That is an interesting take 🙊 Kind of echos with part of the premise that OG Timeline Sunjae was too mentally…
Yeees
He probably don't have energy to fight nor the will to live in original timeline.
That changed in the 2nd death wherein it reported an attacked because he was in better condition mentally, albeit there's still depression looming (clue: while introducing the medicines to im sol in his kitchen, he stopped after seeing the other medicines).
I personally loved the depression and suicide themes on the first half, because it recognizes it so I don't think his depression should be brushed off either just because on the upcoming deaths there was a killer on loose.
On Sunjae's first death -- I think he still met the killer taxi driver, but he was already suicidal too. I think it makes sense plot wise (clue: future 2nd death on ep 8). He was extremely depressed probably a combination of factors due to being a celebrity and heavy on the part of what happened to Sol 15 years ago. He probably surrendered to his death because he thinks it's better that way.
Top Star Yoo Baek was such a good drama -- it's one of my comfort dramas. Do watch it please. I'm so happy that she got her magic touch again with Lovely Runner. I didn't enjoy True Beauty that much, but I'm so pleased with those two shows she wrote/adapted.
Finally started Lovely Runner today and I'm addicted! It was so good. :') It hit all the right emotions. I felt like I have a different experience watching this drama because I was crying a lot on the first three episodes. Sol's sincerity and desperation to saved Sun Jae was so touching and I was just really happy for her -- especially when she can ran again. The theme of depression and living really hit me.
I've already the finished half and I might take a break just to savor all the good scenes I've loved! :')
It was an interesting concept, and this was a good watch. I agree with most that it did get a bit draggy. I am…
I liked this review. So far I'm enjoying it, and I'd prefer it without the murder mystery like a different setting similar to Miss Granny. Nevertheless, it's a little bummer that ML still hasn't figured out her secret yet (based on my currently watching ep). I liked their initial chemistry, and I liked the bits of the drama where we're given warm and emotional moments — I think the dialogoues are really good and I really like the synergy between characters.
Miss Night and Miss Day actresses are so matched with each other and I loved both of them. FL bestfriend is awesome. 2ML is really nice and warm and I enjoyed all his scenes with Miss Day partnered with funny reacts of Mr. Ju. ^^

The romance is slow burn and drama vibes is vibrant but leaning towards slice of life and family themes.
