Ok Couldn't resist so I watched two extracts available on youtube for ep 8:
1. First One: Im Sol going back to the past, waking up on top of the statue, falling off it and being caught by Seon Jae. The only thing we hadn't seen is Sol being so flustered, she runs away without even thanking him.
2. Second extract is more interesting. I'm still learning korean so I haven't understood everything but Seon Jae and In Hyuk are talking. SJ is wondering why Sol dashed out as if she had seen a ghost. He explains to In Hyuk that if before she strongly avoided him but that this time she just quickly ran away ( I really don't see the nuance but whatever). SJ explains that he knows something was different because he felt that the feeling was different or something... She saw her face a bit from behind and he could swear she was blushing a bit.
In Hyuk, best friend ever answers that if she was strongly avoided him, it means she didn't like him... But if she quickly made an escape ... SJ suggests she's having a change of heart... but In Hyunk finishes his sentence by saying it means she really REALLY hates him.
SJ goes to sleep on the sofa... and In Hyuk adds that if it was him he would do the same. She had no feelings for him before and she still has the bad luck of being in the same university... Of course she would run away. In Hyuk asks him if he has no pride/self-esteem.
Seon Jae answers he doesn't ( at least he's being honest, but that what I like about him).
Than In Hyuk finds the lyrics of a song Seon Jae has written. At first he's happy, then he reads the title - "Shower" and guesses he wrote the song thinking of Sol. Of course SJ denies it and says he wrote the song as he was watching the rain.
In Hyuk doesn't buy it obviously. IH tells him that if he keeps seeing Sol at school, he'll never be able to resolve his feelings. If she's far from his eyes, she'll be far from his heart as well ( there's an expression in english for that but I forgot. English is my second language) in french the perfect equivalent would be "Loin des yeux, loin du coeur" which can be translated as "Far from the eyes, far from the heart".
Instead he should join his band instead of another dude ( not Tae Sung).
The scene ends there when SJ is getting out to avoid IH's nagging as he still insists he should resolve his feelings.
IH is such a good friend.
Dunno if I'll translate other parts... Took me a bit too much time. Gotta go back to work... But since lots of us have to wait for the official release on Viki, I hope it helps some of you to... bear the wait.
See this statement from the production team. Ryu Sun-jae is officially "Solchinja" - He is Solsexual, dude! He…
I wasn't mentioning Sol going back but Seon Jae... As for the webtoon... I haven't read it and have avoided spoilers regarding it so far... Wish I hadn't read your following comment... But what's done is done...
See this statement from the production team. Ryu Sun-jae is officially "Solchinja" - He is Solsexual, dude! He…
Not sure it's gonna be the last time slip. Last time slip for Sol but not necessarily the last one in the story. My theory is that Sol is going to save Seon Jae this time but she's the one who is going to die...
And Seon Jae will go back to the past using the watch we saw Sol gift him.
I'm all for the romance... but I do want to know if my guess is right :D hopefully tomorrow evening... after LOTS of sweetness from these two.
Nosy K-netizens really should learn a lesson on patience. Can't believe we nearly missed out on this gem of a…
Beg to differ there. Lee Bo Young was already a household name by then. She had just finished the very successful weekender "My Daughter Seo Young" and many of the dramas she acted in before had amazing ratings.
Lee Jong Suk had acted in High Kick followed by School 2013. School 2013 which relaunched the franchise at the time. He was already big. In fact in his generation back then, he actually was one of the ones who became pretty successful quickly.
I watched I can hear your voice while reading recaps on Dramabeans at the time, and I don't remember them adding extra episodes. Series longer than 16 episodes were not as uncommon back then.
When Imsol informed Sungjae about his shoulder injury. The time has stopped.When Imsol speak about several celebrities'…
Interesting... you might be right... But in my memory she informed Tae Sun about the fire when the fire had already started happenning。 Yes, It wasn't yet a full blown fire but it was already occurring. For her accident... She only mentioned that something could happen in that place on that day... But she didn't specifically say which event it was.
For me, it's more a matter of she can't say exactly what is going to happen but she does have the right to throw some hints.
There was. I think it got uploaded on Friday if I'm not mistaken... It's available on TVN's instagram or X Thread...
If you need the direct links, it's been posted.... but the comment section is moving so fast... I'm too lazy to look it up... Gotta go back to comments from two days ago...
im watching ep 8 now, the drama is not that good, i don't get the hype (i know ill receive hate of this but im…
Feel for your comment. Got insulted by some idiots on another drama thread because I didn't get the love even though I tried to explain my opinion as politely as possible... When I answered that I wasn't going to get into petty arguments over a drama and that this was my last answer, I got comments of me "acting all high and mighty" and "immature" and other BS. I just could guess how old these commenters were.
Anyway my opinion. Any popular drama is bound to have some people who just can't like it as much as others... I have a full list of those on my own Watched List and nonexisting dropped list ( I don't have any dropped list because when shows are popular and I drop them, I tend to be tempted to give them another go... one such example was Boys Over Flowers... Tried 10 freaking time, still thought that show was terrible... But imagine... I never dropped it before episode 6 for each try and the last try I dropped it at episode 12).
If it's not for you... I don't think you should keep on watching it. Even if you stopped working, studying, eating or whatever and spent your whole life watching dramas, you'll never manage to watch every single drama you would like or love. No need to bother with those you don't like.
People are mentioning that TvN didn't expect Lovely Runner to be that successful, in fact they even thought it…
Monday/Tuesday tend to fare poorly compared to other days of the week in terms of ratings. In terms of star power, as a long time k drama watcher, I can tell you both main leads's star power were way lower ( at least before the drama started) compared to Joo Won, Kwon Nara or Kim Ha Neul whose dramas are airing on the same day. And yes it's unfair, particularly for Kim Hye Yoon in my opinion who is just terrific in anything she does and has been in this field for a while.
I don't think it's a matter of quality but rather a matter of when the drama is airing and which dramas are facing it.
In fact if you look at TV ratings, I haven't checked for this week, but even though Lovely Runner is in the lead it's still below 5%. Basically, the popularity of this series has grown from reruns available on streaming services.
Anyway, no biggie. Better have an unexpected success than an unexpected failure. Also, it would be unfair to say Tvn expected this drama to flop, True Beauty was popular when it originally aired after all. They just didn't expect the outpour of love from fans.
It would be a nice chance to see a bit of jealousy from Im Sol even though we know Sun Jae had only one person…
Oh I hadn't read... I wasn't saying Sun Jae was going to look at other girls... But that Im Sol might think he does. A little bit of jealousy works wonder to make people get together, you know? The tiny feeling of urgency that your crush is going to be snatched away by somebody else. Especially because we saw in the preview that Sol is going to avoid him... maybe she feels it's her fault what happened to Sun Jae... Doesn't matter. Even if she wants to stay away... A fake love rival is all she'll need to change her mind :D
That was my train of thoughts. I just looked at the picture...I had no idea what was written ^^ But she also might be bullied because the girl in question is in love with Sun Jae. Either way, I'm not worried with this writer, she knows what she's doing. True Beauty was awesome from start to finish and this show has been so far so my worry is in the negative range at this moment.
It's one of the first uploads on TVN's Instagram and X pages (sorry unable to access the apps atm)
... Geez... I don't have an account on both... Ok... Hope I don't have to log in... to see it. Since I don't use social networks, last time I tried to connect to X via google it considered my account as fake... But thank you for the reply ^^
EDIT: Saw it! Actually I found the instagram link and I didn't need to have an account to see it... It was too short.
Direct link above for those like me who don't have an account... You can't navigate on the instagram page without an account... But you can see it if you have the direct link :D

Dunno why they deleted these... These scenes are lovely and it's not like the episodes are particularly long...
