MAIN CAST
- Park Seo-joon as Park Ki-joon (Ki-joon is a light-hearted, risk-taker who acts first and thinks later.)
- Kang Ha-neul as Kang Hee-yeol (Hee-yeol is the total opposite of Ki-joon. He is fairly nerdy and more of thinker than a doer.)

FANGIRL FEELS
- To be honest Midnight Runners is not a masterpiece, but it’s still an enjoyable movie. It started funny and ended up having a really interesting story behind.
- The big highlight of this movie is the cast. The two leads deliver and have incredible chemistry with each other.
- Park Seo Joon and Kang Ha-Neul did an amazing job. You will fall in love with their inexperienced innocence, and their naive charm.
- Friendship between Ki Joon and Hee Yeol was the most interesting thing to enjoy in this movie.
- The bromance was so strong in this movie. Their partnership work so well because of their contrasting characteristics and charm. They complemented each other pretty well.
- In terms of the storyline, it’s pretty generic and you basically know exactly what’s going to happen. It was simple and predictable – but still worth the watch. Not a single moment of boredom felt.
My Rating – 8.5/10
