Another drama ended this week, and from the buzz (or lack thereoff), it appears jTBC Wed-Thurs romance Run On elicited audience interaction as light in touch as the slice-of-life it was presenting. This one I watched two episodes of and … Continue reading

I’m so annoyed to be sooooo busy right now with work that I’m still behind on newly aired dramas, including the one I’m most excited about this December the double dose of OTP jTBC drama Run On. The network aired … Continue reading

I feel like upcoming jTBC drama Run On is the palate cleanser after the unnecessary shipping wars in recently finished tvN drama Start-Up. This one not only doesn’t even have the suggestion of a love triangle, the drama is actively … Continue reading

Aaaaahhhhh this feels nice, a sense of normalcy and nostalgia for how big this awards got in recent years and perhaps a nice slimming down to focus on just the core competencies. The 2020 MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) went … Continue reading

The last K-drama I’m anticipating for 2020 is the jTBC romance Run On, arriving on December 16th just in time to add to my roster for my usual holiday binge. The first posters featured the first OTP set with Shin … Continue reading

I like to think of upcoming jTBC drama Run On as two separate dramas that are interconnected because it has two sets of OTPs so the second leads are just different leads with their own cute story. The drama has … Continue reading
