Light ,fluffy, but not lucking in substance

When I started to watch Run On I thought that it will be just another mid of the road rom com but I was pleasantly surprised. Run On is everything a romantic drama should be!! Light ,fluffy, but not lucking in substance! I found my self laughing and swooning over the two leads like a teenage girl!

At first, I thought that we will be getting another drama with the usual cold, emotionless male lead! But boy was I wrong. He was just so amazingly weird and OMG so cute and sweet!! He was not you usual rich spoiled heir! He always went out of his way to help other and his journey to self love and the impact the female lead had on him was a pleasure to watch.

When it comes to the female lead, I think she is probably the best female lead in all K-Dramaland and definitely my all time favourite!

She was strong, independent, smart, spoke her mind but most importantly was not psychotic . Usually k-dramas writers show us leads with psychotic, abusive and violent tendencies as strong and expect us to be happy that they gave us a strong female lead! NO! This drama showed that you can be strong and standing your ground without having to stab someone or be unnecessary aggressive!

The 2 of them make one of the healthier, sweetest and realest k drama couples out there! Every scene they had together make me smile and swoon like a teenager, some thing that , being the cynic that I am never though will happen to be again!

Many said that this is a slow drama, but I personally did not think so, maybe it was because I was so invested to the characters and their journey that I found each episode has something interesting. The character development of each character was done so beautify and the way is supposed to happen. It wasn’t sudden because of a shocking event. It was gradual and logical.

I would really recommend this in a heat beat to everyone that is looking for a light drama, with mature characters, that has all the ingrediency of a romance drama without much angst. I mean there is 1 character, but his impact is so small and the characters so mature that it doesn’t really affect the plot nor your viewing experience.
