Serious question: How long should I give this one before giving up?
I'm on episode 4 and am now fast forwarding 80% of it. At this point, I'm only watching Zhang Jing Yi's scenes (she's great, but I'm finding the ML irritating).
Just jumping on to say: 1. This is so cute. I'm on episode 6 and I'm really enjoying how low stakes, sweet, and fluffy this is. If you're looking for a fun and sweet rom com with a straightforward story and chemistry between the actors, this checks that box. 2. In addition, there's something about Chae Jong Hyeop's performance that is both adorable but also super sexy, and that takes the drama up to a new level. I've never gotten butterflies in my stomach when a character merely smiles. His smiles are making me feel things. 3. Kim So Hyun is just a delight to watch. She's one of those actresses who makes every scene feel effortless. She comes across as "a girl's girl" in this one and I love her character. She's straightforward, honest, kind, and intelligent. Love her. 4. Also a big bonus: everything the characters do makes sense. At no point have I yelled at my screen or turned it off in frustration. 5. The SML and SFL's story was sorta boring at first, but it's (eventually) cute and now growing on me (as of ep 6).
In summary, so far, if you're looking for a fun show to keep you engaged with low stakes where romance is the central story, highly recommend this one (... so far.)
I donāt mind when the story is far fetched, that never bothers me. And flaws in writing or plot holes (for me) can be easily forgiven if the show is entertaining. But after the strong first episode, this one just became boring. And that made me so sad because I love these actors. I had to drop it after 6 episodes due to lack of interest.
Did everyone see the article about how Viki surpassed Netflix in streams for the first time ever because of Lovely Runner!?!?!?!? AHH! BEST DRAMA EVER!

Hye Yoon should win a best actress award for how believably she acted like she thought it was pretty.
