I think she forgave him because he showed his love through cleaning her clothes and his actions spoke louder than his words. They have a pretty confrontational relationship in general but are always there for each other. I agree that I wouldn’t accept it from a friend but I’ve known people who have confrontational friendships and they have strong bonds. He’s overly polite and respectful to others but can let loose for Seok Ryu because their bond is unbreakable so hopefully you can see the loveliness of that 😊

Also she has a lot of evidence against him doing illegal things, even though he ends up getting fired anyway, it would be stupid to go after someone for assault when they have evidence of fraud, for example

I thought the same and found myself wanting to skip through the recording booth scene, for example. The teaser looks like it might pick up a bit next ep!

I’ve been watching a lot of historical dramas so seeing Kopiko was like seeing an old friend 🤣

Same, I almost choked on my drink when he asked her to go travelling with him! The nerve!

I really liked that this drama acknowledges the struggles of the palace maids. They were the back bone of the palace, but replaceable. They had to show unwavering loyalty to the royal family and received none in return. It made it hard to disagree with the head court lady’s decisions. Not a lot of happiness in this show because to me, the king’s love warped into obsession as we slowly watched Deok Im wither away for love…

I think it’s because she’s saying “well, if he’s not in my heart then you don’t need to worry so why don’t you care what I’m going to do about my feelings?” and it’s almost as if he’s saying “you’re a lowly palace maid, you’re not going to turn down the Prince so all that matters is the Prince’s feelings”
And I think she wanted to find out just how lowly he thought of palace maids and she got her answer

Thanks! I’ll have to try to find it

This was my first C-Drama and I really enjoyed it! The first 25 episodes had me hooked and unable to stop watching but the ending felt a little rushed in some areas and extremely dragged out in others. I loved the two leads, the costumes and the sets and I want to check out more historical dramas

Agreed. I’m really enjoying their friendship!

I’m enjoying Hong Ju and Hye Ji’s friendship tbh it feels really natural and they’re both supportive of each other

I thought the same but I think it’s because his previous roles that I’ve seen have been smiley characters whereas he’s playing a more serious character here! When he smiled at the end of the episode I didn’t see much difference other than maturity

Yeah for me it’s always the second episode where I can tell - some of my fave dramas have rough first episodes!

Pretty basic plot but it’s only 8 episodes and I think the leads have good chemistry so I think this could be a nice little drama - not super memorable but gives good vibes in the moment 😊

They do stop speaking English after about halfway through

I don’t want to start any shows because I’m too excited about this! Please don’t be a let down 🤞

The 9th episode confused things too much with not enough time to wrap things up but overall this was fun (if you like silly humour) and I’d much rather they came up with these quirky ideas for 10 episodes than them stretch it out to 16 by throwing in a murder plot or something

Just finished a rewatch of this, it’s my comfort drama for sure! It’s not for people who get SML syndrome 🤣

For me, Lovely Runner was the first show I’ve seen in a long time that knew it was a romcom, wasn’t ashamed of being a romcom and delivered what was promised 100%

Oh don’t worry, I’m watching Lovely Runner the minute the episodes drop! It’s the shows I planned to watch when all I could think about was Lovely Runner I feel sorry for!
