If Miji is the one he likes, why is Ho Su hanging around Ji Hyun? He is basically leading that girl on! Why is he so wishy washy about even after Miji's drunk confession!?
The comments were complaining about the FL when it is actually the ML who is insufferable! Most of her actions though annoying, were justified and were result of intentional instigation. She goes throught one of the best character developments. However, what the ML puts her though from ep 7 onwards is just harassment and bullying in simple words. While some of you may swoon over his gradual development of feelings and constant jealousy, he has a very destructive way of dealing with his these feelings. He continuously slut-shames the FL in his jealousy even when she is just simply talking to a person of the opposite gender. His feelings clearly doesn't make her feel loved or protected rather it's a mix of insult, obsession and ownership. Even his own friends notice it and repeatedly warned him but he perceives himself too mighty to allow any peer advice. What's more infuriating is that the FL seems to give into him the moment he confesses instead of pushing him away. Why the writers decided to reduce her to a doormat who gives into the guy, reponsible for making her life a living hell, is something I will never understand. That's when I had to stop watching. He should have grovelled! He clearly does not deserve her.
No matter how much I try, I cannot just get into this drama! The FL is perfect! It’s the ML who ruins this drama for me! There is zero development of his character or should I say he doesn’t have any depth in his character. Even when he is performing difficult tasks, it doesn’t really look heroic. As a result, I don’t see the palpable chemistry that everyone here is talking about. I am at ep 12 and atp, even Furong has better chemistry with the FL.
This comment section almost gaslighted me into missing out on such a beautiful drama! A solid 8.5 - 9 for me. The leads make up for the lack of kissing scenes with their chemistry and thoughtful gestures for each other! This girl despite having arthritis which makes the monsoon painful for her, starts loving rain after meeting him, and y’all were questioning her love for the ML?! Physical intimacy is not always necessary for a passionate love. The way they love each other and hold on to each other despite the hurdles shows their true passion.
Everything aside, I loveee how happy the FL looks after her breakup as she gradually grows closer to the ML. She literally glows with happiness and her parents also noticed it. She could hardly manage 2 lines in front of her ex but with the ML, she literally goes on yapping! That’s what healthy companionship does!
Just watch 1 more episode to see why, though I realized at once what was happening and why.
I got spoiler from the comments here that she is a spy or something like that. Still, in the eyes of the people, he is a husband to 2 women. This is a huge disrespect towards the FL. Besides, the FL was always careful about the image of their marriage. By bringing a concubine, he has ruined that image. Btw, does the concubine remain in the drama till the end?
I want to watch this drama because I love the FL since her L&P days and also heard praises about the ML. But I need to know how much romance is there in this drama? I don't mind a slow burn or romance as a subplot. Is the romance here as subtle as that of "The Double"?
The heck is this?! From where did a concubine pop out?! He seemed to be caring towards the FL! How did he even agree to this arrangement? I am dropping this!
watching a 16 episodes drama 6 times in a year is crazy!
Ikr. I have never done this before, and i would be almost horrified if someone else said this to me a year ago. But just like i said, Lovely Runner is THAT drama. The exception!!
One personal factor about this drama is that whenever i have rewatched dramas (I rarely do), I have had this urge to lower the rating that i initially gave to those dramas. Yet, in case of Lovely Runner (watching it for the 6th time), never once I felt that it didn't deserve a solid 10. It's that drama!!
To be very honest, it depends on your choice of genre. I have seen most of the negative reviews coming from people…
Lmao😭 not only that, this person is diagnosing a psychological problem to every single character. Perhaps she is a psychology student, the literature student in me can only laugh at those reasons (calling Sol a crazed fangirl when the whole kdrama fandom jointly agreed that she was the most laid -back fan ever, who idol-zoned poor Sunjae several times and did not even get jealous about his dating rumours).
I have a phobia of overhyped dramas..Let's pray a game;For people who liked it list of reasons why I should face…
To be very honest, it depends on your choice of genre. I have seen most of the negative reviews coming from people who detest this genre *ahem* like one comment above mine *ahem* to the point of making up lies like "no chemistry" and "evil second male lead". One thing i can assure you is that you won't have any problem with the chemistry. Recently, Singer Kai from EXO revealed that men in Army were swooning over the chemistry of this lead pair. However, chemistry is most of the time is not enough to enjoy a drama, (at least not for me, if the storyline is trash).
So, again, the genre. If you are okay with Fantasy Rom-Com, then proceed and watch first 4-5 episodes. But you'll have to proceed without any prejudice. "Overhyped" itself is one prejudice. So, don't depend on people's opinion, make your own. Good Luck!
5 NOMINATIONS in Baeksang Arts Awards on the eve of its anniversary! Oh Lovely Runner, you shall always remain THE GOATED! No matter how many times toxicity and jealousy try to put you down, your success will ALWAYS speak louder!
Heartiest congratulations and a very Happy Anniversary to this masterpiece!
i wouldn't call ashtine seasoned. imo, she only appears so because the rest are terrible.the red haired guy, the…
I would disagree on the Ashtine part. There are cutesy scenes of her, which could go horribly wrong and become cringe, but her acting made it appear perfect. Same with her mental breakdown scene. That was a brilliant performance! I will always give credits where its due. Same with the chemistry, the ML and FL have palpable chemistry. It's the storyline that messes up both the characters and the whole show.
I get that the ML's acting is quite amateur in his solo scenes but I do see constant improvement. The fact that this drama only worked because of the the ML and FL's chemistry says a lot. Their romantic scenes are quite well-acted (be it forehead kisses or eye-locks). I do see palpable chemistry between them otherwise, both of their characters are dumb, immature and absolutely unlikable storywise.
The SML has increasingly been giving creepy-obsessed vibes. If that's how it's supposed to be, I would say, he is also doing a good job and has improved.
