This show is a must watch if you are a Ji Sung fan or a marathoner.

I am both - hence this show is a 10 for me!

The show follows Ji Sung and 3 other actors as they prepare for and take part in the 2019 Florence Marathon.

As a Ji Sung fan, I enjoyed hearing him talk about his outlook on life, his love for his family, and his determination as a runner.

As a marathoner, I really enjoyed watching the Florence race. Having not been able to participate in an overseas marathon since 2019 because of Covid - I found myself re-living the race excitement and hope that I will be able to run this route someday.

Preparing for a marathon usually entails months of proper training and nutrition - so I must give all 4 actors a lot of credit for gamely attempting the marathon, especially when they only started preparing for their maiden race a month before.

The fact that they were amateurs and knew almost nothing about racing - what pace they should be going, how to fuel during a race, and that they have never run more than 10-20km in their life - yet they worked so hard at it - it was very motivating and inspirational.

Kudos to them for completing the marathon (except for one) in good time - especially Ji Sung’s accomplishment, and Kwang Hee’s determination despite being in pain much of the race was truly admirable.

Hopefully the cast will be back together for another season - perhaps to try a different course and location.

This is probably one show that I will be re-watching over and over again - to draw inspiration from and until I am able to race again.
