FL aggravated me beyond words, but I adored Ji Chang Wook
It started out *really* strong and I loved the concept. It was especially fun whenever the actors broke the 4th wall to speak to the camera crew/production "filming" them. I became really frustrated with the FL after a while. She did too little too late in her attempt to avoid her past and circumvent taking any responsibility for the pain she needlessly inflicted on Jae-won. It was really upsetting, especially after the (beautifully acted, btw. ..Oh my heart, Ji Chang Wook!!!) bar scene when she did literally nothing to ease his pain during his confession or after fully knowing he was "dying a little inside" every day from the pain she caused. It got to a point that I was frustrated he kept forgiving her and chasing her. She needed to put the effort in and earn HIM. Not the other way around. Still, I enjoyed the series.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Trop bien
Dés le premier épisode on comprend que la narration est originale , j'ai bien vu que certaines personnes n'ont pas aimé mais franchement il faut persister au moins un épisode ou deux de plus pour comprendre que ça ne perturbe pas l'histoire, bien au contraire j'ai trouvé certains passages vraiment drôles. L'aspect interview est en réalité peu présent , le format court des épisodes (environ 30 minutes) m'a plu , ça change et évite que ça trainent en longueurs.C'est frais, drôle et surtout plus réaliste que d'autres dramas, ce n'est pas surjoué, certains sujets sont abordés avec franchise mais sans dépasser les limites.
Cette histoire vaut vraiment le coup d'être vue au moins une fois...allez juste une fois!!Lancez vous !!

The Most REFRESHING Series
Almost every thing about this series is superb! The chemistry between leads are great. This is what a romance sould be.This is one of the most REFRESHING Korean dramas I’ve seen in a while.
I just feel like people aren’t used to this kind of new aspect. The interview format is lovely. The interview format like the office is great. i know it's a bit different from the k-dramas point of view but why not try something different like this give it a try you won't be disappointed Don’t judge the rating.
I LOVE LOVE THE CINEMATOGRAPHY. No words. Just breathtaking. Even though there is a flashback and present- it’s so beautifully and carefully executed so that it’s always refreshing. LOVED THE BEACH SCENES.
Ji Chang Wook is always great man he is so handsome he is the face of romance his acting his dialogue delivery is out of the world the car chasing scene the drunk table talk scene is just exceptional. His electric chemistry with Kim Ji Won was breathtaking. He played the role so good the realness of the character
Kim Ji Won is the most charismatic, expressive, and REAL female actress I have ever seen in drama. The emotion she depicts in her eyes is .... incredible. she's so beautiful so gorgeous she's so good and different from other actress her acting is just so great she did an awesome job in this series the beach scene she is so good in that scenes and the duality of her character she portrayed it very brilliantly.
So for plot its going so good but they try to wrap it in such a hurry it seems and the last episode plot of the policeman is just so unnecessary i mean why writers why you have to do that instead u can wrap up with the main lead as there story is still not completely complete i don't know why the writers did that.
Apart from this the whole series is just superbly amazing. Its the most underrated series and I'm just so sad that this not getting the ratings it deserved the actors should have recognized more for this series they did an exceptional job.
The soundtracks the Osts are the best just really amazing I'm someone who likes the series more when the soundtracks are good but this one is very good it makes the series *100 more attractive.
I enjoy it very much its gives butterfly in the stomach kinda feels in much scenes. The characters seems more real than the characters we used to have in k dramas. Don't judge you opinion about characters. They are flawed, relationships are messy. Every episode is entertaining because you get a perspective never seen before in kdrama concerning relationships. You will be mad, cry, intrigued the entire time.
I hope the review will help you just wanna say don't go on the ratings give something u like a try.

Potential
My 5.5 is not to say that I didn't enjoy this — it was a light-hearted watch and the aesthetics of it are so beautiful. I was even okay with the weird documentary format that worked in some places but didn't work in others because somehow they got "footage" from before and in weird, personal places, and somehow they were indirectly talking to each other as interviews bounced back and forth.The part that turned me off the most was the plot and character development, which needs a lot of work. It was like they had 4 pairs of characters but only thought about 1 of them, and even the story for that main pairing was dragged out and very thin. I was more invested in all of the other ships and they either didn't get a storyline across multiple episodes or just didn't play a role in the story at all.

SO SO different.
Lovestruck in the city breaks SO many stereotypes I think it well and truly creates a record of some kind. Right from the kind of non-linear storytelling, to breaking the fourth wall, to the candid nature of discussions held and topics spoken about, to the honest truth about relationships (not the same fluff we're used to seeing on screen), to the camping and surfing and unique interests and personalities of characters. This show is a breath of fresh air.Not saying that the show is perfect. But the pitfalls are made up for by the relationship that Park Jaewon and Yoon Seonha have in two months and it's the most relatable, wholesome, adorable, natural, quirky, real thing I have seen in any KDrama. Wook and Won are seriously #kdramacouplegoals.
PS: Choi Minho in a guest role was the icing on the cake for this Shawol!

Had potential but it failed.
Good things first :Ji Chan Wook. This man can act. I think that's what kept me going with this drama.
The "documentary" format they tried to follow was interesting, it didn't affect the story thou. Could've been better.
The three couples storyline was fun because they were different and "realistic" .
Ok. Now the review. I never write reviews but honestly I just finished the drama and I have a lot to say.
I understand what they tried to do. Yes, it's not the typical series, the time jumps keep you with your eyes open, there's a good chemistry between the leads and JCW's extremely awesome histrionic abilities. But there's no more.
It had all the potential to become an amazing romcom but it failed. The leads' story started to go in circles and then suddenly they were just together. They built all this tension and angst for a two minute conversation at the end.
The Rin-in and Kyeong-jun couple was cute and it seemed like it would develop with an interesting plot but WHY they did them dirty at the end. Srsly???!!
And the other two characters were SO interesting but SO wasted.
Plus WTF was that final episode? I mean, I love Cho Minho but what about the other characters?
I don't know. There's a lot of things in this drama that were just meh.
If you wanna watch it, do it. It's not for everyone but it's entertaining.
Note:
- I hated the female lead so much, I'm sorry.
-I appreciate the 30 min. Episodes

It’ll leave you a hot mess...
First of all, I’d say that JCW and KJW gave an amazing performance.Yes, JCW chem with PMY and JKW chem with PSJ are unchallengeable but this, THIS, ?
I’ve finished this like 2 months ago, but only recently decided to write a review because I really can’t forget the feels this drama gave me.
I’d really say MDL rate doesn’t give it justice, but ofc, it wouldn’t be an underrated drama otherwise.
The storyline gives you so many relatable plots and makes you wish you can actually do what the characters does in the drama. But this is coming from a city girl, so I don’t think it’s going to apply for everyone. BUT. JCW’s performance specially as a clingy I-can’t-forget-her guy really makes you have someone like him too. Personally JCW always gives you that hot-passionate boyfriend feels no matter if he’s a bodyguard, a producer or a *cough* healer *cough* but this time, THIS TIME, he reached a new level. ???
And yes, at this point, I don’t have much to say about KJW only that her character is a total wreck and may or may not reflect the norm city girl problems (I’m saying her character is a wreck, not her)
Let’s just say this drama has been on my number 1 recom list for a while now, specially if anyone is looking for a passionate romance, yes this is the one,

Love stories of ordinary people.
THE STORYThis story has 3 main couple who are very ordinary.

Second Couple - Choi Kyung Joon and Seo Rin Yi
Third Couple - Kang Gun and Oh Sun Young .
FIRST COUPLE

Few weeks were only passed when Park Jaewon get a call from his cousin to come back to Seoul. He decided to return he tells Yoon seon-a to meet him in Seoul at a particular place and give her phone number. But after he returned to Seoul the woman he loved never return to him and he gets ghosted by her and was left with only one message by Yoon seon-a.

What were her reason to leave him like this were her reason Justified or not.
Watch the Drama to know about the story of the other two couples.
The Story is told in an interview or documentary format which might be confusing or even a little boring for some but as you get used to it . It becomes very interesting.
ROMANCE
The Drama genre is ROMANCE but the Romance here is a fast paced romance instead of the slow burning romance for which Kdramas are usually famous for so if you like drama where the romance progress slowly slowly this Drama is not for you BUT if you fan of a fast paced romance this is the Drama made for you. If you want to see lots of kissing, hugging and even a sex scene this is the Drama for you.
All the couples have a great CHEMISTRY.
ACTING
From the main lead to support actor the acting of all the actor was top class.
Especially Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won.
MUSIC
For me the music of Lovestruck in the city was really good like even the music used in the intro itself was soo good that I never skipped the intro of this Drama.
Re-watch Value
For me the re-watch Value of this Drama is very good and since the drama is very short that it end very quickly and I can't get enough of it so I re watch the Drama again and again.

One of my favorite TV shows
Short, sweet, and easygoing TV show. I frequently fast-forward through the side plots of most TV shows because they don't hold my interest, but in this case, every scene was worth watching.Pluses:
1. Good chemistry between the two main characters
2. Personal growth of female characters
3. Ji Chang-Wook is adorable in this TV show, especially when he is upset. I rewatch sometimes just for this.
4. Easy-going city vibe
5. There's no needless parent or auntie drama, which I can't stomach
Minus:
1. The 17th episode was strange and boring

La fotografia
Mi è piaciuto il format di questo drama e la fotografia.. bellissima! Ho amato le scene ambientate a Yangyang, un posto veramente meraviglioso. Per il resto sono una fan di Ji Chang Wook e l'ho trovato meraviglioso come sempre (anche se il suo personaggio a volte mi ha innervosito), lei (Kim Ji Won) la conoscevo per il ruolo in Fight for my way ma questa volta il suo personaggio l'ho trovato fastidioso, dall'inizio alla fine.Forse lo definirei incompleto, insoddisfacente più di tutto. Ti lascia una strana sensazione di incompiutezza, come se mancasse qualcosa di importante per rendere la storia accattivante e lasciarti a bocca aperta. Sarà che forse pensavano di fare una seconda stagione e per questo lo hanno lasciato così, a metà strada.

One of my favorite K-dramas !
I’m so surprised that this drama doesn’t have an 8+ rating ! It’s pure perfection to me. Maybe some people just didn’t like the non-standard writing format, but I liked it. Ji Chang Wook at his most lovesick moments is priceless. And I loved the portrayal of friendship so much, the simple moments of deep longlasting friendship. Some very very funny moments too, like the scene in the police station where one of the female leads is semi-passed out on a bench in the station, but responds in a drunken stupor to hearing Ji Chang Wook talking about how pretty his love-interest is, assuming someone must be talking about her. First drama I’ve ever watched with this FL. She is such a great actress.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
If you're an adult you might have met these people (or be one of them yourself)
I loved Lovestruck in the city! I love that the people in it, feel like people: they're flawed, stupid, insecure, lonely... It's so refreshing to see a kdrama where the couples look like couples who are in love and comfortable with each other: they hug, kiss, laugh, play, have sex... No dead-fish kisses here, if a couple wants to kiss, just like that and I find that more romantic than the typical slow-mo where I end up wondering if the FL is consenting.The show explores love from different perspectives and how people react to different things, even though it uses the main couple as a way to lead the story. The characters are fleshed out and, even if you don't agree with their reactions, you end up understanding where they are coming from. All the couples have great chemistry and the friendships look great too.
In a way, it's everything I expected Run On to be based on the reviews I read before watching it (my fault for expecting something it wasn't). I know the fake documentary doesn't work for some people, but I love that it gives an excuse for the characters to talk out loud about themselves and to interact with each other unknowingly.
The acting, direction, photography, OST... is absolutely fantastic. I have no words about how beautifully this is filmed and how well everything works.
Also, the PPL is one of the funniest I've seen.
