Lovely Runner

A perfect drama to rewatch every once in a while because it gives you the FEELS ?

One thing about me is that I will always give a time travel series a go and this didn't disappoint. Maybe it's the high school sweethearts, nostalgia, the going back and forth in time, the aesthetics.... Idk .. but this worked so well. Im sol and sun jae invented soulmateness.

We're there plot holes and some things were brushed over or never explained, were there scenes that pissed me off and could have been done better to make the drama a 10/10...... YES but it's over now and I can't bring myself to get into it all and complain because I have a silly little smile on my face. I loved watching the story unfold and seeing how the main character would find their way back to each other.

One thing I LOVED and I don't think it gets enough appreciation is the relationship between sun jae and his dad. If I remember correctly sun jaes mother was only mentioned briefly once by sun jaes dad in passing and never again which shows how deeply sun jars father cares for sun jae. He never made sun jae feel the absence of his mother and filled the role of a parent so well and we hardly get a role of a single father like this. it made me teary up so much watching him cry over sun jae.



SPOILERS
(Okay I need to get it off my chest sue me ....
Things I probs missed or needed more explanation..
1) I swear there was more to the grandma ... The scene in the last ep ... The "missed him" comment, this could have been explored and would have bought more dept to the drama.
2) there was a scene idk between ep 12 to ep 14 where sol is in the country side and the killer found out she was there and went there ..., the scene of sol calling her mam and the killer being in the mam's shop, it was dark outside and when the killer left he was walking the way the scene transitioned made it seem like he was time traveling too. If this was also explored it would have made it even more entertaining.
3) the ending of the killer just dying and sun jae fainting on the road . ???? Whyyyyyyyy it was so anti climactic I was like..??? That's it???? Lmaoo come one the build up and that was all we got.
4) I needed more time with taesung. The way he was acting and him being friends with sol all these years I which how in the final timeline, how that worked out.
Anyways bye

Travel back in time to re-discover unspoken confessions

Delving into the first two eps, I can say that it lived up to my expectations or even exceeded it. Excuse me, the moment when sunjae revealed that he had that kind of feeling at first sight with im sol, I was screaming my heart out! So many coincidences. I can already see that taesung will have deeper feelings with im sol. Girl, the chemistry is already there! The visuals are giving and the osts just gives more into the vibe, I can already see myself adding this into one of my favorites if the upcoming eps will not add unnecessary plot. I'm telling you that you'll love this if you like extraordinary you. You don't know how I loved that drama and it feels like I'm back to highschool. It feels more special to me that hyeyoon is the lead, you know she won't disaappoint. Its been so long since hyeyoon has starred in an idol drama and its wooseok's first lead role in a series. Looking forward to the upcoming eps and hoping it won't have a sad ending!

I want to kidnap sunjae and run too!!!!!!

it is different from the webtoon version but more better and definitely worth watching !!
the group name is eclipse and they released this on the day of solar eclipse, what a coincidence it’s unbelievable

everything is perfect about this kdrama “lovely runner” the visuals, the story just everything is so perfect
I first saw byeon woo seok in strong girl namsoon and I was like hoping and waiting when he will be the main lead and finally he did !!

I couldn’t wait for the drama to release so I read the webtoon first.

in the webtoon the FL did not had any accidents but in the kdrama there is, and the ML died a little bit different in webtoon than in the kdrama it says he died in swimming pool. I found it a lot different from the webtoon. The accident of FL also made me think that we should be grateful with what we have because it is precious too.

I never cried in the first episode of any kdrama but in this one I cried in first episode itself

definitely recommend if anyone is interested in romcom👍🏻 it’s not that cringy

from now on Mondays and Tuesdays are going to be the best!!!

Premiering on an Actual Solar Eclipse Day

The kpop group Ryu Sungjae is in called Eclipse and in the opening scenes they show people watching a solar eclipse. This drama premiered on the 8th of April 2024, on a day when an actual total solar eclipse happened. What are the odds !!!!? I'm amazed at how everything lined up.

Overall I love the drama, the plot might be cliche but Im Sol being disabled after an accident and gaining the will to live because of an accidental call with an idol is truly heartwrenching. Kim Hyeyoon totally knows how to portray her character so well. For now, it's just the time travel and nothing more in ep 1. So I am expecting to see more of their lives in upcoming episodes.
