The Korean drama "Piggyback You Run" is being extremely well received by moviegoers, making waves around the globe. It took 3 years to produce, many people are curious why the film is as successful as it is now.

tvN's hit drama "Piggyback " received a lot of love from the audience when it broke the personal record for the highest viewership. Not only that, the band Eclipse in the film also recorded a skyrocketing popularity when the song SuddenShow entered the Top 100 Melon, an achievement that even famous singers can hardly achieve.

Despite achieving many impressive achievements, few people know at first, Piggyback that runs is predicted to be difficult to succeed in the Korean market. It took three years for the film to be produced. Many male actors turned down film offers because they thought it was a story of unrequited love for K-Pop fans. Casting for the lead role was difficult until Byun Woo Seok decided to join the drama. At this time, the piggyback that runs is produced.

In this regard, one netizen explained, "The screenwriter always thought of Kim Hye Yoon when writing the script. She said that no matter what, the heroine must be Kim Hye Yoon. The male actors all turned down the role, but Byun Woo Seok later accepted. He was cast after the director saw 20th Century Girl."

Few people know that, before becoming globally famous, the movie "Piggyback You Run" was not expected in Korea. The reason is because the film revolves around the story of a famous fan girl and idol - a topic that is not too new.

After that, the project faced difficulties and had to be interrupted for up to 3 years because of the change of director, many male actors refused to play the main role. It wasn't until Byun Woo Seok accepted the role that filming could begin.

Worth mentioning, not only trying to lose weight, fully transforming into the famous idol of Eclipse - Ryu Sun Jae, but Byun Woo Seok also received many compliments when singing OST (soundtrack) by himself.

In particular, the OST "Sudden Show" performed by Ryu Sun Jae is a self-composed song reminiscent of his first love with Im Sol. The fact that the song debuted on the Melon top 100 chart was surprising, evaluated by the media, is an achievement that many famous singers also challenge.

Along with the male lead, the role of Im Sol was also chosen by screenwriter Kim Hye Yoon to write. "If it hadn't been for actor Kim Hye Yoon or if she hadn't accepted the acting offer, the project wouldn't have had a chance to be successful," director Yoon Jong Ho revealed.

This shows that, without the nod of Byun Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, "Carry me and run" could not have gone as smoothly and received as much love from the audience as it is now. The pair are highly appreciated by the media, experts and audiences for their perfect on-screen combination.

While Byun Woo Seok was praised "as if he came out of the page" when he took on the role of Sun Jae, film critic Jeong Seok Hyun also commented that Kim Hye Yoon made the drama convincing by acting with a full range of emotions.

Earlier, Kim Hye Yoon shared with the media that she tries to show many sides of Sol — from a 34-year-old diehard fan to a determined 19-year-old student trying to change the tragic fate of her beloved idol.

Meanwhile, Byun Woo Seok confessed that after reading the script, many scenes flashed through his mind that were beautiful and poetic, making him really want to play Sun Jae and make an effort to portray the character.
