Lovely Runner

SUNJAE YAAAA

Seriously, every second I watched this drama made me cure my depression, Im Sol and Sunjae's personality and seeing how one is more cheerful and outgoing while the other is more closed... THIS CONTRAST IS WONDERFUL AND I LOVE HOW IT WAS IMPLEMENTED.
I must mention some flaws in the drama, especially regarding the power of freezing time and how it was poorly used!! Im Sol could have escaped from that killer so much more easily, I don't get WHY SHE REMAIN SILENT!!😭 Also, the time travel issue was a bit confusing from my point of view, but the other factors incredibly raised my average for this drama.
A light, cute drama with a touching romance was definitely Lovely Runner for me!!🥺 So I end up giving 10/10 👅.

Special

Lives up to the hype. I'm glad they got their happy ending, watching it was really an adventure because there's so much that happened in those 16 episodes. I loved Like a Dream by Minnie - really made the story feel more heartbreaking ofcourse alongside Sudden Shower. Also, both acted their hearts out. The story was good but it was made even more special because of their chemistry. I keep thinking they really suit each other so well whilst watching this and also the fact that they look SO alike.
I don't think I've seen a drama couple look more alike than they do???

So yeah if you're wondering whether to watch it, you should give it a try. Also, adult Im Sol looked so stunning! I loved her hairstyles and outfits so much, I do't know I couldn't help but take notice of that.

I'm not one into rewatching anymore hence the rewatch rating but this was GOOD.

Like, excuse me, but is there any point in saying anything about it? One of my favorite actresses, my 4 favsactors and bias in one kdrama? Guys I think so that it's probably not worth it. As soon as they announced that I was looking forward to some kind of kdrama coming out like a little child and was counting down the days until her release. As soon as
it worked, I watched the first two episodes about 5 times I feel like I know what's going to happen every minute and couldn't wait for the rest. I cried
like a little kid (especially in the last two episodes
but otherwise I've been wondering since the first episode what it's like beautiful XD), she laughed until I couldn't stop laughing breathe and as I say with actors who are great so I'm telling you, this cast was so damn good. real, everyone's character fit so well that it They just WERE THEM. This kdrama deserves it much much greater response, because for me it's "one of the most beautiful series I've ever seen" I actually had the feeling for a moment that there I stand with the main character and experience it all with I cursed her once for her decision and reaction in one situation but in another I of course there was support xd. In life I will protect you next to you from now on. I screamed sm in episode 15, seriously, this is one of the most beautiful series and I hope everyone doesn't forget it. And Im Sol's grandma (Mal Ja if I remember correctly) said something amazing "even if the brain doesn't remember memories, they are hidden in the soul. Where else would they go?" Or everyone's beloved little brother Im Sol (I think it was Geum xd) "when you get something you always have to lose something, happiness always costs something". And of course we can't forget the beautiful ost that I listen to day and night THANK YOU. Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this series, who even came up with something like this because it's really wonderful and I'm extremely grateful to them. They did a great job!

Nostalgia!

One of things that worked and brought the drama alot of attention is the timing and nostalgia when the drama was airing it was very addictive. Secondly Both Hye Yoon and Woo Seok did a amazing job, making the characters uniquely their own, I think the criticism made should be attributed not to the actors but to the direction and script, when reading excerpt of script, I realised It said Sol was wide eyed, which was how Sol mostly reacted to Sunjae's affection, they fell victim to poor writing. One thing people need to realise is that actors are portraying characters as written in the script. I agree that the story could have been better, a lost opportunity I guess, It started well but sadly feel victim to the 16 episode curse. I would have loved it more if Sol's disability was explored more. But all in all its a great watch and I guess it's the first time I have watched a drama without skipping, I loved the focus was on Sol and Sunjae as this was a romantic drama, and it didn't have complicated side plots or focused on side characters more than the leads.

Best drama of 2024!!!!

As you can see other peoples review on this drama i don't think this is DISAPPOINTMENT,OVERHYPED or anything?
For me this is very cute and best drama of 2024!!! This was my second time i was watching a time travelling drama and i really enjoy time travelling dramas like twinkling watermelon was my first time travelling drama i was very excited this time also and it turn out wayyy to good than i expected!!


ACTING/CASTING: The acting of cast was very good and accurate. The cast was very good like main lead as woo seok was very perfect for type of sunjae character he was prefect and female lead as kim hyeon was also prefect. The other actors acting was also very goooddd!!!!

OST: I don't notice OSTs very much but the OST was very gooodd like at point!!

STORYLINE: Storyline was likeee oh my goddd it was very GOOODDDDDDD!! In a type of time travelling drama this storyline is veryyy gooddd but i cuted 1 mark for story i'll tell you why in the end.

There is a idol who is stressed and suffering from depression but looked fine infront of his fans but one day he was very stressed and then he sucide.

Then there is this girl who is his big fan she consider him as her husband but then when she heard he sucided and she is on wheelchair i forget to mention this and he died on 1 january 12:00 she was crying and somehow she is travelled to 2021. She is in his school trying her best to get along with him and trying her best to save him from dying.

Now I will tell you why 1 cuted mark. I cuted it because in some scenes are too bland and simple that i thought they turn out to be above than my expectations but they didn't. But it's fine the whole drama was very gooodddddd as i explained earlier. It is a must try if you are someone who is in time travelling genre. It is amazing trust meee😭🫶🏻

what is a plot

this drama was not extraordinary by any means. there was so much missing in the plot nor there was any reasoning behind anything that was happening yet i found myself drawn to the amazing chemistry of the main leads. if the cast wasn't doing a good job, i might've dozed off and skipped this.

so why is my rating 8? i'm guilty and say that this drama ignited the hopeless romantic in me. that lingering hope of fate bringing you close to the person meant for you type of deal. i was squealing, smiling and laughing throughout this drama. there were sweet moments, comical situations and just scenes that were clearly filler scenes but I still found it enjoyable because i found this drama to be something like a compilation of everything at once. while some dramas that tries hard to bring in every single genre possible, somehow, lovely runner worked well for me with its comedy, thriller, and romance. kim tae sung, in hyeok and sun jae trio and sun jae x tae sung duo; such a fun combination of characters.

even though i'm fond of this drama, i can't deny how flawed it is. there was little to no explanation for its time travel, the abrupt jumping back and forth, flashbacks and the villain feels likes an annoying hindrance to the story instead of an important feature to the plot. heck, what even was the plot?

despite the incoherence of the holes in the story, i would fall in love with this drama again just like sun jae and im sol.

Great if you don't have high expectations

The premise of this drama is pretty good. It really draws you in, but toward the end the time traveling story starts to get convoluted and straight up nonsensical. How come can Sol still be friends with Taesung in the future she doesn't meet Sunjae, when her following Sunjae around is what starts her friendship with him? There are other plotholes like this scattared through the story, I think the overuse of the time travel really harmed the story a bit. If the show ended earlier, it would've been better, in my opinion.

Also, I have to say, Sol was a bit annoying with her obssession with Sunjae at the start. I undertand the importance he has on her life, but she just barkes any sort of boundary of a normal fan. She's not even close to him, but she keeps acting extremely suspicious and like a total creep and just hopes for the best. She has no actual plan to help him and the only reason it goes right is because they are leads is a romance story, cause otherwise this is very problematic as she's literally a stalker and she'd probably get herself killed or arrasted in a few days. Besides, Sunjae doesn't have much depth. Despite having to give up on his dream and struggling with depression, we don't really dive into how he feels about these things or how they truelly affect him. Also, Sol and Sunjae's obssession with sacrificing themselves for the other doesn't fell warranted. Like, you barely know each other, please let's calm down a bit. I guess these types of over the top, melodramatic plots only really work in a more high fantasy or historical setting, not in this type of slice of life drama (despite having sci-fi elements).

Despite all of this, I have to say it gets better with time. If you can suspend your disbelief, Sol and Sunjae really become a cute couple and they really grow on you as the plot progresses. They have a lot of chemistry and Sunjae is peak loser behaviour (in a good way). They carry this drama on their back. Furthermore, the plot with the granny is touching, but a bit weird? Her Alzheimer is portrayed almost like a magical thing, but it's more comical than anything else. Taesung has a nice evolution throughout the drama, too.

If you're looking for a strong plot with deep characters, this is not for you. But if you can get past the more problematic aspects of this drama, you can find a very sweet and endearing story, with a lot of tension and drama, so if that's your thing, definitely go for it. It isn't anything new but it's very entertaining in this regard.

Run don't walk

What if there was someone in this world who would fall in love with you at every stage of life and under every circumstance? What if he was willing to die for you as long as he could spend one extra moment with you? The hopeless romantic in me leaps for joy!

Lovely Runner may not have the most original storyline but it is a well made drama that will keep you fully engaged. It has the perfect blend of romance, comedy and thrills. The best part of it was the pacing. As soon as you felt that the story was dragging, the story would take a sudden turn. At no point was I ever bored. I also want to highlight the comedy. In almost every episode there is at one scene where you'll burst out laughing. Very few dramas can do comedy without it being over the top after some time.

As far as acting goes, every does a good job. I've seen Byeon Woo Seok, in several dramas but this is the first time he has truly shined. I wish more success in future. Kim Hye Yoon also does a good job but I feel the character is not much different from Extraordinarily You. supporting roles were fine but special mention goes to Lee Seung Hyub and Kim Won Hae. I really liked their roles.

The music was pleasant. If I Eclipse was a real k-pop band, I would likely have been a fan. The music was a treat to watch.

Although the twists and turns would be less impactful, I really think it will be a good rewatch.

To sum it up, don't hesitate. Just watch the drama, there is a high chance that you'll end up loving it just as much as as I did.
