I did, earlier this year and I LOVED it! Watched it for Kim Namgil, stayed for the plot. It was quite hard to move on from it too. One of the best psychological Kdramas. :’)
BTS J-hope also watched Lovely Runner & even referenced it in his letter to Armys.This means Jungkook & Jimin…
J-Hope’s letter:
How have you been doing in the mean time? Have you been eating well? Sleeping well? What have you been into these days? Has life been okay without us? Things you want to say when you see us? Honestly did you cheat or not~? Did you carry Sunjae on your back and run or not~?*

This means Jungkook & Jimin probably watched it as well. Oh gosh if they could go live rn I know they would've sang the OSTs as Jungkook did for Goblin & they would've made references to the jokes & comedic scenes from LR.
I hope they talk about it when they are back. My worlds colliding in the most precious ways. <3
The reporters running towards the arrival hall for KHY after sending off BWS is just so funny to me 😂😂😂https://x.com/inyeopsubs/status/1801034563269042464?s=46&t=9cg2OLj81Hgy909q-dDeBA
English translation of Byeon Wooseok’s old interview during Moonshine drama. Here, we can see the other side…
"Who knows, Byeon Wooseok once showed this cool and unexpected side of him"
Host: Since actor Byeon Wooseok and actor Kang Mina have been spaced out for a long time, I'll ask them some questions as well. Byeon Wooseok, after acting in the 'Flower Crew' drama, you gained the image of a flower scholar. But this time, your image has grown sharply, and you are now the crown prince. What do you think?
BWS: First of all, the house is big. Yes, (a crown prince's) house is significantly larger, which makes me happy.
Host: Yeah, the living environment has a significant impact on quality of life, right? But this crown prince seems to prefer to spend his time outside the palace. I noticed it in the clip before. Did you prepare anything for your role as Lee Pyo, the crown prince who has anti-American sentiments?
BWS: I think I focused more on facial expressions and body language. I'd also like to emphasize Lee Pyo's unpredictable side, which is well known for his signature smirk. So I practiced that part a lot.
Host: Oh you tried to describe the things you did, but I actually couldn't see those things in the result (the clip that was shown) hehe.
(The experienced Hyeri steps in to explain)
Hyeri: Actually, if you read the script, Lee Pyo is actually the most charming and fictitious (dreamy) character. But here, actor Byeon Wooseok was able to go above and beyond in his portrayal to make it real. I think you should look forward to that.
Host: Also, actor Byeon Wooseok, you seem to want to speak. You're already holding the mic
BWS: I've been holding the mic since then, but I'm just holding it
Host: You know, you also turn your head like this
Host: Actor Byeon Wooseok, you just shook your head as if you disagreed with actor Yoo Seungho's explanation and he called it a "sign of rebellion"
BWS: No, I did it (moved my head) in a positive way
Host: You did? Oh, so that's supposed to be positive? Wow, today I learned something new. So, do you like to rebel and only think about yourself?
Host: It seems like actor Byeon Wooseok and actor Kang Mina do not applaud or express appreciation for one another that much. But if there is nothing else to say (you're not comfortable doing that), you don't have to.
BWS: No, Seungho-ssi just said that that we all get along well, which you can also check later in the making video, but you're asking about it again
Host: Ah, yeah I can check that later, but you can at least say, "Oh, she did a good job..." Well, in terms of your chemistry when working on these characters. I'd like to know your thoughts on that.
BWS: I actually worked with Mina a long time ago. So I already knew her and was looking forward to working with her again. I'm also interested how Mina would represent Han Aejin. Then I met her on set, and she really represented Aejin in my eyes. She is also quite chubby and bubbly.
Host: Chubby? You mean 'charming'?
BWS: No, please listen to me until I finish. She is quite chubby and bubbly, and her charms bring her character to life. That is why I am grateful, because she is the one who became Aejin.
Host: Okay then, the 'charming' actor Kang Mina (he again corrected BWS and said charming instead of chubby). Please compliment your costar too.
I dropped Hwarang, Mr Queen & Are You Human (I prefer I’m Not A Robot).
I watched While You were Sleeping 2 times. :)
Edit: Oh wait, I’ve watched Secret and Signal (loved them).
I wish I could hear them all or Jungkook sing Eclipse/LR OSTs.
How have you been doing in the mean time?
Have you been eating well?
Sleeping well?
What have you been into these days?
Has life been okay without us?
Things you want to say when you see us?
Honestly did you cheat or not~?
Did you carry Sunjae on your back and run or not~?*

I’m currently watching Secret Royal Inspector & Joy. What should I watch after this? Please drop your suggestions. Thank you! ^^
Preferably mystery/investigation/action/fantasy genres.
Now I know where that short clip of BWS facial expressions where he went from 😁 to 😐 came from.
Thank God he looked much happier and cheerful in Lovely Runner interviews.

Here, we can see the other side of BWS which is more stern while answering the rude MC’s questions. 👇🏼
But still, I will silently keep them in my prayers. ㅠㅠ
