Corra Cavalinha! (2007)

Juventude, Desventuras e Sonhos

Mackerel Run é um dorama juvenil que segue o desajeitado Cha Gong-chan, um estudante problemático que faz de tudo para impressionar Min Yoon-seo, a nova aluna transferida por quem ele se apaixona à primeira vista. Junto com seus amigos, Gong-chan se envolve em diversas desventuras cômicas e exageradas enquanto tenta conquistar o coração de Yoon-seo e sobreviver ao dia a dia escolar.

Embora tenha tido poucos episódios devido à baixa audiência, Mackerel Run se destaca por sua leveza, humor e exageros cômicos, o que lhe rendeu um status de dorama cult com o passar dos anos. Lee Min-ho, que mais tarde se tornaria um astro global, interpreta Gong-chan, entregando uma performance cheia de carisma que conquistou muitos fãs.

Para os espectadores que gostam de comédias juvenis repletas de energia e diversão, Mackerel Run é um dorama despretensioso, mas divertido, que oferece um olhar humorístico sobre a vida adolescente.

I found the drama really cute, the slapstick moments were great, I'll also have to say that the acting was surprisingly good, considering for most of the lead cast, this was a debut drama, and all in all I'd say it was quite a nice watch.
What was less than perfect? The story is overly simplistic and I feel that it seems unfinished, or at least unpolished. There are moments when you could just imagine how the story should really develop, but you see a very superficial and a stitch-work dialogue that just fills in redundantly in exchange.
It also feels a bit dragged on at times, but still an enjoyable drama overall.
All in all, I'd say give it a go, you'll certainly enjoy the comedy, though don't expect to get a performance of a lifetime from the actors.
This series is really best described by 3 words: funny, short& sweet.

This drama is really really funny but what only made me disappointed is they only dropped it and ended it at only 8 episodes. The story of this drama could have been better, the themes of bullying, achieving your dreams and the politics inside school could have been explored more, nevertheless, this drama was really really funny ( and genius if they gave it a try). By the way the reason why it has only 8 episodes because the ratings were low so they needed to cut it. So, yes, the ending was a disappointment. But neglecting that kind of ending, if you are looking for an enjoyable drama that can get all your stress away, this one is for you.

Lee Min Ho was super fun here.

I watched this already last year and I would love to rewatch it again for some good good laughs.

Quick, Likeable, Short Series

Lots of surprises in this one!! One of LMH earlier projects and you could see he was destined to be a star!

WHAT I LOVED:
-The cast but especially Jung Yoon Jo as Class President Sae MI. She was really good and I just genuinely like the characters strength overall. Also glad they didn't make the character a hater after Gong Chan told her the truth. --Loved the LMH as Gong Chan. Always trying to do the right thing. Loved his relationship his bestfriend Bong and with his ohma too.
-The comdey was down right over the top but I loved all the 4th wall breaking. Very charming.
-THE ENDING OF THIS I DID NOT SEE COMING and honestly, I'm not mad about it at all. It was actually quite refreshing.

WHAT I HATED:
-The bullying Director, Teacher and Soccer Coach. But Teacher Ma took the cake. I hated even seeing him on screen.
-Pissed that Hyun was acting as if he owned Yoon Seo and she was pissing me off not sticking up for herself with her mother and him.

Overall a funny and likeable short series to enjoy once; and It gave me the LMH fix I needed. :)

What an interesting start, Lee min ho dreaming of becoming a star soccer player and playing for his country. Moon chae won returning from abroad and starting life afresh. Then there is school politics, bullying and so many amazing plots happening, and then episode starts and boom. Drama ends with a speed of lightening speed.
The drama could have been ended in a better way but it was cut short so much much that it make a feel good for the drama. I wished if this is ever remade we could get the full story.
Acting wise everyone was amazing. But Moon chae won, was really stiff in her character although she had funny scenes but it didnt seem fun.
Lee min ho, seeing him i laughed as he was so kiddish looking an i have looked him as a MAN in 30s. He seemed pure innocent child doing mistakes.
Most laughable scenes were when the actors had a lightening speed when running,it was so funny. I hated the character of teacher, as in the teachers are supposed to be caring and helping each student without discrimination but this teacher was so horrible.
Music was pretty good with BGM incorporated nicely

Its good fun watch just like a web drama genre.
