Lovely Runner (2024)

Similarities :

-one of the leads has a secret crush on the other for years.
- both male leads are green flags
- height difference couple
- drama that takes place in the younger years of the main characters lives
- both are nostalgic although Lovely Runner takes place in the early 2000’s
- both female leads are shorter and very sweet
- both female leads have a funny relationship with an older brother
- both have great kiss scenes

• The plot is somehow very similar
• The protagonist will time travel to save ML
• May be they will change their future
• And obviously they will fall in love
Hope that this helps cause as I saw the trailer i suddenly remembered about marry my husband and the similarities between these two shows

The female leads travel back to the past to their school days and realize that the male leads have always been by their side and they relive events that happen and try their best to change the future that they will live.

Time travelling grew up in the same neighbourhood. The male lead travels many times to change the female lead's destiny in First Love Again. In Lovely Runner, the female lead travels back to change the male lead's destiny.

Similarly
- time travel to the past
- FL tries to fix things
- ML doesn't believe Fl but somehow falls for her

Difference
- setting (PMR time travel to past is bear tobthe future like its tt to a year back)
- atmosphere is more somber in PMR

One More Time is also a time travel/loop story. In both dramas ML is related to music, but "OMT" ML comes back to the same day all over again to save his girlfriend destiny, while in "Lovely" FL goes back in time to stop ML's death from happening in the future.

Lovely Runner will be my all time favorite because of the cast and the entire happy haze it created for me.

This drama has just begun and it is already making me laugh like crazy. So, these both rom-com share similar vibes.

Apart from that, one is a fairytale-based romance (Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale) while the other is time travel based (Lovely Runner).

Both have FLs that had near death experience but MLs saves them. The FLs will have an opportunity to save the MLs too.

Both have green flag leads with great chemistry.

The ml in this drama gives vibes of ml from WLFKBJ! Both ml's do swimming, one is in high school whilst the other is in uni.

- Opposite of Lovely Runner
- A man who can go to the future, tries to change his present in order to change his future and his and his wife's inevitable death in the future.
- Absolutely heartwarming story

?Both are feel good dramas
?Both dramas have "eyecandy" heroes ?
?In lovely runner FL time travels to save ML life while in Present is Present ML time travels to save FL life

Both have supernatural elements, themes of true love across time, being chased by a psycho, and intense protectiveness of one another, both the FL and ML.

Both dramas have female lead goes back in time and falls for the male lead.

Lovely Runner has more of the mystery element and she gets several chances to go back like in Shining for One Thing while in Parallel Love she goes back but tries to return to her time and accidently falls for the main lead. In both dramas the male lead finds out that she is from the future and her past and future selves may feel differently about him but they are willing to wait for years to meet her again in her time.

- Both have Byeon Woo Seok as the ML
- Same vibe as around 2000s high school romance
- Dealing with death
- Overall, these are just two excellent shows/movies that share the same vibe

You say simp and the ML from LR and FL from WIFTY will compete to take the call ??

Though they have different genre high school and green flag friendship is what is the most common factor about both of them ?

P.S: Rewatch value 10/10 for both

Watched too many edits of SWDBS ML being the oldest, LR ML being the middle and FL WIFTY being the youngest child. ?
