Aww! tbh she hasn't watched a kdrama in over 10 years. We used to watch Boys Over Flowers, Coffee Prince, You're Beautiful, etc. together back when we were 13. I wouldn't shut up about Lovely Runner. I pretty much coerced her into watching it 😆 I told her LR was giving old school vibes and it would feel nostalgic. I had to sit and watch with her so she'd actually start! It was worth it!! ;)
You have an amazing online community!!

yess, coffee got me through the day! I have zero self-control, I'll probably do it again. Luckily I'll be wfh most of the week after tues. Happy watching ✨

pro: EST timezone > episodes drop at midnight!
con: sleeping at 2:30am and having to wake up at 5:30am for work 😭

Is there anything better than getting everyone around you watching Lovely Runner?

My bestie promised to watch LR when she got back from her trip. She delivered!! We only got to watch episode 1 and a bit of episode 2 together over the weekend. But I made her promise to finish at least episode 2 before calling it quits. She calls me just now over my lunch break to tell me that she partially blames me for adding to her jetlag (she just got back from Japan) and how she’s already on episode 9 🥺 Mission accomplished! I feel ecstatic. I love getting random texts about Sun Jae and Sol-a 💛💙

also, it is so addictive!!? I stayed up binge-watching this couple days ago. I told my sister about it and she tells me how she got no sleep last night because she was binge-watching lol

That rain scene on episode 17 was sooo good! I kept pausing it and re-watching 🥺

I am so baffled. So you’re telling me you hate Lovely Runner but STILL continue to come on this page on a regular basis just to read comments and proclaim your dislike? That’s some dedication 😂 Life is short, spend energy on things you like.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I find myself re-watching episode 14-16 more often than not. There is something about the adult-era 😌 The combo of enemies-to-lovers + star-crossed-lovers reuniting hits so hard. Episode 16 is such comfort. When can I move on?

Ah thanks for this! Romantic comedies in general probably don’t do too well among the critics. Unfair when it’s done so well. Anyway, I hope this opens the doors for KHY & BWS. I really think KHY has so much potential! I hope she gets the chance to shine, I can see her doing great things ✨✨

Although I’ve watched kdramas for a very long time, I never really paid attention to award ceremonies, nominations and such. I am curious, what are some of the most prestigious / popular awards? And most importantly, what are the chances of KHY & BWS winning something significant? I want them to do well (and LR in general ofcourse).

The re-watchable value is unparalleled! 💛💙
LR never prolonged the pain. The lightheartedness of it all makes you keep going back.
Back to Monday blues.

tbh I am still warming up to the drama, ep. 8 was the best episode yet. I will say that I am in love with the OST. Don't Forget About Me is sooo good!

On a personal level, I think there is a bit of a barrier when it comes to relatability. After school classes/academy-settings aren't really a thing in the education system I am familiar with. Interesting how it seems to consume a lot of people. I will continue to watch. There is a serious lack of things to watch these days.

LR is so comforting 🥺 I love picking up on tiny smiles/gazes I didn't notice before. It's v cute.

Good luck on your exams!! You got this ✨

I came home tipsy after a girls’ night and randomly started watching episode 15 while eating a shawarma at 3:30am… 😭 That’s how much I miss them 💛💙
How do I move on?

My girl deserves all the love 🥺💛
Incredibly excited to see all her future projects.

This should be the standard for rom-coms!!
Tbh a lot of romance dramas (actually most of them) get overly cheesy and quite cringe when the leads get together. Then the skip button comes out (it is what it is)

Then there is Lovely Runner — a total gem and a rarity! LR is so damn good because I was eating up every scene Sol & Seon Jae were together 💛💙 I wanted their romance. It felt so natural. I didn’t feel like I was forced to watch their budding romance. Instead of skipping, I was skipping backwards to watch again lol
And the comedy elements! It’s actually funny 🥺 Some scenes continue to be funny no matter how many times you’ve seen it. That almost never happens. Whereas in other dramas with comedic elements, I feel like I am forced to awkwardly laugh because it’s supposedly a “funny scene” but it’s not funny at all. I make the “😑” face and move on.

About You - The 1975

It was!! It was so memorable. And yess it was pouring in Toronto on Tuesday. I got rained on while grabbing takeout with my friend before we watched Lovely Runner together. Again, memorable 🥺

I went on a mission when I was writing my review for this 😂 I knew some of my comments were quite insightful so I went through my past notifications and started clicking on people's replies to my posts lol
Thanks @strawberrylotus🌼 for commenting on my post about the solar eclipse lol
It also helps that before LR I had a grand total of 3 comments I've made on MDL. I was always a lurker. Never commented on anything. That is until Lovely Runner. I have to hold myself back now 😭

I was curious about my first comment on this page. I went back to check & I said, “Was episode 1 released today (April 8th) intentionally?”🌘 (...good to know I was watching from day 1 lol)

I was fascinated over the fact that it was released on the day there was solar eclipse!! Little did I know, Lovely Runner and the OST would consume me soon afterwards 💛💙
