Purple

She is for ME.

Song Weilong is incredibly charming. His acting alone was enough to keep me going. He’s not just easy on the eyes, he also makes the romance feel very believable. As for the story, it isn’t particularly standout, and it could’ve been trimmed down since there weren’t many major plot points to justify the 36-episode length.

She's one of the prettiest and most charming actresses in the drama world right now. I'm so glad I discovered her from POJ. Hope she won't have to face fanwars and her management pays her taxes right. Jiāyóu!

Same here! I’ve tried watching other recently released cdramas, but I just couldn’t bring myself to finish them, even the ones praised for having “perfect” storylines. The characters just didn’t keep me engaged, which is the complete opposite of Pursuit of Jade. I feel like it’s been a bit over-nitpicked. It’s really not bad, especially when you consider the NRTA guidelines they had to work within during its release. At the end of the day, I always stick to my rule: if I’m not enjoying it, I stop watching. Time’s too precious to spend on something that doesn’t hold my interest.

Logging back in to rate this drama that pulled me out of my historical cdrama slump. I went in with zero expectations, and I’m so glad I avoided reviews beforehand. It made the experience even more enjoyable.

What really made me love Pursuit of Jade is the female lead. She’s incredibly lovable, a true kickass heroine and a real fighter. At this point in my life, I genuinely enjoy watching female characters who can take down strong opponents without relying on the male lead.

To be honest, I wasn’t initially interested, but the actress completely drew me in. Tian Xiwei’s performance as Chang Yu was so natural and emotionally convincing, something quite rare to see from such a young actress. I’m new to her, but she absolutely delivered, and I’ll definitely be checking out her future projects. The same goes for Zhang Linghe. I knew him from Maiden Holmes and Love Between Fairy and Devil, but POJ really made me appreciate his visuals even more.

If Tian Xiwei and Zhang Linghe ever lead another drama together, I’ll definitely be tuning in. Their chemistry in Pursuit of Jade is top-notch!

He's so good looking.

I love her; she's so versatile and drop-dead gorgeous!

What a great actor!

What a gem this drama is. Deserve a 10/10 rating for sure. Kim Hye Soo never disappoints!

My chungmuro Queen. Can't wait to see her on Signal 2.

Will watch this.

Congratulations to Ju Ji Hoon for winning Best Actor at Baeksang for his role in this drama, rightfully deserved!

One of the finest actors in South Korea. Can't wait to see him in dramas again!

Why are longer dramas bland and shorter dramas like this are amazing! I want season 2 to happen because a kdrama like this is exactly what I need: fast-paced and entertaining and I need more episodes!!!

Every woman deserves someone who will love us like Gwang Sik.

Rest in peace Barbie Hsu. No more pain where you at now.

Rest in peace 🕊️

I feel like they shouldn't have divided this series into two parts. Right now, I'm just watching this one, minus the level of enjoyment I feel with Season 1. There are a lot of things that don't make sense and characters act out of character. 

Perhaps I just expected too much from this adaptation or I should've let this finish first before watching everything so that I wouldn't feel let down like this.

Time and time again, after a successful drama finishes, you'll see a surge of bad reviews. It's always like that, even in movies, animes, albums, books, or any kind of medium for entertainment, so if you know how to discern, you won't use it as a basis for starting something. 

Anyhow, Lovely Runner has been lauded by the majority of its viewers that despite being the underdog when it comes to promotions from the drama network it became a massive hit this without Netflix streaming it, mind you. So if you want something wonderful, refreshing and romantic that will distract you from your stressful life, please watch it now. ☺️

Finally, I will be able to see Deng Wei again on my TV screen on July 8!
