A rollercoaster of emotions?
This drama, first started out quite interesting to watch but first episodes made me cry like a whole lot, It started off quite tragic and started to melt my heart. After a few episodes, I got bored of it as in the FL. No hate towards her just not really a fan of how she portrayed her character when she was a teen(immature). Other than that, I started this drama for the ML watched his drama SGNS and CG this one he keeps dying but will survive in the end and have a happy ending which is what I’m hoping anyways! But overall, this drama made me quite emotional and I didn’t even get this emotional when watching TW but this drama it cute, annoyed me a bit but I watched it ongoing so future viewers who binge watch this prob won’t feel annoyed like me lol. I know so many people who dropped this drama after like 5 episodes, but I still carried on for BWS and I’m glad I did because it just got better every episode. The stalker is what pissed me off to the brim seriously so many kdramas just have to have a flipping stalker in the way. But the stalker isn’t as scary as the one in MD lol that was over the top. I would say the ratings are quite high for this drama tho I mean it’s not THAT good too the point I’d watch it again like no, made me cry too much and the FL annoyed me like hell. Idk maybe the ratings are like high cause of BWS. But I mean it’s well deserved for the acting of both main leads and the support roles (Im sol’s bro and bff) the crew did a good job. Really loved the grandma too. Not too bad of a drama just wouldn’t rate it that high I mean overall I would give it idk a 9 for me Ik it’s like not much of a difference from 9.1, but it’s not that good of a drama, I mean if your in the mood to absolutely cry your eyes out and be pissed at the writer’s decision of leaving Tae-song’s unrequited love untouched then yeah perfect drama for you! I also enjoyed the OST too BWS outdid himself in this drama by debuting his first ever songs!!Although I didn’t like the FL character as a teen I would say I enjoyed her more as a mature adult she went through a lot and even lost her love in the process to protect him which I found very heart touching. After watching 15 episodes, I’m ready to finish this drama once and for all without missing it but I guess I’ll miss Im sol and sun jae. Rooting for them in the season finale!💜Was this review helpful to you?
Reminds me of the quality older dramas without the long drawn out pacing and silly love triangle for triangle sake.

Fun and bubbly drama with some darker parts
I really enjoyed watching this drama.I started it a bit late (so that I didn't have to wait every week for new episodes) but enjoyed it thoroughly.
It was truly fun and interesting with surprising parts, interesting characters, and good chemistry.
What I loved:
I felt like the whole time-travel bit was quite nicely done (it made me think of Twinkling Watermelon). I always enjoy the Idol-fan trope, so it was very satisfying.
The music was exceptional, and I got really into it (I will definitely add some of the songs to my playlist).
The cast was so good; all the actors did well and had definitive value. They made the drama truly endearing.
I felt like the darker side of the drama was there but not too much and we got to have nice episodes too.
I liked that SunJae waited for the right time to propose and didn't just do what he wanted. The ring appearing was truly magical and sweet.
What I liked a bit less:
I found it disappointing that their first kiss happened when Sol was drunk, and that SunJae knew about it but still confessed and kissed her. I don't get why he was surprised that she didn't have any memories of it afterward.
I feel like the drunk kisses really have to go; they are way too common in K-dramas.
Some technical time-travel parts didn't fully make sense to me, but it's okay.
We still don't really know why the bad guy is a bad guy except that he is a bad guy...
I don't get why SunJae said that he didn't want her to erase his memories again... like, it was to save his life, not a fun little trip for Sol, so... yeah.
Anyhow, I loved this drama. The ending was so fluffy and satisfying; the main leads were cute and fun. I definitely recommend it!

uma boa história
eu amo essa história, é maravilhosa!! porém o drama pesou um pouco no suspense. e ficou com algo sem explicação!achei que o casal foi pouco explorado. com todo aquele vai e volta.
a história original é engraçada, as vezes um pouco cansativa rs' mas muito gostosa de se ler.
certas partes do drama ficou bem cansativo, essa coisa do taxista... que no fim nem mesmo teve explicação. se tivesse mais 1 episódio explorando mais o romance do casal seria um 9.
achei a ost maravilhosa! o cenário também! tudo lindo.

A K-drama that reminds me of "the good old days".
Reviews are obviously subjective, so please keep that in mind!To get it out of the way: If I could I would give this an 11/10!
Now on the the review - when I say this drama reminds me of "the good old days" I mean that it brings back the feeling I had when I first started watching K-dramas. Everything felt new and exciting, from storytelling, to directing, to acting - it was just pure happiness to explore this new genre. And while there are still shows that get me excited, I've been pretty disappointed with romance and comedy dramas in the last few years (with a few exceptions).
Enter "Lovely Runner", a comedy/romance drama with an element of fantasy/sci-fi that swept me off my feet and carried me all the way to K-drama heaven. I don't remember the last time a K-drama had me this hyped for the next episode and waiting a whole week for the next one is literal torture. But at the same time I'm kinda happy I can't binge it, because I get to enjoy it that much longer.
I initally started this drama because I loved Byeon Woo-seok in Strong Girl Nam-soon and when I read he would be the male lead, I just had to watch Lovely Runner, even though I didn't have any expectations. However, by the end of the first episode I had gone from sad to happy to devastated to giggling and kicking my feet in the air, and with the twist at the end of episode 2 I knew this was gonna be one of my all-time favourite dramas.
The chemistry between Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon is "chef's kiss" (I definitely recommend watching the behind the scenes and their promotional interviews) and the rest of the cast is great too, even the second male lead is really lovable. The story does include more serious topics that might be difficult for some people but overall it's a refreshing romantic comedy with some unexpected twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
So if you have thought about watching it but aren't sure, I would strongly recommend you do yourself a favor and give it a try ;)

Thrilled to the Bone !!!
This is my first review and i am writing based on my personal opinion and the super enjoyment i went through while watching the film Only 2 episodes, yet the series promises a good, funny, highly enjoyable watch. BWS can act and is truly entertaining. I was so thrilled in his scenes as a singer and a swimmer. He can literally and figuratively sang and swam into one's heart. Scenes back to high school days were so hilarious and i super enjoyed them. It also provides for a good trip down HS memory lane. The FL is a good actress. She provided half of the moving as well as funny scenes. Both acting are on point. I already rewatched the first 2 episodes while waiting for the next to come. I just hope that BWS will not die in this series. His horrible death in nam soon was heartbreaking and kept me sleepless and restless over a few nights. Hoping to see more heart pounding moments in the next episodes.Was this review helpful to you?

Rom- com that will tug your heartstrings
Lovely Runner is a captivating K-drama where the characters experience deep and enduring love across different timelines. The title reflects the inevitable connection and love between the main characters as they run towards each other in every timeline. The show leaves a lasting impression on the audience with its radiant and unforgettable essence, making it a rare gem in the world of K-dramas.Was this review helpful to you?

Bubbly drama for a kdrama beginner
If you are just starting on kdramas then you might like it, it might also be your top drama but if you are someone who has been watching dramas for years then this is just another romcom. Nothing else,nothing special about this. If you like watching dramas with good looking male lead then go ahead and watch it for sure. Byeon woo seok is such an eye candy to look at. He hit his mark so late, i find him so attractive and he is also a good actor. I really look forward to his upcoming dramas!I will complete this drama as i am watching this when it is airing, if you ask me if i will binge watch it…hmm I probably will not.
