“Life is like a long run, just keep running.“
“And when you run on the track you like, life will be a blessing.” Now, I know that this series is not perfect—but it scored really high for me personally because of the way the story deeply resonated with me.
What I love the most about Born To Run is the way it focuses on telling a story about mothers and daughters without “fathers” involved and it is something that I can highly relate to as someone who only has my mother. It let me peek at a mother’s struggle as much as it is let us see the struggles that daughter has when facing their mothers.
A relationship between mother and daughter seems complicated is what I think, I often feel conflicted myself because there are times when I wish I can just go away because we bicker all the time and argued just like how Ruohua had this urgency to “fight” her mother but still do everything she could to care for her, or how Anxin gained strength because of her mother even though they are two stubborn people who do not want to lose to one another.
Cheng Anxin and Xiufang, Chen Ruohua and Xiuli — the mother-daughter dynamic between the two is really different but ultimately the same: mothers will always love their daughters, even though the way they showed their love could be a little convoluted.
Aside from the family conflicts, the drama also does a good job telling us issues about what it means to find yourself in this ever-changing world, what a womanhood it really is, and for showing how these characters — that feels very much real, by the way, keeps on “running”
And not because they are scared, but because they are facing life heads on. The downside of this drama is that I get it may not be everyone’s cup of tea because there are parts that get too depressing, not to mention that Ruohua’s mom is really, really frustrating
But I promise you it is worth the watch if you want to see a beautiful depiction of mother and daughters in c-dramas. Make sure to keep a tissue somewhere within your vicinity because some episodes are a real tearjerker (but all for good reasons)
