Hi, thank you for your interest! I'm still working on it, adding some finishing touches and all. My brother said the summary part is way too long so I'm trying to shorten that and he said I need to somehow write 200 words about how this ties to history which I'm struggling with.

But since it's due today I'll be done soon, and idk what platform my brother will post this on, but if I can I'll definitely share the link with you!

Aww, thank you! It does sound like a fun idea and it's definitely something I'd like to try. I don't think I can do a lot now since I'm busy with college but I'll probably start writing more articles when I can.

Yeah, I did plan on watching it, but after seeing enough youtube shorts, I felt like it was just a "ok" drama for me, and not worth watching (especially since I heard each episodes like 90 mins long). I wish I could like it as much as everyone else seems to, but I really don't.

Ok guys, so I'll be honest. I'm not the brightest when it comes to school, and probably one of my only strengths is writing. My brother's the opposite, he's really smart, he's even in the IB program. Since he has a lot to do, he asked that I take care of the blog he has to make that's 20% of his final grade, and he said I can choose whatever topic I want.

Of course, I chose Lovely Runner! So I wrote out a really lengthy blog, found funny clips to add to it, great pictures, named it after the original title of the manhwa, and if you ask me to greatest addition is I went to episode 14 and found the few lines Sol has at the beginning of her script and wrote that as the topic sentence for the blog.

I'm proud of myself.

My brother said he doesn't want it to sound "romantic" or "girly" so I made it really analytical, but since his teacher said they need to "hear his voice" I'll probably edit it a little more, and I still need to add some parts.

But this is the most fun I've had doing an academic thing in years.

I feel the same way about QOT, but you know what? There's no single drama, book, clothes, person, or anything that appeals to every single person, and that's alright.

No one's saying this is some amazing, in depth, out of the world, once in a lifetime kind of story. It's about how they present the said cliche story to us, and the relationship between the characters that make this a beloved drama to most of the audience.

It may be overrated to you, but that doesn't apply to everyone.

Right, even tho I've never watched any of BWS movies/dramas since they're sad I decided to watch this one when I saw how adorable the previews were, but wanted to wait until the drama was finished. Then I saw clips of episode 1 and I told myself I'd wait until episode 6/halfway is over. Then I saw that plot twist from episode 2 all over youtube and I was like eff it and just watched every episode since then.

I rarely watch ongoing dramas, and never as early as episode 2, but that plot twist is probably one of my favorite scenes from any drama I've ever seen and they ruined it and I'm so upset.

Yeah, I wonder what's up with this latest "trend"

YESSS given how a wide demographic likes this drama, your sister will probably like it too!

Yeah, my sister doesn't like kdramas, but I managed to practically force her to watch this drama with me. Now she actually likes it a lot and I don't have to force her anymore which is nice.

She went from not caring when I text her everything that happened in the latest episode to being mad if I try to show her the preview.

That would be really cool if it does happen

Yeah, before I usually just read the comments since I was too lazy to really comment. But yes, now that I know it can be this fun I'll continue with other dramas that are as good as this!

Yeah, that makes sense, I'll probably not be as engaged in dramas I'm not that invested in.

I think it's because lovely runner has the same vibes as dramas from "the golden era" of kdramas. Tbh there aren't a lot of dramas from recent years that I've been this invested in so this is really nice.

About the PFP, same!

Why is there Goblin from 2016 on this list lol

Honestly I've been on this site for almost 2 years but I've never been invested enough in any drama to actually interact with everyone here and theorize together and chat, but I really find it so fun now and enjoy it a lot. I'll probably continue this with other dramas I watch in the future.

And it's fun to see what theories end up being right and wrong!

(P.S. Thank you! Your pfp is iconic!)

Yeah, I feel like every episode there's so much going on I wouldn't be surprised if even the writers made a few small mistakes and plot holes. We might just be overthinking it lol.

But the scene of him standing outside her apartment just to check on her doesn't really make sense since in the present of the second timeline that's all they showed us, and unless she goes back to the future where everything is almost exactly the same, they can't really add to that scene of him checking on her or anything, so why would they add this part?

Also the way how he was wearing a cap and his outfit and how he was trying to remain inconspicuous, and how he came at night, I don't think it was to check on her.

And the first time with the grandmother I thought it was an attempt at humor, but after this episode I think she definitely is related to Sol time traveling.

My sister typically sticks to cdramas unless it's a kdrama that caught her eye (which is rare) or I force her to watch one with me. I finally managed to practically force her to watch this with me (I'm rewatching with her now).

Altho she kept complaining in the beginning, now even when I went to turn it off and go to sleep after episode 3 was over she was like wait, I need to see more, it can't end like this and we continued to episode 4. She laughs a lot and smiles, when I ask her what she thinks about it she says "not bad".

I think she really does like it, and I'm so proud of this drama that it even managed to get my sister to actually like it. And I'm proud of myself for being so sure she'd like it.

I do think it's a good theme, but I can't imagine the heartbreak we'll see from Sol's side after how giddy she's been to experience new things she couldn't before. Maybe she won't care as much if it's to save Sunjae, but still I wish her and Sunjae got all the happiness they deserve after everything they've been through.

That's why it's called lovely runner lol. It makes us run around all crazy for them.
