This drama ran towards my heart.
Definitely a drama I enjoyed watching. Not something you found around easily. It's a heartwarming, combines comedy, drama and romance leaving you with a satisfying feeling at the end of each episode. Sure, the story is unfolding slowly, but that under no circumstances makes the show boring! There's always something happening to make you laugh and enjoy your time while watching.The plot surely has familiar bits that you've seen before, but the writer manages to maintain the element of surprise and twists every other scene making you want more. There's a fresh point of view in stories you might already have seen and that's what makes this show different. Most importantly, this is not just a love story. Life is depicted and you see obstacles someone might have to face. The characters don't drown themselves in love, they maintain their individuality.
Speaking of characters, I love how different from each other the main characters are. All of them have distinct personalities that might seem too hard to blend together, but they still find middle ground. It's hard to play favourites, you just have to love them all. Every character is well sculptured and you always want to see more of them. Most of all I enjoyed watching their relationships developing. Not only the romance, but the friendships too. If there's a show that portrays healthy relationships, this might be it.
Overall, Run On is a show worth your time. I enjoyed watching it alone as much as I enjoyed watching it with friends. You don't have to be a kdrama addict to have a good time with this one. The plot is easy to follow, the characters charm you at first sight and their chemistry is everything!

Doomed to enjoy this one!
If you enjoyed Goblin and Tale of the Nine-Tailed, you'd probably love this one too. This one though seems like it is built with more realistic characters and the plot does not solely focus on the supernatural elements existing. This makes it easier for the viewer to relate and get attached to the drama. I don't think that's something I have experienced with other fantasy dramas.Now, in terms of characters I think it's one of the most charming, out-of-a-book relationship I have come across. You can really feel the strong feelings going on. They both have interesting aspects of personality shown from the very first episodes. You get interested in them, their background and their surroundings. Every trait of them is hinted in every other scene rather than easily served to the viewer.
I'm not quite sure where the second lead roles stand in the plot, but i hope we get to see their part in the story soon.
The scenery, locations and set design in general is really pleasing and the cinematography takes full advantage of it.
Sure its early to judge but there are already some scenes I'd gladly rewatch soon. With that being noted and my expectations set high I genuinely recommend this one.
Hope you enjoy watching!
