Lovely Runner

the time capsule, he having a secret crush since high school, him having an injure and not being able to swim again, meting each other after a long time, both losers, neighbours, both male leads missing swimming

Both dramas have female lead goes back in time and falls for the male lead.

Lovely Runner has more of the mystery element and she gets several chances to go back like in Shining for One Thing while in Parallel Love she goes back but tries to return to her time and accidently falls for the main lead. In both dramas the male lead finds out that she is from the future and her past and future selves may feel differently about him but they are willing to wait for years to meet her again in her time.

-Not related to time travel.
-Not idol × fans trope.

-He fell first and fell harder trope.
-Both ML shows 5 different types of love languages really care towards FL.
-Both ML & FL involve in sports specifically whereas Lovely Runner involve in entertainment.
If you are looking for a green-flagged or even green forest type of male lead. This show is one of them.

You say simp and the ML from LR and FL from WIFTY will compete to take the call ??

Though they have different genre high school and green flag friendship is what is the most common factor about both of them ?

P.S: Rewatch value 10/10 for both

Watched too many edits of SWDBS ML being the oldest, LR ML being the middle and FL WIFTY being the youngest child. ?

Repeated timelines while trying to achieve better ending.
Queen In Hyun's Man is a romance heavy drama, with much less plot holes than lovely runner, and the acting is to the point.
Lovely Runner on the other hand while it is a little weak on the acting and pacing part, it's full of fluff from start to finish.
Both are rom com. Recommend both of them.

Completely different stories, but they had similar quality in storylines the series stayed strong through out delivery a decent story with a lot of lighthearted comedic moments peppered in between. And unlike most series there wasn’t a midseries slump where the storyline loses steam, your attention it engaged from the first to last episodes.

Both dramas are about high school love and goofy lives of teenagers but with a twist!

- Main stories of both dramas are set in near past (Reply - 1997; LR - 2008) and framed with current time. The near past element gives the story somewhat retro vibe
- Both dramas have mystery element (R - who is the husband?; LR - what lead to the tragedy that happened in current time?)
- Both female leads are energic, fun girls and also hopeless kpop stans
- Both male leads are good guys who fall first

Difference is in the stakes of the story. In Lovely Runner, the stakes are much higher as FL time travels back in time and tries to prevent several tragedies; in Reply the fantasy element is not there, these are just teenagers, living their lives

The Similarity is that, Both the drama is about a second chance of life. Not only that both included being an idol having a second chance. Thank you

Both dramas revolve around the main character's ability to travel back in time to alter past events, specifically to prevent the death of a significant other.While "Lovely Runner" leans more towards a romantic comedy, "Blue Birthday" has a darker, more suspenseful tone.
