this will be your all time best k-drama

this drama is 9/10 for a drama but def 100/10 for re-watch value and the emotions it left behind. They were beyond cute . The cry the laugh, I remember seeing seon jea's love through his eyes . Greenest character of k-drama history. Still remembering the name of character, this ıs also so rare for me.
This drama has no boring episode, none . I will re watch this for sure probably every year:) the Male lead is my favorite, his facial expressions and mimics made this drama this good. So happy that he was chosen for this role. No one could have been played better..
Don't forget this is a "drama", there is no time travel in real life and they don't have to make it reasonable or prove it scientifically.. Just enjoy the story. Trust me you will live longer, stop hating everything, enjoy little happy moments and cute dramas, there isn't many of them...

the best kdrama of 2024

I really loved this kdrama, I cannot explain all the emotions and feelings that I experienced while watching it, the story was beautiful , the acting was amazing, the ost is something that I will always keep with me, I completely fall in love with Seon Jae and Sol, they chemistry was so pretty, like in all of the scenes they had together, it made me feel like I was third wheeling, I could watch this kdrama a thousand times over and over again and never get bored or tired, for me ‘lovely runner’ was something really special, I will miss them 🩷💙

No bad episodes, start to end

I love this drama so much. Lovely runner made me cherish every moments watching the drama, whether I am crying or laughing, or falling in love, every scene with Sun Jae and Sol was so wholesome. Their love for each other transcend time and space. The actors bring lots of energy and emotions that felt through the screen, I tear up every time Sun Jae hold Sol so tenderly, my heart just melts. Please watch this show, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Superb drama! The best K-drama I have seen in quite a while!

What a superb drama! Romance, thriller, suspense, comedy and drama all achieved in spades. Don’t MiSS it!I highly recommend watching it! The leads had such a fantastic chemistry between them…every scene was a delight to watch! I cannot say enough about this pair, a truly brilliant pairing! Would love to see them in another drama together soon. Their acting was on spot in this one and made us really love their characters.

The two main leads are carrying this show

some plots holes, too much tears from the main female lead, but their incredible alchemy and acting are making up for the mistakes this drama has.

I would have liked the main female to have more character development, aside the development about SunJae! it felt like she was living only for him, and it was a bit too much in my opinion.

I didn't feel the need to know more about the time travel (how? why?), but now I've finished the drama, I feel like there is too much questions and points that weren't explained (what we call plot holes)

but overall, the great points from this drama are definitely the acting and the alchemy beetwen the two mains! you laugh, you cry, you get angry at the scenario. and most of all, you're scared to finish it cause you're gonna miss them. And I think it's the sign you're watching a good drama.

Wow - Yea, not really

*I had to come edit my review because I have fully digested it and it's not a 9.5 lol*

Original: Indeed an amazing drama. I fell in love with Byun Wooseok and I'm now part of his fandom lol! I started watching this three days ago and already finished, and I'm so glad I gave it a shot (despite it being during finals season.... help!!).
The OST is unforgettable and I loved the whole concept of the drama. There are a few reasons why I didn't give it 10 stars though:
1) There were some holes in the story that made me uncomfortable at times. I don't want to include spoilers in this review so I won't go into detail but I think that all time-travel stories are bound to have some "unexplained" events, and it's okay because it's worth it! The story was fun even though it has some loose ends.
2) I think the first 5 episodes are the best of the whole show. I loved the beginning of this story and I wish we had spent more time there. I don't want to be preachy or politically right about this, but I wish we had had more time with original timeline Sol and Sunjae. I think it was a shame that they took the.... characteristics... of both characters in the first episode. I understand why (related to time-traveling consequences) but still; it's like they were used just to add drama.
3) I love the FL and I understand why she was affected by all that happened in the show, but having her cry in every episode is a bit much. And, in my opinion, she doesn't express mature happiness or love as well as she does innocent/childish happiness and love. There were parts where I was like "You don't seem all that happy??" Hahaha but she is a good actress, don't get me wrong.

I loved the chemistry between all the characters! It is an unforgettable drama, that's for sure.



Now: The things I liked about this drama were overshadowed by not so great things. The female lead is just annoying and empty. The ML also only exists for the FL and easily gives up his own aspirations, although less annoying because he cries less. My love for BWS and for golden retriever characters clearly blinded me – I can't help but love Sunjae despite the flaws in the way the character was written and BWS is a big reason for that because he's SO DAMN TALENTED! He was born to play that character and the actor literally saved the character for me.
I still really enjoy the first 5 episodes because I was expecting the show to develop the characters and the plot from there but it never did. It was just the same over and over again, to the point where the emotional scenes didn't hit anymore. I just wish they had taken the first episode and written a story about characters who have a life outside of each other, who have relationships that they value outside of their partner, who follow their dreams (lmao who even have dreams and goals), who make plans before rewinding time so that they can idk ACTUALLY SOLVE SOMETHING????... Having a ML who has loved the FL before they even "met" made it sooo boring once we find out (but I guess that's personal preference). I liked the first episodes because we didnt know that yet and it felt like we were going to join them on a journey; but no, they already liked each other so what's the point? I love the retro vibes like in the Reply series and 2521 but in those shows we can slowly get to know the characters and understand what is moving them in the plot but not in LR. I understand that it's a romance but it should have been more developed.
The music is GREAT and the vibes are ICONIC so I'm actually upset they wasted such a cool idea and turned it into this – "this" being a great drama that had the potential to become my favorite drama of all time but fell short because the FL cries in every scene and the plot is built around a relationship at the expense of logic sometimes. UGH it makes me want to rewrite the whole thing myself because the wasted potential is haunting me. I was clearly blinded when I first reviewed the show, although deep down I knew it hadn't been that great so I had to come and write this so that I can move on with my life in peace.

The fangirl inside me is screaming right now

I love that shows are bringing back fangirls what they want. As a former Wattpad writer of One Direction Fanfics, I can say I'm totally pleased with this drama. It has everything, cuteness, laugh out loud moments, the handsome 2m tall cute boyfriend. It's like someone made the wish I had when I was 13 years old come true.

If you used to (or still) fangirl like crazy over boybands, actors, or anything. Go ahead, this is your show. Don't expect anything else.

Enjoy!

Very fun to watch. Doesn’t bore you even for a minute, so many unexpected plot, but the tall ML and short FL looks cute together. Specially the ML, he looks so cute and manly at the same time, when he comes in the screen, it’s like he ate the bread and left no crumb, just perfect. The FL is very funny and energetic. She has the playful vibe which is just perfect for the role, not annoying at all.

Overall it’s a package of humour, romance, drama. Just loving it.

My On Repeat Watching KDrama

I know it might be boring and so typical it drama, but somehow we need this kinda drama where Kdramas out there getting more intense and somewhat sometimes out of the box!

But for sureeee this drama sooo FUN! I really enjoyed watching this drama and been rewatching this drama like multiple times in the nearest gap!

ImSol and SeonJae really love and care each other with their own way, but their communication getting better and growing day-by-day. I just love how they get mature from 19yo to 34yo. So far this one of some KDrama that I keep rewatching until I'm gonna feel bored.

If you love high school to early adult romcom drama with the hint of time travel and a little thriller, GO WATCH this drama!

A Masterpiece

This drama series is a masterpiece.
NO CHEESY WORDS can describe this kind of kdrama. This is one of the best series I was watched since 2006. I'm glad that all actors are giving their best. They compliment each other's and they build a harmonious environment. I love Kim Hye Yoon
Wishing you all the best same with BWS. They have the best and undeniable chemistry.
