need a drama with a disabled main character

after the first episode, I realized that I would like to watch a drama with a disabled hero, just like FL.
After two episodes, the drama seems to have great potential, the scheme of returning to the past is quite popular. I'm curious what the creators of Lovely Runner will do with it. the actors are great, I'm having fun, although the female character sometimes acts childish (considering she's an adult in a teenager's body)
I am waiting for more!

My Dimple Fluffy Couple

First of all, i have read the webtoon although some parts are way different from the webtoon, it still works. I love how it didnt follow the webtoon entirely and thats what i like about it. The acting mwuah chefs kiss. The character did an excellent and amazing job at portraying each character.

Sunjae is a definition of love can make one a fool. He becomes a total loser when it comes to Sol which is refreshing to see. I had enough of cold men who barely expresses themselves but Sunjae, he is a whole forest a TOTALLY green flag. He would die for her over and over again and will still love her regardless.

He expresses his love for her every second he can get. BWS did an amazing job and portraying that character which can be quite difficult. Overall, i enjoyed this drama and the ending really wraps it up. If you want a light yet suspense drama this is for you. Love that they didn’t messed up the ending.

“Lovely Runner” is the kind of drama that reminds you why you fell in love with K-dramas in the first place. It’s tender, funny, heartbreaking, and full of that rare kind of magic that makes time travel feel less like fantasy and more like fate. What begins as a story about second chances slowly unfolds into a meditation on love, regret, and the quiet courage to change destiny.

Kim Hye-yoon is absolutely phenomenal as Im Sol — warm, determined, and deeply human. Her portrayal of grief and hope feels painfully real, and she carries the emotional weight of the story with extraordinary grace. Byeon Woo-seok as Ryu Sun-jae delivers a performance that is both gentle and devastating; his sincerity makes every moment of love, confusion, and sacrifice hit straight to the heart. Together, their chemistry is electric — not flashy, but pure and deeply felt.

The writing strikes a perfect balance between fantasy and realism. The time-travel element never overshadows the emotions — it enhances them, showing how even the smallest choices can ripple through a lifetime. Every episode feels purposeful, blending laughter with tears in a way that feels effortless.

Visually, “Lovely Runner” is breathtaking: warm sunlight, nostalgic filters, and intimate framing that capture both the wonder of youth and the ache of what could have been. The music — especially Sun-jae’s songs — lingers long after the credits, turning memories into melody.

What makes this drama unforgettable is its heart. It’s not about rewriting the past; it’s about cherishing the present and the people we love while we still can.

Poetic, healing, and full of soul, “Lovely Runner” is a timeless love story — one that runs straight into your heart and stays there.

Simplesmente perfeito!

Apesar de alguns furos no roteiro eu fiquei apaixonada por tudo! A química dos dois, o elenco, OSTs, história. Você se apaixona de novo e de novo por eles em qualquer linha do tempo. Pra mim foi o melhor de 2024 com certeza.

Eu não queria que acabasse nunca. E olha que nem é o meu tipo favorito de dorama, não gosto muito disso de magia e tudo mais mas deixaram tão leve e gostoso de assistir que foi impossível não gostar. Impecável do começo ao fim, pra quem gosta de dramalhão é 10/10. Ameiiiii!

Sauver l'homme qu'on aime, possible ou pas ?

"Lovely Runner", c’est pas juste une romance avec un twist temporel... Pour moi ça a été une claque émotionnelle, un de ces dramas qui me prennent par la main, me font rire, pleurer, et m’écrasent un peu le cœur… mais avec tendresse 🫠. J’ai été happée dès le premier épisode, la construction du récit, entre passé et présent, est d’une fluidité folle ⏳. Chaque aller-retour dans le temps a du sens, chaque geste, chaque regard pèse lourd...

Et puis… Byeon Woo Seok. 🫠 Mon dieu !!! Ce gars ne joue pas, il ressent... Il a une manière d’aimer qui est silencieuse, presque tragique, qui m’a complètement retournée. Il porte son personnage avec une intensité douce, un regard qui dit tout sans parler. Quant à Kim Hye Yoon, elle est lumineuse, drôle, vulnérable et forte à la fois. Leur alchimie ?!? Irréelle. Perso, j’y ai cru 😭🔥

Ce que j’ai adoré aussi, c’est que "Lovely Runner" ne tombe jamais dans la facilité. La romance est là, mais elle se mêle à une vraie réflexion sur le destin, les choix et la perte... C’est doux, mais jamais mièvre 👍🏻

Et l’OST… 🥹🎶 un vrai coup de poignard dans le cœur... Elle accompagne les moments clés avec une justesse folle, au point que chaque note te replonge direct dans une scène précise... et je l'écoute encore 💔

Même les rôles secondaires ont leur place, rien n’est laissé au hasard... chaque personnage, même le plus discret, contribue à ce fil rouge du destin et de la seconde chance.

Bref, "Lovely Runner", c’est un bijou à la fois tendre et déchirant, je ne l'oublierai pas facilement... ✨ Je l’ai aimé fort et je j’y repenserai encore longtemps ✌🏻

Everything about this drama was perfect. Drama kedua yang aku rewatch berkali-kali karena dari segi cerita, akting bahkan ostnya bagus semua. Ceritanya sederhana tapi ga bikin bosen, penyelesaian konfliknya juga ga bertele-tele. Pokoknya ga akan nyesel buat ditonton, minimal tonton sampe episode 2 buat nentuin lanjut atau engganya ♡

En aşık kdrama karakteri

Çok güzel başladığını düşünüyorum ilk bölümler kalbimi kıpır kıpır ettirdi erkek karakterin kadın karaktere gösterdiği aşkını izlemek aşka olan inancımı arttırdı her zaman ve her evrende erkek karakter sevmeye ve aşık olmaya devam etti bence dizinin en etkileyici kısmı da buydu . Kadın oyuncunun oyunculuğunun mukteşemliği erkek oyuncuya da çok şey kattı ve güzel bir gençlik aşkı izlememize olanak sağladı .fakat sonlara doğru senaryonun basitleştiğini ve katil adamın neden öldüğünü merak ediyorum dizinin iyi sonla bitmesi güzel oldu fakat kötü sonla bitseydi kesinlikle akılda kalıcı bir senaryo olacaktı.

Hermoso kdrama

Lo tiene todo, comedia, romance, un poco de misterio,quimica entre los actores, fantasía que te deja pensando. Super recomendable. La empecé a ver y es de esas series que termina un capitulo y no podes esperar para ver el siguiente. Vicio total. Hermosos los actores super adorables. Este kdrama se convertirá en un clásico moderno, como lo son BOF, Escalera al Cielo, Coffe Prince, Full house, infaltable en el repertorio de los amantes de las joyas asiaticas. Disfruten viéndolo, no se van a arrepentir!

Sun Jae

Que dorama lindo que deixa os corações quentinhos!

Apesar de não compreender muito os primeiros episódios, Sun Jae realmente trouxe em meu coração uma vontade de amar alguém como ele. Gentil, amoroso, executivo e gato.
Pensa em um homem lindo, cavalheiro e ....

Adorei a história, mas senti falta de algo.
Não creio que precise uma segunda temporada. Fechou tão lindamente o romance deles

Benvenuti nel nulla che piace, ma non a me.

Un drama così caotico che sembra scritto da un algoritmo ubriaco di soju: mille trame che si accavallano e fanno a botte come gatti in un sacco. Ogni personaggio sembra uscito da una caricatura malriuscita: lei, con l’intelligenza di un sasso levigato (ma senza nemmeno il fascino archeologico del reperto), e lui, perso in un loop infinito tra “ti amo” e “non avremmo dovuto incontrarci”, come un navigatore GPS rotto.
La sceneggiatura? Una raccolta punti dei cliché presi da altri drama, incollati insieme con lo sputo e la disperazione. Il momento più surreale: un serial killer che decide di perseguitare la protagonista non per vendetta, non per trauma infantile, ma… per un cellulare trovato. Nemmeno Kafka avrebbe osato tanto.
Cosa si salva? Forse la capacità di farti rivalutare ogni altra serie vista finora, anche quelle che avevi odiato: accanto a Lovely Runner diventano capolavori. Rimane un mistero insondabile il voto altissimo su Viki, forse frutto di un complotto globale, o di spettatori che hanno lasciato la TV accesa e sono partiti per un viaggio intercontinentale.

Consigliato solo a chi vuole un’esperienza mistica tra l’assurdo e l’insopportabile. Oppure a chi vuole punirsi senza spendere in palestra.

El presente se convertirá en pasado en apenas un segundo.

Cuando la empecé yo esperaba una serie super sencilla, de que típica historia de amor nomas con este cambio de ella viajando al pasado para evitar la muerte de él y la verdad que tipo los 1ros 2 o 3 capítulos si me aburrieron poquito, pero la serie me callo el hocico, conforme avanzaba la serie me quedaba más impactado.

Cada que me acercaba más al final quería que no quedaran juntos porque la actitud de el en este último universo no me gustaba pero luego caí en cuenta que de 4 universos que ya habíamos visto (con excepción del último que era en el que estábamos) en todos terminaban en historia trágica y dije nah si me estoy mamando al pedir que también queden separados acá, porque según yo nos presentan 4 universos o 1 universo con sus diferentes ramificaciones en torno a las decisiones tomadas, (el primero siendo el del inicio de la serie con Im Sol en silla de ruedas y Ryu Seon Jae suicidándose (que siento que debió de haberse abordado de mejor manera el suicidio de Ryu porque pues nomas se nos dice que sufre depresión severa so me hubiera gustado ver el cómo poquito a poco tuvo que ir lidiando para al final hacer lo que hizo porque nomas se nos dice que lo hizo por rumores infundados y comentarios de odio pero que, o sea que tan fuertes tuvieron que ser, no se una mejor explicación falto), el 2do el muriendo siendo atacado, el 3ro el muriendo por el disparo en el acantilado y el 4to ), y cada universo los vamos viendo conforme avanza la serie en el pasado que sería el presente porque pues viene del futuro, todo un enredo te hace pero aja.

Tanto Im Sol como Ryu Seon Jae me cayeron bien, si hubo unos pocos momentos donde ambos se me hicieron un poquito insufribles de que ganas de darle un batazo a ambos pero en diferentes capítulos, también me cayó muy bien Kim Tae Sung su personaje 10/10 me molesta que no le hayan dado un final bonito/digno para él, siento que me desperdiciaron al personaje un poquito y si algo tengo que decir es que él era mi protegido aquí, en general siento que la serie quedo con unos huecos argumentales, unos vacíos entre universos porque si bien la serie está hecha para evitar algunas cosas hay otras que si tienen que pasar (como la lesión del manguito rotador de Ryu Seon Jae) entonces conforme avanza van quedando cositas en duda, la serie siento que tiene un gran cast pero el necesario siento que todos son carismáticos y como que tienen su papel en la historia, el final del "villano" (Kim Young Soo) si me impacto, tipo x fin veo un final digno de villano, de que hizo cosas feas y un destino como el que le toco al final le quedo como anillo al dedo también siento que tuve un poquito de dudas con su trama en los universos 3 y 4 pero bueno ya se habló de eso, en conclusión la serie me gusto bastante, fue una serie inesperada que me alegro de haberle dado la oportunidad y que no descarto que en un futuro la vuelva a ver:)
La frase del título es del cap. 1.

Never stops touching your heart

Ho amato tutti i trope presenti (friend to lovers, enemies to lovers). È stato un viaggio di pura immersione nel romanticismo, con una trama che parla di destino e seconde possibilità. La serie è perfettamente bilanciata tra momenti dolci, divertenti e anche strazianti. L’ho riguardata più di una volta in questi mesi e non perde mai mordente: non ci sono momenti noiosi, il drama scorre fino alla fine senza mai annoiare. Il finale è perfetto e molto emozionante.
I loved all the tropes in this drama (friend to lovers, enemies to lovers). It was a journey of pure immersion in romance, with a storyline that explores fate and second chances. The series is perfectly balanced between sweet, fun, and heartbreaking moments. I’ve rewatched it multiple times over the past few months, and it never loses its charm there are no dull moments, and the drama flows effortlessly until the very end. The ending is perfect and deeply emotional.
