Cast & Character List
Chen Feiyu as Gan Yang
Meet Gan Yang—the guy who used to wear his heart on his sleeve and now wears custom sneakers he built an empire on.
Back in his college days, Gan Yang was all about passion and honesty. He loved fiercely and spoke his truth, no matter how messy things got. But life threw him a curveball. After graduation, he made the heart-wrenching decision to break up with his college sweetheart, Ding Zhitong, not because he stopped loving her, but because family responsibilities came calling—and so did a mountain of debt.
Fast forward six years, and Gan Yang is back. Older, wiser, and carrying the quiet confidence of someone who’s rebuilt his life from the ground up. He’s gone from a wide-eyed romantic to a self-made entrepreneur with his own booming sneaker brand. But what happens when the past walks back into his life—in the form of the one woman he never stopped thinking about?
Let’s just say, Gan Yang’s story is far from over.
Sabrina as Ding Zhitong
Meet Ding Zhitong, the kind of girl who always has a plan—and a backup plan for her backup plan. In Eat Run Love, she’s the definition of driven. Raised in a family situation that left little room for distractions, Zhitong treats time like gold and romance like a luxury she can’t afford.
But then along comes Gan Yang—a free spirit with a smile that could melt steel and not a single care in the world. He’s all sunshine and spontaneity, the total opposite of Zhitong’s carefully structured life. Against her better judgment, she lets her guard down. What starts as a cautious friendship slowly blossoms into a full-blown romance.
For a while, they’re magic together. Think late-night runs, shared meals, and stolen kisses between life’s chaos. But reality doesn’t wait for fairy tales. As sweet as their love is, real-world pressures begin to crack the foundation. No dramatic betrayal, no scandal—just the slow, painful realization that love sometimes isn’t enough. They go their separate ways.
Fast forward six years. Life has changed, but the spark? Still there. What happens next? You’ll have to watch to find out.
Zhuang Dafei brings subtle strength and emotional depth to Zhitong, making her one of the show’s most relatable—and unforgettable—characters.
Lin Boyang as Song Mingmei
Meet Song Mingmei, your favorite kind of chaos in heels. She's the best friend of Ding Zhitong, but don’t think for a second that she’s playing second fiddle to anyone.
Bold, magnetic, and always dressed to kill, Mingmei walks into every room like she owns it—and honestly, she might soon. With her striking beauty, razor-sharp mind, and zero tolerance for nonsense, she’s got a line of admirers... and a list of goals even longer.
She’s not here for love—unless it’s the love of success. Mingmei would gladly trade romance for a business deal, and she’s not shy about it. She knows what she wants, and she goes after it without hesitation. No apologies, no waiting for permission.
Her dream? Financial freedom by 35. And she’s not just dreaming—she’s planning. Whether she’s closing deals or turning heads, Song Mingmei is a woman on a mission, and watching her chase it down is half the fun.
Denny Huang as Qin Chang
Once a rising star in the cutthroat world of investment banking, Qin Chang shocked everyone when he walked away from his powerful position as a top director at a leading securities firm. Where did he go? Academia. Yup — he traded tailored suits for tweed jackets and became a college professor.
But don’t let the calm, professor vibes fool you. Beneath that refined, composed exterior lies a man as sharp as ever. Qin Chang is mature, poised, and impossibly low-key — the kind of guy who doesn't raise his voice, but somehow still commands every room he's in.
When he reemerges into the finance world, it’s not as a returning player — it’s as the boss. His comeback is strong, calculated, and, honestly, kind of iconic.
And then there’s his dynamic with Song Mingmei, the ever-charming social butterfly. She’s used to winning people over in five seconds flat. But with Qin Chang? None of her usual tricks work. He’s the first person who sees right through her — which makes things very interesting.
Qin Chang is the kind of character you can't look away from — mysterious, commanding, and just a little bit dangerous (in the best way).
Yi Daqian as Feng Cheng
Meet Feng Sheng, the quiet storm of Eat Run Love. He’s not the loudest in the room, but don’t let that fool you—this guy’s ambition could move mountains.
Feng Sheng’s journey starts in a small town, where he was known as a top-tier test-taker—one of those kids who could ace anything with enough flashcards and instant noodles. He wasn't just studying for grades; he was studying for his future. Coming from a family with little, Feng Sheng saw education as his golden ticket out.
His partner-in-crime? Ding Zhitong. The two bonded over late-night cram sessions in high school, stuck together through college, and somehow ended up side by side in the cutthroat world of international finance. Their friendship is less about hugs and heart-to-hearts and more about shared hustle and unspoken loyalty—the kind that’s forged in the trenches of impossible exams and brutal internships.
Feng Sheng keeps things close to the chest. He’s reserved, calculated, and always thinking five steps ahead. But beneath that calm surface is a relentless drive to rise above his circumstances and claim the life he believes he’s earned.
If you're into characters who play the long game and quietly steal the spotlight, Feng Sheng’s your guy.
Shang Xinyue as Xu Chenxi
If you love a good glow-up story, Xu Chenxi is your girl.
She starts out as your classic spoiled rich kid—bossy, blunt, and never afraid to say exactly what’s on her mind. She’s the type who’ll tell you your outfit’s ugly while sipping a $10 latte… and somehow, you won’t even be mad because she’s not mean, just brutally honest.
But don’t let the diva attitude fool you—Xu Chenxi’s not all bark and no bite. Raised alongside her childhood friend Gan Yang (yeah, there’s a lot of history there), she transforms over time into a sharp, decisive powerhouse. Think less “princess tantrums,” more “boardroom boss.”
By the end, Xu Chenxi isn’t just tagging along—she’s running the show as a top-tier partner, with the brains and guts to back it all up. Her journey from bratty to brilliant is one of the most satisfying arcs in Eat Run Love.
Yu Xiang as Wang Yi
Every hero needs a sidekick — and Wang Yi is the ride-or-die best friend you didn’t know your favorite rom-com needed.
He’s Gan Yang’s college buddy and business partner, and while they’re the same age, Wang Yi has already snagged a PhD in chemical materials. Yep, he’s that guy — the brainiac who somehow manages to be the smartest person in the room and the one cracking the dumbest jokes.
Wang Yi is what you get when you mix high IQ with chaotic good energy. He’s charmingly goofy, always ready with a quip or a wild idea, but when the moment calls for it, he’s incredibly grounded and reliable. Whether Gan Yang is chasing dreams or chasing love, Wang Yi is the MVP in the background — the ultimate wingman who always shows up when it counts.
If you’re watching Eat Run Love and wondering who’s stealing scenes left and right, chances are, it’s Wang Yi.
Lan Ching Lung as Wang Sen
Meet Wang Sen — 39 years old, dangerously charming, and the kind of man who walks into a room and makes you wonder if he already knows your secrets. In the high-stakes world of finance, his name is whispered more than spoken. People know of him, but few have actually seen him. He’s like a legend in a tailored suit.
Wang Sen is the type who oozes confidence without even trying. He’s elegant, a little roguish, and always ten steps ahead. Ruthless when he needs to be, calculated when it counts, and somehow still cool as hell doing it. Every move is fast, sharp, and deliberate — like he’s playing a game only he knows the rules to.
You’ll never catch him off guard, because nothing surprises Wang Sen. Or at least, that’s what he wants you to think.
