Plot Synopsis

RUN ON is a romantic drama series about the intermingling of people who have trouble communicating, even while speaking in the same language. It features people from different backgrounds who nurture relationships using their own language. Ki Seon-gyeom is a sprinter on the national team who is popular enough with the public to sell tickets to unpopular track events. His whole life, he never looked back while running to win, both literally and figuratively, until a fateful event turned his life upside down and forced him to retire. After leaving the track, he learns to open his eyes to what he never saw as a runner after he meets Oh Mi-joo, who constantly has to retrace her steps -- functioning like a bridge between different languages as a translator. She first became aware of foreign languages at a theater watching a movie she would not have understood without the subtitles. She began noticing errors in the subtitles, and when the mistakes became too much to take, she became a translator without hesitation. She finds herself drawn toward Ki Seon-gyeom, who has seized her like fate, and rocked her world with the same force as the tremor she felt the first time her name appeared in the movie credits. RUN debuted on Netflix on Wednesday, December 16, 2020 at 9am ET/6am PT.
