Honestly it's rather presumptuous of you to assume to know what BWS (or for that matter anybody) thinks is beautiful or not. There's no need to spread hate.
If you do not like her, move on.

I'm sure the casting directors know best how to match casting roles 🤷‍♀️

It was confirmed in the drama that it was always murder.

(If you already think it's murder, you can ignore the rest of my message since it's TMI 🙈)

Sunjae from the original timeline captured the killer back in 2008 (the police were able to arrest the killer immediately because Sunjae did not let go of him).
In ep 9 it was mentioned that the reason behind Sunjae's murder was because the killer always had an intention to get his revenge once he was released . So it's safe to assume that even in the first timeline, the killer had the same intention since in both timelines SJ caught him.

This is further confirmed through Sol's scenes in both ep 1 and ep 8. Sol experienced the exact same events while she was leaving the concert (the phone getting knocked off/ missing the show/ unexpected snowfall/ meeting SJ on the bridge).

Finally, in ep 9 we can see that the killer tried to drug Sunjae first with a white rag. So it's safe to assume this is what happened even in the first timeline- just that SJ from the first timeline was intoxicated and wasn't as mentally strong as ep 8's Sunjae to fight off the killer.🙊

There are valid negative reactions since everybody is entitled to have an opinion but TBH, the unusually high level of negative reviews is mostly because the hype around LR attracted some viewers who normally don't like the genre with unrealistic expectations. The success also attracted alot of troll accounts🤷‍♀️

Personally I loved it. Just try to give it a chance till episode 2 at least if you interested since the ending of ep 2 is where things really shift in the drama.

The killer is a psycho serial killer- Sol just happened to have bad luck in the first couple timelines (like Madeline Explained).


Based on the the underlying theme in LR on fate, Sol really had nothing to do with the taxi driver. It was Sunjae's fate connected with the killer to always be an obstacle (even if it is unintentional)

I am not sure if you've watched till ep 16 yet, but if you have not, the following👇is a ⚠️spoiler⚠️:



In the last timeline, the killer didn't know about Sol's existence and only knew about Sunjae as a celebrity- they weren't in his radar at all until SJ unintentionally crossed paths with him.

Hey Madeline! It's been a while :)

You were right about NF- the subs are slightly different🙊
I'm at ep 5 at the moment and so far the translation wasn't too bad🙈

Exactly- the same is also true for Original timeline's Sunjae. He finally found peace in the 4th timeline after Sunjae unlocked his memories. The 2 of them went true soooo much alone
🥲🥲🥲

Is it because the show feels too familiar?

It was the opposite to me tbh. I found the first 2 episodes abit of a drag (mostly because the scenes kept reminding me of another drama I watched recently). It's gotten a lot better for me now since ep 3- it helps that there's only 8 episodes🙊

Guess I've gotten used to the "deja vu" sensation?🙈

Honestly it sounds like he loved the way she loved him. She most likely idolized him in the past. Considering his depression/ anxiety, her love must have given him confidence, until it backfired on him (her love and expectations in turn giving him more anxiety because of his writer's block)🙊

Yes, it's been trending in the top 1-3 spots in several of the countries they are airing at the moment based on X uploads.

It's number 2 in my country today- not sure how to check overall NF global ranking though since there isn't anything available for August yet.

The driver's intension was explained in ep 16 briefly through Tae Sun's dad - just a psycho. Sol just happened to be in the wrong place during the previous timelines. In the last timeline, the driver wasn't aware of Sol (or Sunjae except as a celebrity). His real connection by fate is with Sunjae (SJ was always an obstacle even if it was unintentional). But yes, i guess some would prefer it being clarified in more detail (apparently there was a deleted scene in ep 9 according to the script book mentionning that he is a psycho clearly- guess they ran out of time)😊

The time freeze thing- i can't recall the source but apparently you have to actually hear Sol's "spoilers" for the timefreeze to work which is why they didn't use it during any of her kidnapping scenes (and it only lasts for barely a few seconds so it's not really that helpful in that situation). Also her frame of mind at the time would be too unstable to remember about her superpower. Sunjae's fall hapened in seconds before Sol could have remembered her power unlike how it was shown (it just was shown in slow motion to do the monologue).
It would have been funny though if they could have saved him like that 🙈

Haha ikr?! Have you seen the interview bit where KHY actually gives BWS a a piggyback ride? So cute and funny!

-Sol "runs" to the past to save Sunjae.
-Sunjae "runs" to the future (2023) to be with his Sol.

So together, they are lovely runners :)

Honestly the name can be interpretted in many ways. The korean name literally is Sol's Fan username (Piggy back Sunjae and run)

Exactly...at the very least we now know that he did low key traumatize her without meaning to...and the preview seems to imply that his mum is somehow involved🙊

Out of curiousity, what if Hong Ju started to subconsciously truly obsess over Jun Ho because she was getting a little too close to KHY?
She was a fan already after all...it doesn't take a lot to confuse feelings as a fan to love? Specially at that age?🙊

"wonder how come Sun Jae still love her despite the emotional roller-coaster she gave him"-

Sunjae was pretty much a lost cause after ep 2 (the stolen swimming trunk incident). Upto this point he was slightly cautious but once he understood that Sol may be "strange" but all her actions stem from wanting to protect him, her erratic behaviour didn't matter. He doesn't understand why exactly, but the fact that regardless of the reason, she still cares about him was enough. 🙊

To be fair, the writer or media did not claim that Lovely Runner was aimed at "macho men" 🫶

Haha ikr?! Netflix just gave us another excuse to watch LR all over again🙈

I don't have the Viki sub so haven't tried it but the different subtitles used across platforms does still maintain the drama's freshness😉

It would have been amazing! Guess they need to find a way to work with the viewing rights with Viki (at least that's the rumour)

Not yet but they'll probably release it soon hopefully.

It's available in a select few Asian countries for now.

It's even part of South Korea's 2024 Olympics Excibit - in prominant display too compared to the other shows mentioned (from what I noticed at least)😊
