I’m interested in this, but I don’t want to watch a big romance plot right now. I want to watch a story about long lost siblings. Is that aspect of the story satisfying?
I, personally, find this drama to be so cringe. It’s not horrible, but it’s way overrated. If you want something filled with the usual rom-com tropes, however, this is a really good choice. The female lead absolutely owns her role.
I get a bit of a mixed message from this drama. The complete appearance conscious of the female lead is absolutely tragic, but like, she’s not even all that ugly when she’s no wearing make-up. Sure, her skin is horrible, but she’s a teenager. The message is that you need to wear makeup to be pretty, and that is false.
Sure, some people are born to naturally fit society’s beauty standards, but most people aren’t. I’ve never seen someone who is naturally “ugly”. Everyone has something very pretty about them, their hair, or their eyes, or the shape of their nose, ect...
Most of it is in the way people dress and carry themselves, and if you work at it, anyone can pull it off. Also teenage girls are horrible, and most of the problems the fl experiences really comes from her mother, who just does not care enough about her daughter to boost her esteem or notice she has been bullied.
It is a pleasure indeed! Although for me, I reserve the “guilty” part of the phrase for things I enjoy but know are objectively bad. This drama is quite good.
I find it funny that FL was using the Urban Dictionary for some translations in ep 5 lol.Also I NEED more Seo…
Even though English is my first language, I often look words up in dictionaries when I’m writing. I might understand the word, but sometimes they have a more complex meaning, and sometimes there’s a more appropriate word out there. It’s always good to double check. I think this was a very nice touch.
People who are likening this drama to Record of Youth are doing it an injustice. Maybe the uh, colour scheme is the same, but otherwise they couldn’t be more different. Other than the basic genres, I suppose.
RoY has boring, cliche dialogue with a boring, bland story to back it up. Despite the cast, their performances were underwhelming and the writer has (in my opinion) a track record of writing very average dramas. It was apparent from the first episode that it would fall short of high expectations.
Run On, however, is a breath of fresh air. On paper it looks the same as any other, and the character backgrounds are nothing new, but the script and cast bring it to life. Watching this, it feels like they’ve ironed out the annoying tropes - misunderstandings, pointless stupidity, dramatic love triangles, ect - and taken firm hold of the potentially fun ones, turning them them upside down and owning them.
Characters in RoY were barely 2-D, here they feel more than 3-D.
Can anyone tell me at what time kst it releases on Netflix?
I’m not sure if Netflix release time is the same worldwide, but I find that it is available 1.5 hours after the countdown seen on MDL. If my math is correct, that would be 10:30pm kst.
He’s really interesting, like, so complex I still haven’t really pinned him down after 4 eps. He’s also a nice person, though kind of hilariously naive sometimes... but sometimes not. And the actor is doing a great job.
I feel like a lot of the story will be addressing the unique way he relates to the world.
Ikr. So many people hate on her, but really, I don’t see why. Maybe she earned some in the past, but her last few dramas... she’s done a good job and definitely improving. I feel like sometimes the commenters are talking about a different person, it just doesn’t add up.
Was this already two years ago? Wow, I remember watching this... going in, not expecting a happy love story. It's like morbidly watching a train wreck... in slow motion. Fun, for the right mood.
Managed to hold off starting this because I knew I wouldn’t manage the wait between episodes, now it’s over I can marathon the thing. Probably more than once. Much excited, these genres are very much my thing.
I would say that this drama particularly has a very fictional take. It works around historical facts, rather than accurately depicting them.
Cant say more without spoiling it, although it will probably become apparent after the first episode.
