Lovely Runner Episode 2 Reactions
Why is the story similar to the mainlaind drama? I already guessed that the end would be amnesia. Oh come on, the actors' acting fully supports this drama. Even though the plot is like this

이제 이 시청을 마쳤으므로 나는 이미 이것에 대해 분리 불안을 느끼고 있으며 분명히 몇 주 동안 이런 기분을 느낄 것입니다. 제가 마지막으로 한국 드라마에 푹 빠진 것은 2016~2017년으로, 한국 드라마는 정말 완벽해서 속속 시청할 수 있었습니다. 한국 드라마가 전성기인 때다.

overall this drama is so good that there's no boring episode it will make you binge watch this the whole day. This is one of the best romcom drama I've ever seen there's no corny jokes at all. This will give you all the feels heartbreak, nostalgia, frustrations, excitement, euphoric happiness and etc. The romantic scenes are not cringy at all it's so natural chemistry is chef's kiss they're like a match made in heaven. Even the OSTs are perfect you can listen to them nonstop. Their choice for the member of Eclipse band is perfect too. Their visuals and talent as a band is really giving. Byeon Woo Seok as Ryu Sun Jae is the probably the best choice the producers made. The production for this drama was delayed for three years due to actors declining the male lead role but I can say that it's for the best. They found the perfect embodiment of Ryun Sun Jae in Byeon Woo Seok. It's been a really long since the last time I got emotionally invested in a Kdrama. Lovely Runner will always have a soft spot in my heart.

this is drama that keeps you hooked until the very end. i am obsessed once again. the last time i felt this was when i watched Extraordinary You, that drama has a lot of potential, it's story is chaotic and confusing that led to a bittersweet ending. I am full of hopes for Lovely Runner. Kim Hye Yoon is a really great actress and I know she'll nail this role since the writers had her in their mind when they wrote this drama.

It's funny throughout the episode then gives you fluffly feeling in the last 7 minutesSol's desperation effort in changing Sunjae's dreadful fate makes her looks crazy 🤪 Have some second hand embarrassing moments of SolWhen you wonder why Sunjae still treats her nice (although he calls back her BS in the pool), BAAM, we get our answer in the epilogue 🥹😍The best plot twist in drama history 👍Makes you go rewatch the first episode with a different perspective

The end of this episode was EPIC. I did not see that coming and it changes the entire dynamic of the series. Now I have to go back and re-watch episode 1

The flow of the story is very good, especially for the actors who performed this drama, it gave me a break from work, it's good that even though I'm old, these dramas are still not boring, also the actors and actresses who performed like ImSol and Sunjae found out.

Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok are some underrated actors...I hope they get the recognition they deserve during the airing of this drama and even after it ends!

Misunderstandings were resolved in just few scenes rather than dragged out long. The drama is not slow paced yet not too fast either.The switch from Im Sol's POV to Sun Jae's POV is a cherry on top. No unnecessary scenes either. This drama has yet again executed perfectly.

This is absolutely fantastic. Within just two episodes it has already become my most favorite drama of 2024. Although i have enjoyed many dramas this year, none have captivated me as much as this one has in such a short time.
The main reason is that everything in this show reminds me of one of my all time favorite drama, True Beauty. From their houses to the bookstore, family comic scenes and school settings, its all reminiscent of it.Even SML Kim Taesung's introduction feels similar to Han Seojun's and his first encounter with Im Sol mirrors Seojun & Jukyung's. Their dynamic seems poised to replicate Han Seojun & Jukyung's similar to Tom & Jerry relationship.
Im Sol is damn funny, every action of hers, particularly pretending to be a fake monk to warn Sunjae about his injury has me bursting with laughter.
Moreover, its intriguing how time freezes whenever Im Sol attempts to reveal the future to someone. It will be thrilling to witness how she and Sunjae alter their destinies.
Sunjae, by contrast appears reserved. It seems he harbored feelings for Sol for a long time but he couldnt tell her and she also never paid any attention to him, leading to a mismatched timing between them.
I cant express how much, i have missed this kind of shows in the dramaland.

Funny episode I like that Sol can't tell the truth directly. Because of this, he has to try harder.

Muito lindo e divertido esse episódio. Ela pensando que ele não queria ser seu amigo e na realidade ele gostando dela...entendemos o porquê de muitas coisas. É tão lindo ver ele gostando dela em silêncio . Espero que continue sendo bom assim!!!

This episode was full of perfect comedy, and we loved it. After that sad debut episode, we had a light and fun second episode. The actors continue to wow us with their prowess. Kim Hye-yoon does a great job of making us believe the storyline.At the moment, she and Byeon Woo-seok are carrying the show. We also love seeing our favourite actors, such as Kim Won-hae, who plays Sung-jae’s dad. There is a saying that one can tell how good a show is based on the supporting cast, and Lovely Runner doesn’t disappoint.The twist at the end was a good surprise, especially to those who are yet to read the webtoon. Sung-jae has always had feelings for Im Sol. He also saved her from the accident, which means he knew who she was that night after the concert. We can’t help but theorise why he kept his distance from her after becoming an idol. It is possible he was scared to confess his feelings, and there is always the fear of how his fans will react.This show touches on the para-social relationship fans have with their favourite idols. The reality is their relationship might have been ill-received by the fans. Either way, we look forward to slowly uncovering the mystery of Sung-jae’s relationship with Im Sol.

ELE SE APAIXONOU PRIMEIRO PF EU TO GRITANDO TANTO O primeiro episódio foi de partir o coração, quem é fã sentiu mais ainda, ser fã é um sentimento incapaz de por em palavras é ser amigo e ser distante, é conhecer mas não comer juntos como família, é sentir orgulho e admiração que você torce pra que chegue em algum momento na pessoa. Chorei muito E esse segundo episódio, o final 😭😭😭😭 por favor eu não quero sofrer não posso 😭 Ele se apaixonou primeiro 😭😭😭 eu juro ELES PRECISAM SER FELIZES
