Sharing my review here as well! Honestly it's hard to describe the feeling that LR gives me. Its so fulfilling and heartwarming. Its hard to put it into exact words but here it is!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lovely Runner is the perfect example of what happens when amazing actors, amazing directors, and an amazing writer come together.
A true masterpiece in my opinion 👏
Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok have been perfectly cast as Im Sol and Seon Jae. The script was written for KHY. To me it was fate that all of the other actors rejected Lovely Runner. Because it was fate for BWS to play Seon Jae. These two in my opinion were born to play Im Sol and Seon Jae.
This show is the perfect balance of romance and comedy. A true Rom-com! It has some heavy heartbreaking moments but they're carried out well. And the pacing of the show remains perfectly consistent till the end.
I'm glad they didn't over complicate the whole time travel thing. It was quite straightforward. Im Sol goes back in time to save Seon Jae from his impending death in 2023. There are no parallel timelines. Its one timeline thats being altered as Im Sol changes the choices she makes in the past in 2008/2009.
The end of Episode 2 changes the entire direction and pov of the show. Its not about Im Sol going back in time to save her Idol Ryu Seon Jae. It's Im Sol going back in time to save Seon Jae (who's first love is Im Sol). Idol Ryu Seon Jae didn't just write Sonagi for anyone, it was for his first love Im Sol. It was love at first sight for Seon Jae when he first met Im Sol when they were 18.
Im Sol tries many times to change Seon and her fate but finds out that some things are meant to be and will always happen.
✨️The most important one being, Seon Jae will always fall in love with Im Sol. She is his fate. Seon will always be there for, even if it kills him.
It's just like Seon Jae says, some choices you will always make. Even when you know the consequences (in this case Seon Jae's death). Because you like them. ✨️
This show gives us so many heartwarming moments. Seon Jae isn't just a green flag. Hes a green forest! Filled with nothing but love. Endless love for his Im Sol.
The ending of this show is perfect and represents SolJae so well.
Even though Sol goes back in time one last time and breaks the link that connected her and Seon Jae - as fate would have - Seon Jae took an instant liking for Sol when they cross paths again in 2023. And he falls in love with her again.
They way they showed Seon Jae gaining all of his memeories of all of the alternate timelines is beautifully done.
Im Sol that went through time and space finally succeeds in breaking the loop and is able to give Seon Jae a chance to live a long healthy life - with her by his side.
I love all of the parallels in this show. From their high school days to their college days to finally in 2023.
💯/10 for me. This is my favorite kdrama of all time! It'll always hold a special place in my heart.
#1 Lovely Runner#2 Goblin#3 Healer#4 Pinocchio #5 DOTS/W- 2 worlds (I can't choose between both😑)
What's DOTS? I have Goblin on my watch list. I'm a huge fan of LDW. I tried watching the first episode few weeks back but I was too obsessed with LR to focus on it. Might try start it again once I'm done obsessing over LR 😅
1. Lovely Runner (10/10) 2. Alchemy of Souls Season 1 (10/10) - used to be #1 😅 3. Mr. Queen (9.5/10) 4. Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 (9.5/10) 5. Move to Heaven/18 Again (9/10)
I took a screenshot of the 9.2 rating 😅 I've seen rating jump around a bit for at least a week after the show has aired since some ppl decide to binge watch once the last EP airs.

I already feel a kdrama slump starting
