this drama was not extraordinary by any means. there was so much missing in the plot nor there was any reasoning behind anything that was happening yet i found myself drawn to the amazing chemistry of the main leads. if the cast wasn't doing a good job, i might've dozed off and skipped this.

so why is my rating 8? i'm guilty and say that this drama ignited the hopeless romantic in me. that lingering hope of fate bringing you close to the person meant for you type of deal. i was squealing, smiling and laughing throughout this drama. there were sweet moments, comical situations and just scenes that were clearly filler scenes but I still found it enjoyable because i found this drama to be something like a compilation of everything at once. while some dramas that tries hard to bring in every single genre possible, somehow, lovely runner worked well for me with its comedy, thriller, and romance. kim tae sung, in hyeok and sun jae trio and sun jae x tae sung duo; such a fun combination of characters.

even though i'm fond of this drama, i can't deny how flawed it is. there was little to no explanation for its time travel, the abrupt jumping back and forth, flashbacks and the villain feels likes an annoying hindrance to the story instead of an important feature to the plot. heck, what even was the plot?

despite the incoherence of the holes in the story, i would fall in love with this drama again just like sun jae and im sol.
