First K-drama I've finished in almost a decade

First of all, I am not a fan of k-dramas. Like really!!! I can count in one hand all the dramas that I was able to finish.
Full House, Secret Garden, My Love from the Star and now Run On..

Maybe because I hate too many conflicts, too many uncomfortable confrontations, too many plot twists which makes the story difficult to follow, too many misunderstandings and too many overly dramatic scenes and I think some of you might agree with me when I say that the K-drama world is full of these.

Now, I only watched Run On at first because I am a fan of Choi Sooyoung and of Girls Generation. She's my bias because she is so pretty, she sings well even though she's not one the main vocalist of the group, she dances well and most importantly, she's hilarious in all of their TV appearances.

I must say that I was not really quite hooked yet at episode 1, to me, 1 hour per episode is a little bit too much. True that there were some funny moments and unorthodox exhange of dialogues but most of the time, I was just looking into how much time is left before the episode is over (but I am proud to say that I didn't skip a second when I was watching this).

Despite this, I chose to stay because, well of course, Sooyoung is soooo pretty here and the main female lead is an eye-catcher as well. And I was so happy that I did.

And as the series progresses, I found myself wanting more at the end of each episode. I was like "no, it's impossible that 1 hour had passed already". I fell in love, not just with the series but the characters and the actors portraying them as well. For my taste, it was so well written. Every single frame was so well planned, detailed and executed. No moment was wasted. From the mismatch sleepers of Oh Mi Joo to the symbolic touching of the pens in Dan Ah's office.

The chemistry across all characters is overflowing. Be it the two couples, the two female leads, the two male leads, the supporting characters. Each has an overflowing chemistry with everyone.

The story is really simple and yet the turn of events where mostly unpredictable and I really don't know how they did it.

For my personal taste, this is definetely worth my time and would really love to re-watch it!!!
