I was pleasantly surprised by this one too. Have you watched Amidst a Snowstorm of Love? The chemistry in it and Lovely Runner was amazing!! I highly recommend them if you are a romance junkie like me!

Thank you SO much for your review! The 104 episodes scared me, but your review scared me even more. I am running away!

Great review, thanks! I loved the character of Veronica Park. You are right, she looked like she was having a blast.

Thank you for your review. I can't believe a season 2 is coming!

Great review, thank you! Chen Jing Ke actually played the support role of Jiang Yang in Amidst a Snowstorm of Love. Leo Wu was the lead in that one. I've got to find someplace to watch this.

I'll wait until the whole thing is released. So often a show starts out strong and then fizzles. I'd love to read your thoughts once you've watched the whole thing, because I'd love to see a cute, well-written show.

Thank you for your review. You've saved me some time!!! When I looked at the poster, everyone just looked blank, that's the same feeling I got from the trailer.

I'm absolutely with you! First, I'm all about the romance, and unfortunately it seems like most of them are lacking that certain "something". Tropes are added to fill time, the main couple is apart more than they are together, the ending is rushed after we suffered through them being apart. Then, along came Lovely Runner. I started it a week ago and it will probably be another week before I finish it, because I'm going back and watching each episode again! There are some problematic timeline issues for me, but I can completely ignore them because I am SO on board for the romance!! Off the charts chemistry, and I'm a sucker for when a man loves a woman first. The flying kisses, oh my gosh! Byeon Woo Seok's comedic timing was on-point, and you are exactly right about Kim Hye Yoon, she is funny and vulnerable, and I love her voice. I agree also with your assessment of the 2ML - I prefer that there not even be a HINT of 2ML (except in True Beauty), but he was so wonderful. I loved how he kind of sensed that she was older and kept making reference to it. The OST - I just read that the physical album for Eclipse came out. His voice is just beautiful. Sorry to be so wordy, I just meant to say that I liked your review, but then thinking about the show sent me off on a tangent!

Is he in the whole thing? When do they find out he's bad. I hate watching for a long period of time when the characters don't know what I do!

Totally agree!

This is exactly what is keeping me from watching season 2. How can they do everything that they accomplish (I LOVE how they are smarter than everyone and when they go in undercover), yet not know he's a bad guy?!? That's right up there with season one and the prosecutor easily finding their hideout.

Multiple articles said scheduling conflicts. I was disappointed, I thought that would have taken the show in an interesting direction.

Thank you for your review. The cast list was good, but I can do without all the bullying. And your description of the FL makes me think that I'll want to throw something at the tv, so I think I'll pass on this one.

Thank you for your review. Though this seems very dark for me, I plan to watch, because Ji Sung never disappoints. I really love when directors make use of colors in cinematography and clothing to convey emotion. It's much more nuanced to show us, rather than tell us.

I totally agree with you about the bodily function "jokes". I never find that funny. I'm struggling with the time travel inconsistencies, and the whole killer guy (what's the motivation exactly?), and boy, are the cops useless! That being said, something about this show is right up my alley. It's taking me forever to get through it, because I keep going back to replay episodes. Thank you for your review.

I agree!

Are the leads apart more than they are together?

Hoping it's not a makjang, but Rain might be enough for me to overcome my objections.

It might have been a good sequel with the original cast, but even that is questionable. I wish they would learn to just leave well enough alone. Thank you for your review.

Absolutely! That's a "must" for me.
