Lovely Runner (2024)

-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

Semelhanças entre "Adorável Corredor" e "My Unicorn Girl":

Ambas as histórias apresentam protagonistas que enfrentam desafios e obstáculos em suas vidas, mas encontram força e inspiração em suas paixões.

Em "Adorável Corredor", temos Ryu Seon Jae, uma celebridade brilhante que luta contra o esgotamento da indústria do entretenimento. Já em "My Unicorn Girl", Sang Tian é uma aspirante a patinadora artística que se disfarça de jogadora de hóquei para entrar na universidade dos seus sonhos.

Outro ponto em comum é a presença de um rival do passado que acaba se tornando um interesse amoroso. Em "Adorável Corredor", Im Sol, uma fã fervorosa, viaja no tempo para tentar mudar o destino trágico de Ryu Seon Jae. Já em "My Unicorn Girl", Sang Tian e Wen Bing, antigos rivais, acabam desenvolvendo um respeito mútuo e uma conexão especial.

Ambas as narrativas exploram temas como a superação de desafios, a busca pelos sonhos e o desenvolvimento de relacionamentos significativos. Apesar de ambientadas em diferentes contextos, as histórias compartilham a premissa de protagonistas determinados a alcançar seus objetivos e encontrar a felicidade, mesmo diante de adversidades.

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.

ML likes FL first (this one actively chases after her tho) but both really REALLY like her.
Suburban/Small town setting
Same quirky humor
Serial killer after the female lead
Both these shows add some aspects of a thriller in the drama which juxtaposes the bright romantic tone the show presents itself as.
(Both shows are able to still stay light throughout it tho)

Both dramas are about one of the leads suddenly dying and the other time traveling back to their school days in an effort to save their life.
