## Synopsis

My Runway (2016) is a South Korean television romantic comedy series created for tvN and TV Chosun. Han Seo Yeon (Park Ji-yeon) is a pretty model wannabe, and Na Jin Wook (Kim Dong-ho) is an egotistic top male model. After a supernatural body switch, the two are forced to live each other's lives, and the premise pushes them through the glamour and pressure of the modeling world while they search for a way to undo the swap. Kisum plays Park Na Rae and Ahn Bo-hyun plays Wang Rim, rounding out the principal cast around the couple. The engine of the show is simple: each lead must survive the other's daily life, from the runway casting calls to the friendships and rivalries that come with them, while the attraction between two opposites slowly builds. The series runs six episodes of roughly twenty-four minutes each, making it a compact, self-contained limited series rather than a long serialized saga. Its tone is breezy and playful, with a sincere romantic undercurrent and a light touch on its fashion world. Fans of Freaky Friday, Ugly Betty and Hotel del Luna will find a similar mix of body swap humor, aspirational career settings and warm romance.
