HAHA SAME! Plus it is end-game!! Things are so up-in-the-air with high school / uni day romances. I always have a hard time believing something from high school works out at the end (in reality, it rarely does). So this is good. Ugh can't wait!

I for one can’t wait for Seon Jae to be down bad for Im Sol again. Isn’t this so exciting? The anticipation for the next episode is crazy. Give me the adult-era romance I’ve been dying for pls.

Honestly this made me more excited about episode 14! I just know it will be good.

A+ comment

At this point, I am more worried about my own sanity when LR ends in less than 2 weeks 😭

I legitimately forget this is a time-travel drama. If Im Sol tells us she’s from Mars, I’ll believe her.
These two make everything seem so believable.

Re: the serial killer plotline complaints. There has to be some plot devices that keep the story moving. I rather have this than the ‘usual cliché romance plot devices’, i.e., some overblown love triangle, dramatic breakups, misunderstandings, second female lead rivalry, mother-in-law conflicts, difference in socioeconomic status problems, etc. At least the serial killer plotline adds some thriller element to the story. It is also done very well. I am clearly anxious watching it.

As much as I wish Lovely Runner was all rainbows and sunshine, it is also a 16-episode drama. Haven’t we watched enough kdramas to know this? I am ready to sentence this serial killer/stalker to life imprisonment. I am so excited about the next 4 episodes but I don't want it to end at the same time 🥺

I never skip the animated intro at the beginning of each episode. I just smile, get comfy and eagerly wait. It feels like a dopamine hit.

also that cherry blossom scene was sooo cute. I didn't know what to do with myself. My mouth dropped and I had my hand over it. These two are so damn precious. I cannot with them 🥺💙💛

best episode ever. that's it.

Not me spending an hour to watch only 17 mins.
Not me smiling and rewinding every 20-30 seconds 🥺

THE HUG *melts*

It is so incredibly hard to get rom-coms right! When it is done well, you notice it right away. This is why Lovely Runner is so loved! It is rare for it to be this good. The standard for rom-coms should be this.

Also, some negative nancys need to realize that you don't need action, loads of angst, drama, slice of life, tragedy, sadness, etc. for a drama to be considered 'worthy' of high ratings. We all have different tastes. You don't need to reprimand someone for liking something that speaks to them. No one's taste is 'superior' when loving a drama is such a subjective experience. So please get off your high horses. Yes, 9.1 rating is well-deserved. Personally, it is a 10/10 for me.

I hope they filmed a scene where Seon Jae plays coy and convinces Im Sol to give up that 'cheek heart pose' picture so he can stare at it all-day

Why am I watching each episode over and over again? Lovely Runner is becoming a comfort thing at this point. Guess who is going to re-watch the entire thing when it ends? ME.

In other news, I don't want it to end while simultaneously dying for new episodes.

me: ugh it's monday tmw, I have to work...
also me: but... Lovely Runner 🥺✨🌻💙💛

Watching Lovely Runner while it airs builds character.

Yeah I was also thinking how this is the first time Im Sol knows that the serial killer is connected to all of this including what happens to Seon Jae in the future. We know she goes to the past again but this time knowing who the culprit is. Hopefully, this changes things. (I mean it better since I am expecting a happy ending).

I’ve given up on all the theories. I rarely speculate anymore. I just grin from ear to ear and "watch>rewind>watch>rewind again" at this point. I am in for the ride. Just savouring each and every single episode. Lovely Runner is restoring my faith in kdramas again (gosh i've been watching for over 15+ years now). I just want fluff okay, not drama. This is perfect fluff. Cotton candy-esque.

Not me convincing everyone in my life to watch Lovely Runner. No shame really. The success rate is like 0.28% but that's okay. I am doing the most.
