Esperanza y amor..
Solo quiero decir que en lo que va del año este es el mejor drama que vi.Simplemente maravilloso.
Voy a extrañar mucho a Sunjae y Sol.
Voy a extrañar los lunes y martes de lovely runner.
Empezando por la gran actuación de mi princesa hermosa Hye Yoon y del guapisimo Woo Seok!
La música 10/10 (seguiré llorando cada vez que escuche Sonaki)
Me encanta el gran mensaje que nos deja: esperanza y amor verdadero, alguien que busque tu felicidad sin importar nada.
Solo 2 cositas que no me encantaron tanto:
1. Los personajes secundarios: lamentablemente me hubiera encantado decir que me gustaron todos, pero no fue así, me parecieron algunas escenas hasta molestas, lo digo por los personajes del papá de Sunjae y el hermano de Sol y la amiga. Algunas de esas escenas no dan ni gracia, no vienen al caso pero bueno.
Pero no todo es malo, puedo decir todo lo contrario de TaeSung y Baek In hyuk, excelentes personajes secundarios, me encantó que no hicieran un triangulo amoroso innecesario con TaeSung.
2. El psicopata: alargaron demasiado la trama . Me gustó el cierre que le dieron, pero lo hubieran hecho unos 2 episodios antes.
Pero esto no afecta lo mucho que me encantó el drama.
En fin, reí, lloré, grite, me estresé, volví a llorar y fui muy feliz con este drama.
∞/10

Kdrama Saviour
unfortunately most of this year's kdramas have been pretty disappointing but this drama made my hopes up, it made me believe in kdramas again, I was legit hooked on the screen in every episode and it was so frustrating waiting for the new episodes..
.

My overall review is stop second guessing yourself and watch this drama it is AMAZING and emotion packed.
All the cast did an amazing job with this drama especially our male leads and in my opinion both the main leads are very underrated actors they have so much potential and I hope this drama sheds light on them.
overall definitely watch this one and thank me later

well done story, could have been better!
Let me preface by saying I did enjoy this. I think the time travel bit was interesting, more than the other one we had earlier this year (forgot the name). But there are many parts I did not understand and don't wish to bother researching.I think the acting was on-point. All the actors did super good in that department.
What I think could have been better is having the writer not rely on the cliche points that are ever so present in every single kdrama. Those little things that drive me mad. For example, the male lead not waking up the female lead when she is sleeping in the bus because idk why...she getting almost kidnapped as a result (why wouldn't you wake her up or keep a serious eye out for her when you can see it's bloody dark outside and you're both far away from home????), the female lead running bang in the middle of the road while the kidnapper is chasing her. These little things are just plain lazy writing. Doing away with such stupid moments would have elevated my viewing experience.
let's come back to the good parts. And not trying to be contrarian but the writer did a good job overall making the time travel plot interesting. I really liked the little twists in their cute love story. It was enjoyable to see him be so in love with her. It was not so enjoyable to see her torture him (okay, that isn't fair, she wasn't doing that deliberately). I loved the 10CM Spring Snow!! The best part of this drama was the little moments of cute romance between the leads and this OST really worked in their favour and made it so much better.
All in all, it's the best tropey-over-the-top-cliche Korean drama I've watched in a minute.
While you are here, I'd urge you to watch The Atypical Family on Netflix. If you want something different, not so cliche, this one's for you!!

It will stick for a long time
I remember when Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon were giving small previews about this project and saying that we all were going to cherish it as they were doing it with lots of care. After we lost our most beloved villain, we were hoping this project could see light. So, the 16 episodes have gone by and we were never dissapointed. We were sad a couple of times but in the end we endured and were able to enjoy a great combination of a love story, family value, friends, suspense, laughs and all done in a correct way.The characters are all well developed and performed, the story is all in all complete and doesn't leave room for many speculations. The charming scenes were on time and the soundtrack is just amazing. I'm left wanting more of Eclipse and the leading singer "Sun Jae".
This one goes to the top not only for 2024, it is above the few dramas I rate 10.

Mind you, the only Kdrama that i watched 2024
First of all, i just want to said kudos to all the actors and actress of this show.The acting is such a top notch , easy to watched and comfortable to my eyes (><) especially the FL and ML.
They portrays the characters like so good especially hye-yoon nimmmm, shes such a good actor. I swear you, she’s can pull and twist the character itself like very smooth and woo seok also good, portrays sunjae characters and it left a deep impression until now. I think sunjae will remain a as “good friends” for him for a while.
Help: everyone still on the restaurant… T-T (me too)
Maybe the annoying part is they keep repeating the same scene again and again and i usually skip that but nothing majors.
This drama gives you a roller coaster emotions.
Sweet, angst, sad, butterflies.
And i love this one dialogue when the scene with the haelmoni :
“Memories don’t disappear.
Everything you see, hear, and feel..
Where do you think those memories go?
They seep into your soul.”
Not a perfect drama, but i would describe this drama as a “memory”. Theres phase when you look at the drama, you will remember the moment?, the feels while watching this and yes 👏🏻 the ost is everything.

wholesome and heartwarming
this was a cute comforting watch despite the FMC making me cringe and the MMC annoying me at times. it took me time to get into but by episode 6, i was desperate to kill the curiosity of what happens in the drama.the arbitrary murder subplot was so confusing too. kim yoon hye and byun wooseok had great chemistry and the best fitness were really funny too. i feel like inhyuk and taesung made the show significantly more bearable and hilarious to watch to the extent where i was trying to hold my laughter while i was watching it on the train.

I just came to say : it's been a while since drama made me laugh that much.
You know laugh out loud litteraly it was so hard to keep laughing quietly (i watched it during the night). I didn't feel the episodes, i watched it in one go. It made me cry then laugh or cry and laugh at the same time. I loved both MCs, i already know the actress, she's really talented but it's my first drama with the actor as a ML and he's fantastic in this kind of role.Whatever just watch it.

LOVELY RUNNER IS A TOP TIER DRAMA. PERIODT.
Okay, so I've finally finished watching this drama, and for me, it's 10/10. I don't know, because from the first episode it got me hooked because of the fangirl and idol trope, but as time goes by, I suddenly think that this drama is not just for fangirls out there but it's for everyone who has someone they love or who is important to them. As you can see, Sol is one of my favorite characters because I can relate to her, who's willing to sacrifice herself and change the past so that she can save her loved ones from all the accidents that have happened and so they can have a happy life in the present. I think all of us want to go back in the past to change everything and to correct everything. I'm reading all of the reviews here, and I guess some of you didn't get the whole story because you stopped watching at episode 3? I can promise you to continue watching it until the end because trust me, it's more than a romcom drama. You can learn a lesson from it, especially Halmeoni! Just give this drama a chance, and you will get why this drama was so hyped last year. :))) AND MIND YOU, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WATCHED KDRAMA. The last time I watched Kdrama was way back in 2023 during Romantic Doctor Season 3... I just came back because of Lovely Runner, and I didn't regret watching it. :)))ONE MORE THING: THE OST. I REALLY LOVE THE OST IN THIS DRAMA. IT'S MY GO-TO SONG NOW, ESPECIALLY THE 5 SONGS OF ECLIPSE.

Awesome plot, but FL’s acting is a bit much.
The story is seriously awesome, with a plot that keeps you hooked and subplots that add depth. It’s the kind of stuff that really grabs your attention. But let’s talk about the FL – her acting is just too over the top. Actually, she’s always like that in most series she’s in, including this one. In my opinion, she shines the most when she plays the villain role.Now, about the FL’s character... It felt a bit off in the first couple of episodes. Like, the writer couldn’t quite figure out what to do with her. She came off more like a crazed fan club of the ML with her obsession that drives her to do quite a few embarrassing things. I almost gave up on the show at the start because of this sasaeng-borderline behavior of the FL, but it got better after that.
And I gotta mention about the ridiculous details in the first half. For example, when the house gets on fire, the FL's brother help a girl out of the house by going up to the roof of the building without extinguishing the fire. Ok, not only that he doesn't stop the fire, but when escaping the fire, who would go upstairs to trap themselves when it's possible to go downstairs out of the building?? And there's this scene where the FL and ML see a rainbow that appears on the same side as the sun – that totally goes against science. It’s like the production team has no basic knowledge and common sense.
But despite all that, the plot is solid. The ML is very charming. I ended up enjoying the series a lot.

Laughter, tears... and a bit of anger.
I started this drama after a couple of months without watching any dramas, and it has basically been a breath of fresh air in my life. I must say it's perhaps a bit nostalgic, I suppose because it's been a while since I've seen something with such a beautiful and adorable romance.But I can't deny that it's been a rollercoaster of emotions, both in a good and a bad sense. I've laughed and cried in the same episode, and I think they've balanced the sad and comedic scenes very well, placing them at just the right and necessary moments. However, I've also felt quite angry, especially at the ending of episodes 13 and 14. I was very upset because of this episode; I think the direction the story took was unnecessary, and I know I'm not the only one who was upset with how they developed this part of the story.
(SPOILERS HERE)
Firstly, SungJae didn't have to die, I mean, he wouldn't have fallen off the cliff if Sol or the police had run towards him, but for some reason Sol stayed still, and the police gave more importance to the killer than to the person who was about to die. Perhaps he could have been saved at the hospital, but no. Second, I really liked the main character, but at many points in the story, I felt she was very selfish, not thinking about what he wanted but only about what she wanted, especially at the moment when she goes back to the past and definitively decides to change the fact that he met her in the future. She thinks it's for the best, but it's not, and he gets a little upset with her, and rightly so; he didn't want to forget about her, no matter what.
Finally, I really enjoyed the final episode, starting from the beginning with the pesky killer and giving us a dose of sweet, beautiful love with a touch of comedy, which is what we needed to finish this wonderful drama.
Some were expecting something softer, full of love and comedy, so they were surprised by the serial killer twist. In my case, I was pleasantly surprised; it's not something that displeases me, and as I've already said, I think they more or less managed to balance the moments.
It's been an incredible journey, so I would definitely recommend it, even if people get mad at me when they reach a certain episode, lol.

SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE AND HEARTFLUTTERING i have been really into it!
A cringeworthy ROMCOM DRAMA FANTASY I'ver ever watch this year, eventho the plot too formulic or not something new about Top Idol Ryu Sunjae who died early, And Im Sol, his fan, ends up doing timeslip to when they were in high school n tries to protect him. About people who against the ill-fate between them.I think if 'yall want something well serve romance-trope, and well-serve romantic narrative yall gonna like it. i told u this is fantasy romcom ofc too cliches. but something i can't deny to keep watch its how the executed very well on the beginning episode to showing us OH THIS IS HOW WE GONNA CONVEY YALL SIMPLY TOO SEATED AND BACK AGAIN FOR HEART FLUTTERING ROMANCE.
I LOVE IT when the writer Lee-Sieun described SECOND MALE LEAD KINDA VIBE ON THE MAIN MALE LEAD! there was surely another second male lead in this drama. BUT they chose to make it the story only for the main male lead and female lead ONLY! ITS LIKE IMSOL AND SUNJAE WAS SOULMATE AND NO ONE CAN break them apart.
I LOVE IT when all of the point of view every character shows really well..
(-) but, its kinda rushed on the half into ending episode things its so unhinged...small details that i kinda really dont like it.. something missed.. they can actually add up some another narration to consistenly build the plot from EPISODE 1... but that small details not really THAT BIG PROBLEM...PROBABLY OKAY..
THE SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE AND THE POWER OF CHEMISTRY BETWEEN KIM HYEYOON AND BYUN WOOSEOK. OH GIRL! u can't deny it! HAVE FUN AND WATCH IT!
