Omg!!! Truck-kun where did you Isekai him to? ???
- Memories don’t disappear. They are smeared to your soul.When you see ‘Romance’ in a tag you look for chemistry and my god they had it. The constant timelines and parallels of snow and cherry blossom was a great symbolic usage of beautiful love myths.
The cast, the story 10/10
Rewatch value 10/10
Just completed it so I’m having extremely mixed emotions but loved it.
But I don’t know whether it was because of the ability being overpowering or something but our Sol only used her power for comedy settings. Ryu Sun Jae being an extreme green flag has my standards on a level I don’t know about anymore and shout out to the coolest ex-boyfriend Tae Sung. The parents being absolute admirers of their children and our second couple being just as green.
P.S: Mal Ja shii our halmeoni the MVP
And where is my Sun jae? 😭😭😭
This turned out to be a rant then a proper review I thought I would be writing but WATCH IT!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥

an opinion+advice ♥️
the first eps made cry because when sun jae was trying to comfort im sol on the radio. i relate too much on "thank you for living" cause i also am a fan of a band that is truly unreachable ,their are basically like stars that shines in the night sky its almost like their watching you every night and as some people know night is somehow someones only comforts at hard times. what im saying is the band that i love for me is like a warm blanket on a cold night, they are comfortable and just there for you when you need them . i felt that about im sol ,she lost her legs as i see as her blanket ,the thing that she needs on that cold night is gone ,i guess thats how she felt after the accident ,she felt useless as she saw her mother struggling every single day bcause of her.but that is no ones fault, she just want to end all the struggles .i guess she felt that on her next chance ,shes willing to sacrifice herself so others wont feel hurt. the same for sun jae ,he only wants to protect im sol and be happy together,but thankfully at the end fate gave them the most memorable love experience since they helped each other despite their struggles on their lives. i give a 10/10 ,its definitely a must MUST watch you'll really gain some advices on certain situations that you may incounter on a some scenarios for example like whenever your sad or worried or accidents happens ,always tell someone that you really trust so that you dont feel alone and feel that no one cares about you,remember there is always people who willing to listen.if a your a fan of celebs or band thats making you happy aslong as your not crossing bounderies then you can support or like them as much as you can.Was this review helpful to you?
best kdrama in the history of all time tbh
best casting in a drama ever like.. I became huge fans of them both after this. this drama has all the genres and tropes you've ever loved. youth, childhood, loser boyfriend, he fell first AND fell hardest, grumpy vs sunshine, angst etc the list goes on. the ultimate feel good drama that makes you cry and laugh in equal amounts. anyone who comments on plotholes etc just does not get the point of this drama who cares about the time travel plot and script in so much detail???? what makes this drama so good is all the tropes and the funniest and cutest scenes between the two. we get to see them grow up literally. high school to college to adult life we get to see them in every single stage of their life. even their families and friends were so entertaining. never been so obsessed with a drama like the before even the OSTs have me in a chokehold. anyone who thinks this drama is less than amazing just hates happiness that's all there is to it.Was this review helpful to you?

A Sincere, heartwarming experience
Look past the obvious pitfall of a story like that - the time slipping, which is the key to the story and it will be a very very very enjoyable experience.I started the series with no expectations whatsoever, having not read the webtoon it is based on or read any reviews. What started as a tentative dip of toes into this series ended up with a binge watch AND a rewatch immediately.
The story starts with a super fan who was saved from suicide by an idol and how she travels back through time to save him from his death. In the process of trying to save him, she discovers alot of forgotten memories and feelings and learns how he was/is a person who has always been in her life. The result of their realizations is an innocent love that transcends time and space. Its a simple yet very compelling narrative.
The soundtrack sung by the actor himself (as a member of the idol group he is part of in the show) is great. Kim Hye Yoon was amazing - yes she cries in every episode but each tear conveys a different emotion and she is the reason why this series works, she makes Byeon Woo Seok look so good, and now they are both on my radar.
In conclusion - this is one of the best series i have watched so far and is highly recommended.

Why you should watch Lovely Runner
Lovely Runner is a romantic comedy which is about a girl, Im Sol, who travels back 15 years to save her idol, Ryu Sun Jae.LR is a sweet comedy and i the chemistry between the two leads were amazing! I love the plot twists in the story.
The ending is happy of course, both of them will be together ❤
This 16 episodes drama (each about 1h 10min) is worth to watch, and can be a perfect show to binge on during the holidays.
Overall, I think this drama is funny, romantic, sweet, and cute. I have watched it already but i miss it sooo much. Great plot and good cast

Started so good, but they got lost in the story
Overall the acting is good from most characters but the story got progressively worse. I like the time travel aspect, but after the first episodes they tried to much and the time travel and the actions of both leads didn't make sense anymore. The music was great. Just to list two points I found unfortunate:- A majority of the story played with the characters in highschool and for me the actors are just to old to play highschoolers. At least college student or more of the story in the present instead of the past would've been more fitting.
- Another point I thought was unfortunate that the female lead had a disability in the beginning which I found so good and made here character more complex but that part just got erased in the time travel and never got picked up again, besides the fl remembering everything else just that part she and the writers completely ignored.

A painful watch
I want to start off by saying I'm not trying to bash the actors, I'm only criticizing the writing and characters.My biggest issue was that the character Im Sol was just straight up annoying. It's like they tried to make her as cringe as possible. The dialogue was unbearable and I hate that she cries almost every episode, they made her just so....helpless. All she does is cries out for Sun Jae?? That's pretty much the reason I had to force myself in order to finish the series.

Heartwarming and Captivating Drama!
I had high expectations for this drama after seeing all the buzz online, and I'm happy to say it exceeded them! Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's acting and chemistry are pivotal to its success. Their interactions had me giggling and crying throughout. The storyline is captivating, keeping me engaged and rooting for the main couple throughout its entire duration. While time travelling in korean dramas have been done many times before, this is one of the better iterations of it. I was surprised at how well they managed to pace the drama, and still keep it interesting across 16 episodes.Overall, I highly recommend this drama for fans of light-hearted and fantasy-themed Korean dramas. Give it a try if you are looking for something quite lighthearted and fluffy to watch!
Side note: I love the ost for this drama. 10/10 Have been listening to it on repeat for the past few days!

They are so adorable but what the fuck is going on with that killer!
Lets talk about the positive cause the ROMANCE is ROMANCING! I love the couple so much and everything about them! I was blushing and kicking my feet every scene the ml and fl showed up!!! The back in time thing was so interesting as well, filled with comedy and romance was so fun to watch!HOWEVER what the fuck was going on with the mystery side cause it would have been interesting if we actually found out the motive behind the killer/kidnapper! Cause we know nothing about him apart from the fact that he is a killer on the lose... It really ruined the show cause the whole purpose of the show was to catch the killer and live happily ever after but we got nothing out of him apart from plot. It felt really dry and annoying and the ending irritated me and lowkey ruined the whole show for me...
BUT the ml and fl are so adorable and definitely raised my standards!

Started off great, ended up disappointed
Initially, I thought this kdrama would be a refreshing story about depression, disability, and fate. But of course, it ended up being just another kdrama with a meaningless serial killer driving the plot. Honestly, the serial killer is my biggest gripe about this series. He's a nobody antagonist who came out of nowhere with a grudge against the leads for no reason. They spent zero time fleshing him out, with no mention of his motivations, backstory, challenges, nothing. He's simply a plot device driving the couple apart and back together. Not to mention how they quickly killed him off at the end and then boom happy ending everyone's happy. However, Im Sol and Seon Jae were delightful to watch, and their chemistry was amazing. The comedic moments were well executed, and their story was touching. But I can't help but feel the story could have been so much more. If they had followed through with their setup: a story about a disabled woman and a depressed idol, where she goes back in time to save him from himself, the story would have been so much more impactful. I really don't like how they just discarded those plots. All of Im Sol's struggles with her disability and Seon jae's struggles with burnout and fame are just thrown out the window in favor of a generic serial killing taxi driver. If I rewatch this, it will be for the couple and the comedy aspect, because the plot really disappointed me.Was this review helpful to you?
Love this ?
I really enjoyed this drama. The best after QOT. Both lead actor and actress did such an amazing acting. Great chemistry….Woo Seok should be given more lead roles. His acting is great. The other casts were all great too. This drama is entertaining…funny plot, suspense, loving etc. I will rewatch it!Was this review helpful to you?
Didn’t like the female cast.Kim Hye-yoon looks like a old hag
Finished Lovely Runner yesterday. Good enough as a rom-com. The love chemistry between the hero and heroine was very strong and the romance was there. I mean, it has all the sweet romance a viewer wants. In short, it lives up to the name "Lovely".Now let's talk about the main plot. I am a fan of dramas such as personal time travel, body switch (Hollywood, Bollywood, Anime, K drama all). Looking at the depth of the story, it seems a little weak. Like other dramas, it could not hold intense, suspense. 4 - What I was predicting in episode 5 happened in the drama plot twist.
Kim Hye-yoon is only 27 years old. The school dress looks older for some unknown reason. It doesn't suit her very well.Her acting is so poor and over acted in every scenes.
Overall it was an enjoyable drama.
