The popularity of "Run with Sungjae" is attracting attention. On May 30th (local time), the American magazine Time reported that "Run with Sungjae" has a successful ending and will become the K-TV series of the year.
The article said, "2024 is only halfway over, but I'm sure that 'Run with Sungjae on Your Back' will be the best work of the year.
Other TV series will have to try their best to take that title," he said, analyzing how the show became one of the most popular.
They did a comprehensive analysis of the plot and ending of the work, and with regard to the ending, they said, "The happy ending for Kim Hye Yoon was not good enough for Song Jae (Byeon Woo Seok)."
"It is worth noting that Im Sol not only had a relationship with him, but also had the opportunity to pursue his dream of becoming a film director," he said. However, he also said that he had to "overcome" Im Sol's obstacles in order to achieve the ultimate happy ending.
They expressed regret that the episode portrayed Im Sol's disability as something that must be "treated" or "treated." They said, "In episode 1, we portrayed Im Sol's disability as one aspect of her character, rather than a tragic one.
"But as soon as Sol returned to his past, removing this aspect of him violated the positive portrayal of the character's disability," he said.
"If the happy ending included Sol's disability, it would have been groundbreaking," they added. However, they believe that the satisfying ending of "Run with Sungjae on Your Back" is also related to the success of the series.
Meanwhile, TVING, the first Korean OTT, has announced that it will be releasing a new drama series, "Run with Sungjae on Your Back," which ended its run on May 28.
It set a record by overtaking tflix's total usage time.
