THE BEST DRAMA AND MAKE YOU FAIL TO MOVE ON THIS YEAR ESPECIALLY FOR THE DIMPLE COUPLE❤️

I rarely give a 10/10 rating for a drama the tallest 9.5/10, but Lovely Runner deserves a 10/10 rating because this drama is really good in terms of the actors' acting, the storyline, especially the OST especially (Sudden Shower, Run run, gift, spring now, may I love you, I think I did, and a day ).

every time I listen to it again it makes me remember this drama so it makes me sad for those who started watching it for fun on Viu when it was still eps 2 and until the end, I like it That's the original drama that made Failed to move on , where is my drama list no longer available to be able to move on from those that at the beginning were Monday and Tuesday, I just used it like a normal day, but since this drama aired, I like Mondays and Tuesdays.

But after this drama ended, it became sad and felt really empty😭 and this game will last for weeks🥲

Thank you lovely runner for the special Monday and Tuesday🥰❤️❤️

Lovely Runner Review

Do you know a series about a girl that loves a boy so much, she goes to the past multiple times just to save the boy she loves? Well that series is called lovely runner! Its my favorite K-drama right now! This series was directed by Yoon Jong-Ho and this series came out at April 8 2024. The actors that played in this movie are Byeon woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon, these are the actors that played as Sunjae and Im sol, they are also amazing actors! And the genre of this series is romance and fantasy.

In my opinion lovely runner is the best and most popular K-drama this year. I also have 2 reasons and evidence for this, first, all the actors are really good and actually can act well, if you watch the series yourself you can see how they can act well as the character they are playing and all their expressions fit the scene. Second, The movie is actually very popular and the actors are popular too, one of the reasons are lovely runner was top 1 in viki for 6 weeks! That’s a long time isn’t it? In addition to this, the actors are also popular, one of the evidence for this is Byeon woo-seok became the top Korean celebrity in brand rankings and also won the Outstanding Asian Star Korea Popularity Award (Male) at the 19th Seoul Drama Award in 2024. Lovely runner also had another version, the webtoon version, however I didn’t read that version of lovely runner so I personally feel that lovely runner series is better.

Lovely runner seems like just a normal romance K-drama, but it also has something we can learn from it. Firstly from this series we can learn how God already planned our life, like how Im sol erased her and sunjaes memories together but they still ended up together, that’s how God already planned them to be together, a bible verse for this is Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future". It means how God already planned everyones life before they were born, like how Im sol and sunjae are still together after everything that happened, its fate. Second, we should trust in God for everything since he already planned our life, our future, we have to trust in God because everything he plans for us is good and is whats best for us.

To sum up, If you want to watch a romance movie with great actors you should watch lovely runner!! I would give this a 5 out of 5 stars because I really think this movie is interesting and fun to watch, I just love everything about this series and I really recommend this series, try to watch it!!

where do i begin?

this is one of the best Kdrama of 2024. and tagal kong inignore tong palabas na to kahit lagi kong nakikita sa feeds ko kada scroll ko sa fb naspoil na nga ako dahil sa mga post, memes, and clips na nagkalat. i really don't have time to watch Kdrama at the moment pero luckily nagka long weekend kami di ko na rin natiis kaya pinanood ko na kahit on-going pa. sobrang nakakaadik talaga bawat episode never akong inantok never akong nagfast forward unlike sa mga previous Kdramas na di ko na papangalanan pero di ko talaga matapos tapos ang dami kong pending sa listahan ko hahahaha pero ito? juskolord tinapos ko talaga within the day hahahaha sobrang nakakatuwa yung mga silly funny moments nila. yung saya ko dito kasing level ng saya ko sa funny moments ng Waikiki at Weightlifting fairy kim bok joo. tbh di ako nagagwapuhan kay byeon woo seok before ilang beses ko na sya napanood sa Soulmate pati sa 20th century girl saka strong woman nam soon.

dito sa lovely runner ibang klase yung charm nya shemay parang kpop idol talaga sya. ang ganda pati ng boses nya LSS ako sobra sa Sudden Shower sya pala talaga kumanta nun? tapos yung concert ng eclipse habang kinakanta ni sunjae yung sudden shower iba yung awra nya dun grabe naiiyak nalang ako sa sobrang melancholic nung pagkakanta nya. kung pwede lang sana magkaconcert sila as if naman kaya ko makanood if ever bwahahaha. pero overall sobrang ganda talaga netong Lovely Runner kahit gusto ko nalang sakalin yung taxi driver/killer na yan nang matapos na problema nila saka frustrating minsan si im sol ang reckless ng lola mo stubborn din eh i have nothing against kay hye yoon sobrang galing nyang artista hahagulgol ng iyak then after hahalakhak ang hirap kaya nun , ibiblame ko sa writers ng story yung frustations ko sa character nya hahaha

pero dahil sa palabas na to feeling ko naging high school ako ulit sobrang nostalgic yung feeling habang pinapanood ko to parang sarap mainlove ulit nowadays kasi ihi nalang nagpapakilig saken saka Kdrama bwaahahaha di ko kasi naranasan yung gantong klaseng love nung teenage years ko sadt hahaha pero thankful ako sa drama na to naging escape ko sya sa harsh reality ng buhay hahahahaaaays. anyways sana happy at satisfying ang ending nito at hindi open ended bittersweet ending gaya ng Extraordinary You kasi kung hindi naku sarap kalbuhin ng writers bwahahahaha.

The Ultimate Romance Kdrama

This kdrama was the best kdrama I ever watched and it’s absolutely perfect ahhh 😌. If you like romance kdramas, you must watch this. The plot was really exciting, unexpected, well-paced and I never felt bored watching this show. The actors were so talented and attractive and had great chemistry together. Ryu Sun Jae was especially dreamy and soulful… he’s really the ultimate lover. The production and writing was top tier and every episode left me wanting for more. The sets were so scenic and the music was amazing too. I really can’t think of anything I hated about this show.

All the emotions

Lovely Runner is a good 'cliche' time-travel romance that starts off as a straightforward fan-idol love story. The plot follows Im Sol, a 34 year old fan of K-pop star Ryu Sun-jae, who is sent back 15 years to prevent his death. The series blends nostalgia, romance, and suspense, with the finale that emphasizes emotional logic over strict plot mechanics.

This drama will take you on a wild emotional ride. It can make you laugh, cry, and feel all the butterflies that come with falling in love. Every episode is filled with moments that touch your heart and keep you wanting more. The characters and their story feel so real that you can’t help but get fully pulled in. By the end, you’re left with a full heart, maybe a few tears, and a drama you’ll never forget.

Some parts of the story feel a little slow or don’t make sense right away, but later everything comes together and it all fits. The show makes you feel all kinds of emotions, and by the end, you’re left with a full heart and maybe even a few tears. It’s the kind of story that stays with you long after it’s over.

Some parts of this series, particularly in episodes 3-4 and 11-12 exhibits uneven pacing. Episodes 3-4 introduce slapstick humor and exaggerated situations, such as the time Sol knocked Sun-jae into a fountain ensuing chaos. Episodes 11-12 feature prolonged comedic gags, including the subplot where Sun-jae's father is trapped in the bathroom, which some people (myself included) found quite excessive.

There are many times in this drama that makes you question "why?"
- "why is there a love triangle that never ends up occurring?"
- "why didn't he end up joining the band that he would've joined before Im Sol meddled?"
- "why was the murderer THAT interested in Im Sol?"

^These are questions I have asked myself while watching this drama.
But despite this, I feel like Lovely Runner ultimately delivers a satisfying conclusion, one where it didn't need to answer these questions. It was like this drama came full circle and made sense without answering them.

The finale episode ties together the various plot threads, providing emotional closure and left me with a sense of fulfillment.

-
p.s. a good quote for this drama would be: "I didn't know how much I missed you until I saw you." i was thinking about this quote when Sun-jae told Sol he remembered everything.

Still a 10 but some things could have been explored a bit more

I love this drama and the story. My rewatch value is 7.5 just because of the time travel. That suspense won’t hit the same the 2nd time around for me. But I definitely recommend watching the series if you haven’t already!

People are saying it’s a star falling in love with a regular person but that’s not true. ML has been in love with FL since the beginning. But the story showed that sometimes no matter how your try to change a situation, the person may remain the same (Leads being in love, the murderer being a murderer)

I what I think should have been explored more was:
1. Living with disabilities - FL was able to change her fate but a lot of disable people can’t and while it was an important message in the beginning for everyone not to give up hope no matter the circumstances; I would have loved to have seen the FL interact with someone who’s disable. Maybe hire them as one of her staff members on the short film project and show that even though this person is disable they still deserve work and treatment and not how she was discriminated against for being in a wheelchair at the beginning which caused her not to get the job initially. Even go as far as having ML who’s rich ensure the place where she worked or other places in the city had for example Elevators or Ramps for easy wheelchair access. It seems like a lot but disable people go through a lot and as FL would have had those struggles it would have been nice for them to touch on that a bit more in their own way, even if it be a few minutes of the last episode.

2. Granny’s knowledge - I don’t know about you guys but it was clear to me after a while that the grandma was aware that Sol had been time traveling with the watch. The end also made it seem as though she knew Sun Jae from a past life (I could be reaching). But nevertheless, the fact that she threw the watch into the river at the end means she knows it’s no longer needed. I would have liked her connection to the time traveling to be explained a bit more.

Overall, I still give this series a 10. The story was heart pulling and tear jerking. It showed the sacrifice of Sol who just wanted what was best for the person she loves even if that meant staying away in order to save his life. And it showed the other side pertaining to Sun Jae where it doesn’t matter what happens to him because why live if I don’t have love? A lot of complex decisions were made that always affect everyone around them. Great romance, thriller, time travel and goofy series.

STOP RATING THIS DRAMA SO HIGH???

Dude, I watched this from beginning to end and I’m flabbergasted at everyone’s audacity to rate this so high. This is a 6/10 at HIGHEST. There’s multiple plot holes, and a bloated storyline that wasn’t even inside the original content. The MC is absurdly dumb, it’s hard to cheer for her when she just gives me second hand embarrassment at every turn. It’s like self harm watching her react to situations. Don’t waste your time, don’t trust social media. It’s just eye candy. All actors are fine, the MC’s script I’m assuming was awful. It feels like people are getting paid to rate it so highly.

My most lovely drama

I wasn't interested in the drama and actors when I first saw the pre-aired promotion clips.
Somehow, I clicked episode 1 without much interest because I was too bored to finish the QOT drama and the other C-dramas. But surprisingly, I fell in love with both ML and FL and their friends, cinematography, make-up style, script writing, music/Osts and everything. This is my first time writing a drama review, although I have many movies or dramas I have been obsessed with before. But this one hits me differently.
I wish the drama actors could make another movie again and hope the ML and FL date each other.
