoz of the dialogues, characters and movie references and parodies, which i think is sooo creative of the writer. When it comes to acting, i find the acting natural and smoothe, i think Sekyung did a good job, portraying mijoo, no pressure, not forced just right.. but.. i’m absolutely impressed with Siwan. Like a lot of people think he’s exactly like his character bcoz even in interviews, he’s soo immerged with seongyeom.. the acting soo on point for the character.. i can’t totallu say he’s expressionless?..i’ve seen him smile, i’ve seen him got angry.. lol.. in ep 2.. and with some interactions with his father.. i’ve seen him expressed his emotions for certain scenes throughout the series.. but some are very strange emotions, and facial expressions, and that’s intentional coz seongyeom is such a weird human being.. he’s not like anyone else.. he’s surely giving blank gazes.. but that actually says a lot for a person like him.., which is enough for me to think Siwan is sooo good of an actor.. coz that’s exactly seongyeom! He created a solid and distinct personality for seongyeom.. The character is so complex for most of us to ever understand.. and i can’t think of any actor can play this beautifully and meaningfully other than Siwan..he’s actually a smart and effective actor...so in short, Run On and Siwan are both brilliant! ; >

Ellie Male lead like a wooden doll. Lovely female lead should escape this drama as she could do much better. How did she get trapped in this stupid show with people who can’t act? She also speaks beautiful English. 2nd lead guy better.

Ellie Make lead looks like a wooden doll but the female lead is cute and lively. Not sure if I can finish this, it’s like an amateur drama class. Oh Mi Joo should find a better drama.

Rachel What a daft stupid show. So staged and overacted. Saved from disaster by ShinSr Kyung. Just a mess. Don’t waste a good talent like her. She was so good in Black Knight.

Anna Lee Sooyoung is fabulous. About halfway through, I started fast-forwarding through lead story. Now, watching all I can with Sooyoung. She's best here. Loved her make-up and clothes too. May like "Tell Me What you Saw" better - we'll see. Anti-fan is fun, but I like her as strong, aloof, elite . And won over by younger nice guy.

Rut119 The best definition of this drama is the lean muscle without fat. no nonsense support role, no useless dialog, no unnecessary scene. The athlete lead actor and the interpreter are just a center of the story , the people around them are very interesting too. the ex-girl friend agency, the wreck family, athlete team ,siblings . Each character have their own story which reflex the real life that we confront it everyday but the director tell the "life sucks" story in gentle way.

Leo Does anyone know who the artist of the paintings that Yeonghwa paints is? I've been searching for so long..

David Davidson Anyone know the beach location where yeong hwa's parents' house was?

Maggie I love the first lead couple.. Loved the female lead.. Loved how she was able to stand up for herself without making other people seem less of a human.For me strong people are the ones that can stand up for themselves even when they have nothing.

Honestly i ddnt love the second female lead, found her rude.. People are calling her strong but i hate people that use money and status to walk all over people.. She thought she had the right to be rude to people but when people talked back she said they were rude.

Kuragari This was my very first Korean TV drama and the way they portrayed every character in a completely realistic way moved my heart. I loved every moment of it. Their subtle way of making us understand the love they had for themselves and others can hardly be seen in a lot of shows. When the story started by saying that it was a story of a nutjob, a loser, a psychopath and a piece of trash, it really delivered. The show didn't shy away from breaking down certain emotions which if not explained leaves gaps in our understanding of the characters. In some cases, even if we understand how the character feels, it makes it better and more relatable when these emotions are actually shown. It made me feel a sense of kinship to them. The characters in the show really cherished each other and helped them grow. The show showed how healthy relationships are and how we learn to love and understand ourselves to be able to love another. I really appreciate the creaters for making such an amazing story and sharing it with the world.

It was a perfect show, and I wouldn't want anything to change in the story.

Roberta I am still watching this series. I finished episode 13. While it is slow compared to other dramas, that is kind of what I like about it. Mostly everything makes sense in terms of character development and why the couples fall for each other. Especially the secondary couple. I also like when they get completely melodramatic and somehow it becomes comedic. If you are willing to watch something slow, then I would totally recommend this just depends on the type of drama watcher you are. I liked the main characters, I liked how different Seongyeom was. While he seems too good to be true, his character seemed that he wasn’t able to think for himself and now he is breaking out of his shell. I liked that. I also really liked the lead female character too. I didn’t believe in the secondary couple but I really enjoyed them too. I think it’s cause of the way it was developed. Again, this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but it is enjoyable and a chill drama. There are funny parts and dramatic parts.

Softy Ok, so generally I don't feel need to leave review here for any drama but I want to say something as people really check this site for reviews and I don't want anybody to get confuse this drama as bad. First thing ,for people saying that male lead is boring ,these are the same people who wants male lead to be always CEO or something like mean handsome guy who always drags Female lead here and there and treat her like trash then fall in love. So if you want something like shitty and cheesy rom com then don't watch this drama to just leave bad comments here.

Second thing , for commenting on siwan acting go watch Strangers From Hell or incomplete life , if you are not able to understand the story or character of ML then it is your problem that you are dumb not the actor.

Third thing , yes this drama is slow paced but that's the point , you need time to fall in love and you need time to communicate with your partner.

Last thing , this is very beautiful drama and only for people who wants to see some real relationship story ,if you want lot of cute scene like any rom com ,,just don't watch please

Sela @Xara I don't think you've seen any of his other works to say that. He's a classy actor, you know. And in Run On, no one plays the role of the odd Seongyeom better than any other actor. I can not imagine. Shame on you. Come watch Étrangers from the hell or Misaeng or thé attorney. I hope my comment doesn't get deleted for responding to baseless comments from haters

Suneo Yim Si-Wan Level is Cannes Actor. Very strange to see your comment, @Xara :)

Brenda There’s no suitable actor better than Siwan to play as Ki Seon Gyeom. As a character who’s complicated and somewhat odd or weird, he played him absolutely amazing cos it’s very very convincing, that is why you find him too boring, bcos that’s what he really wanted you to feel about him. Even, I, myself got confused if he’s really acting cos it felt really natural. About being expressionless (which is for me, it’s just his way of saying “okay, I’m giving you my attention, but I really don’t care”), well I think sometimes actors need to exaggerate some nuances, for it to be more engaging for the viewers. It’s not being unnatural or not being able act. As an actor, he needs to creative to bring out definite, distinct and identifiable attributes of the character that the viewers will going to pay attention to, more importantly cos he’s the protagonist. Wether we gonna hate him or love him, or even make it to be too confusing for us. He wanted us to see how his expressions change whenever he’s with different kinds of people, by overstating his being ‘expressionless’. BUT, he’s really not expressionless all the time, you just need to look beyond on how he communicates base on his complex nature. So, if you truly watched and understand the character and the whole simple plot, you can actually differentiate his interactions with Mijoo compare to his friends and all other characters. You notice how he always smiles and shows emotions whenever he’s with his girl. When you say all his expressions are the same in every situations, I don’t think so, cos that’s not what I’ve seen. Sometimes, eyes are enough to give you the emotions that a whole face cannot fully convey. Siwan acts in character, by the way he understands it and show it to us. He needs to create the character of Ki Seon Gyeom, and which he actually did very well. He presented us an unpredictable character that made us confused of what he really felt, and left an impression, while having those ‘expressionless face’.. which is truly a Ki Seon Gyeom unique characteristic. Actually, the progression of his character is very clear and noticeable, even if it’s just a slight development, cos he still continues to grow, and it’s impressive on how Siwan portrayed it to us in the smoothest way. TBH, I’m not saying Siwan is better (or the best maybe) than any actor I’ve seen,(at least when it comes to his peers) but in my opinion he is on a different level when we talk about acting. Like, he has his own league. So, judging his ability when you only watched a single show of him, sorry, but it makes me lol.

ym I like Im Si Wan acting as Ki Seon-Gyeom. He is not a sociable person at first that is why he is boring at some point. Later, he slowly try to understand his junior Kim Woo-Sik and a lady he is attracted to Oh Mi-Joo. He makes a lot of effort and become more comfortable mixing with people. He is very sweet and patient with his girlfriend Mi Joo. He also care for his sister and mother. Thumb up! Shin Se-Kyung talk very fast in this drama, amazing. She is cute in this drama. But I dont like her character a bit impatient with her boyfriend and upset all the time. SooYoung as Seo Dan-A is very good. She has a high class look and innocence at the same time. Kang Tae-Oh as Lee Yeong-Hwa also good. He is young but quite match with Seo Dan-A. He is attractive, mature and considerate. Touching to watch him love Seo Dan-A so much. Bravo to all casts and crews!

Xara The male lead here is so boring. This is the first drama of him that I've watched and I will never watch his drama again. I didn't like him. His acting is so boring. His facial expressions Are All The Same! Wth! I feel like he doesn't want to be there and he's not giving his 100 percent, geez. If it's another male lead this would've been better.

Shin Se-Kyung as usual giving her 100 percent in acting! Her acting and energy are always on point and that's what I love about her. She doesn't disappoint. It just sucks she was partnered with this boring male lead. I hope she gets a better leading man next time. The actor here doesn't match her great acting skills and it's so frustrating. This boy's acting is the same in all different scenarios. His facial expressions don't even change. Urgh! I'm so frustrated.

Oggy Si wan is soo awkward here. I'm only finishing this because of the secind lead couple

Jones Does anyone know what the name of the intro song is at the start of every episode? Cuz shazam cant seem to detect it either

seonggok run on definitely has a good best superior well-written script,. i do love it so much and i recommended so much to everybody all around the world even the people who just passed by

babominyeo @definitely a gem it's located in donghae, gangwon-do. Run On is sucha beautiful drama. Never get tired of their unique convos.

Shin se kyung pretty Im on ep 4 and im sorry i want to stop watching ? not my plte of taste i guess

Definitely a gem An elite modern drama! It portrayed LGBT issue and environmental awareness. I watched it because of the leads but I loved the secondary couple as well. A must watch in netflix!!

Faith Lane this is a good drama, the storyline is nice, the casting did a good job portraying each character. what amazed me is their shooting location, some location especially the beach is so pretty. i wonder if anyone of you know where the shooting location took place, if you do, perhaps you can share it with us here? thank you

Jill Showing the simple lives of different classes of people through creative writing, is what made this drama so special. Imagine inserting a bunch of movie references and making drama within a drama? That’s so cool! Plus, the perfect portrayal of weird and awkward but somewhat relatable primary characters, I can't understand at what point this drama became boring. The deep conversations and every single interaction between the Seon Gyeom and Mijoo, honestly, I never got bored.

Mrs. Hanantyo This drama makes me relax and enjoy while watching. Its good drama after a long busy day . Loves the second couple

So Hyun I really really love the story!!!! <3 I love all the cast! They're all good!!

Carol Smart conversations, lovely sceneries and perfect chemistry between Se Kyung and Siwan. Ah, and I also just found out Sooyoung is actually a great actress!

Rozilawati Kasran I cannot understand why people think this drama is boring unless they fail to understand the drama. This is one of the best k dramas for me and Iove the character development. The plot is well paced and refreshing with the usual plot twist that is characteristic and typical of k drama. I love this drama in its sincere simplicity in discusding about love, the way Touch Your Heart did, my other favourite drama. I am a new fan of Im Si Wan! ?

Jules I don't usually leave comments on here after watching a drama but Run On is probably one of my favourite dramas I have seen in a while and thought I should share my thoughts.

I really love how the story isn't to dramatic and intense, even though there are some moments, but I also love how it isn't dramatic about the romance to much. For example, how the second lead could be attracted to the first lead and leaves the watches interested on who they are going to end up with. I also love the characters personalities and thought Seon Gyeom and Mi joo were a perfect match for each other.

The only thing that I would of liked added is in the last episode. It isn't really very important but in the last scene when all the characters are in the movie theatre, it would of been nice to see them all waiting at the end and seeing that Mi Joo translated the movie as she gets excited when she sees her name on the screen. However I did like how it transitioned from the movie screen to the BTS.

As I said before, I don't normally write one of these so I don't really know what else to say, but I thought I would share that this is a really good drama and I recommend watching it if you haven’t already seen it. <3

Brian Love the writing on this show... Amusing and for a change arrogant twits get some comeback.

Lucy Lee Yeong Hwa.....where is the location of his childhood home in this series? I’d love to vacation there. I’m hooked on KDramas after having some Korean International Students. They barely watched TV as they were busy studying. This is one of my favourites.

Lisa Manoban actually, I get why other people sees this drama as boring. It’s not boring actually, if you would’ve just appreciate each conversation and will look up to the characters, you will be amazed on how realistic they act and the storyline is delicately portrayed. You will learn a lot from this drama, it will give you butterflues too. If you’re hesitating to watch this drama, thinking you’ll just waste your time, you’re not. You’ll regret not watching this.

Angel Zhou The best trait of this drama is how realistic the female lead's characters and dialogues are... Like she is the best character and liven up the drama's mood. Shin Sekyung never disappoints. Oh Mi Joo jjang!

Ki-Seon Gyeom was very sweet, and his character development is also realistic. At first Im Siwan's acting looked very stiff but as the story goes, I'm convinced that it was just the character he plays, because when he roleplays as other characters (in Oh Mi Joo's movie translation jobs), he was soooo good portraying each.

Anyway don't pass this drama, made me smile a lot. And hurt me a bit too because of the second couple and that gay friend. I'm torn jinjaa.....

Thank you Run On team!

Stacy This one in few days. I still think that spontaneous dramas – best dramas!! Main characters inspired me and made my time off, so I have fresh and awesome impression! Thanks to cast and creators for worthwhile kdrama ❤️ But I really wanted to see Ryan...

Sonnet I loved this drama! 15 minutes into the first episode and I was hooked. Im Si-wan is awesome on screen - very easy to watch. Loved the relationship between the female leads too, it was quirky and fun. They cracked me up! Overall I'd give this drama an A. I appreciated the storyline and character development. And it had a happy ending :)

Pau I came here after watching Penthouse 1 and 2. A much needed breather. Enjoyed so much. I love the leads!

Gummy Im still in the early eps but there’s something about this drama that’s so unique compare to the one’s I’ve been watching before. The humor is so lowkey that it really caught me up. The adorable personalities of the leads were very pleasant and cute. Plus the ost is very daebak!

Pearl I usually read comments before starting a drama but for some reason, I decided to watch this drama without reading the comments. I didn't watch it earlier cause I was too obsessed with True Beauty. Anyways, I'm So Glad I didn't go to the comment section because all the negative comments would have made me miss out on this Materpiece. Run On is literally the best drama I've seen in a while. There are so many lessons if you can open your heart to decipher the messages hidden in each word, each scene, each action. Im Si Wan is an amazing actor. He easily portrayed his feelings with his eyes. He had a different emotion for each situation. Of course Shin Se Kyung's acting is so natural and beautiful as always. Then there's Sooyoung. Like she did so so well. Thumbs up to her. And of course Kang Tae Ho. The entire cast did an amazing job. But most importantly, it's the OST's that caught my heart. I literally cried whenever 'sorry' started playing and the song is still stuck in my head. The drama was so amazing that I watched some scenes more than five times cause it was so beautiful and touching.. I lack words to express how awesome this drama is. I just want to say, If You're Still Unsure Whether To Watch Run On, Stop Thinking, Ignore The Negative Comments And Watch It Now!!! It's Definitely Worth Your Time. I'm off to watch it again and again. Bye...

Mega Watching this drama just because Im Si-Wan My Loveeeeee. Please comeback with more drama. So handsome. Love youuuu

M P One of my favorite dramas ever. The dialogue and acting were amazing. It was just so well crafted. It’s definitely on a much higher level than most dramas I’ve watched. There’s symbolism, foreshadowing - a lot going on. I think I would have to watch it again to really dig into all of it. For people who are saying this is boring, I’m a bit baffled. I’m now a huge fan of Im Siwan. What a wonderful job he did breathing life into a unique character. I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Hopefully you like it as much as I have.

blue665 Extremely boring, but if you like relaxing, slow and family type of dramas where nothing really happens then you might enjoy it.This drama is super uneventful and dragging, I don't even know how I managed to finish it. The characters are super flat and their personalities is not something that I found truly likeable.

a socially responsible and relevant series Themes you can see in this drama -women empowerment -being inclusive in terms of gender -being environmentally friendy -recycling recycling (how it was incorporated in the script was just so funny) A big kudos and thumbs up for this drama! And may I say more dramas should follow suit..

Osang I don’t get it why the ratings are low. This kind of drama is one of a kind. I salute the scriptwriter of this drama and kudos to all the actors, directors and staff of this drama. Dialogues were amazing, characters were well portrayed and the drama itself was light but heart warming. I really loves all the characters in these drama. Super thumbs up to Run On...

Wonderfully and beautifully made I'm at episode 10 and I am so glad I ignored the negative comments and just started this series. This kdrama does not have an original story nor unique plot but it certainly is elegantly different from your usual romance or slice-of-life kdrama. I think the leads are perfect, the second leads could have a series on their own. The bickering is funny hilarious and does not seemed forced. I will be stalking writer Park Min Sook. Apparently, she's a junior writer under Kim Eun Sook who brought us DOST, Goblin and TKEM. This is her first work and I can't wait for her next project!

RECOMMENDED this drama is A GEM. Definitely worth watching. The chemistry is overlappingly sweet.yeah,very mature love story.if you end up not liking it thats fine.Some people will find it very interesting rather than other toxic k drama

Critique If you want to watch this for romance just focus on dan and yeong hwa moment. While if you here for main lead moment of mi joo and yeon I suggest to watch rookie historian instead of this one. Lastly the idea/thought of this series is simple and if you want to know it juat watch it. Also as we all know this series can be either good/bad it depends on our series adventure satisfactions, but for me this is just like Record of Youth.

Someone If you're wondering whether to watch it or not, please do watch it. This drama is a healing drama. It tells you the beauty and reality of life. Not all heroes have to be strong-headed and rough but men can also be fragile. You can't stay cheerful everytime after experiencing the muds of life and that is portrayed here well. You won't always fall in love at first sight but it is bonded through deep conversations, friendship and similarities.

Dramanoob Overrated. Very little story. The main couple are boring, no chemistry. The second couple are Wayy better. Overall, don't waste your precious time.

Nana I really enjoyed this drama. I enjoy everything Siwan does he’s such a great actor. Seon Gyeom was so cute? The two main leads had beautiful chemistry. Overall a really adorable and unique drama

Bella I find the drama a bit weird at first. I couldn’t understand the character, their interaction, their conversations. I mean i feel like I couldn’t reach the deeper meaning of what they are trying to convey but as i watch more episodes, somehow i found that the drama has their own charm. I like the fact that the drama is very light nothing frustrate me (at least up till ep 10, cause I haven’t finish it yet). I love how ki seongyeom and oh mijoo help each other grow. And ki seongyeom character is actually charming. His expressionless face and his blunt talk, for me it’s shows that he actually has gone through a lot. He endure everything to the point he is already numb. And he still turn up to be a kind and selfless man. I don’t know how it will be if the character was played by other actor, but for me im siwan did good. I enjoy this drama. It is probably not my best drama but it makes me feel quite good.

Suneo I believe this drama is unusual and not boring because of the unique character Ki Seon-Gyeom played by Im Si-Wan :-)

Marmotte Just finished it and Ioved it ! I started it because I saw some funny moments on yt and it was worth the time. The interactions between the characters was superb abd I especially loved the main couple. The second lead couple was cute too but I really like how MJ and SG always had deep ( I don't if it's the right word in English, I just translated from french) conversations about self-respect, self-love and just life. I also loved how all the characters reflected on their actions and admitted that sometimes they make mistakes. A really humane drama.

SKye Shin Se-Kyung and Sooyoung should win the best couple here haha... Love their bickering and unshowy love and friendship, so with the others. Seo Dan-A & Lee Yeong-Hwa couple really captivated me especially Dan-A's character, it made this drama even more lovable! Kudos to the cast.

hi guys i just started it. and i mean like i just finished the first episode and i ALREADY love ittt. i feel like so much happened in the first episode i’m not sure if that’s how it’s gonna be the rest of the series but a lot of kdramas pass so slow and this was so fast. also i wonder if seon has autism. i’ve noticed in the way he talks he doesn’t really let off any social cues, or react to situations the way other people do or would. idk tho it’s just a theory

Hi It’s Me Currently on ep1 and it seems quite interesting. That Professor Hwang is annoying though. I’ve always wanted to say this from my experience of watching KDramas for years: They never know what being professional is and take things personal, always making the lower classes kiss the upper classes’ a**. ? Not saying I’m dropping the drama though.

LORELLA Masseria This series starts out like a diesel: slow and calm. But then it becomes an explosion of tears and laughter feelings. In reverse to most Korean series. I really like the direction, the photography, the soundtrack and the plot is really very interesting. The actors sparked and I love them all. It's a very, very nice job!

Aiai A very good heart warming kdrama. Direct and not so much fuzzy conflicts. Dialogues are metaphoric and very relatable. I really love it because it is a no nonsense drama. I just wished that it could have a longer ending. I love that the main characters have less conflicts / dramas, and they instead gelp each other to have a stronger relationship. Plus theyre presenting heirarchy and LGBT issues which make this series different from the others.

Sentinel This one is a pretty light drama without much conflicts. The charm is the characters banter which often times funny and entertaining. Idk about his real life but the male lead's character here is uniquely soft-spoken and easy going, which I think is rare. Some characters refer to him as 'Yangban' throughout all episodes which mean 'nobleman' since he has rich parents. The english subtitle don't mention anything about this, but personally I think it was funny. Now for the second couple, I really like Soo-young's character here. It reminds me of my teen days when I was a fan of SNSD/Girl's Generation and why she was my favourite back then. I think her acting is so good, Idk why I seldom see her in dramas. In conclusion I rate this drama 8.5/10

Lia L God, I loved this drama. The characters were very relatable and just the best. The whole story is very realistic and modern. I loved the fact that there were no love triangles, it was really refreshing. The actors were all outstanding too, so I applaud them. I rate this drama a 10/10! Also, I want to say that all the couples in this drama are so cute and that I'm happy that they included LGBTQ characters in the story! A lot of people hate that this drama is 'slow-paced' but, in my opinion, that's the best thing about this drama. You get attached to the character because it's slow-paced. And now that I look back on the drama, it wasn't really slow-paced, it just focused more on the character's emotions (and there wasn't any unnecessary drama that takes up tons of time), if that makes any sense. Anyway, if you love cute, non-toxic, romantic dramas this one is right for you! Oh, and it's not THAT boring by the way, so don't be worried.

Audrey This is one of the best dramas I’ve ever watched. No love triangle and the four best main characters. Every single relationship dynamic was incredible. And the acting was just phenomenal. I’m going to miss this show so much

LJ 1000/10!! The way this drama had no love triangle gets me anticipating every next episode. The couples were well casted too! I believe in Dan.ah x Yeong hwa supremacy! They always give me butterflies every time they're on screen, I hope they would work again. The dialogues also had wisdom in it that the viewers could learn from. Overall this drama is so wholesome that it makes me too soft to be screaming every 3AM. I would also like to Thank all translators, y'all are legit talented and you deserve greatness and we all appreciate your work. This drama may be underrated but this treasure will soon blow up and get the viewership it deserves.

Makenzie omk-drama best thing in the world. idk if it is just me but i have rewatched it almost 15 times. I now know how to speak fluent korean. I cry happy tears every time i see the two couples together. I stay up until like 4:45 every night watch it. Best k-Drama in the entire k-drama world.

Joy I didn't expect much from his drama but this is literally one of the best dramas I've ever seen. It's like a nice, warm pastry on a cold day. It's sweet, filling and so lovely! The characters are so well written, the dialogue and the morale of the show are highlighted incredibly. This is a 10/10 recommend for everyone!

Lorraine Where was the series filmed, especially that scene where Shin Se Kyun's character had to act as translator for a film

Kimchi I love how seo tae woong keep following dan ah like a puppy but kinda pity him at the same time. I’m only halfway on the series, i hope dan ah will treat him better at the end of the series

Ed Guinto I love this series! I am simply a fan of Shin Se Kyung! Also the chemistry of Si Wan and Se Kyung... superb! I am looking forward for Tae Ho and Se Kyung series soon!

SKYLER Wow. This drama is sooo good. I loved each episode. I loved their dialogues. Well written. And the ending was superb. They gave each character a good ending. The Most Satisfying ending I've seen so far on a Kdrama. No character was left out. A very heart warming drama too. I don't regret watching this.

Marike A slow paced and heartwarming drama about loving yourself first to better love others. So touching to see Seon gyeom and Young Hwa cries to the women they love. Not sure it could happen in real life ?ha ha. I think Im Si Wan did best to portray innocence kind hearted introvert Seon Gyeom. His stares and blinks represent the personalities best. Surprise to see Kim Su Ho in the last episode. Awesome drama to watch ?

Kumo I agree with the comments below. This drama is a slow one and doesn’t have much of a plot; however, it isn’t boring. To be honest, I can’t even tell you exactly what this drama is about...Will I rewatch this? Nope! Was it memorable? Nope! Was it a waste of time? Also a no lol. So watch if you have time to kill but don’t expect it to be exciting or thrilling.

Sae Ri Hope to see both Siwan and Sekyung in new drama pleaseeeeee..

Meow I would say Run On is akin to a warm cup of chocolate drink. It's an easy watch but makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. There are no crazy plots nor anything epic yet it's not a bore. The actors carry their wholesome characters amazingly! They banter and communicate naturally with one another.

What sets it apart from other dramas out there is the zippy and snappy dialogues. The writer did an exceptional job making the drama so enjoyable to watch.

Will I remember the story for a long run? I don't think so. But I will remember how happy it makes me.

Castiel Honestly, I didn't really expect anything from Run On, before it aired. I'm not really fond of romcom and I'm just excited because of Siwan, I love him. I can drop it, in case I don’t really like it, even though I like Siwan. But that’s not what happened. I like everything about Run On. I'm also the type of person, who loves thriller / suspense genres and intense scenes in dramas, but it's just amazing because, even if it’s a slow-paced drama, and nothing too much is happening on the plot, I still love it. Really love it, it’s interesting for me. Maybe, Run On is really charming, I just can't really figure out where does it come from, and I was one of those who fell for its charm. Also because of this, my admiration for the talented actor Siwan has increased even more. I suggest it to people who want unique, deep, and meaningful dialogues. But do not expect to understand it immediately. Another BUT.. but, I’ll tell you, once you understand Run On, and its characters, you’ll absolutely love it too!

saranghae run on I love this drama sooo much So sad its already end but its okay i can repeat it again hehe I never plan to watch this drama when it first air because i thought it was boring. One day i found this one clip of run on when dan ah & ki jeong do meet after ki seong gyeom confess he assault his hoobae. When i watch that scene, dan ah character gave strong impression on me. I feel like wow this gurl is coool & it make me curious about the drama. So i watched it & i got so attached with it. The plot may be not so catchy but the characters in this drama that make the drama outstanding. Watching run on is one of the best thing in my life. I love main leads character. Their line also make me impressed. i really admire ki seong gyeom & oh mi joo character.

popcorn This drama felt like a vacation; I felt giddy, relaxed, and warm by the time it ended. This also feels like a hot choco on a winter morning or even a cold shower after running a marathon... you will definitely feel happy and content after.

So, if you are looking for signs to watch this drama--Yes!

Since the drama just finished its last episode a week ago you can binge-watch it until you can no longer take the cheesy-ness. (I'm not saying that this is full of corny lines but what I know is that your cheeks will hurt from smiling too much).

Kudos to the cast, director, writer, and the whole team!

Ghana Ending scene is so Hearthwarming. Second couple was stealing the show from middle and Ep16 was like their own movie. +KimSeonHo Came <3

RECOMMENDED Hands Down The Most Realistic Kdrama Ive Ever Watched In 6 Years Of Watching Kdrama. its not cliche and the main lead chemistry is Everything

Minahil Hassan Literally the definition of the Best kdrama ever. Everything is sooo perfect. I'm so sad eversince I finished it because I got too attached to this show and it's characters. 100/10 Highly Recommended

ad Storyline was easy to follow, no crazy plot twists or anything. It was a relaxing, fresh, fun and modern series. The main characters' story was a bit underwhelming but the supporting characters picked it up and made it fun. Overall, not a bad series if you just want to chill and decompress. 88/100

sun Recommended if you’re all in for a self-love relaxing no-stress drama, just nice to sit and watch after a long day. I started since EP1 while it was airing however decided that “ah this is the drama you watch once it finish” since it doesn’t really has a plot so I was worried if I get bored to not look forward for the next ep so I continued around EP12 and finished it on time. Just nice, 10/10! Every character has a story to tel and you definitely can learn a lesson from them, OST-wise is good.

Dandelions I cannot express the amount of love I have for this drama. Please watch it if you want a chill, mature, warm and sense-worthy drama. The chemistry between all the characters is superb. The OST is also a bomb. The script is well written and the acting for all of the artists is great (loved loved loved Sooyoung here. She portrayed Dan-ah so well).

The drama talks about living and exploring life and relationships. Loved how it sensitively tackled aspects like the story of Ye-Jun (I ain't giving any spoilers lol), maturity and being different. It's really a great watch with so many lessons to take upon. Each character's story and the story as a whole were wrapped so well. It may be a bit slow-paced or boring for some people but it was really a gem for me. I suggest to watch the first two episodes to get the vibe and feel, and from then on, expect to fall in love with the drama.

Somebody help me I don't think I can move on from this drama. This would be what a comfort drama feels like for me. Definitely a solid 10/10. Thank you to all the people who gave birth to this drama.

Daisy I love it so much.Its a comfort drama for me after back to back crimes/action kdramas. This make me want to fall in love and be mature in it. Im satisfied with the ending.

ps:idk why but I ship eun bi and young il ?

Hahardy Well done!! I will miss Im si wan..his on variety show..he might rarely film Korean drama ..

Minahil Best Kdrama Ever Hands Down. This drama is what Record of Youth wanted to be but couldnt be. It has made 2021 so much better and made me feel like I have lived my every day with these characters. Everything is so perfectly scripted and placed, i’m still in awe. It depicts the idea of self love so beautifully and doesnt force romance at all especially for the current generation to see. Highly Recommend!!! 100/10

Fitri Candrawani For those who haven't watched it, I really suggest you watch it, because this drama is full of the realities of life and is not overbearing but the sweetness is just right. Because the plot is very smooth and balanced with the stories that each one plays, I can really watch it just flow until it doesn't feel like the ending, and I'm really sad. many stories in this drama that give us lessons in real life, words that are so sweet as in the real world, the ambition of happiness, sadness, joy and complexity they packaged very well, the sweetest drama for me this month. but I don't know why rating of this drama is not good in Korea, even though this drama always gives a positive message to life. how to survive when we live alone without parents, and many more. I hope people will realize how wonderful this drama is. although there are still some who are not satisfied. I think the ending is quite interesting coz for me no need to show everything that happen coz it will make me us boring and waste of time. Thank you so much for makimy this drama. I really love this drama.

Da Angel as a caribbean-american i liked 'run-on' almost as much as 'it's ok to be not ok' (the best of the 2020 k-romdram crop on netflix, imho). loved the soft look cinematography & the unhurried pace of the script; all of the pairings had viable chemistry - so it was an overall joy to watch!

my only real complaint was the ending ep did not satisfy my yearning to know what 'really' happened with the main four leads. i'm glad to get a glimpse of the side characters resolution but not at the expense of main character development and/or resolution. ep 16 could have been ALL about Yeong-Hwa, Dan-A, & her family (i think that they are worth a spin-off show of their own); w/an ep 17 for Mi-Joo, Seon-Gyeom, & his family; and, to have a 'proper' epilogue, an ep 18 to handle everyone else plus a some time (one or more years, perhaps) in the future peek.

loved it so much but soooooo disappointed with the ending, i'm really thinking of writing an (unlicensed) americanization/adaptation of this story just so i can have Dan-A (princess & queen aspirant) have a meaningful relationship with her (peasant/vending-machine & future still-life/impressionist master) Yeong-Hwa (because, as everybody knows, it's ok for the queen to a patron w/benefits relationship with her favorite sponsored artist)

to all involved with the show - a heartfelt thank you & well done!

Matilda I didn’t like this drama and I couldn’t finish it. It felt so slow and the plot wasn’t engaging at all. I tried to push through for the romance but even that fell so flat.

PANDORA Just finished the last episode and I'm Bawling. My comfort drama, every episode felt like a warm hug. Thank you to the cast and everyone involved in this beautiful drama. thank u thank u thank u

Isa Pa Great happy ending ! I like the positiveness of this drama. There is no second lead syndrome meaning all casts performed well. Truly a feel good kdrama 2021 !! Hoping for the next Run on 2 .

Surrealguiltaegyo This series is just so-so for me. Just simple and light story... what I like is that they gave credit to all the actors at the end. Made sure that the viewers knows what happened to them. I think thats the first from years of watching korean drama. I like that they are slowly adopting and opening up to relevant issues like the story of Ye-Jun. Coz I have been watching Kdrama for years and they are very conservative...that I will give it a thumbs up.

Juts noticed the advertisement of some product, i just think its not necessary on the last episode, should have focused more on the story but i guess its becoming a trend now.

Ler Simply one of the best KDramas I've ever watched! Very heartwarming, light and lovely!

heyo i just want to recommend “Be Melodramatic” if you like this drama?

Courtney Damn this drama is so relatable. I got SeonGyom personality and YongHwabfate. In the end we need to wait until I achieve my dream. It's seems slow in the surface but always show deep meaning and cryptic message underlay. Best drama, if you understand, then you understand ?

so God this is so good!! Thank you for making my 2020 better!! Now i’m going to miss them:( 10/10

Nyss Seriously, The Best Kdrama Ever. I Love Them Much.. The chemistry between Siwan & Se Kyung just Amazing and perfect.. Gyeommi Couple <3 Ki Seon Geom is my fav male lead.. The softest one..and Mi Joo is cool. I kept rewatch all episodes <3 Brilliant script/dialog.. Gonna miss it..Thank you to Run On my Wednesday is colourful.

Che one of the dramas that give the 2nd leads couples there right Seo Dan-A and Lee Yeong-Hwa killed the show omg i was really worried that they will not have there happy ending that they deserve tbh i can rewatch this drama more and more at the same time i wished that Seo Dan-A and Lee Yeong-Hwa as main lead in another drama with the same story they r way to good together ofc the main lead in this one were amazing as well totally worth your time

Jack Seongyeom has to be one of my all time favorite drama characters. He is clueless but not ignorant or naive. He is straightforward without being demeaning. He says everything how it is and says it in such an elegant way. Also, him standing up for others but not himself just shows how nice of a person he is. Siwan was right, the script of the show was so good, it brought this character to life.

Adinia Best drama, best ending i love all the character so much

Amirali At different stages of life, different mediums or stories will be enjoyable. After an awful 2020, covid, lock downs... this series was just the right thing to watch. So heartwarming. It is a series based on reality or better to say the struggle of day to day life with the right amount of exaggeration here and there. I cried numerous times during this series as it hit so many mentally right points with me. The movies and series are not made like this anymore, it is not fast paced, you should not see this to find out what happens in the finale, you should enjoy it episode by episode as it progress. The story doesn't really matter here, its the interaction of the characters with each other and how they express themselves that makes this a great show. I could go on and on but I stop here. Anybody who struggles with life just watch this, it won't probably help you in any way but it will make you feel warm inside. I wish I could see the cast in person and thank them each personally. Also the presence of the "Good Boy" in the last episode was a very nice touch.

Tasnuba SPOILERS. Honestly loved the drama and all the 4 main leads and the entire cast. It was quite a well told story with many lessons at the end of the day that I Wud love to keep with me in my real life as I go along. It had all sorts of emotions involved- love, anger, grief, pain, disappointment on one another, trusting oneself, loving yourself and prioritizing yourself first and most importantly giving each other space in life. Loved the drama and the happy ending However, I haven't quite understood what remained between the second lead couple. Were they still seeing each other or they just became friends? That part actually remained unclear. But still showing a happy ending was a great relief for me! Cuz why do we watch drama? Obviously to be entertained and no matter what we always hope for a happy ending and thanks to the makers who actually gave us one! And the last few shots were the best where all the cast members were shown and how the story ended happily was just wow!! 100% satisfied and recommended!! ??

M I really loved it!! One of the best k-dramas I ever seen. I am so happy with its ending and I find it complete and satisfying because they did not missed the other characters' ending. It is also fresh and new that there's no love triangle. One character compliments the other character. Good job to the casts, writers and director as well as to the whole team. Btw, Ki Seon-Gyeom is so adorable. I want to keep him in my pocket. Hehe

She who loves One if the best ending I have ever seen. My biggest beef with Kdrama is the cliffhanger and vague endings. I keep yelling for epilogue. Well, I got it this time and I am very pleased. Two thumbs up for the show and for the whole cast and crew for a job well done. Cheers.

Lana 10/10 simply because I’ve never seem to be able to finish dramas with a slower pace like this but this show was thoroughly enjoyable for its chemistry and originality. Loved the shows pace I started for the main lead couple but stayed for the second lead couple, the director and writer did a great job at keeping the pace of the story I’m very happy I finished and have to say that was the neatest ending I’ve seen in any kdrama (no looses ends left). Love Love Love Watch This Show!!!!!!!

clingydaegun I like the drama and I'm very satisfied with the last episode. To be really honest I got bored in the middle of the series because it's so slow and the conflict is kinda unclear (I don't think it will be that interesting to watch it in one go. It's better to watch it for fun if you have free time), but in the end I realize the messages this drama try to convey and there are soooo many lessons we can learn from it. It's a romance drama and you might be too focused on that part, but I think it's also a slice of life drama.

Run On told us that: - We can't control other people, not even our loved ones - "The main character of my life is me". Your life is yours! - Sometimes you need to prioritize yourself. Love yourself more. - We can't fully understand each other, but no problem. We have different background, life, and goals afterall. - It's ok to be different

Feel free to add more ^^

Gea Finish watching all of the episode. This series is really great and i love the couples in there. But i think somehow the writer didn't really express thoroughly about the second couple at the end. But at least i'm happy to see 4 of them, especially shin se kyung and sooyoung. I hope they can meet in other works and project because they seem close to each other

D Mar Love it !!!! Good Boy brighten my day  !!!!! True to almost real story line of people. Another great kdrama for 2021 !

Sanisah simin I really hope there season 2, I fell attach to this story and want the seo-hwa story.. Please I really hope there season 2

Lia A lil bit boring on first, but eventually i can't stop watching the 2nd couple, like they're always snuffy with each other but there's a hint of sweetness between them. Anyway i really enjoy 4 of them potraying the characters. Wishing there will be another episode but well...

This is gonna be my favorite drama afterall

Seahawks Lighthearted, this one is like a breeze. And the main characters I mean all of them are so easy and pleasing to the eyes. Definitely not boring, you gotta be smart to be able to follow thru. I wish it doesn’t end in Episode 16 but I guess we’re down to the last 2 episodes.

Julietta Btw, anybody knows where can I watch the BTS? I would really like to see the interactions between the actors when the camera is off... :)

Mmm I think this drama is not tjat typical romance drama where the main leads have many skinships. I'm still in ep7, but what i can see is that the conflicts between them are not that complicated. Both of them support each other. But i can see that the female lead supports him more. This story is kind of refreshing, sweet and nice and the same time. Look at the ratings, maybe many people dont like it. But i like it :)

Carmen For those who are saying that it’s boring. Y’all don’t understand at all the meaning of the whole series.

SPOILER ALERT The main character never have been loved. He doesn’t know what feelings are. Nor what loving himself is. He’s Learning. The lead female character has had a hard past, she’s scared of having a REAL relationship with someone that is so Unpredictable.

I’m sorry if y’all are used to characters that fall head over heels for each other. This story is about learning to love and to understand yourself First. Then, and only then, about trying to love someone else by growing together.

Refreshing.


This is how it works in real life too. Love is hardship.

10/10

northerngirl Sweet drama about good looking, talented late 20s people looking for love and meaning.

RHS Run On is definitely one of the best ever Kdrama till date... So heartwarming and light feel good drama... No typical clinche storyline specially no irritating Love Triangle.. The chemistry Between the Characters is so sweet and strong... To be honest, Im not surprised some people are accusing it being boring... No Wonder Korean drama writers keeps repeating clinche storyline and typical annoying love Triangle plots... Beacuse of this kind of people who Doesnt appreciate unique and fresh stories... Shame... I totally recommend this drama to these who like something unique and fresh stories.. It'll definitely brightest up ur mood and has a lots of Life lesson...

Julietta I just finished the 5th episodes. I cried a few times on the side story of Seon Gyeom's junior, it was really heartwarming.

I like both the first leads here, Im Siwan and Shin Se Kyung, they can portray the characters very well. You know I don't usually like Shin Se Kyung's acting, but in this drama, I love her! On the contrary, I don't really enjoy the second leads, every time they appear I just want to skip the scenes.

Overall, the drama is very nice and heartwarming.. Can't wait to watch another episodes

Naddy I could say this is a pretty chill drama I needed this after marathoning a few dramas that fried my braincells lol. Love love love the ambience of the drama and character development of each characters!! For those who are saying that Im Siwan's acting is stiff, he's not lmao.. It's how his character is.. He's a very good actor. You might want to check his previous works such as Misaeng and Strangers from Hell haha But I like the 2nd couple more than the main one hahaha. I heard Kim Seonho is making a cameo in this drama? Can't wait!!! Loved him in Start-Up XD

kity I think this is extremely boring. just too flat & too slow. I’m a fan of In Siwan acting actually, all of his previous dramas are great and more way better than this one.

Patrick Did somebody said Im Siwan’s acting stiff?... well you don’t know him.. i say you don’t know him... Run On is great, for those who have a wide range of understanding. That’s it..

Roann Dang, y’all are so harsh LOL. Yes, it’s a bit boring at parts but I think all the actors and actresses pull off their roles really well :) Mi Joo and Seon Gyeom’s relationship is super natural too, but to each their own I guess.

Ghana The way Oh Mi Joo runs...:)) I m sorry but she looks like old women when she runs (just couldnt get that out of my head)

sun Even though the first episode was painfully slow however it did get better right after that. I understand that the two lead are quite stiff at acting but TRUST ME the script is written very nicely and that is what make this drama worth to watch. If you could bear with the robot acting (very mild imo), please watch. It’s heartwarming and depicts realistic situation ?

Steffanie Interesting. Although, nobody in this drama seems to be normal and relatable. Everything seems unrealistic. From the traits of every character, even minor ones - to the circumstances, decisions, and dialogs.

I'm now on episode 11 and I'm still going to finish the whole drama since I find the development between characters interesting.

Jen Well written and the actors play the characters' personalities well. I am really drawn in and want to see the characters grow.

Lee Very-well written and executed. Every character is given their own spotlight and screentime. GyeomMi and DanHwa couples are such a joy to watch, no annoying and unnecessary love triangles. It's a drama that promotes self-love and the importance of empathy. Love the sensitive dialogues, the progressive characters are brilliantly portrayed by the actors, commendable directing and OST! Run On, fighting!

Grace Super boring. Both male and female leads act like robots. No emotions at all. Everything looks directed and unnatural. Just awful. Plain awful.

Storyline - awful.

Only consolation is the love story and acting between the second leads- they perform better and their story is much more believable and exciting.

Darl Cuoco It started really boring but oh my, I am addicted to this. I rewatched it again as the dialogues are hard to follow and the translations are too quick on The screen. Lead male is so cute and lead female is pretty. I love all the emotions and the lines you need to understand the context to appreciate the story. i LOVE this kdrama!!!!

Martha F. Bueno Great story! I loved the characters, even more of Im Si-Wan's role. So beautiful and cute! I don't understand how people have gotten bored by watching this kdrama so super cute! Maybe people have been becoming cold blood!

Nadia Kinda boring and I’m on episode 2. If it doesn’t pick up by the end I probably won’t finish it. This “aloof” male lead in super uninteresting. And I’m not sure what this drama is about. I like the actress playing female lead but this drama is quite dull so far.

Fayehsa Expected from newbie writer, even tough the story are in the boundary for k-drama, the line are still absurd, and boring. the second couple are more interesting, it's more fun and exciting to see how they developt their love line.

ssk fan Love both ML and FM. Although I watch the drama because of Shin Sekung and later also fall for the first male lead. They portrayed the roles splendidly and their chemistry are spot on. I look forward to watch the drama every week and cannot understand the low viewership.

Tzveeble Love this show, so subtle, heartwarming, exquisite scenes, and stunningly beautiful music. Must be the same composers as My Mister. What's their name?

Bill I dont know why but i'm more excited for DanHwa's story than GyeomMi. I want more DanHwa's scene for the last 2 episode ㅠㅠ

Bill I just wanna say that Kang Tae Oh really portray Lee Yeong Hwa so good! I fallin for Yeong Hwa and always excited when he comes up, especially when he showed his cuteness to Dan Ah, haa i can't ㅠㅠ

Her I love how Shin Sekyung portrayed Oh Mijoo's character. I can feel her pain when she cried. Oh Mijoo has many long lines and she delivered that perfectly. She's pretty and lovely. She's such a great actress.

Wow I wish they have focus more about Seo DanA story because her story is most interesting story and I want know more about her life. Her expression always tells a story and I want knowwwww

Baby Boy I love this drama so much. It's so relaxing to watch. There's no big conflict and the chemistry of the lead cast is suprisingly good. If you love Sky Castle and the Penthouse, it's totally not ur thins but that's okay. Seon-Gyeom is totally definition of cuteness and Dan-A is my Favorite!

Whatever It's passable drama if you asked me.... It won't be a waste of time to watch but you won't miss anything if you don't. My most favorite character is Seo Dan-ah....She drawer all attentions to her when she's on the scenes. I like the development of the second leads relationship better.... The first couples are just boring.....I had to drag myself to go through the first 9 episodes looking for Seo Dan-Ah and Lee Yeong Hwa scenes... From ep.10 on, it starts to get more interesting when they gave more air times to Dan-Ah and Yeong-Hwa. Maybe I'm biased but I think Shin Se-Kyung has no charms. I watched 3 of her dramas and in all of them she was just herself. She is pretty and all but there is nothing memorable about her. Her acting is pretty boring....very monotonous.

Hmm Excellent drama. No over the top tropes, when they could've done so considering the setup (chaebols and all). Melow, slice of life, romance and comedy. So relaxing to watch. Characters are very refreshing! And as mentioned by many, the dialogues and interactions closely resemble reality.

PS: The guys here are quite the softies! XD And the ladies, they are fierce and wonderful!

Jack Although I am not happy with what Mijoo did to Seongyeom, I understand why. She only really has herself. Yeah she has May and Seongyeom, but if something were to happen with either of them, who else would she have. She has not family to get support from. For her to survive in this world, she needs to be confident in herself, or people will walk all over her. It's not like she does not like Seongyeom anymore, she is just scared.

She who loves If you’re looking for a drama riddled with unrealistic jealousy, violence, and vengeful vendetta, then this show is not for you. This series closely resembles reality. A mellow depiction of somewhat realistic responses to somewhat realistic situations. No under or over emoting here but there are lessons to be learned nevertheless. Love how the actors all do their part awesomely. Two thumbs up?? for all the cast and crew. Y’all doing an excellent job.

Emily Lauer Also, I agree with Liliane, Anne and Nawara.

Emily Lauer So far this is my most favourite ep! Writers, well done on the dialogue between Dana & Yeongha at the burger place :-)

What a romantic thing to say "could you not teach me how to break up? You can teach me anything else " from Ki 2 Oh Mijoo. Also, I totally get how Mijoo is feeling totally overpowered by Ki's dad. She tells Ki this in a really lovely diplomatic way.  Well phrased indeed. I disagree w sensible viewer: if one is dating a rich guy frm 0publicly well known & respected parents, wouldn't one have some inferior complex? Esp since it took Ki so long to Express his feelings for her as he is so used to do what he is told & never asked how he is feeling about being the prodigal son, for both parents. Mijoo is teaching him that, is actually inspiring him to be his own person in a really nice, gentle pos way.  As for how Ki is finding it hard to get Wooshiga into a training team is I suppose very realistic. He'll have to find someone who is recognised/respected & influencial to help them be recognized as a coach & as a runner respectively! Also, I wonder if Y's BF is gay?

just me i tried so hard to be in the line, but the more i try i got lost. i'll stay only for siwan and i'll bear it the "ramashoookkkk" feeling.

Anne If you like soft and chill dramas, this is for you. If you don't, obviously you won't like it.

Im Siwan and Kang Tae Oh's cuteness are too much. They look like babies most of the time but are so comedic and mature at the same time.

jumon kang tae oh no good. bad acting and his character babbles on and on about nothing. soo young needs a better match.

Rome23333 Really enjoying this drama! Can't believe it's ending soon noooo

fatyz I love how simple yet entertianing this drama is!!!!!! 5 stars for me!!!!

Raya Over the last year most of the romantic Korean dramas have been slow boring and put you to sleep. This drama is one of them.

des mar Run On is a very unique drama and deals with modern day life style of working people. We all know that this drama is fictional as stated before you watch an episode.The lead actors are leading the way and so are the second lead who are Soo young and Kang Tae oh. I really like their story line. I find it romantic and sweet. I like the way the actors smile and not pout always. Being a happy and nice person as being portrayed here is a good thing to watch. We see also the struggle of people in their work and finance.Sometimes you need someone to inspire you and push you to realize your potential. So far I really like the drama. Looking forward on the next chapter next week. Hope to be a happy ending for all.

Dix Unique, real, and calming! Lots of deep and meaningful lines also delivered by great casts. Overall, this is not your ordinary kdrama nowdays. Awesome drama for awesome people!

juju second male lead is horrible. plus his conduct would have the art world great masters turning in their graves. and soo young can do alot better than that thing.

Nawara First of all, if you're looking for a light, non-toxic drama and not love triangle story, this is it. To some people, the drama might be a little bit boring for the first few episodes since the characters here kind of stiff but NO, it's not because they can't act but because that's how their character really is esp for the first male lead.

What I love about this drama the most is the dynamic of these four quirky personalities are interesting. Like, all these four characters are related to each other so there's no any tension/love triangle or whatsoever. The script of this drama is good and they have a LOT of deep and wisdom quotes that I feel like they really break a lot of stereotype in any Korean drama. For example, I love how the first female lead always highlights about self-love and stand up for herself whenever someone is trying to step or disrespecting her. I love how the second male lead character express her emotions (like crying) despite being a guy. I love how both of the female leads walk/drive home their boyfriends (usually it's always male character that does something like this).

This drama also covered from love, friendship and family despite also showing a peek on the lives of artists, athletes, translators, an agent, film production crews and even idols.

All of the characters in Run On have their own unique personality (even for supporting actors) and own problems that is shown in a perfect manner and not overdone and each character tries to give us a valueable message. That's why this drama is worth to watch!

Lillian I love the chemistry of the two main leading characters. Their acting is so natural & calming be it on the light side of the scene or the intense and emotional scene. Their visuals are really lovely and cute. Hope to see the two in other drama or film soon.

Laura Bauer I love this series. I know there is a lot I am missing in translation into English but their characters and personalities make me care for them.

Anne I Recommend This If You Like Chill Dramas Without A Lot Of Big Conflicts

I understand where Young Hwa was coming from when he got mad at Dan Ah. It was unprofessional for a commissioned artist to do that but it was also unprofessional for Dan Ah to treat an artist like that. Also, Young Hwa is in college, you can't expect him to just bite it and let it be.

Also, Mijoo was valid when she was disappointed and sad at Seon Gyeom. She likes the guy and is friends with him but he's distant and is not very sociable, which is understandable. They're still in the early stages. You can't expect them to know each others' feelings.

Anyway, this drama is chill af and I always find myself waiting every Wednesday and Thursday just to watch it right after it gets released on Netflix. There's the right amount of realistic drama and subtle comedy and very cute and diverse characters.

It could be boring for others but I guess they just don't appreciate chill dramas like this one. Also, Run On has amazing lines, the subtitles get the context but I feel like it doesn't capture how poetic and realistic they are in Korean. And I really love how diverse and non stereotypical the characters are :") i love strong women and cute men. The only stereotypical character is Seon Gyeom's dad but honestly, a politician is capable of that much annoyingness.

Goku k I like drama but what like the most is Seo Dan-A and Lee Yeong-Hwa these characters. Their character development was amazing episode 11 was gives me a toast for my eyes I wait for 10 episodes for ir

mel i love this drama...great for english speaking people.

NJ I think I can understand why some people would find it boring but I really love this drama and wish more people would acknowledge it. Its not the usual loyal group of friends relationship but thats what I think makes it realistic and very straightforward characters. It shows the harsh reality of life and work and the hierarchy system in Korean in many different industries and the scary power of money. Passion is usually highlighted in sports dramas but this also focuses on the harsh reality of success and treatment if athletes.

Mama mia Run on, and on, and on...about nothing....absolutely nothing...this show is the definition of "inane".

Peach This dialogue-driven drama is pure brilliance! The direction, acting, screenwriting & even the scoring are all well-executed! Only people who don’t like to think while watching dramas will find it boring.

Stargazer I love all of their character especially Seo Dan Ah and Lee Yeong Hwa their scenes made me admire them even more and the way they act i just like it,that's the type of artist i like Run On Fighting!

23wlikn I love this drama

blue665 I watched the first 4 eps but it's kind of boring. I don't understand certain relationships between characters and the characters' attitudes. It's true that they have unique personalities but it's also kind of weird in my opinion. I gave it a chance because of the good reviews but I don't know whether to continue or not. The story is just boring.

Laurel Guys does anyone know the song in episode 4 in the background of the cafe scene between Mi-joo and Ms. Seo. It's when there is a bit more than 5 minutes of the episode.

Adora 4 of them have unusual characters from other dramas, absolutely worth to watch!

Lorda Love the dynamic relationship between Dan-a and Yeong-hwa. What a great show!

Tita i love this drama.

Anna Serobyan This drama really caught my attention. At first I wasn’t sure if I’m gonna like it or not. I watched some scenes on YouTube and I just give it a go. All I can say this drama is worth of your time, It’s not your cliche kdrama , the characters are very realistic and unique. I’ve watched many kdramas , so I was kinda bored of childish love stories or over the top dramatic scenes like love triangles . This drama has the perfect pace for me and their conversations are just chef’s kiss. So I send lots of love to this drama. Fighting !!!

Yuki H. What An Amazing Show! I laughed so hard on episode 10th hahaha This is so good and doesn't cringey at all, I give 10/10 ♡ Fighting Run On Team, stay healthy~

mikha pascky am so excited if there will be an ep for the back story of the characters especially the "language" and communication (or the lack of it)

Alyson Gardner Absolutely love both of these couples. Does anyone else wonder if Ki Seon-Gyeom is neurodivergent? It feels like his lack of connection with social situations shows autism.

Anne It's just a plain drama waiting for each character's growth but I'm hooked. All of their characters are crazy and insane in their own ways and I love them for it. All 4 of them have chemistry with each other and as a group.

Script is well-written. Some dramas who try to be "woke" sometimes have out of place dialogues but here, it represents people so well and it fits the scenes.

Also, Si Wan and Se Kyung's chemistry is just wow. Their relationship is honestly slower than I expected (also the case for the second leads, I need more of them), but I am loving every second of it.

Cherry Honestly I am in love with this drama. Everything is just so perfect and the flow of the story is wonderful. Definitely one of the best or last year. I love to see strong women being represented. A total 10/10 from me

david marta I love the character on this drama, so unique. The dialogue is so creative too

Sham Wasn’t sure if I should start this drama ...I have only been watching Kdramas since April and I must say that I’m loving them. I have watched most top 20 dramas on every list .

I am glad that I started this one . It is sweet and touching . I love the two main couples . Women portrayed positively. Young, women CEO.

Just finished ep 9... it is a bit slow but you can’t help fall in love with the main male lead and also cheer on the female lead .

I would recommend this drama 9/10 for marks

PANDORA No you don't understand...I'm Obsessed!!!!!

Jane Love the chemistry of the lead stars. Hooked. Sweet series.

Tia Such an amazing drama! love Im Siwan & Shin Se Kyung chemistry, all the supporting actors, the dialogues and the plot. Overall awesomeness

curlie such a wonderful drama! love the interaction between the leads!

SorryMaGirl Wow the scene when they arguing in running court is so realistic. I have similar personality like KSG, I got scolded like the way OMJ angry to him when I'm insensitive about her lol.

Aichan I love the dialogues sooo much! Simple and realistic plot with no annoying love triangle or cliche damsel in distress female lead. I even love the interaction between Oh Min Joo and Seo Dan-ah. If you haven't watched this, please do so. No regret so far ♡

ying @TT i think it's one of the osts that hasn't been released yet !! also i really love how ordinary but at the same time very special this drama is ㅠㅠㅠ

glow I was wandering why these top rated actor and actress chose to star this ordinary drama! Now I got my answer. This is such an amazing drama and all after them has such a strong characters. Woahhh.....

TT For those who have watched Episode 7, does anyone know of the song playing when Yeong-hwa and Dan-ah meet each other when he was riding his bike towards her?

Run On Me This drama is so refreshing to watch. In single episode they're poking several issue, like Parent-Children become owner-object relationship, fandom name, laws about stalker, social status, etc. @tasteful viewer agreee22222222 No need to act like boomer, conde, oldie. This drama gave us new vision about some old so-called-"norm" that actually not relevant anymore. Even on some part, they show us that everyone is different in term of view, understand and solve the problem.

Sol nice feel-good and refreshing drama

Naddy I'm in love, no infact I'm obsessed with this drama. Kind of drama where I can rewatch again and again whenever Im bored or I feel like to. A simple, light, realistic, mature drama yet still keeps you wanting to watch the next episodes. And their conversations is what I love the most plus with beautiful pictures and cinematography (?) .their conv always leave such an impression on me.

HyeonJeong @Natalie Choi Soo-Young (최수영) —as Seo Dan-ah— is 32 years old this year 2021 (Korean age). Her birthday is on February 10, 1990. She's 31 years old in international age.

Ria This drama will definitely one of my top 5 dramas if it doesn’t get ruined during the upcoming episodes. It’s a simple drama with a simple plot, but the development of characters, their chemistry, dialogues are all so realistic and witty. Not only the lead couple have a good chemistry, but the four main leads have beautiful chemistry amongst themselves, be it the two girls (they’re always bickering) or the two guys (Seongyeom’s first friend hehe)

My favourite couple is definitely the main one because of how I can relate to Mijoo but the other couple’s story is also so adorable I can’t help but like them all.

If you’re wondering whether you should watch it or not, I’d say go for it! You’ll get to see aesthetic shots, beautiful character developments, witty dialogues and amazing chemistry.

I had heard that Im Siwan was an amazing actor and now when I’ve watched one of his shows I can’t help but agree. He not only changes his way of speaking but his body language as well. It’s like he was born to be Seongyeom.

PS. yes, I can’t help but ship IS and SSK </3 they’re just so adorable together

LC Love the drama - the acting and the chemistry between the leads are awesome. The new pairing of Se Kyung and Siwan is so refreshing and keep u wanting for me. Like the strong character of the FL who is not unique in most Korea drama.

erem i really hope 2nd couple will get more scenes for for the next following episodes

Fiey Yeay...im really really like this drama,im always waiting for shin se kyung new drama,and when run on released,im so excited when see she act with actor older than her than before with young actor,so sweet both of them,arghh i cant wait to see new eps next week how i wish could see all eps in one time,and the other couple also attracted me which is im really like choi soo young and kang tae oh ...oh oh please come out fast the new eps

Lisa I really love this drama! I love its depth. I am a deep thinker myself in real life and I yearn to being able to have those dialogues with someone. I like his weirdness and how he sees things in a different perspective everytime. I'm hooked. Saranghae Siwan and Sekyung ❤️

poki Literally the best thing I've ever watched

Natalie Does anyone know the age of Seo Dan-ah (Choi Soo-young) in the drama?

Chi I love the strong women in this k-drama. Thanks to writer Park Min-Sook. Really enjoying the dialogue and the recent turn of events. I cannot wait for the next episode.

HyeonJeong I don't know if anyone noticed it. This is really funny, if you guys see it closely, in Ep 1, when Ki Seon-Gyeom (Im Si-wan) asked for Oh Mi-Joo (Shin Se-Kyung) phone number -- outside the police station -- , the last 4 digits of her number was actually her real birthday (0729 - July 29). And in Ep. 2, when Ki Seon-Gyeom sent a message to Oh Mi-Joo, the last 4 digits of his number was actually his real birthday (1201 - Dec. 01).

aurelle I really love this drama, its became my comfort drama! Love the casts, Shin SeKyung and Im Siwan's chemistry is unbelievable. Its a wow how similar ISW to SeonGyeom yet so different. Love how they potray the character so naturally and how comforting this drama is. Wishing to have them as lead again in other drama.

Fon This drama is my weekly comfort! The story seems so simple and yet it touched my heart deeply. The main couple are adorable; not in a cringey way, but just real, a little bit off-beat, & heartwarming. The first 2 episodes go on and you don't really know what to expect, but after that you'll be completely hooked by their unique interactions. It also dive deeper to some social issues of athletes (i.e. Violence, seniority, & problematic system) in a poignant way. Just give it a chance if you're looking for a sweet romance with real human drama.

Popular on Netflix "The ratings are reflective of the drama" The ratings are cable ratings, this drama is extremely popular on Netflix worldwide

lily @jo the person who previously commented, I personally loved ep 6 even more so consider watching it and then decide whether or not to drop it :) the end of 6 was really cute and satisfying so Id say stick w it.

Jo The ratings are reflective of the drama. Started out good. On episode 5 and wondering whether to drop this. Love the actors, not sure what the writer is trying to convey. Had such a promising beginning...

Bami This drama is so underrated!! Its so good, the storyline is very realistic. I love how weird yet heart fluttering Im Siwan's character here. He has good chemistry with Se Kyung , can't wait for Ep7!!!

Im Si Wan is MY NEW CRUSH Omg people need to watch this. I regret watching this drama this early because it only means I have to suffer waiting every week which isn't something I don't normally do. This show made me fall in love with Im Si Wan's awkward and weird character and made my heart flutter every. single. time. They're all strong characters but Seo Dan Ah really stands out because she's so badass and also weird at the same time (randomly laughs, toys with people) you have to be quick-witted and smart to get her. I love the interaction between the 4 and am very excited to see Ki Seon-Gyeom's character to really fall for Oh Mi Joo. Ahhhh I just wish this doesn't go downhill in the latter half because it's freaken good!

PANDORA The main leads are Frickin' Amazing In This. I love the actress' mannerism and the character herself. Gosh I'm in love with this drama. Happy New Year, may 2021 bring us some happiness and more amazing k-dramas!!!!!

Charlene This drama is really worth watching. Wasn't really looking forward to anything but this drama deserves recognition. The pacing of the story is not slow and romance is there even without forcing it. Looking forward to next episodes.

Meow oh my gosh how to say this? this drama turns out so good. i wasnt expecting that much at first half of first episode because it looks like a slow-pace plot kdrama kind. but then it got exciting with fresh plot but so relate with reality situation but still with a touch of dream-life people cherish about. may i say its a light story that could help you to stress release. also the chemistry between all four leads are good. not so cringe, this is better than with other kdrama that people talk about on the same day slot. the moment between Siwan and Sekyung also seems addicting, got me like oOohhh i need more! cannot wait til the next episode. i hope lot of people will also watch this?

Starlight Shin se kyung seems like kim so eun

Ty All of them are crackheads. They shared same brain cells.

Vilma Run On, Watch it, Love it.

Hakirun Everything about this k-drama is good; the dialogues, the characters, the actors and the story! We can finally start 2021 with such a good drama :)

Angela This drama is underrated

Nicole The four main characters are strong and crazy in their own ways so I find it really funny. They have their own personalities and they really fight for what they believe in.

There are a lot of annoying characters who want power, and they're plain disgusting especially bc it's literally 2020 and they see women, violence, bribery, corruption, and etc., as nothing and idek what i'll do if i encounter people like them in real life. But I love how the main leads handle them.

Sandy This drama might be not high rating and not so many people talk about it, but I love it so much. Not like the other recent drama who's a lot of people talk about it, this drama is so fresh with the script and the acting of the actors. I love the way the light-but-heavy conflicts fills every episode. I was not a so-fan with the acting of shin se Kyung and Im si Hwan before, but surprisingly I watch this and I enjoy it this time.

Emma This is such an unusual yet compelling K-drama, it feels like a slice of life story while simultaneously being slightly dream-like and surreal. All 4 lead characters are quirky and charming while also being very believable and subvert the usual K-drama character types which keep things feeling interesting and fresh during slower segments.

M I can't stop watching this. This drama is somehow close to reality. It discusses many issues in life that many people could relate to especially the way other people treat Se-kyung's character. I really like Siwan's character, innocent but cute and most of all kind hearted.Chemistry is overflowing for the lead couple and second lead couple. So far, the story is good and can't wait for more episodes to come.

marie i was trying different kdramas. i was trying to look what kdrama will have an impact to the point i’ll binge watch it in a day. then i found this kdrama and i super love it?!!!! idk the script is very different. not your typical kdrama?? it’s a bit unexpected!! that’s why it got me hooked! PLUS THE MAIN LEADS OMG AAA i was squealing so much bec of them ㅠㅠ cant wait for the next eps!!

esjeidee I am really loving Sooyoung's role here. And her portrayal is on point!!!! Can't wait for the next episode. SNSD fighting!!!!

Sapphire Chemistry overload! I have so much love for the leads. Please support them <3

Janni I love this drama because the storyline and chemistry the couple character Ki Seon-Gyeom-Oh Mi-Joo

Soogar Cant wait to see DanHwa couple<3

Vandervenn Finally, Shin Sekyung drama that is bearable to watch!

Anne Really interesting so far! Not the most interesting plot because it's not your typical drama. It's light but at the same time heavy bc of their experiences. You'd feel so mad at a number of people oof.

Also, the main and second leads are all crazy in a good way. Their personalities are somehow weird it's entertaining.

This is not for you if you don't like chill plots

Tanisha Loving it so much! It’s a really sweet drama!

Clarey Loving this k-drama. It is not just about romance. Siwan’s character is all about righting the wrong in his life. He also wants justice done to the oppressed. I was really surprised that there is a good underlying theme amidst the romance. This is like a good Christmas present when you open it and really understand what the gift is all about.

Pink Blossom Hey you who commented below me. You just watched the first episode and you concluded it like that? I agree it's not a drama who give anyone a good impression after the first episode. I just called it 'unique' directing? I almost gived up too but I don't label it as a bad drama directly. Shouldn't I give it a chance? God bless me. I chose the right choice. I start watching second episode and it's definitely so good. I can't stop myself to continue the next episode and I'm struggling for waiting right now. Scriptwriter proved that this is really unique and well written script. You can't find their characters in common korean dramas. Believe me, just try watch it until 4 episodes and it's up to you, you'll drop it or not. It's just so annoying when anyone concludes a drama as bad when you just try the very first episode lol. If you take math or stats at college, you'll be dump by the professor straight away.

Maharani The script is very well written! The both male lead and female lead characters are so strong!

Mao Definetly recommend this drama and I can't wait for the next epsiode! Love the main leads' chemistry and I also can't wait for Dan-a and and Yeong-hwa to finally meet but anyways I ended up loving the whole cast ❤

Bori I only watched the first episode & it's totally not a good start. I didn't like the drama at all & the lead actress is just overreacting in every scene. There's overreacting for a lot of scenes actually & I just find it so Cringy & there's so unrealistic things. I'm disappointed that this is I'm siwan choice after the legend Strangers From Hell tbh.. I was waiting for his next work so bad..

Ny Oh wow. The script was well written, the casts are astounding. Recommended.

Krystallized @Blunt i think when someone says they don't have a money they are not literally running out of money right? I mean she has a job, is it wrong to use your money for your hobby?

She who loves This drama is like a breath of fresh air. Smart dialogues, excellent character portrayal, fast paced, lovely visuals. My girl, Shin Se Kyung of course, is Ace. I hope there won’t be a weird plot twists like the other recent dramas. I like strong characters so Kudos to the writer and director. This drama is worthy of recommendation. Bravo.

Lorraine Run On saved 2020! I've always loved watching romcom kdramas so at first I assumed this will be one of the cliches dramas I've watched. But boy, I was wrong. What amazes me the most is the strong, mature characters, not just the mains leads but also the other supporting ones. This drama has a great selection of actors and actresses, people. Their conversations, the plot twists, sometimes unpredictable situations, visuals, chemistry made me rewatched the whole episode like every episode, Ive watched it at least 2x!!! And You Cannot Deny The Chemisty of the Four Main Leads!!!! Like wow! I really love the interactions between the four main leads, we're still in episode 4 but all of them have great chemistry! The visuals, the plot, the cinematography.10/10 Highly Recommended!!

Arsy This is a unique romcom, I like the conversations between the characters, the portrayal of each character (they are unique) And...... I didn't expect Im Si-Wan to be so charming I love him as ki seon-gyeom

PANDORA This Drama Is A Hidden Gem. Only 4 episodes out but the story is developing so well! The convo between the main characters are soooo natural and engaging, and they're all gorgeous to look it. The second couple has fire chemistry too, their first meeting was Everything! I'm looking forward to more episodes omg Ican't wait!!!!

Blunt There is one thing I found illogical in the story. The translator is described as "someone who's poor" and who "needs the money". In fact, she is unemployed in the beginning. But right then, we see her bringing an envelope of money, and buying a limited edition toy gun. How is that possible? What's the reason of her purchase even? If she meant this toy gun as an expensive gift for her nephew or for someone close, I would understand. But no, she buys it for herself.

esjeidee Came here for Sooyoung <3 <3 <3 I love her role in here. She's savage, sassy and sexy. Much like her personality in real life. SNSD acting line fighting!!!

Astuty Astuty Im waiting for dan a and young hwa meet, why the time screen of them is less? Uhh come to this drama because of them

yeriem I love this. Really fresh and the plot is good. I just done the third episode and feel like i cant wait for the next episode. Love it. I love the writer. The words writer use in the drama is different with other. The story is similar with other romcom dramas but the way they present it really cool. I love it. Run On Daebagnaseyo..

M I love this drama!!!

Rose This drama is soooo refreshing. Love this drama. Visual, cinematography, characters everything is sooo good. It makes me feel better.

Akihem I love how strange their conversation gets. How weird the male lead gets.

Adinia finally a drama with 2 couples without a love triangle and also toxic fans

Rise and Shine Finally!! In a long time, a drama that has many lines and conversation between the actors. Not relied heavily on action and cliche scene

The first 2 episodes are good. Looking forward to this every wed and thurs!!

anonymous This drama has a different vibe. Love both couple and the growth of their relationship.

Clarey Very interesting k-drama story line. I am definitely going to continue watching this. I am enjoying the dialogue, the characters, the actors and the overall appeal. Looking forward to next week's episodes!

Arianne The first two episodes are great. I want to see more. Love how both leads have opposite yet similar personalities. Also, Seon Gyeom's role is like a robot AISHSHHD but that's exactly why I love his role because he's so adorable omg. And Shin Se Kyung!!!! I love the couple. It's been such a long time since I watched a light-hearted drama without a love triangle. I'm rooting for this drama aaaaaaaaa

Achan It has been a long time since I watch a light-hearted K drama which is not cringeworthy. The first 2 episodes were good. Looking forward for next episodes.

T Si Wan's character in this series is weird. And I'm rooting for it.

Kiki I wanna watch this drama for Kang Tae Oh. Saw him on Running Man and he's just so handsome. I'm very interested in his character and Sooyoung character. Can't wait for their moments.

Liza I really enjoyed the first episode . Fighting sooyoung ❤️?

Sarasara The first episode was really really good. I loved the characters. The fl is outstanding. She can be any of us girls out in the world looking for our place. I love such female leads the most because she is relatable. She is trying her best to achieve her dreams and find her place in the world. I just adore characters like that. The male lead is also good. He suffers from the pressure by his family but still trying his best. I liked how he remembered every encounter with the FL. can’t wait for new episodes :) great drama don’t miss on it

Norma Looking forward for a good performance for all the actors especially the lead actors?lovethem both

Miss Lily I watched episode 1 just now, love it so much. Im Si Wan and Shin Se-kyung like a match made in heaven.

Suann I like ISW ever since Misaeng and then Strangers From Hell. Alao the female lead just watched her in When A Man Falls In Love so am looking forward to this pairing!

Gina Looking forward for this drama. I am especially excited to see Shin Se Kyung. She's been amazing in Black Knight and Rookie Historian. Glad to see her in another drama before the year ends.

kristy @ celeste He's still the male lead in The King in Love even if he didn't get the girl. Whoever is the male lead isn't decided by who ends up with the female lead. But honestly, I was so relieved that there's no love triangle in Run On precisely because of the ending of TKIL.

kristy @ kristy i mean that it's the first time that he has a lead role, as in where he gets the girl/doesn't have a tragic ending.

>> He's still the male lead in The King in Love even if he didn't get the girl. Whoever is the male lead isn't decided by who ends up with the female lead. But honestly, I was so relieved that there's no love triangle in Run On precisely because the ending of TKIL traumatized me LOL.

Chi Loving the teasers. The couples look good together. I am definitely watching this!!!
