My friend had to take a long time to get pass the 4th ep but she is in love with it afterward and often repeat the same ep multiple times lol

I have found a lot of the ML that I truly love are warm ones. It doesn't mean they are not complex and character building doesn't take a jerk --> nice person. Being a nice, warm and kind person since the start can still have great character development, such as Lee Ahn from He is Psychometric and Louie from Shopping King Louie. Honestly, even Captain Marvel lol One of the critiques I heard for Captain Marvel is the "lack of character development" but I don't see why we always need to see someone started out as a jerk LOL That is like "a change in character" more so than a "development" in my book haha

But that's just me. Each can like their own but just want to clarify warm characters don't mean they are "nice 24/7 and never getting angry" or "boring"

I watch korean dramas for 16 years and I watch at least 5-8 dramas per season. I am telling you the characters in Run On are quite unique. In their ways of dealing with real life issues. But you already have your mind set since I see many have responded but you are not getting it so it's kind of meaningless to discuss further :) you can agree to disagree

100%. That's what I told my friends too. Run On is the Start Up and Record of Youth wanted to be but failed to be. It got the same city elite realistic witty romance set up, but the execution in the script writing and character building is completely on a different level. I watched ep 1 of all 3 and my feeling was: Start Up - I am dropping another boring love triangle with the SML taking the ML's script. ROY - It's okay so far but also not the best out there. At the same time I started Do You Love Brahms and DYLB was SO MUCH BETTER. Run On - Instantly fall in love.

I personally think it was already very good at ep1 and 2. I definitely think the drama is getting better and better but if you don't like ep1-2, I don't know how much ep3-4 would change your feeling since this is a very slice of life type of drama. There won't be any "big events" really. It's amazingly good at that with the characters building and dialogue but if you aren't into slice of life, this might just not be your type of drama? :)

The actor is 26, 4 years younger than SooYoung in real life by the way haha

I don't think she is, but this drama has given a lot of respect to gender equality it's really refreshing

Commented on the other post too, but I would say Be Melodramatic is a bit similar to this

Try Be Melodramatic if you haven't :)

but warm ML doesn't mean they are uninteresting tho...

Haha Jinyoung and Park Gyu Young is reunited after that silly Magic School LOL

Yoon Kye Sang literally looks like how Park Jin Young would look once he grows older LOL But I get it, it's the JYP look haha

The Guest

Be Melodramatic

Did you watch 365 Repeat the Year and Train this year? :)

LOL I get what you mean and I agree, but let's not forget this drama actually got two idols in here hahaha

She actually has been playing as the main lead for many dramas already, so I suspect her choosing this drama as a second lead is because of how unique and charming the role is so she is willing to back down in this. (Which I agree it totally let her shine cos she’s born for the role)

I think all 4 of them are supposed to be equally crazy haha

I am on ep6 and I think I really have to drop this :( Was so excited for NGM’s new drama but this drama just has feels pretentious with so many plot holes and logic failures. The love interest was forced and unnecessary. I am sorry NGM, he really is tend to pick dramas like this. Sometimes it works well like Stove league but sometimes it really doesn’t work. Will wait for your next project!

Because it’s also a character driven and dialogue driven show haha it got very interesting and unique characters
