Eat Run Love

Gan Yang is the campus favorite, smooth and popular, while Ding Zhitong is a hardworking student who has little patience for romance. He manages to warm her up, and they fall into a genuine relationship despite coming from different worlds. When Gan Yang quietly takes on his family’s financial collapse, he breaks off their relationship to shield her from the mess, leaving Ding Zhitong shattered and full of anger. Six years later their paths cross again in the business world, where she needs investment from his company. Old feelings clash with new power dynamics, and neither the past nor the present makes reconciliation easy.

Released in 2025, Eat Run Love is directed by Yu Chung-chung and Xu Ling Ling and was created by Jin Yuanyuan and Chen Zhiyao. The principal cast includes Arthur Chen as Gan Yang, Sabrina Zhuang as Ding Zhitong, Lin Boyang, Denny Huang, and Yi Daqian, lending the series a strong young ensemble presence.

As of its initial run the series hasn’t secured major international awards, and formal nominations have been limited. That said, reviewers often pointed to the leads’ performances when discussing the show, and industry chatter noted its potential for acting recognition in future award cycles.

Early audience conversation has centered on how the show treats class differences, personal responsibility, and the aftermath of romantic betrayal. Social media threads and fan forums have debated the characters’ choices, especially the ethics of Gan Yang’s secret sacrifice and the realism of Ding Zhitong’s resentment, which helped the series gain attention beyond its initial viewers.

Initial reception skews positive, with recorded audience ratings averaging 8.0 out of 10 from early votes. Critics and viewers have highlighted the chemistry between the leads and the series’ focus on loyalty, pride, and the price people pay to protect family. The storytelling leans on moral ambiguity and second chances, asking whether business power and past hurts can be separated from the heart.
