Corra Cavalinha! (2007)

Juventude, Desventuras e Sonhos

Mackerel Run é um dorama juvenil que segue o desajeitado Cha Gong-chan, um estudante problemático que faz de tudo para impressionar Min Yoon-seo, a nova aluna transferida por quem ele se apaixona à primeira vista. Junto com seus amigos, Gong-chan se envolve em diversas desventuras cômicas e exageradas enquanto tenta conquistar o coração de Yoon-seo e sobreviver ao dia a dia escolar.

Embora tenha tido poucos episódios devido à baixa audiência, Mackerel Run se destaca por sua leveza, humor e exageros cômicos, o que lhe rendeu um status de dorama cult com o passar dos anos. Lee Min-ho, que mais tarde se tornaria um astro global, interpreta Gong-chan, entregando uma performance cheia de carisma que conquistou muitos fãs.

Para os espectadores que gostam de comédias juvenis repletas de energia e diversão, Mackerel Run é um dorama despretensioso, mas divertido, que oferece um olhar humorístico sobre a vida adolescente.

I found the drama really cute, the slapstick moments were great, I'll also have to say that the acting was surprisingly good, considering for most of the lead cast, this was a debut drama, and all in all I'd say it was quite a nice watch.
What was less than perfect? The story is overly simplistic and I feel that it seems unfinished, or at least unpolished. There are moments when you could just imagine how the story should really develop, but you see a very superficial and a stitch-work dialogue that just fills in redundantly in exchange.
It also feels a bit dragged on at times, but still an enjoyable drama overall.
All in all, I'd say give it a go, you'll certainly enjoy the comedy, though don't expect to get a performance of a lifetime from the actors.
This series is really best described by 3 words: funny, short& sweet.
