need a drama with a disabled main character
after the first episode, I realized that I would like to watch a drama with a disabled hero, just like FL.After two episodes, the drama seems to have great potential, the scheme of returning to the past is quite popular. I'm curious what the creators of Lovely Runner will do with it. the actors are great, I'm having fun, although the female character sometimes acts childish (considering she's an adult in a teenager's body)
I am waiting for more!

Breathtakingly Lovely!
For some of us..when a new series comes online..the first thing we do is read the reviews, even when it is too early to know for sure, so this review is for those early birds like me. But here is my promise....I will be back throughout the series to update both the rating and the review. Pinky swear. ❤️So what makes this series a potential stand out? Well, for one thing...the two leads. We knew for a while that it was coming..and as I kept reading about it..I was drawn to the ML's body language as he talked and noticed the words he used to describe his relationship with the FL. He kept signaling their compatibility...and how easy they were together. In a teaser for the series..he said “My chemistry with Kim Hye Yoon was so good that it’s indescribable.” He went on to say, “I have complete faith in Kim Hye Yoon, who has a lot of romantic comedy experience. Thanks to her, I was able to act comfortably during filming. I think this will translate well on screen too. Especially in scenes where Sun Jae is emotionally moved by Sol, my heart genuinely fluttered as well.”
As I told my friend..this usually portends some very good things for a drama. The first two episodes are a case in point. They are gonna sizzle because in my view..they just naturally appeal to one another.
What I Love:
The Emotional Connection:
Chemistry among leads is almost an indescribable quality, but while we can't always define it ..we know when it is there and we def know when it is missing, lol. These two leads are connecting on all cylinders and that makes the allurement between them easily discernible. In every scene from the first episode ..both leads pulled at our hearts. As several of us said on the boards this morning..so many scenes had an emotional tug..that tears were never far away. It wasn't depressing ..but rather it moved us and because the emotions were so legit, we felt immediately plugged into the drama.
Kim Hye Yoon:
She is fantastic at emotive acting so this series is def in her wheelhouse. She portrays a woman who suffers a life altering event that all but ended her, until one strangers voice changed her life's trajectory. She is grateful and remains stunningly cheerful despite the many obstacles she faces. Her courage appeals to those of us who have been there...with struggles that required a herculean effort to overcome. Her heart is so softened in sympathy...that when she sees he is a fellow sufferer, her desire to comfort him and give him back the peace he has lost is overwhelming. So watching her work sweet magic on his wounded heart is gonna be so lovely.
Byeon (Byun) Woo Seok :
This guy it goes without saying is dreamy...but there is so much more to him than that. He deserves this role not because he is a star but because he is truly talented. Like KHY he emotes so well that we feel his response without words. I love that about him, his face is so expressive.. When he held the umbrella (mostly over her) getting very rained on and simply stared at her for long moments....his concern and empathy were etched on his face. We felt his emotions as we watched him allow her to hug him for long moments in what was an embarrassing encounter. Most ppl would've pushed her away..but because he felt her distress..he reacted slowly. So he is effortlessly using body language..and a magnetic style of acting which should prove a fascinating watch.
Clues and Connections:
Fun clues that connect the past to the present. Watch for them...you will love them.
Umbrellas, black, blue, yellow. Weather, Eclipses, Rain, Snow.
White candies. Rented Video. Running. A pair of Watches.
Special Moments:
There are so many of these...it is hard to pick a favorite. One in particular that I loved was towards the end of the second episode...while walking directly in front of him, she says " he refused my friend request and he is getting farther away from me all the time...he doesn't seem to want to get close to me" and all the while, he is smiling and zipping backpack up from 2 inches away. So ...many adorable and memorable scenes. I have a feeling there will be many more.
I will stop there as it is early yet (I know) but so far..this is a total recommend. Stop whatever you are doing and run to watch Lovely Runner. I am lovin' it! I dare you to try one episode..you will be hooked!
@4 Update: Outside of a few cut aways in key moments where they didn't later continue where they left off and a few comedic scenes that were extraneous..this series has delivered.
Time travel romances are nothing new...but watching this one is a bit tantalizing as the writers are good at not letting us see around the next bend. They def know how to build anticipation. The sizzle I had hoped for is there, in fact, for a young love story...it is pretty adult in substance. They look as though they were made for each other and the feels are all there.
There is only one problem at this point and that is waiting for Monday and Tuesday. If you enjoy binging a series..this one might be a good choice as you could keep all the details fresh in your mind. For now, none of us can wait...take a look at all the angsty board.
This is fun...join us.
Happy Watching!

Thrilled to the Bone !!!
This is my first review and i am writing based on my personal opinion and the super enjoyment i went through while watching the film Only 2 episodes, yet the series promises a good, funny, highly enjoyable watch. BWS can act and is truly entertaining. I was so thrilled in his scenes as a singer and a swimmer. He can literally and figuratively sang and swam into one's heart. Scenes back to high school days were so hilarious and i super enjoyed them. It also provides for a good trip down HS memory lane. The FL is a good actress. She provided half of the moving as well as funny scenes. Both acting are on point. I already rewatched the first 2 episodes while waiting for the next to come. I just hope that BWS will not die in this series. His horrible death in nam soon was heartbreaking and kept me sleepless and restless over a few nights. Hoping to see more heart pounding moments in the next episodes.Was this review helpful to you?

THE ROMCOM I WAS NEEDING
The first two episodes were the most beautiful thing in this world, Byeon WooSeok is a great actor and SINGER, he's indeed so much better than other idols! and I love Kim HyeYoon's character, I felt so identified with her.‼️‼️ SPOILER ‼️‼️
I could never know he was in love with her FIRST ?❤️❤️ but I love that, 'cause, that's why he saved her and got down from his car (in the present) whe he saw her ? The songs he sang in the concert, was for her. She was his inspiration!
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEIR LOVER ERA ?

Unexpected Delight: 'Lovely Runner' Redefines K-Drama Expectations with Impressive Start
Wow!! The first 2 episodes of 'Lovely Runner' left me speechless. Initially bracing myself for the typical fangirl clichés, I was pleasantly surprised by its refreshing take on the genre. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, the visuals are stunning, and the emotions feel genuine. What sets this drama apart is its ability to infuse humor without veering into cringe territory. The pacing is perfect, keeping me hooked from start to finish. With such a strong start, I can't wait to see where 'Lovely Runner' takes us next. And let's not forget about the OSTs—they're absolutely spot on, enhancing the scenes in all the right ways. Hopefully will continue to be must-watch for any K-drama enthusiast!Was this review helpful to you?
Time travel has never been better than this!!!!
Honestly speaking, l am at a loss of words, Lovely Runner is the definition of an incredible masterpiece, just like Twinkling watermelon, we are on episode 2 but already the overall rating is 8.9?.....OMG.....and l love how my Mondays are now full of joy.... The main leads have too much chemistry... I guess HyeYoon has a way with her male leads.... She literally gets sooo comfortable with them!!!! I love this masterpiece..... The writer deserves a round of applause.... If you aren't watching Lovely Runner?!!! Then what are you doing lol....This is a go to!!!!!!!
