I have never written reviews of any kind. I've just read reviews and I swear I'm not those who tell that this is their first review for ppl to read their review. This is actually my first review and yes, I am writing this because its been so long since a kdrama made my heart throb so hard. I experienced all kinds of emotions while watching Lovely Runner. The last time I felt this was like 2 years back or something when I just started watching kdramas like Hwarang, Itaewon Class and Familiar Wife. Recent dramas like King The Land, Doctor Slump was just all copy paste of the same storyline. Have u ever watched masterpiece dramas like Secret (Ji Sung), True Beauty, Kill me Heal me (YESS I'M A JI SUNG FAN). These dramas are examples on how to make a perfect drama. Lovely Runner too adds to this list as it brought me solace during my tough times. I swear I'm still crying right now while writing this as I think about those moments which brought me peace during my exam stress. I finished watching the 16th episode today, 1 hour back and I am swooning with their osts right now. This drama was perfect with perfect visuals and nostalgic osts (N.Flying - Star, Eclipse - You & I, Eclipse - Sudden Shower, Deundeun Man - Super Ultra Man, UMJI (엄지) - May I Love You, Jong Ho – A Day, Jaeyeon (재연) – Monologue, 10 cm - Spring Snow, Minnie - Like a dream). Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Soo were perfect for this drama and they had such amazing names Ryu Sun Jae (sounds 🔥) and Im Sol (omg its sooooooooo cute). Its my first time seeing Byeon Woo Seok like this. I have seen him in different dramas before like in Record of Youth. Though I never remembered him until I checked through his drama list determined to find out where I've seen him because his face was a common face in different dramas as a support role. Actors like Kim Min Gi, Hwang Min Hyun, Kang Ki Young, N (VIXX) were ppl I knew were bound to success. But I actually never expected Byeon Woo Seok ever in a role like this and he's actually fucking handsome (u gotta watch this one) . Btw talking about Hwang Min Hyun, Byeon Woo Seok resembled Hwang Min Hyun a lot in the drama. At first when I saw Lovely Runner's trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgSynGkuo0k), I almost vomited (not literally) from the cringe scenes where she fangirls him. But then this drama after 2-3 weeks was all over my insta feed. So I thought of giving this a watch, trust me apart from some cringe scenes this drama was the best. I jumped, screamed, cried, laughed. When I just read about Byeon Woo Seok's hard works and struggles for this drama and his comment on his sudden success, I became more proud of him. He was destined for this role.
