Learn to Love Yourself

At first looking at the title one may think that the drama is about running.
Well it was a first.. but for me, I interpret it as running towards a better life.

This drama tells about the life of 4 unique individuals: Ki Seon Gyeom (KSG), Oh Mi Joo (OMJ), Seo Dan Ah (SDA) and Lee Yong Hwa (LYH) and some other side characters.

I really like the quirky KSG who always seems to help everyone around him without the slightest care of himself.
OMJ is the one who shake him up and made him realized that he should pay attention to himself too. I really like what she said to him in the drama "KSG-sshii, you should learn to love yourself too, because you are worth it"
Sometimes we may forgot to take care or love ourselves as we were busy taking care of other people. This drama made me realized that I should value myself more before everybody else.

SDA first impression was that of a bold and proud heiress but after watching more, I realized that all of that is a bravado she put as a defend mechanism in the surrounding and her family situation. Although the way she act around people can be annoying but she is very loyal.
LYH is an outgoing and cheerful guy that melted the ice walls SDA built over the years. He was able to slowly step inside her heart.
I love how LYH mature over the episodes as LYH & SDA relationship progress along the episodes.
He is a sweet and lovable guy and friend to have. (would love to have a friend like him).
I didn't know breakup can be sweet but LYH nailed it. (well the writers did).

I love how the writers sort of punish KSG's dad for his wrongdoings. There's a quote that the drama use "Parents raised and give births to their children but parents do not own their children" this quote is good as many parents seems to think they own their children and took control of everything the children does.

Overall the story line is good and comforting. the ending is even better. I would say its the best satisfying ending in a drama I've watched so far. Not only they give a great and satisfying ending to the 4 main characters but also all the side characters without leaving any.

If you are looking for some comforting, easy and fun drama about life then RUN ON is for you. I will re-watch this someday when I'm feeling down.
The soundtracks are awesome too, go and download it.. they have many great songs.
The casts are perfection. I love how each actor/actress portrayed their characters.
Big round of applause to the writer, director and the actors & actresses. They did a great job with this drama. Hope to see them in another drama soon.
Enjoy ^^
