K-Drama School – Ep 92: Run On and Cosmic Yoko-Onian Cure with MariNaomi

K-Drama School

[Spoiler Alert] Grace discusses the show Run On (JTBC, 2021) starring Shin Se-kyung and Im Si-wan. Grace comments on the difficulty of viewing Im Si-wan as a leading man in a rom-com, and how he’s better at playing weirder roles. She also mentions how Shin Se-kyung appears more connected to herself in her performance as Mi-joo in Run On which is refreshing. Grace’s guest is California-based artist and author MariNaomi(@MariNaomi on Instagram and Twitter). They discuss the process of healing after a break-up with a best friend, the tricks of memory and time, “best friends forever” as a cultural construct, writing a book about friendship, the artistic process of producing a memoir that functions as an art book, comic, collage, coffee table book, and documentary, loving ourselves as misfits, riding out a cosmic wave aligned with intention, and the greatness that is Yoko Ono.
