So DISAPPOINTED!
Forced plot! No believable reason for ML breaking up with FL that way and certainly no reason the FL went narcissticaly ego slapping the ML later. Every single twist was forced and left me utterly disappointed. The second ML & FL left me blind sided the way they suddenly appeared in the plot. And the way they made light of cancer was just the cherry on top.Was this review helpful to you?
Run away while you still can
"Eat Run Love" was a disappointing watch. Aside from Arthur Chen’s performance, this drama offered little to enjoy. The female lead came across as self-absorbed and unlikable, with her fixation on money overshadowing any redeeming qualities. The plot lacked depth, relying too heavily on forced coincidences and shallow "fate" tropes to push the story forward. Worse yet, the leads had zero chemistry—their relationship felt more like fleeting infatuation than genuine love. By the end, I was rooting for Gan Yang to move on and find someone better, as the female lead added nothing but frustration. A forgettable and unsatisfying drama.Was this review helpful to you?
A mediocre but watchable rom-com. Main CP onscreen chemistry was not good.
Eat Run Love is a rom-com drama starring Arthur Chen and Sabrina Zhuang. The plot was mediocre and not as believable as Ligther and Princess.The onscreen chemistry between Arthur Chen and Sabrina Zhuang was not good. Arthur Chen had better onscreen chemistry with Zhang Jing Yi in Lighter and Princess than in this drama.
I did not like Ding Zhi Tong's character; she is too dramatic and prideful. They both were, and it took 6 years for them to be honest and transparent with each other. The drama should have ended in 24 episodes instead of 28.
Synopsis: Ding Zhi Tong, focused on her career after graduation, never considered love until she met Gan Yang, a cheerful man who pursued her despite their different backgrounds. Their relationship flourished until financial struggles and societal pressures drove a wedge between them. Gan Yang, hiding his family's business decline, broke up with Ding Zhi Tong, leaving her heartbroken and resentful. Six years later, they cross paths again in the business world.

All the Tropes and Cliches
I am utterly disappointed by this drama. I actually waited so long to be able to watch this with Arthur. It is not like I expected to see another Lighter and Princess, but it could have been better. At some point, I questioned why Arthur Chen accepted this role.It starts strongish, then writers start pushing all the c-drama tropes and cliches with misunderstandings, lies, and events. It seemed like such lazy writing. One or two cliches, I understand, but after a while it overstretched itself.
I love a green flag ML and a strong, decisive FL. I was super hopeful with them as well. They had good chemistry, yet lacked the intimacy.
The second couple's story took a ridiculous turn. I think they wanted to go for an interesting twist. At first, I was okay with it, but the inconsistencies with the situation annoyed me.
Overall, it was cutish and nice. I do not know why I am this disappointed either. I hope they do better storytelling in the future.

they could have shorten this drama. cannot finish it
main points:dragged plot.
acting is okay,
nonsense long flashback of their lovestories.
no value added scenes.
"assumptions killed opportunities".
personal opinion:
i came to watch Arthur Chen.
i just dont like actress/ actor that only good/ shown in one side of angle (i feel sabrina angle only good on her dimple side (left) so most of her scene captured on this side. plenty of actress are like this. so not my cup of tea.
disclaimer: also im not an avid watcher, came to watch good scenes, nice to look at actors/actress, catching plots and usually i like it when conflicts started from episode 1 or existing.

FL is NOT my favorite
By episode 21 I truly hated the FL. What a sanctimonious b*tch. She's mad that he lied about cheating, but it was ok for her to lie about being married. She holds onto a grudge as if it was going to save her pathic life. I'm just mad they ended up together.The ML needed someone so much better. Usually it's the Mother in Cdramas I dislike. One of my favorite dramas is Lighter & Princess and most everything with Arthur Chen. After the chemistry of Chen and Zhang this was a total miss.

Even the 2nd and third lead actors got better storyline!
I don’t know what i did to tolerate and finish this series. For the love of arthur chen maybe? Love the lead actors’ chemistry when they’re not quarelling but it gets irritating when the episodes get boring because the writer made it her mission to drag their separation until the end. The other actors’ story got even better exposure than the two lead. It could have been better, in my opinion.And no, i will not be rewatching this in the forseeable future.

Trusfratedly clichéd
Eat Run Love eats your sanity, wanting you to runaway & never love. I wanted to pull my hair in frustration. The main leads are the worst characters written & direction was pretty meh too. Not convincing enough to make us believe perhaps.Terribly clichéd & trusfrating watch. Every other couple except main lead had better chemistry, character arcs & proposals.
Screenplay so bad that it should be studied. ChenFeiYu deserved better. I can't see or feel slightest of chemistry between leads. The FL tops my worst FL characters list ny beating FL of will in spring 🎉 so congrats for that.
I'm sure those who dropped it were never picking it up after seeing reviews. It's a shame that despite loving Arthur Chen, I don't like the drama as much as I wanted to.

> Him chasing her in the fucking whole series.
> Even after him telling her all the things he have done still she have that dam attitude to make him dirty again.
> Ànd Ik she also have problems but girl try fix it why you're pushing him again and again and doing some bullshit stuffs with other dude's I don't know what kind of attitude she have.
> And he annoyed me too as a boy i mean dude if she saying too you that she don't want to be together with you then tf you're still chasing her why? Just let her go.
> Ànd in the last episode she realised she was lonely 🤣.
> I bet the writer is definitely a girl of this series.
> It's weird show in terms of there love story.
FEW PROS OF SERIES
> The story is good i mean the work they're doing for living.
> Side characters story is good.
> That's all.
But I will suggest you better watch Lighter and princess series of arthur.

One sided and annoying
Not sure why people want to watch the dating and slow development of a fairly mundane and boring romance. To these people,I say, go out and start dating instead of watching a very ORDINARY boring relationship not worth being shown in a frame for a total 14episodesAnd then there's the breakup where the ML is trying so hard, ALL one sided and the woman is so spoiled and annoying. Do Chinese people think it's cool for women to behave like this?
I read from other review that this writer is always doing this. So get this name, remember it and NEVER again watch anything written by this person.AVOID++(don't waste your time
