Beautiful

This drama was fantastic from beginning to end. It's a beautiful story, directed impeccably, and all of the acting is superb. It made me laugh, it made me cry, and sometimes it made md do both at once. Truly a love story, not just between the main couple, but also the love between friends. I'm writing this review immediately after finishing, and I'm still feeling emotional about it.

One funny thing worth mentioning - Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are mentioned in the show - and this was the most chemistry on screen I have seen between romantic leads since watching Crash Landing on You.

NOSTALGIC & PERFECT??

Recently i watched this drama again on its 2nd year anniversary and its just sooooo good💜
This gave me nostalgic vibes, not every drama is enjoyable watching it a second time but it was like i was watching it for the first time🥹
Romance,comedy,visuals,OSTs,time travelling etc everything is just so on point. Nowadays not many kdramas are like that😢
Love Kim hyeyoon and Byeon woosoek acting their couple is perfect in every ways i can’t wait for their future projects.


I will watch Perfect Crown soon just so excited💃

It was perfect.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. This show was so good. The story was consistent and made sense. The acting was great and the chemistry was insane. I'll miss them so much. The music was catching and fit the the show very well. The heart of the the show is the relationship between the leads and I appreciate how much they focused on and not on random sideplots. Although I really the sideplots were decent and pretty funny at times.

If you're thinking about watching this show don't think about just do it.

My favorite Kdrama of 2024 and maybe ever

So delightful! Great mix of romance, comedy, angst. I had all the emotions watching and had such a hard time waiting for new episodes every week. I actually watched previous episodes every week to get me through the painful waiting! The FL is wonderful - even things I may have found cringe in other dramas - she pulls off with a surplus of charm and talent. The ML pulls off his best performance to-date and I was very impressed with his comedic timing and eye acting. The chemistry between the leads is no joke - best I've seen. I was giggling and crying every episode. It is very rare for me to love a kdrama the whole way through but it finally happened with this one! Missing it a lot now.

sonagi is playing quietly in my head

overall this drama is so good that there's no boring episode it will make you binge watch this the whole day. This is one of the best romcom drama I've ever seen there's no corny jokes at all. This will give you all the feels heartbreak, nostalgia, frustrations, excitement, euphoric happiness and etc. The romantic scenes are not cringy at all it's so natural chemistry is chef's kiss they're like a match made in heaven. Even the OSTs are perfect you can listen to them nonstop. Their choice for the member of Eclipse band is perfect too. Their visuals and talent as a band is really giving. Byeon Woo Seok as Ryu Sun Jae is the probably the best choice the producers made. The production for this drama was delayed for three years due to actors declining the male lead role but I can say that it's for the best. They found the perfect embodiment of Ryun Sun Jae in Byeon Woo Seok. It's been a really long since the last time I got emotionally invested in a Kdrama. Lovely Runner will always have a soft spot in my heart.

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.

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.

This review may contain spoilers

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.
