EP 2

This is absolutely fantastic. Within just two episodes it has already become my most favorite drama of 2024. Although i have enjoyed many dramas this year, none have captivated me as much as this one has in such a short time.

The main reason is that everything in this show reminds me of one of my all time favorite drama, True Beauty. From their houses to the bookstore, family comic scenes and school settings, its all reminiscent of it.Even SML Kim Taesung's introduction feels similar to Han Seojun's and his first encounter with Im Sol mirrors Seojun & Jukyung's. Their dynamic seems poised to replicate Han Seojun & Jukyung's similar to Tom & Jerry relationship.

Im Sol is damn funny, every action of hers, particularly pretending to be a fake monk to warn Sunjae about his injury has me bursting with laughter.

Moreover, its intriguing how time freezes whenever Im Sol attempts to reveal the future to someone. It will be thrilling to witness how she and Sunjae alter their destinies.

Sunjae, by contrast appears reserved. It seems he harbored feelings for Sol for a long time but he couldnt tell her and she also never paid any attention to him, leading to a mismatched timing between them.

I cant express how much, i have missed this kind of shows in the dramaland.

Sung-jae’s Secret Teen Crush

This episode was full of perfect comedy, and we loved it. After that sad debut episode, we had a light and fun second episode. The actors continue to wow us with their prowess. Kim Hye-yoon does a great job of making us believe the storyline.At the moment, she and Byeon Woo-seok are carrying the show. We also love seeing our favourite actors, such as Kim Won-hae, who plays Sung-jae’s dad. There is a saying that one can tell how good a show is based on the supporting cast, and Lovely Runner doesn’t disappoint.The twist at the end was a good surprise, especially to those who are yet to read the webtoon. Sung-jae has always had feelings for Im Sol. He also saved her from the accident, which means he knew who she was that night after the concert. We can’t help but theorise why he kept his distance from her after becoming an idol. It is possible he was scared to confess his feelings, and there is always the fear of how his fans will react.This show touches on the para-social relationship fans have with their favourite idols. The reality is their relationship might have been ill-received by the fans. Either way, we look forward to slowly uncovering the mystery of Sung-jae’s relationship with Im Sol.
