Arthur Chen and Zhuang Dafei Star in a Heartwarming Romance About Second Chances in Eat Run Love

The new Chinese romantic drama Eat Run Love, starring Arthur Chen and Zhuang Dafei, has quickly become a must-watch for fans of heartfelt love stories. Premiering on April 8 on Youku, the series blends youthful romance, personal growth, and the healing power of shared passions—specifically, running and food.

A Love Story Across Time

Adapted from Chen Zhiyao’s popular novel The Gold-Digging Romance/拜金罗曼史, the drama follows Gan Yang (Chen Feiyu), a wealthy but down-to-earth college student, and Ding Zhitong (Zhuang Dafei), a pragmatic and ambitious girl from a modest background. Their love story begins in university, where they bond over late-night meals and early-morning runs. However, misunderstandings and life’s harsh realities force them apart. Years later, they reunite in the corporate world, where old feelings resurface amid new challenges.

What sets Eat, Run, Love apart is its refreshing take on romance—eschewing melodrama for quiet, everyday moments. Running isn’t just a hobby for Gan Yang; it becomes a metaphor for perseverance and love. The phrase “Will you run with me?” serves as both a romantic invitation and a promise of companionship. Meanwhile, shared meals—whether homemade tomato beef stew or simple cafeteria dishes—highlight the warmth and intimacy of their relationship.

Chen Feiyu & Zhuang Dafei’s On-Screen Chemistry

Chen Feiyu, known for his boyish charm, perfectly embodies Gan Yang—a character who evolves from a carefree young man to someone burdened by family struggles. His real-life passion for running (he once lost over 30kg through jogging) adds authenticity to the role. Zhuang Dafei, on the other hand, delivers a nuanced performance as Ding Zhitong, capturing her character’s resilience and vulnerability. Their chemistry has been widely praised, with many viewers calling them “the most natural on-screen couple of the year”.
