A series that ticked all the boxes
Everything you want in a drama was more than likely put into this. I expected them to skip over things most dramas do but it went into them and dived deeper than i even imagined.What I loved most was how this drama reflected life, the awkwardness of starting a new relationship, the trials of family, the trauma of stereotypes.
I don't want to give much away but this drama even stepped into subjects that are still sadly taboo in south korea and i respect them for that as it is real and they can't hide it (LGBT)
The 2 main leads (mijoo and seung) were a perfect match, their relationship was built on trust, understanding and most importantly communication, I loved the fact we would get so many scenes of them just talking and it wouldn't feel boring. While watching the drama I felt as though I could really see their relationship progress. There was no silly misunderstandings or drama just 2 people learning to love and becoming friends to lovers. The slow pace never felt as though it dragged it felt real and natural.
The other 2 leads (yeonghwa and Seo) had a little bit more drama to them, while there was no silly misunderstanding there were more trials to overcome. I am happy with the ending they had, generally because nothing was forced. They had great chemistry and even better personalities.
The ending was beautiful, it left me feeling complete.
Thank you, writers and directors and everyone for such a beautiful drama this definitely made my month!!

A Getaway For Lost Souls
I never expected anything from this drama. I even thought that it'd be another sport drama like "Weightlifting Fairy : Kim Bok Joo". I was WRONG. This is what you called HUMBLE MASTERPIECE. Here's why..❤Say no to mediocre, cliche storyline you can find in any K-Dramas. It's refreshing, funny, hilarious, mind blowing and humbling. You'll find yourself smiling from ear to ear and crying in a matter of seconds in every episode (esp towards the end). So if you seek something different, refreshing & heart warming, this drama is your answer
❤Storyline that took focus on every character's daily lives. Just like someone said before in this platform, this drama showed that every person is their own main character in their lives. If you want a getaway from your work or even life itself, this drama will give you some kind like cure for your lost soul.
❤It promotes healthy relationship (the importance of communication & trust), LGBTQI+ awareness & female empowerement. Things that I rarely saw mentioned explicitly in a drama. Bravo!
❤Lovely, cute & beta male characters as mainleads. Really tho, I love how they portrayed both male mainleads to be more gentle, full of emotion & loving than the female mainleads. In contrast, the female mainleads are definitely independent Alpha females with their own badass charms. It's refreshing to see the gender role reversal.
❤The chemistry between the mainleads! 10000/10. Damn, I didn't expect to be blushing & squealing hearing drama dialogues. Seon Gyeoom, he's literally a poet & a flirt with/without him knowing that. His pickup lines or rather I'd say compliments for his gf were just too cute, hot, smart & unique at the same time. Seon Gyeom be lowkey waking up my deep down desire tbh, hahaha..
❤Acts : 1000/10. They're all amazing actors, but for me there should be a special shout out to Im Siwan for bringing Seon Gyeom character alive. He really left me with deep impression with his gentle, loving & nurturing traits. Even tho his character was oftenly misunderstood & even being hated just bcs he's mainly clueless & rather 'hard' to approach, I love to see him break down. Im Siwan was successfully portrayed that. You can learn from his character, to not overly thinking for whatever problem that you encountered on the road. Take your time, take a rest but don't give up. Enjoy the ride of the world that has given you.
For me his character would be the perfect depiction of my dream man/soulmate. Wise, smart, full of principles, family man, loyal, patience, had his own passion/dream, trustful & supportive. Damn even tho his character is awkward & oftenly lost on his own thoughts, but he's very charming in his own way. Just watch it guys, his & Yeong Hwa characters are hilarious to watch! (I also surprised to see Kang Tae Oh acting cutely. Even his cries also cute..)
❤Filmography : 1000/10. The asthetic, the vibe, the beautiful shots. Damn, it's not your typical K-Dramas, people, it's an art..
❤Motivational. Full of beautiful, meaningful & wise quotes from the start till the end. I even wrote down some of its quotes. My favourite would be "Who will be the longest to be with me? It'd definitely be me, myself. Until the day I die, even tho I already found my soulmate, I'll be buried alone, with no one but myself. I don't wanna love myself too much, but I also don't want to lose myself"
❤Bittersweet happy ending but it really showed that's life. Sometimes you just don't know what'll happen in the future. You just have to enjoy the ride and see what world will give to you. You learn from your past mistakes & experiences, to be a better person in the future.
❤If "Because This Is My First Life" , "Fight For My Way" & web dramas on youtube had a 'child' it'd be this drama. Slice of life meets romcom. Relaxing with normal pace drama.
Some criticisms that I should point out :
❤I felt bored on somewhere in the middle of the drama. Some scenes are unnecessary to keep & it caused the dragging.
❤Minor plotholes that matters to detail oriented viewers, but overall it didn't affect the drama.
So what are you waiting for? Looking for motivational, entertaining, sweet & funny drama, you really should watch this drama! Definitely worth your time!
Would rate it 9/10 ❤

This show was tiring!
Like, I don't mind watching a show which is character driven rather than plot-driven. But really, every Run-on character felt lethargic. Nothing wrong with the entire setup, but parts of it were too slow and unnecessary (could have done away with the assemblyman's cribbing). Could have easily wrapped up the everything (including character development) in 10 episodes. I wish there was some more context around dynamics of Seo Dan Ah and her family, especially the younger brother <3.Favorite characters: Yeong Hwa, Dana's younger brother and Doo Sik! I didn't care for the main lead. Slightly inclined towards the 2nd leads but gave up mid-way since that became cliched as well. Watch it if you have the patience to watch slow-paced shows with lots of everyday, casual conversations.
Lastly, for a show titled run-on, I wish there was more running involved. :-(

Nicht stehen bleiben - Run On !
Es prallen Lebenswelten aufeinander.Mi-Joo eine freie Übersetzerin für Filme, Seon Gyeom der erfolgreiche Nationalsportler im Laufen, Dan-Ah eine erfolgreiche CEO aus vermögendem Haus und Young Hwa Student der Kunst.
4 Personen die unterschiedlicher nicht sein können.
Jeder lebt in seiner Welt und doch begegnen sie sich unbewusst immer wieder.
Erst als Mi-Joo nach einer ungewollten Einladung mit einem Professor aus einem Missverständnis aneinander gerät, nehmen die bewussten Begegnungen mit Seon Gyeom, jeder lernt den Anderen besser kennen.
Auch Dan Ah und Young Hwa verbindet mehr als sie dachten.
Es entwickelt sich eine sehr interessante Geschichte, manchmal vorhersehbar und manchmal unerwartet.
Es wird viel geredet und man sollte genau zuhören. Manche Dialoge werden in "ungewohnte" Szenen gesetzt.
Leider sind die Untertitel in der deutschen Version etwas hakelig, so das mancher Dialog erst viel später Sinn macht, wenn etwas Handlung vergangen ist.
Wer Romantik mag, den einen oder anderen Film kennt, wird hier einige unterhaltsame Stunden haben.
Die Geschichte ist so gestaltet, dass evtl. noch ein Nachfolger kommen könnte, man wird sehen.

really disliked the second couple
it was fine. the drama was fine. was it the best thing I've ever seen? no. but it was fine. but, man, I could not stand the second couple. by the 8th episode, I ended up fast forwarding through all their scenes. I would have much rather had more scenes with Woosik or the father than them.I liked the first couple, even though there wasn't much to their relationship. I've never been one that needs tons of making out to be satisfied with a relationship in a drama, and you don't definitely won't find a ton of making out here. you'll barely find a couple of kisses. but that was good enough for me.

the perfect slice of life drama
Oh boy where do I begin... I loved everything about this drama, so much that I'm writing thing months after I finished watching it...I really think it has everything; an amazing cast, visually pleasing scenes, dialogues that really stick with you and awesome characters. Also! the OST by LUCY really is a masterpiece... god bless them.
Anyways, it's a tv show carried by the dialogues and if you don't like slow paced dramas that's not the series for you lmao but for me, that was what fascinated me the most... I think if I had to compare it to something, it reminds me of a Studio Ghibli movie, dealing with serious stuff but in a soft and hopeful way.
The writing is /fantastic/ and I think that they really wrote it like it was a long movie (ironically, movies are a big part of the plot but anyways), even the little details have a meaning with made my little obsessed brain really happy. The characters really are sweethearts... if you love the found family trope this is for you!!! Also! no love triangle god bless... and even though there's miscommunication at the beginning, the main couple has one of the healthiest relationships I have ever seen in a tv show... incredibile methinks.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a heart-warming drama but that deals with serious stuff too and the struggles of being an adult, that's what you're looking for!

De todas as coisas que eu amei...por que eu nunca fui uma delas?
Run on (na direção do amor) foi uma surpresa agradável, é aquele dorama leve e gostoso de se assistir, sem precisar se preocupar com triângulos amorosos Acredito que o dorama tenha um ritmo mais lento, contudo é aquele tipo de série que você assiste e nem vê a hora passar. Run on não fala apenas sobre o amor entre os protagonistas, mas também do amor próprio, nele nós acompanhamos a jornada do Ki Seon-gyeom em busca do amor próprio, de conhecer os seus limites e não aceitar situações que ferem seus princípios, já Oh Mi-joo é bem resolvida consigo mesma e sabe se colocar em primeiro lugar, embora também tenha seus próprios medos. O desenrolar do romance é fofo e saudável, é um casal que sabe se respeitar e entendem as suas necessidades. Este é um dorama que nos faz refletir sobre o amor próprio com delicadeza, entendendo que precisamos zelar por nós mesmos e que durante nossa jornada também teremos momentos difíceis.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Male Lead inconsistent in Cozy Romance
I have mixed feelings about this drama. I kept watching because I was fascinated with the FL's profession of subtitlist, and I liked the story of the second lead couple. The male lead actor Im Shi Wan was inconsistent. He was good in some key scenes, but overall I found him flat and stiff. He just didn't have a good active listening face. The drama also really dragged for me in the middle episodes. I can see why people call this a comfort watch as overall it's more of a cozy romance without a high level of angst.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Razones para ver el drama
Razones para ver el dramaKi Seongyeom: Nos muestran a un protagonista que ha corrido gran parte de su vida, pero sin un objetivo, esto a causa de un padre que, para mantener la imagen de una familia perfecta, fijo sus metas. Aún así, él creció bastante bien y es una persona sin miedo a decir lo que piensa y no, no piensen que lo hace de manera arbitraria, por el contrario, sus palabras y la forma en que las dice suelen ser siempre un impulso para los demás.
Oh Mi-joo: una protagonista que ha luchado para hacer de su sueño su principal medio de vida, el cual es ser el puente entre dos idiomas. Es una persona independiente, que sabe su valor como persona y suele defenderse de los ataques de quién quiera humillarla. Sin embargo, ser huérfana la llevo a pensar que no tenía a nadie a su lado y por tanto suele ocultar sus sentimientos.
Pareja principal: Ambos son polos opuestos. Sin embargo, al transcurrir los episodios vemos cómo ambos aprenden a hacer de esto su fortaleza. Abordando temas como el amor propio y también lo importante de expresar sentimientos, saber decir lo siento y te quiero.
Pareja secundaria: Para la pareja secundaria también decidieron poner una poco convencional: una heredera por derecho a la empresa de su padre y un artista que aún está en la universidad. Algo que me gustó mucho de está pareja fueron los roles invertidos, a él lo vimos constantemente haciendo pucheros reclamando su atención mientras que ella, en su papel de mujer exitosa, era un tanto distante.
Clichés: ¿No les pasa que a veces sienten que ya se saben la historia de los dramas? Es decir, por lo regular es en el capítulo 8-9 que se dan el primer beso e inician su relación, pero para el capítulo 13 llegan los problemas y se separan para regresar a mitad del último capítulo ??♀️. A mí me ha pasado muchas veces y no es malo, esa es la estructura en muchas historias (sobre todo las románticas), pero en este KDrama me sorprendieron, siempre que creí que tomaría un rumbo hacía cierto cliché me equivoqué. Y ya que lo vi en emisión, hubo momentos que tuve que esperar para ver esto, así que todo el tiempo quedé ? por no confiar en la madurez de los protagonistas.
Naturalidad: Ver como las relaciones de todos los personajes se desarrollo, tanto de amistad como de amor, fue todo un disfrute. No vimos nada forzado, obviamente para darle su toque de humor hicieron que los primeros encuentros fueran algo poco comunes?, pero en lo demás hasta podías identificarte. Pudieron abordar temas de la vida cotidiana sin exagerarlos o dramatizarlos y eso se los agradezco.
En conclusión, este será un drama que SIEMPRE recomendaré y diré que al menos le den la oportunidad porque les puede sorprender, incluso pueden ver referencias a muchas películas tales como John Wick, E.T y hasta Winnie Pooh jaja
Y si han estado dudando en si verlo, ignoren todos esos comentarios negativos y no lo piensen más. ?

I’m not a fan of Shin Se Kyung, but I always see her in other dramas that are quite popular, and honestly I don't really find her roles appealing. This time around though, I really like her role and how she portrayed the character. I cannot explain it but I really like her
The dramas lines are also astounding, great writing. Deep lines that somehow made me think and learn just by watching it. At first I find the lines a bit weird for my taste but then I have adapted how it should be interpreted.
The drama has a lot of side characters, and the first part of the series is quite uninteresting but as it goes, yeah, I was totally into it. Siwan as the male lead actor is the best choice, he is gorgeous and embodied the character really well. Siwan’s character is so cute, which is so far to the usual chaebol seen on other korean dramas.
My favorite line would be: ‘can you not teach me? How to break up? I felt the emotions in this line so much and I can't find to words to express how much this impacted me as a watcher. There is a tinge of reality in the drama and I don't find the romance over the top though the genre of the drama is romance.

FLUFFY WARM COZY VIBES!!!!
This drama is nothing special. The plot is basic and simple BUT OH BOY IT IS GOOD. There is just something ATTRACTIVE about the story where it tickles your lil heart uwu. NO BS LOVE TRIANGLES and cliche misunderstandings. In simpler terms the guy IS A LOST SAD PUPPY and the girl ENDS UP TAKING CARE OF IT and now he acts like an adorable loyal cute dog wanting HER ATTENTION.Breath of fresh air? Friendship goals? Healing story? Cute rom-com? You can label this drama as anything because its relatable in every sense. It might not be as memorable as other action-pact drama but you will feel happy and giggly watching it. If you FEEL SINGLE AND LONELY LIKE ALMOST EVERY KDRAMA VIEWER then this show is the one for you....im kidding <3

How is this so well written?
It's from a rookie writer so the that that each character has such depth is so interesting. Why does it feel like nothing is happening when everything is happening at a subtle speed, at the right tempo, giving a strange flow you get pulled into? The dialogues go from funny to deep easily. The acting of the cast is great. I never enjoyed any other previous drama of the lead actress but I still gave this a go because I have always admired the acting of the main male leads. I was pleasantly surprised seeing how much she has improved.The highlight of the show is how uniquely the four leads have been written. The strongest female lead might not be so strong and the weak in status one is not is one hell of a strong woman but if you notice all the women of this drama are strong independent, cool women. So that sure is refreshing.
One male lead is extremely unique, like a kid in an adult's body. A good and kind one. Very kind one. Another one seems like a kid but has the soul of a man, making him a paradox.
I am enjoying the human relationships portrayed in this drama and the friendship is so well written, not just between the male characters but between the female characters and the male characters and between all of them. The complexity of humane relationships is in full bloom here. Very raw, very real.
This drama has a strange power of making you happy after you have watched it when nothing exceptional is happening. This is its beauty.
