The scene where track and field athlete Ki Seon Gyeom (Im Siwan) and film translator Oh Mi Joo (Shin Se Kyung) talked about the issues within the sports and film industries gained attention from viewers, especially from those working in the mentioned fields. The episode depicted the problems that need to be resolved with helping hands from the people involved.
There is also a line where Ki Seon Gyeom said, "You don't blame yourself, but blame those people who made it this way," pertaining to the inequality prevalent in the sports industry, including the inadequate punishment for evil-doers and not enough protection for the victims.
Another scene that earned traction was when Oh Ji Moo was talking to one of her workmates about their work environment: "Rip off unpaid work!" This also showed a sad and disappointing reality that most employees experience.

Further, there is a scene where Seo Dan Ah (Sooyoung) pointed out, "I want to be the best CEO. If I do it, it's abnormal and once you do it, it's normal. But the only difference between you and I is gender." She was talking to a guy colleague who has been discrediting her capabilities because she is a woman. Because for him, her gender makes her not qualified to be the boss.
This is another social issue that many women suffer from despite efforts of a myriad of advocacy groups. Sexism remains apparent, not just when it comes to handling things at work.
Then, there is a scene when Seo Dan Ah is being forced by her father to marry a guy that she doesn't like. Thanks to her strong personality though, she managed to voice out the things that she wanted to say. "The more uncomfortable I become, the more I know."
These are just some of the scenes that demonstrate our current society. Thanks to these, "Run On" made a huge turning point to many viewers.
