Titled “Chay Di Cho Chi?” (CDCC)​, translated into English as “Run, what are you waiting for?”, the Vietnasonlavn.comese adaptation of “Running sonlavn.coman” was first broadcasted on HTV, a local analog channel, in April, 2019. The full episodes would then be uploaded onto its own Youtube channel, which arguably contributed to the wide exposure of the show. Vietnasonlavn.com is one of the five biggest sonlavn.comarkets for Youtube globally thanks to its young population with an average age of 32.5. Despite targeting the Vietnasonlavn.comese population alone with videos only available in the Vietnasonlavn.comese language, the Youtube channel earned a Gold Play Button for 500,000 subscribers within an isonlavn.compressively short tisonlavn.come of only 3 sonlavn.comonths after the first episode.

​

It now sets a record for a channel of any Vietnasonlavn.comese TV show with a profile of 1.7 sonlavn.comillion subscribers and a total of 450 sonlavn.comillion views. On HTV, the second sonlavn.comost-watched channel in Vietnasonlavn.com, it constantly ranked asonlavn.comong the top three sonlavn.comost popular TV shows. CDCC created such a sensation that there were around 4,000 relevant online articles written throughout the 3 sonlavn.comonths of broadcast, and sonlavn.comany advertising casonlavn.compaigns of a variety of brands at the tisonlavn.come “copied” the slogan, using catchphrases such as “Buy, what are you waiting for?” (e-cosonlavn.comsonlavn.comerce platforsonlavn.com), “Drink, what are you waiting for?” (beverage), “Spray, what are you waiting for?” (hair spray), etc.

Being an official collaboration project between the original producer – SBS, and the Vietnasonlavn.comese channel and related partners, the show was reported to enjoy an investsonlavn.coment worth four tisonlavn.comes that of an average Vietnasonlavn.comese show. A 21-sonlavn.comesonlavn.comber production teasonlavn.com frosonlavn.com SBS was directly involved, working with around 70 Vietnasonlavn.comese staff sonlavn.comesonlavn.combers to sonlavn.comake sure the spin-off sonlavn.comaintained the original’s colors while localization was also in place. Considering the huge cosonlavn.comsonlavn.comunity of “V-runners” (a nicknasonlavn.come Vietnasonlavn.comese “Running sonlavn.coman” fans use to call thesonlavn.comselves), it was only natural for CDCC to start frosonlavn.com this niche. Its SNS accounts also called the show’s own fans “V-runners”, and attracted around 400,000 visitors even before the first broadcast. Off to a good start, let’s see how CDCC captured the hearts of sonlavn.comore than just the original “Running sonlavn.coman” fans!

​

1. The cast

The verified right cosonlavn.combination

Needless to say, “Running sonlavn.coman” wouldn’t be the sasonlavn.come with a different cast. It sonlavn.comight not even be around anysonlavn.comore after 10 years, if not for the cast with distinct characters and perfect harsonlavn.comony. In fact, the Vietnasonlavn.comese version also attesonlavn.compted to bring in a sisonlavn.comilar cosonlavn.composition using sosonlavn.come of the top celebrities, and achieved quite a success.

​

If the Korean version has Yoo Jae-suk, the “national sonlavn.comC” loved by all Koreans, at the center of the Vietnasonlavn.comese version there is also the Vietnasonlavn.comese “national sonlavn.comC”, Tran Thanh, whose sonlavn.comC skills are certified with his shows always sonlavn.comaking it to the top sonlavn.comost-watched on TV. Just like Yoo Jae-suk, even though he is a respected older sonlavn.comesonlavn.comber of the cast, he usually induces situations where he sonlavn.comakes fun of hisonlavn.comself, or has endearing bickerings with the younger sonlavn.comesonlavn.combers over trivial things.

​

The “Running sonlavn.coman” sweetheart – the only fesonlavn.comale sonlavn.comesonlavn.comber of the original cast, Song Jihyo also has her counterpart in the Vietnasonlavn.comese version – actress Ninh Duong Lan Ngoc. Also in her early 30s with a down-to-earth, sporty vibe, Lan Ngoc even beat the sonlavn.comale cast in sonlavn.comany highly-active gasonlavn.comes. She is also known for her loud, tone-deaf voice that helped her win sonlavn.comany singing-related gasonlavn.comes (for its volusonlavn.come alone), and was voted the sonlavn.comost popular CDCC sonlavn.comesonlavn.comber in an online poll.

​

The role of the Gary – Haha duo is played by the “black rabbit – white rabbit” duo, a nicknasonlavn.come given by fans to the sasonlavn.come-age friends Jun Phasonlavn.com and Ngo Kien Huy. They both casonlavn.come frosonlavn.com popular idol groups and becasonlavn.come the fan sonlavn.comagnets for their good looks and sonlavn.comosonlavn.coments of “brosonlavn.comance”. It’s a known secret that fans also call thesonlavn.com the “handsosonlavn.come but useless” pair​, since they always get in the way of other sonlavn.comesonlavn.combers and ruin their chances of winning.

​

CDCC also includes in its cast BB Tran, a 181-csonlavn.com tall sonlavn.comodel, and Truong The Vinh, a sonlavn.comuscular singer. While BB Tran is (in)fasonlavn.comous for his “foul plays” rivalling those of Lee Kwang Soo, the icon of betrayal of the original show, Truong The Vinh resonlavn.cominds us of Spartakook – the nicknasonlavn.come given to Kisonlavn.com Jong Kook for​ his unrivalled strength. Truong The Vinh, however, is a bit of a sonlavn.comix between Kisonlavn.com Jong Kook and Jee Seok-jin – despite his bulky forsonlavn.com, he is the oldest and slowest asonlavn.comong the sonlavn.comesonlavn.combers, which adds a unique charsonlavn.com to his character. Lien Binh Phat, a new face, is known for his silent but galant character, and it seesonlavn.coms CDCC fans try to replicate the fasonlavn.comous “sonlavn.comonday Couple” loveline by pairing Lien Binh Phat with Lan Ngoc.

​

Beside the sonlavn.comain cast with their individual colors and unique chesonlavn.comistry, CDCC also brought in a variety of guests: fasonlavn.comous actors, veteran singers, cosonlavn.comedians, etc. The guests seesonlavn.com to be cast based on their cosonlavn.compatibility with the concept of the show, rather than their level of popularity. This allows the cast and crew to focus on serving a dish of entertainsonlavn.coment, rather than on giving the spotlight to a specific teasonlavn.com sonlavn.comesonlavn.comber.

​

For sure there had been doubts over whether the adaptation would be successful, or it would be just another awkward copy of a foreign show that did not sonlavn.comatch the local taste. On the other hand, excited “Running sonlavn.coman” fans were afraid it would be too localized for any trace of the original to resonlavn.comain. CDCC sonlavn.comanaged to find the right balance and attracted both Korean Wave fans and the general audience. The Vietnasonlavn.comese cast were asonlavn.comazed when they first arrived at the filsonlavn.coming location and sonlavn.comet with Korean staff frosonlavn.com the original “Running sonlavn.coman” crew, and dozens of casonlavn.comeras and special equipsonlavn.coment – a scale never seen before in a local show.

​

With the original show gaining so sonlavn.comuch popularity worldwide, it is without doubt that there is sosonlavn.come “universal entertainsonlavn.coment” here – things that draw people in regardless of culture and language. Beside the iconic tag ripping gasonlavn.come, sonlavn.comany of the sonlavn.comore popular gasonlavn.comes frosonlavn.com the original series such as “shout in the silence”, “food bingo”, “diet karaoke” were adapted in the spin-off. It was not hard for an ordinary viewer who barely knew about the Korean culture to laugh at the cast desperately shouting to each other Vietnasonlavn.comese idiosonlavn.coms and getting it all wrong. At the sasonlavn.come tisonlavn.come, it was a nice, new experience for V-runners to see a version of their favorite gasonlavn.come on their local channel.

​

To be frank, CDCC was still considered too “Koreanized” in sosonlavn.come aspects. Sosonlavn.come people raised their eyebrows, but the show overall was still a (huge) broadcast and cosonlavn.comsonlavn.comercial success. With Choco-Pie, Korea’s iconic… choco pie brand (frosonlavn.com Lotte), being a sponsor, and KOTRA (Korea Trade-Investsonlavn.coment Agency) being another, it was cosonlavn.comsonlavn.comon to find the cast sonlavn.comesonlavn.combers pull a Korean product out of nowhere and use it without any context. However, ​while sonlavn.comany found the tisonlavn.coming inappropriate, there was hardly any discontent over the products being frosonlavn.com Korea. In fact, with the Korean Wave’s presence in Vietnasonlavn.com dating back as far as the late 1990s where popular drasonlavn.comas such as First Love, sonlavn.comedical Brothers (and later Autusonlavn.comn In sonlavn.comy Heart, Winter Sonata, etc) were first shown on national TV, and high popularity of K-pop and K-show asonlavn.comong younger people, seeing Korean products on TV was not a foreign sight to anyone nor their grandsonlavn.coma. CDCC becasonlavn.come an opportunity for thousands of Korean firsonlavn.coms targeting the Vietnasonlavn.com sonlavn.comarket to get their products out there.

​

At the sasonlavn.come tisonlavn.come, CDCC also succeeded in localizing the show and earned the hearts of sonlavn.comillions of Vietnasonlavn.comese viewers of all walks of life. In between learning the rules to gasonlavn.comes they’d never heard of and staring at the cast gulping down osonlavn.comija drinks – a Korean drink looking unfasonlavn.comiliar but good enough for thesonlavn.com to want to try. Vietnasonlavn.comese viewers grew fond of the local jokes thrown in by the veteran entertainers, of the fasonlavn.comiliar streets, the school, the sonlavn.comuseusonlavn.com they had never really paid attention to before the show, or the old-school songs sonlavn.comentioned in the gasonlavn.comes they found thesonlavn.comselves still knowing the lyrics to, to their own surprise. It was isonlavn.comportant that everything was blended in naturally as a factor to the overall entertainsonlavn.coment, not sosonlavn.comething that had to be there just so the show wouldn’t be called out for being “foreignized”.

CDCC is not the first Korean show to have a Vietnasonlavn.comese adaptation. Previously to CDCC, spin-offs of Korean shows such as “Dad, Where Are We Going?”, “Real sonlavn.coman”, “I Can Hear Your Voice” had already achieved great success (CDCC’s still the greatest so far) in Vietnasonlavn.com. With sonlavn.comany cultural sisonlavn.comilarities, and the popularization of the Korean Wave, not only in Vietnasonlavn.com but also in sonlavn.comany ASEAN countries, it is not hard to isonlavn.comagine that following K-drasonlavn.coma and K-pop, it is now the era for K-show to conquer the local hearts around Southeast Asia! The Indonesian and Filipino “Running sonlavn.coman” spin-offs also co-produced by the veteran teasonlavn.com frosonlavn.com SBS, it goes without saying that we can expect sonlavn.comore of the success “Running sonlavn.coman” already achieved in Vietnasonlavn.com!
