This drama feels like a hug when you need it the most

This is such a unique drama. It is very relatable and it makes you feel as though you're not simply watching them, but sharing the journey with them. It is wonderfully written and every scene and character have a purpose. As others have mentioned, there is no great evil plot, but this just makes it all the more relatable. It shows the daily lives of the characters and the struggles that they're faced with, how they overcome it, and how they grow.

I cannot express enough how I adore the characters. We have Oh Mi Joo - the strong, independent woman who knows how to value herself. She didn't let her tragic past consume her into bitterness; strove hard to be a person that her younger self needed. With all these experiences, I feel like she has become such an emphatic person and almost everyone she came across with felt drawn to her warm aura. She knew what she wanted. She wanted to excel in her field without sacrificing her beliefs and morals. She is such a hardworking individual but also makes sure that she has time for her friends especially when they need her the most.

Our male lead Ki Seon Gyeom - what a refreshing character. He's odd and sometimes slow to pick up on social cues. He isn't naive though - he knows most of the people in his life only tolerates him because of his connections, and they don't think highly of him either. He also believes himself to be boring that it doesn't surprise him that nobody is romantically attracted to him for more than a month. We witness his growth though, and how he slowly comes to love himself more; that he comes to find things that excites him, and angers him - things that interests him.

Our DanAh - one of the characters with immense growth. She went from only caring about herself and the company, to caring about others as well - YH, her brother, even her secretary. Yeonghwa is such a fun character to watch, he is outgoing and charming, and he also knows what he wants. Whereas Dan ah sometimes struggles to voice out what she really thinks, this is not the case for Yeonghwa. He also isn't afraid to show affection to the people he cares about.

Run On has one of the most (if not THE most) healthy relationships I've witnessed in all of my kdrama history. OMJ and KSG especially communicated very well, they were looking out for each other, supporting each other, and validates each other's feelings. I can't stress enough how thankful I am that they are aware that they will never understand each other fully, and that's okay. They are two different individuals, running their own races, and running side by side.

This drama is full of healing, of self-discovery, and self-love. It is understanding and respecting other's boundaries. It also touches on sexuality, and how beautiful and natural coming out can be when we can listen without any judgement. I enjoyed this journey, and I'll be sure to revisit it, and when I do it will feel like coming back to my old set of friends.
