im 4 eps in, and i must say, season 1 was way better. honestly, it isn’t that interesting, and got quite boring. there are a lot of lacking factors in this drama.

some scenes seemed so long, but weren’t even that important. i’ve also been watching in1.5x speed btw. i feel like i would still get a gist of the story if i skipped some parts.

could’ve honestly been better if they placed it all in one season.
——————————————————————————
i feel so bad for sun oh... it seems like they quite cared for each other in the first season. here it seems like she didn't even consider his feelings much. kim jojo was quite indecisive, and it just hurt others??

i already know the ending even tho i havent watched the whole thing btw, i spoiled myself on purpose bc the story was getting to draggy.

it wasn’t worth waiting for not gonna lie except finding out who she was gonna end up with.

This kdrama is exceptionally amazing in different aspects.

I didn’t expect much from this drama at first, because it has no major plot. However, as the episodes progressed, it instantly became one of my favorites.

It’s such a heart warming, healing show which covers a wide range of topics. It covers self love, sexuality, love, friendship, careers, family, etc. There’s just so much to learn from this show.

At first, I was hesitant watching it, since I didn’t really like Shin Sekyung’s dramas before, however watching it really was a great choice. To be honest, I didn’t know any of the other cast either.

The relationships between each character were amazing. They all had overflowing chemistry, may it be the two main leads, the two second leads, and all the different combinations that could be thought of.

It’s so nice to see healthy relationships, no toxic masculinity! Also, the dialogues between the characters are all so GOOD. They’re so well written, and I love how the characters are so honest. The lines were all so meaningful, and the way the cast delivered them mads it even waaaay better. Props to the writer since this is her first work as a head writer!!

The cinematography of this show is also so amazing!!! ALSO THE AESTHETICS. I can see how well every single detail of this show was thought of, including their little movie references. The code name candy, the movie within the drama was also so greaaat. How I wish they would actually have that movie altogether.

There’s also a lot of great quotes from the leads.
here are some:
-
- "When you run, you don’t think about what’s behind you. The only thing that matters is what’s right in front of you. Normally, it’s the finish line. but today, it was you.”
- “why do we fall? so we can learn to pick ourselves up.”
- “no one is born being able to endure pain from the start. so dont try to seem okay if thats what youre doing”
- “you can slow down if you’re struggling. Just dont give up”
- “i really want to get along with myself. i don’t want to love myself too much, but i don’t want to be too hard on myself either. i think it’s important to work hard on keeping a good balance.”

not to mention, the osts were also amazing! I loved siwan’s also, and it was great how he sang one for the show! If i remember correctly, he wrote the lyrics which makes it even more special.

Overall, this drama is really one of my top 5 right now. It’s just so warm, and makes you feel extremely great. It’s unexpected, because of the completely unique way everything was presented. Run on is super refreshing and a rare gem in the kdrama world. This is quite slow paced, but I think its the perfect pacing for it. I didn’t want it to end yet, and I truly wish for more than one season for this. Every single person that worked on this drama for sure worked hard and it definitely payed off!!

one of the best for me!

story

i think these types of stories aren’t for everyone, and that explains why I see some people find it quite boring. it was extremely light tho, and it can be seen that there is no major plot, just character driven.

the first few eps might've been confusing, but im glad i kept going on and watched it, because if i stopped watching it, i could've missed out on this great drama. its probably because of the enormous cast they had to introduce to the audience.

i loved the story though! i liked seeing their friendship blossom throughout the years, and watching this series made me wish to have a friendship like theirs.

the relationships in this drama were also so good please. i enjoyed seeing jeongwon and gyeoul the most, and that scene in the last ep got me so shocked! i didnt expect them to get together, the most i expected was at least a friendship between the two! im so grateful for that and I CANT WAIT TO SEE THEM IN THE NEXT SEASON. also, im an iksong shipper, and i’d like to see songhwas response to ikjuns confession in the next season. the scene when she took care of uju when he was sick was so heartwarming and i also want to see more of that!! i also like the other ships, but these two were the ones that made me super happy haha.

im also glad that it had 12 eps only for the first season. i’d probably be alright if this show had ten seasons, i just love it too much tbh. but i think the 12 eps made the story have the right pacing, nothing or things were barely too slow nor too fast.

ahh also, i like how this show is pretty relateable even though its a medical drama. whenever i watch medical dramas im always confused because of the terms happening hehe. it made me appreciate the medical field even more though. it showed the reality faced by the doctors. i know this show isn’t super medically accurate, but from what i heard it was quite accurate anyway. i’ve always wanted to become a neurosurgeon like chae songhwa as well though!

one of my favorite parts of this drama is also the band!! it’s so cool to see their band playing, and when i found out that the actors actually learned the instruments for this, i was even more impressed. i truly love mido and falasol, and want to hear more from them. i guess it held a closer place in my heart since i, myself play the piano and guitar. im not that good tho, but i was inspired to play them even more because of this!

generally, the story was so heartwarming, and comforting. it really holds a close place in my heart.

actors

okay so before this drama, i only knew jo jungseok honestly. but now that i’ve watched this, im a fan of a loot of the cast, even those supporting roles like shin hyunbeen etc. they all did so well, and props to them for that. im so grateful for this drama making me know them, thank you to the amazing people who casted them as well.

im impressed with their determination as well. as far as i know from their behind the scenes videos + band practice videos, i really saw how much they worked hard for it. whenever they record, they really take their time and make sure everything sounded great. the fact that they learned the instruments for the drama was also so cool! its pretty hard to learn instruments that quick and i remember mido’s bass teacher saying she learned it so fast that he was impressed. also for the rest, because it must be so tiring to practice that much! also props to mido singing off key when she’s actually so good at singing haha

they all surely gave justice to the characters they portrayed in the drama. their chemistry on screen and off screen is also so amazing! ive been watching all of the videos in the “채널 십오야” or na pd’s youtube channel, and im loving every single episode. its like a connection of the drama, but we also see how close the actors are nowadays!! its so nice to see them being all close :)

music
the osts of this drama were all equally goood!! i don’t have a favorite, since it’s so hard to choose because like i said they’re all good hahaha. i have their music on play most of the time, they’re part of my favorite songs! also, its so cool how some of their osts are sung by the actors who are in the show, its really so amazing!

rewatch value
i’ve watched some scenes again and again, but i can’t get tired of them. im attached to this show. im definitely going to rewatch this one day soon, and also another time before they release the second season!! im so desperate for the second season already, please come soon!! even if that comes im gonna rewatch the two seasons together hihi


but like i said, this show might not be for everyone!! but it was for me :)
