Best chemistry, awesome plot

This is the drama that you must watch. Believe me you will love them since the 1st episode. Cinematography, acting, plot, chemistry, ost... everything are well balance. I never skipped any second of this drama. Even the opening video though.

The actors maybe not an A list but they can draw the roles very good. Big standing applause for the staffs who found these gems starring in this drama.

Poor that tvn not really promoting this drama. They must be regret it now huh!

It's a really good drama .
.
I should thank you for coming into this world . For making the long journey of time to come to me with that i got chance to ask you to be with me. For that i'm grateful .
- sun jae.
i' loved it.
All of the scene from the first episode until the end is Grandma's POV (point of view). Im Sol is the younger self of Grandma.
Have you ever wonder, why does grandma acting so strange?
1. She's been keeping Sunjae's watch
2. She has dementia (makakalimutin) but she didn't forget everything that happened from the past up to the future.
3. She remembered that Im Sol can't walk kahit pa naka time travel sila that time.
4. On episode 14, she called sunjae as "husband" so it's possible that sunjae is actually her husband when she's younger.
5. Episode 14, she knows that Sol misses Sunjae that's the reason why grandma went to the restaurant owned by Sunjae's father.

Com certeza, um dos kdramas já feitos.

É absurdo o tanto de palavras que eu teria que usar para avaliar o quão bem estruturado foi o roteiro desse drama. Se você olhar para trás, no episódio 1 só parecia ser mais um com roteiro de idol e viagem no tempo, mas já no fim do primeiro episódio é onde você vê todo o potencial da história. Atuação extremamente digna de ambos, OST cativante e o elenco perfeito para compor essa obra! Agora o que resta é uma imensa saudades do Sunjae e Sol. Com certeza irei reassistir no futuro! 🥰❤️💞

갑작스러운 소나기가 내 머릿속에서 조용히 놀고 있어 <3 <3 <3

이제 이 시청을 마쳤으므로 나는 이미 이것에 대해 분리 불안을 느끼고 있으며 분명히 몇 주 동안 이런 기분을 느낄 것입니다. 제가 마지막으로 한국 드라마에 푹 빠진 것은 2016~2017년으로, 한국 드라마는 정말 완벽해서 속속 시청할 수 있었습니다. 한국 드라마가 전성기인 때다.

요즘에는 하나를 끝내는 것이 정말 어렵습니다. 목록에 대기 중인 드라마가 너무 많아서 끝낼 동기를 찾을 수 없는 것 같지만 이것이 왔고 러블리 러너는 정말 좋은 한국 드라마에 대한 나의 갈망을 끝냈습니다. 이 드라마는 나에게 또 한 번 같은 느낌을 줬고, 매 회마다 느끼는 스릴과 설렘이 단 하루라도 보고 싶게 만들었다. 제가 오랫동안 갈망해왔던 걸작입니다.

선재려고 하지만 가장 인기 있는 스트리밍 앱에는 없고 평점도 가장 높지 않을 수 있지만 그 인기와 나 같은 팬들이 얼마나 호평을 받고 있는지 확실히 알 수 있습니다. 만일 그들이 콘서트를 열기로 결정했다면 티켓이 매진될 것이라고 장담합니다. 노래와 영상미가 일품이다. 이 드라마는 전혀 과대평가되지 않았고, 만점 이상의 평가를 받을 만하다. 나는 아직 이것을 놓아줄 준비가 되지 않았습니다.

the most beautiful kdrama i have ever seen

nunca voy a olvidar este kdrama. es lo más lindo que hay en el mundo.
la historia es maravillosa y está muy bien desarrollada, además la química que tienen los actores es increíble, son de los que te hacen sentir que la historia atraviesa la pantalla y te llega de una manera increíble.
por no mencionar también el soundtrack??? o sea esas canciones SON DEMASIADO BONITAS, todas todas.
definitivamente es una serie que le recomendaría a cualquier persona, todos deberían darle una oportunidad. no se arrepentirán 💕
te amo lovely runner, gracias por estos dos meses increíbles❤️‍🩹

SUN JAE AHHHHHHHHH!!

I REALLY enjoyed this drama after dropping and being disappointed by many recent kdramas.

PROS.

The story is interesting!

ML was perfect. Cute as a student and hot as a top star. I can not get enough. He is a dream.

Supporting cast were funny as heck.

OST = 💯

CONS.

I only have one. The FL. OH MY GOSH she was annoying. Micro expressions means nothing to her. She basically have three expressions throughout the whole drama and this one is in every episode - 😲

Casting is everything!

I'm a sucker for rom-com stuff, so, of course, I enjoyed this one. But I do have to admit that the best thing about this kdrama is the casting choices. I can just imagine that I wouldn't be as invested in this kdrama had they chosen other actors. Kudos to the actors because they did such an amazing job.
There were definitely lapses when it came to the plot. The taxi driver killer was so one-dimensional, in my opinion. We didn't have that much information on him aside from being a serial killer; he barely even talked. He was basically just there as an obstacle for the leads, nothing else. Speaking of the leads, I wish they gave them more substance, you know? I like them together, and I'm glad that BWS and KHY's chemistry had me wanting more, but their lives basically revolved around one another. Almost all of Sol's and Sun-jae's choices had something to do with each other.
Despite all that, I still quite enjoyed the drama. I don't consider this the best kdrama by any means, but it's somewhat of a feel-good and filler kdrama with a side of serial killer for me, and I enjoyed that.

The best romcom ever ??!!!

I’m sure everyone else will find better words to explain what they loved about this drama but I still wanted to give a little review because it surely deserves it ! I didn’t have much expectation at first, since I thought the plot wouldn't have much essence to last 16 episodes but I didn’t feel bored even once ! It’s quite rare for me so I definitely wanted to address this first.

To be honest, the plot isn’t exactly extraordinary but it was handled with such care and smartness that it worked very well. There were some clichés thrown in it like love at first sight, childhood friends/acquaintances, love triangle (if we can call it like that), but it didn’t feel recycled from other dramas. Like of course some elements are present in other dramas but I didn’t feel like I was watching the same thing again and again and I want to give a round of applause to the writer for that ! Even better, it felt like I was watching different romance dramas in one single drama because of the different timelines mixed in here, and so, it was always exciting (and kinda heartbreaking) to watch the main leads interact with each other in another timeline (with different contexts).

Apart from that, the characters, especially the main couple, were truly a delight to watch. The ML is perhaps the greenest flag that exists in k-drama land, at least in my opinion. He also managed to level up my expectations even more (and surely it’s not the best thing for my already non-existent love life T-T). Like, seriously, what a dreamy man !! I also really like that the leads sacrificed so much for the other, it was well-balanced and didn’t feel like one was more in love than the other. Their chemistry was of course off the charts, and their interactions full of humor, cuteness and love. I don’t even know what to say about them, apart from the fact that the actors were born to play these characters lol. It felt real and they made the viewer empathize with them at every sad situation they had to go through. The FL was also amazing of course, the actress was one big ray of sunshine throughout the drama, and she excelled in tragedy scenes. Considering the story and the circumstances, I feel like she did her very best and I honestly don’t understand the negative comments regarding her character or her decisions… But oh well, to each their own I guess !

Another thing that I loved about this drama was the humor thrown in it ! For once, I didn’t feel like I was watching a different drama with a completely different genre halfway through. In fact, since it dealt with different timelines, there were some sad scenes present here and there (the acting was, again, top notch) but fortunately the humor was also here to balance things out.

Now for the secondary characters, I liked most of them, mainly the 2ML, the grandma, and the other members of Eclipse. Concerning the 2ML, I was a little sad that we didn’t get enough of him, especially near the end. His character was very interesting and he didn’t feel like his whole existence was to provoke the ML’s jealousy (but these scenes were also very funny I can’t lie). So yeah, maybe the writer could have introduced a love interest for him as well near the end, I don’t even know ! Even better, a sequel with his character would be awesome but alas, it probably won’t happen. Apart from that, I wasn’t really a fan of the romance between the brother and the best friend. Even if there were some funny moments (most of them were kinda cringe though), I would have preferred if the story focused more on the 2ML instead… As for the villain, he was a stereotypical antagonist that didn’t have any reason behind his actions (like the villain in Destined with you) but I can understand why they chose to go this route. A more complex villain would have complicated things (lol), and they did want the leads to have a chance against him in the end (and for once, thank you, evil truck of doom !! You are a real lifesaver).

What else can I say ? The ending was perfect, and for once I don’t have a single complaint about it. The last episode was only “good vibes” and that’s what the viewer wants while watching a RomCom, so a big thank you to the writer for understanding that !! The OST is also outstanding, and frankly, I’m quite impressed that the main actor sang all those songs, especially since he isn't an idol in real life, if I understood correctly ?? Again, what a man !! All the other tracks were of course amazing and very well placed throughout the course of the drama. The cinematography was also great, and some scenes are indeed quite memorable, but I guess it’s a specialty of k-dramas directors since I say this about every drama that I like haha.

Well, my “little” review isn’t so little after all. I guess that I can conclude by saying that this drama does indeed live up to the hype (in my opinion) and it deserves all the love it gets. I can’t wait to see the leads in other projects but I admit this couple will now occupy a permanent place in my brain and heart. I’m kinda sad that it’s already over, so yeah, I will definitely miss this. T-T

This K-Drama Will Make You Want to Rewind Time (and Not Just Because of Travel)

Imagine this: you're chilling on your couch, popcorn in hand, ready to dive into a new K-drama adventure. That's exactly how I felt when I hit play on *Lovely Runner*. From the get-go, I was hooked. The storyline? Super intriguing. We've got Ryu Sun Jae, this swoon-worthy idol, and Im Sol, his biggest fan who's been through some tough stuff. But here's the twist: time travel! Sol gets zapped back 15 years into the past, and boom, she's face to face with Sun Jae in his high school days. Talk about a plot twist!

Now, let's talk characters. Sun Jae? Total sweetheart. He's got this awkward charm that just makes you want to give him a big ol' hug. And Sol? She's hilarious! Her antics had me laughing out loud one minute and tearing up the next. Oh, and can we talk about their chemistry? It's off the charts! Every time they were on screen together, sparks were flying.

let's talk about the unsung heroes of Lovely Runner – the supporting cast! You've got Kim Won Hae, the king of comedy, bringing the laughs as Sun Jae's hilarious dad. His banter with Sol's mom? Priceless. Then there's Baek In Hyuk, the goofy best friend who always knows how to lighten the mood. Seriously, his antics had me in stitches every time he appeared on screen.
Ah, Taesung, from his love for fashion to his heartfelt relationships, he adds depth and warmth to every scene he's in. His charming personality, authentic friendships, and meaningful character growth make him a standout in the supporting cast.

But it's not just the big names stealing the show. Lovely Runner is all about those little details that make the world feel so real. Like, remember when Sol zoomed in on Sun Jae's collarbone in his fan photo? I swear, I was wheezing! And how about those throwback moments to South Korea in the past? From the Olympics to the rise of SNSD, it's like taking a trip down memory lane.

Oh, and let's not forget about those clever little nods to past episodes. The way they seamlessly tied everything together? Genius. From callbacks to earlier scenes to subtle hints about future plot twists, it's like a game of cat and mouse trying to unravel all the mysteries. And let me tell you, it's oh-so-satisfying when you finally connect all the dots. It's those tiny moments that really make Lovely Runner stand out from the crowd.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. There's a serial killer subplot that had me on the edge of my seat. And let me tell you, the final showdown? Talk about intense! Although, I gotta admit, the villain was a bit meh. But hey, you win some, you lose some.

And don't even get me started on the soundtrack! It's like they handpicked every song to perfectly match the mood of each scene. I found myself humming along to "Sudden Shower" for days after finishing the series.

Overall, *Lovely Runner* is like a warm hug on a rainy day. Sure, it's got its flaws, but the feels it gives you more than make up for it. So if you're in the mood for a fun, heartwarming drama that'll leave you smiling, give this one a shot! Trust me, you won't regret it.
