What is the plot of Run On?
Sports agent Ki Sun Gyeom was once a sprinter for the South Korean national team, but due to a controversial legal case, he was forced to quit. Oh Mi-Joo, a subtitle translator for movies, is thrilled to see her name for the first time during a movie’s end credits. Seo Dan-A fights for her rightful place as the future head of the Seomyung Group, but outdated prejudices push her down the list of potential successors.
