Replay Time Slip to Love.
An Interesting time slip replay to win true love.
Time slips and meta-relpays can be so challenging to sort out let alone maintain charater growths in only 16 episodes. Hut Lovely Runner has skillfully done so with all its overlaping charater plays and links.
The main leads- Im Sol & Ryu Seon Jae battle through their twisted fates across 15yrs of overlaps and redos. Im Sol wants to protect & save him. Ryue Seon Jae wants to protect & save her. The chemistry is so good for the leads. And the hemistry & banter amongst the secondary characters and couples. I love truely enjoyed the jealous bromance between RSJ & KTS. I absolutely love all the work and growth of Kim Tae Song ( by Seon Geon Hee). KTS starts as the typical angsty teen boy and grows to the strong best friend for both along their time limes, quietly suporting and sheltering their love bc he wants her happiness and long life more. Yes, some firendships are stonger in the begining, while others grew stronger after a few retries. but that actually pushes the growth arcs.
SeonJae noticed her Sol long before she realized, as she was his mystery call from the opening scene.
The start of his love and missed chances is always palpable...but the time slips begin when Im Sol initiates the sequence to correct the tragedy of losing someone she didnt know she needed.
Sol's Grandmother is truely, the voice of the fates reminding and nudging them to grab on to love, enjoy life, and live through the challenges in all its stages. Reminding them that the Soul needs true love to live just as we need oxygen to breath.
Irony -this is the second kdrama "rewrite my life" series i have wathched with Kim Hye-Yoon cast as acting FL . She pulls off the mature and omniscent protaganist very well here, while maintaining the distinct differences in charater between innocent young Sol and the experieced older Sol.
Lovely Runner does a wonderful job of differentiating the story line from other kdrama tropes. Soo much symbolism at play through out the series. Important foundations of the time slips are credible and mystical enough to be successful. After just 2 episodes you are hooked and you need the rest to follow through...ASAP. Binge and rewind and replay soo many good scenes!
