That super happy preview is weirdly making me nervous. Knowing tvn and their misleading previews I’m kinda scared lol. I’m 99 percent positive that it’ll be a happy ending but I don’t want any random plot twists in the end. Just let me see them happy for most of the episode.

It’s impossible to top this. I am also watching The Atypical Family and I’ll continue watching that cuz it’s great and unique. But it’ll be hard to start any new dramas now for a while.

I have to give props to this writer for handling the love triangle so well. It wasn’t handled well in her last drama. We’re all rooting for the main couple and yet we also want Tae Sung to be happy in the end. Sunjae and Sol are one of the best main characters in kdramas but Tae Sung is right there with them as the best SML. Beautifully written characters.

It has aired. It should be up on Viki in a couple hours. They need time to sub the episode as well.

They gave us everything romance, thrill, time travel, angst and fluff. And everything just works perfectly. This will be a drama that will be remembered for a long time. It’s an all time classic.

Saying goodbye to Lovely Runner will be hard. But what an 8 week journey it’s been. I did not know I could anticipate Mondays this much. Next Monday is about to be the most depressing one of the year.

A perfect drama so far. Great character development, great acting, great direction and top notch production. And to top it all off an intriguing and unique plot.

I just realized something. Da Hae seems much more in love with Gwi joo than he is with her. Like it happened all of a sudden for her in the span of a couple episodes. It’s because, all the interactions she’s had with Gwi Joo when he goes back have already happened to her and they are yet to happen for present Gwi Joo. This show keeps blowing my mind with these little details.

Rating increased to 8.4. It deserves even more.

I think I’m gonna put this on hold for now. It’s hard for me to get through these episodes. And I absolutely loved One Spring Night which was all about romance from ep 1 even though the couple don’t get together till late in the drama. I expected more romance in this one, I know it’s coming but I just can’t sit through the other academy stuff. I’ll probably pick this up again when it’s ended and skip the academy parts.

I have a feeling that the fire incident and saving Da Hae isn’t the endgame for this drama like they’re hinting. I think through Da Hae he is ultimately going to save Ina from that accident. That accident definitely has more to it than we’ve been shown. This is also probably the one of the main overarching themes of this drama, Gwi Joo getting to form the bond he never had with his daughter with help from Da Hae. That’s just my theory.

They don’t have a lot of OSTs like most other dramas but the ones they have are used so well. I’m also watching Midnight Romance in Hagwon and that also uses like 2 songs on loop but it doesn’t hit the same way they do here. Just my observation since I’m watching both at the same time lol.

I’ve grown to love the FL in this drama. Her and the little girl are the best parts of this show. She’s been given a great backstory and her character growth has been amazing to see. I guarantee you’ll love her too when you watch the first 5-6 episodes.

Every episode is better than the last. And I don’t have to worry about this drama dragging at the end with 12 episodes. The pacing has been great and there’s still a lot to unfold.

I wouldn't assume anything based on the directors past work. Working with different types of scripts is the hallmark of a good director. I would probably pay more attention to the writer's past work if I was making any predictions. The one drama I have seen of her had a happy ending. The source material for Lovely Runner has a happy ending. So I don't think we need to worry about getting a sad ending. We're definitely getting a happy ending. How that ending is executed remains to be seen.

Directors have no say on how the drama plays out. They just work with what's given to them in the script.

32k comments and 37k watchers is insane for an airing drama. I've been here since day 1 and seeing this drama blow up like it has makes me so happy. And after next week Mondays will be depressing again with no Lovely Runner to look forward to. I am having withdrawal symptoms already and that just speaks to how amazing this drama has been.

I don’t think I have it in me to watch this week’s episodes. I’ll wait another week and binge the last four episodes together.

And most people don’t even get SLS here. Kim Tae Sung is a great second lead and he would’ve given many people SLS in any other drama. But Sun Jae is written to be such an amazing main lead, the 2ML stands no chance against him. The writer surely improved a lot cuz true beauty had the worst triangle ever.

Thanks
