Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Ryu Seon-Jae (Byeon Woo-Seok) is a top star who has been in the spotlight since his debut. His life seems perfect, but being in the entertainment industry has completely worn him out. Meanwhile, Lim Sol (Kim Hye-Yoon) loves Ryu Seon-Jae as an adoring fan. When she was little, she had an accident. Due to that, she gave up on her dream, but listening to Ryu Seon-Jae’s song on the radio gave her comfort and she became his fan since then. One day, Lim Sol hears breaking news that Ryu Seon-Jae has ended his own life. She feels deep sadness over the tragic news. Miraculously, Lim Sol somehow travels back in time to 15 years in the past. There, she faces Ryu Seon-Jae, who is a 19 year old high school student. She struggles to prevent his tragic future.

Valerie wow i rate rhis a 10 star lovely couple lovely story hope to see them together in a new show ???????????

Sora People watching this need to understand Korean fan culture. I’m Sol is a devoted fan of Seon Jae. Her love for him was never romantic and her trying to save him had nothing to do with romantic love. She’s a fan girl who wanted to save him. Because his words gave her the will to live when she wanted to die. Perhaps watch Her Private Life first to understand fangirl love, before watching this drama. While Seon Jae was already in love with her, Im Sol didn’t start developing romantic feelings for him until much later in the drama and even then she wasn’t sure of what she was feeling.

Not understanding this could make you hate this drama. People who get it, will enjoy this drama.

BrooklynNoona I didn’t know much about this drama before I watched it. I simply watched because of the female lead who I liked from Extraordinary You, and the male lead who I’d been looking out for since seeing him in Record of Youth (I kept wishing he’d get a lead role because he had male lead energy). The first 10mins of this drama made me stay. My favorite character is Sol’s mother. This woman can command a scene. What a presence she has! She had me in tears without her saying a word. This show has more than the popularity of the lead actor’s going for it. And if you watch it as a whole entity and not just for the romance, this drama is a 10/10 for sure.

Love every minute of it and will return to it over and over again each year. Lovely drama.

Bobby Chua Watched this drama and starts forwarding from episodes 10 onwards. Find it lengthy and could have shorten to 12 episodes instead of 16. Many unnecessary scenes, flashbacks etc. Lost my interest after episode 10 and finds it trying to be too cute.

Sky Just finished watching it and wondered why I haven't seem it since. It has been on my list forever but never watched it. After watch perfect Crown I was referred back and I have to say I love it.

Hishi What a stupid drama.. started watching only because byeon woo seok is there and his acting is soo good!!! But what’s with this character sol??!! Such a dull character with so much negativity!! Came until 14th episode with patience just to see her push sun jae back more and more as she has been doing the whole drama… 16 episodes and we still have not got a proper dating era!? Such a bad last few episodes, not to mention the kidnapper story is too repetitive in every episode!!? Like police keep catching him and he get out of jail and what’s this loop!???

karyll Why am I so late in watching Lovely Runner? ? I haven't finished it yet but I feel so connected with the drama having experienced the same traumatic accident in 2008 and Im Sol wearing that 1987 shirt! wow ...

❤️❤️❤️

Arya Will forever be one of my fave kdramas. I rewatch this every April and still feel the same. I still cry bucket of tears and laugh a lot. I really love how the drama was beautifully written, the time slips are carefully thought of. KHY never disappoints, really. I could never picture out Im Sol other than her. The tandem with BWS is chef’a kiss. Both are very perfect for each other, I mean very perfect portraying Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae. We’ll see you again next year, Sol-a Sunjae-ya ?

Tanira I really enjoyed this drama. A friend recommended it to me as something to watch daily, and I’m so glad she did. The story is engaging, and Sol and Sunjae’s journey really pulled me in. I found myself getting attached to them along the way. The characters are well developed and feel very real. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good drama.

Kyles While the chemistry is there undeniably, this series could have ended on episode 1-10. Reiterations of the past and present made me lose interest. Perhaps I prefer the slice of life dramas. But Woo Seok is devilishly handsome ugh

Vee I was having hard time and thought of watching this drama, didn’t expect how much I’ll cry on the first 10 mins of this show. I relate to her and cant help myself crying on that scene. Thanks for this drama, it made me laugh, I really needed it.

Yeruchii This kdrama is just wondeful. It destroyed all other and upcoming kdramas for me. It raised the bar so high that everything just pales and will pale in comparison. I can't move on and I don't want to either huhu

Aparna Dubey This drama is too good and i realy like i have watched all episod 2 times great and actors are so good

Laura Sadly I couldnt watch more than 2 episodes really not my thing

Luna "This drama is too juvenille", "I'm too old to relate" Lollll..... I wonder how old were these commenters age? I mean, I am (almost) 35, but many parts of the drama are relates to adult struggle, especially mental health. The first episode are quite triggering (when you haven't found out yet that actually Sunjae was murdered, not s* word). And I love on how the writer never forced "adult behaviour" in the story because most of adults I know are "never act they age". This should be normalize actually! Because the only thing that change as we get older is our perspective, knowledge and the realization that age is only numbers.

Actually I watch this drama by coincidence. I was never thought that LR would carry quite heavy plot and rise some serious issues, because the flyer looks quite cringy and "romcom typical". But I got hooked when they give the viewers plot twist at the end of ep 2! And as it is a "Romantic Comedy" genre, the plotlines centered really well on the main topic (as it should be). I really love how the cast could pull out their micro expressions on every comical situations, especially Sunjae and Inhyuk *rofl! And I love how the cast could manage to differentiate their acting on their teenager timeline vs their adulthood ones, but still keeps intact their basic character. One thing that I love the most is, how the drama could hooked viewers up to activelly participate by guessing the storyline and making theories! Maybe that's one of the big factors why LR could so hype up. Oh, how I wish this drama never ends! T,T

Overall, LR is superb!

Jamcuuk Here we go again, the comedy is great but for the plot itself, too forced

momo I have watched it 3 times already and I can't get enough. Everything about lovely runner is perfection! Definitely my favorite couple! Where to find a guy like Sun Jae aaah?!!!!

dud this might be the first drama where the main character solve the big problem by doing nothing. well, I guess it's not really nothing because it took some effort to avoid the male lead

Lim kim “Lovely Runner” is definitely one of the most Satisfying K-drama romcoms! Let’s be honest, romcoms are the genre where K-dramas truly shine, and this one absolutely delivers. ???

The attention to detail, the perfect comedic timing, and the poetic connections across different timelines are all so well done. Even though there’s nothing entirely new under the sun, this drama still feels incredibly fresh. ??

Of course, like any time-travel drama, it’s not flawless, but it surpasses expectations in so many ways. Who would have thought a show about a parasocial idol relationship could tug at your heartstrings so deeply?

The cast was spot on, the pacing was great, and it didn’t try too hard to be overly complicated—it’s just perfectly balanced as a fun, beautiful, and nostalgic experience. Looking back at their iconic scenes (and the songs!! OMG), this will definitely be a K-drama classic for years to come.

Nsa I don't like this drama at first cause of male lead, but the female lead makes me love this drama. I love her acting, her acting makes me laugh and sad sometimes. That's why, their writer choose her to be im sol, you did well the writer. But the male lead, i think he need to improve his acting better, i don't know why he got daesang awards maybe cause of his popularity.

rizu this drama is so funny haha

stella I started watching the show much later because I thought it was just like any other romcom with light-hearted plots like most k-romcoms. But damn was I wrong, this was nothing like most k-dramas, there was so many emotional scenes and the actors were all really well casted as well. They all were good at acting and their appearance all fits the role very well.

Nabi One of the best things about this drama is casting. Every role was perfectly cast. Plus, Kim Hye Yoon is the only one who could've played the role of Im Sol. I love this drama. It's so good and so well done. I've already rewatched this drama 3 times and ready for a 4th round. I'm also glad it has helped to make Byeon Woo-Seok a global star. After seeing him in Record of Youth I thought, "he needs a major lead role. He's just too good-looking to play second leads".

Marissa I tried to watch this drama because of the popularity, but the story was nothing special, ordinary, the one that keep me watch this drama until the end was the female lead acting, her acting was so good, looks real. For lead male, he need to learn more about acting.

HanaN Lovely Runner is a masterpiece that stands out as one of the most remarkable K-dramas of 2024. With its captivating storyline, brilliant character development, and flawless execution, it takes the viewer on an emotional journey like no other.

Never compare this drama with other genres like thriller, romance, and so on because it is truly different. From episode 1, this drama presents scenes that never get boring. There is no scene that feels unnecessary. Everything is connected, one scene leading to the next. For example, the part where Sunjae's father and Mak Imsol argue about the rented DVD. At first, I wondered why they were bickering about the DVD—it didn’t seem relevant... I even admit I skipped that part. But by the end of episode 2, it becomes clear that it was Sunjae who borrowed the DVD, but because he was nervous facing the beautiful Imsol, he grabbed the DVD and put his father’s name as the one who rented it. When this happened, I finally understood the writer’s intention. So after episode 2, I never skipped even a minute of the duration because I was afraid of missing what the writer and director wanted to convey.

The emotions displayed by Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok are also excellent. They’re precise and perfectly timed, showing a range of emotions. How many dramas can make you feel deeply sad one moment and then burst out laughing the next?

The performances by all the cast, particularly Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok, are nothing short of outstanding, capturing the essence of their characters with remarkable depth and nuance.

As an international K-drama fan, I started watching K-dramas as early as 2001. For many years, I’ve watched various genres, and I can proudly say that LOVELY RUNNER is the best drama I’ve ever watched. The storyline doesn’t repeat, but this drama itself makes me watch it over and over again, something I’ve never done before. Usually, even if I like a drama, I will watch it at most three times, and that’s spread out over a longer period. But even six months after finishing this drama, I’m still in the phase of K-drama depression... I’ve watched it more than five times over the past six months ? Lovely Runner also captures moments beautifully. The cinematography is simply breathtaking, beautifully complementing the tone and emotions of every scene and an original soundtrack that perfectly matches the scenes.

The carefully curated original soundtrack enhances the viewing experience, with each song perfectly matched to its corresponding moment, making the drama even more memorable. You can tell which song is specifically for the male lead and which one is for the kissing scene between the two characters. All the OSTs of Lovely Runner are so pleasant to listen to. I’ve never been this fond of the entire OST of a drama before. Usually, it’s just one or two songs that catch my attention. Thank you, Lovely Runner, for having such a big impact on my life. The days I spent watching Lovely Runner were beautiful. To the haters, there’s no need to spread negativity about Lovely Runner because you’ll never understand the storyline. This is definitely not a genre you should watch ?

What truly sets Lovely Runner apart is its ability to balance heartfelt moments with light-hearted humor, making it a perfect blend of emotion and entertainment. It’s a drama that stays with you long after the final episode, proving that it is, without a doubt, the best drama of 2024 !

Ralf Too confusing, back and forth in time. I quit after 5 episodes.

rain im on ep 3 and like it’s been so long I haven’t watched K-rom genre and this got me so hooked both main casts are my favorites so it’s a plus good thing it’s completed so i can pinned watch

Camille Thank you for this Masterpiece kdrama this is my favorite kdrama of the year 2024. Hoping for another masterpiece and same actor Kimhyeyoon and Byeon Woo Seok.

Anie skuuk Thank you, Ryu Sunjae, for coming into our lives.

Shri The first time a drama ever had so much effect on me. I love the characters her story. Lovely Runner was exactly the kind of K-Drama I will always prefer over an genre that is romance and mystery. It was the perfect blend. I was just into the intial stages of it's hype like just a month after the drama ended, I joined in. Not much avid watcher of K-Drama, I thought of giving it a try. It was worth the hype. I loved it. It had comedy, emotions and love. The actor and actress were both amazing. They portrayed the role amazingly. For me, this will forever remain a special thing. Thank you to the whole team of LR for making such a amazing K-Drama ❤

Dramalover One of the bestest drama of 2024 after all this month I can't move this from this drama it is my all time number 1 most favourite drama and I love kim hyeyoon soooooo much I wish success for all her upcoming projects❤️❤️

whattodo I dropped it at ep 5. I tried to finish because I wanted to know what the hype was about but no I couldn't.I liked the 2nd male lead more his acting felt more natural. I liked Hyeyoon acting before but here her acting felt forced. For Byeon Woo Seok I didn't watch his dramas before so this was a first for me but he needs to get acting lessons asap. I think he has a long way to go in terms of acting. I thought he was stiff in his expression and in his acting.I don't hate the drama or the actors/actresses. I don't really care about them. Also, I wouldn't say I liked QOT so don't tell me I'm here bc of that lol.

.... i loved this movie but i want more......

Kdramarama I came back here because even after almost 5 months since the drama ended, I am still in the drama slump I watched all other dramas but it keeps reminding me on how good and tight the writing in lovely runner. How impaccable the chemistry between the leads. Lovely Runner you really ruin other romcom kdrama for meee

Jin I really try hard to watch this but can’t really relate. I dropped this in episode 5., the female lead is so overacting and dont like the chemistry at all. This is just for those teenagers who love a very cringe childish drama

Tsundere Love their chemistry, both are cute. More romance drama for them. They are both great actors. Please do more.

Lady Cat Song Geon Hee (Kim Taesung) is the only reason why I finish this drama til the last episode. I dont hate the drama or the other actors/actreses, but this drama is just a cringe/corny boring unreal kind of show. I feel too old to relate to the idea of the story. But the figure of Kim Taesong made me fall in love with him. Thats it. And I'm thankful to whoever brought Geonhee to this drama

Angela Dropped this drama at ep 2. The strory was too booring, cringe and plain. I don't get it why this drama was so popular.

goni finished this because of wooseok and geonhee. I dont usually write reviews but i just need spit out my feels so i can move on

Story wouldve been tolerable if the casting was perfect. Not hating on hyeyoon because she's good in other dramas, but this was not it. Her acting made the drama cringe, can blame the director for this :/ there's no chemistry. And they dont look good physically together. They shouldve chosen a different female lead. Too bad

Troika Lovely Runner seriously what did you do to me??? even with the outflow of new Kdramas in the past few weeks I still cannot help but to rewatch you insteadd?? Man it is so rare that we have not one or two romcom dramas over the weekend but four dramas but all I can think about is still how tight and beautiful LR writing was. Somebody please send helpp!

lebah ganteng There are numerous plot holes:

1. How is Geum able to buy a lottery ticket and win, while Sol is going back to her high school years?

2. Tae Sung should also have déjà vu memories like Seon Jae since Sol is also going back to high school, visiting In Hyuk’s home and know about Kim Young Soo, the kidnapper.

Starlight Express Dropped it halfway. I really wanted to like it but I can't. Too corny and juvenile for me. :-(

KST Watched this only for Byeon woo seok. Firstly I thought to skip this drama but anyhow managed to watch this because of Seok. Otherwise I wont watch this.Really annoying acting of Kim hye yoon.Anyhow story was not bad!

Pia The story is disappointing.. I don't know why Im sol always have to cry every episode.. She knows who's the killer she always go there to change the story.. For me it's a waste of time watching this.

Giji I Love The Drama!!! one of 2024 highlight, definitely deserve more ratings, every episode is fun. Love kim hye yoon and byeon woo seok's chemistry. Female lead is very very good! The acting feels so real making the fantasy genre believable. First time to become a fan of a korean actress.

Kelly Started out cute but become boring towards the end. It was repetitive and suddenly, I wasn't feeling the chemistry of the two leads anymore. I was feeling giddy at the first few episodes, but have lost interest until the end. I Still managed to finish it though but i wasnt attentive to it anymore. Maybe i liked the high school sun jae and im sol better. Just my opinion. This drama is just really a matter of tastes and preference.

LOL The story is good but there is also lot of cringeness and plain stupidity.. i must say this series is seriously overated.. and the female lead is seriously annoying and cringe, she always play annoying daughter character for a reason..

Ddeonu I just finished watching this drama. Honestly, this drama is the best. All the storylines, all the casts in this drama and the plot of this drama are very good, exciting, funny and not boring at all.I really like it. Byeon Woo Seok, I like your acting in this drama. He is very good at playing his character, he doesn't look stiff at all. Especially Hyeyoon, honestly I like her more in this drama. D The acting is good and always makes me laugh. Honestly, at first I was not interested in watching this drama. Even though this drama is very viral. I watched this drama because I was forced to because I had no more dramas to watch. So I watched this drama. And my review is 100/10. Very good. Highly recommended

lalaland Byeon woo seok! heart heart. great chemistry. fun and love!!

Honestly 5/10

Really light. Suitable to waste time. Very predictable plot. Also the story about the kidnapper… was so useless

fangirl this drama is a gem. i love all of it. i want to treasure the feeling of watching it the first time.this drama is ?

Yeruchii Lovely Runner saved me from depression. Most of you can't relate but it became my solace whenever I'm feeling like I'm at the end of my wits.

oswinist one day I was just mindlessly scrolling and ended up on byeon woo seok's page where I found his next project then proceeded to read the synopsis. didn't even have a poster and English name appart from the original name yet. it immediately peaked my interest so I put a pin on this one. now I finally have watched and I have mixed opinions.

I found the first episode one of the best first episodes I've ever watched; it was very emotional and meaningful, tugged on my heartstrings as if I was watching characters I've been following for a while. I think the aspect of idol and fan, one that is very close to my heart as I am a fan of many artists (and worry about their well-being a lot), was what brought so much emotion and closeness to the experience. the first part, where she is a fan trying to get close to him and prevent his fate was very enjoyable in every aspect. I loooooved the humour and her laid-back and detached interactions with taesung and I liked her interactions with sung jar; it was fun and fresh. appart from the first episode, another commendable thing was the confession scene with him saying in the recording and him in real time saying something of the sort in front of her, it was new and I liked very much!!

but then, when she went back to the future and they met again and sealed the romance, weirdly, the magic started to fade in my eyes, then I thought, what now? we still have tons of episodes to go! by her second time going back to the past, the story started to get repetitive, their dynamic wasn't as fun and interesting anymore to me (as now she isn't a fan trying to save her idol but a girlfriend trying to save her boyfriend and that didn't appeal too much as she tried and tried to push him away and he kept insisting, like, I totally get it and it makes sense, specially for her, but it wasn't as fun to watch as their dynamic in the first part), episodes and scenes dragged a little for me (nothing catastrophic, but I started getting bored; I usually complain about romances that the writers don't develop enough but funnily enough with this one I felt they were stretching too much and the butterflies didn't fly on my stomach anymore.), the crime arc got on my nerves, not because it was executed too badly but because it was boring and annoying as hell, and as the series progressed it got more and more boring. felt that those falling and catching scenes were used Way Too Much. like, I've watched my fair share of kdramas and I've never seen this being so overused. by the, like, third scene like this in a short period of time, instead of being nervous and in love I was rolling my eyes.

last part of the story was the most boring one, the dynamic was even less magical than before and I was powering through the episodes to end it. I also felt a little turned off by the overtly cutesy tone and attitude im sol started to have, I mean, it's ok to be cute but it felt a little too childish for a 33 year old to constantly act like that (maybe a mistake on the directing of the series, like they forgot she was old because she spent too much time wearing a high school uniform). a nitpick of mine as well was to be a little weirded out (this thought popped in my head by the university arc) with her being a 33 year old and falling in love with his teenager version, but it's not that bad, at that point I was just a little tired of her antics. I've seen a lot of posts commending this series because of "men written by women" and indeed it felt like it was but not in such a good way people think; I felt like they exaggerated a ton of aspects and clichés that appeal to women/it's common idealisations of women (the female gaze of sorts) but to such degree it started feeling flat or unnatural (like sung jae profound devotion to im sol despite everything, to the point he couldn't even engage in relationships in his adult life or like why did she mean So Much to him in the original timeline when they didn't even interact and the crush was merely platonic and because of a very small reason, or his behaviour in general feels like a boy created in a girls mind and not a real boy/man etc).

all in all, not the worst experience of my life, acting was pretty good, ost pretty good, byeon woo seok is a surprisingly good singer. it was throughly enjoyable at some parts, others not so much and I wish they would show a little more from the boys together and their friendship because taesung and sungjae scene on the karaoke and inhyuk caring for them was really fun, but it's ok. not the best, but not the worst by any means.

Esha Loved the drama. Deserve the hype...ryu sun jae and Im sol ???

Kdch Love this drama a lo! love sunjae and imsol so much... ❤️❤️❤️. Good chemistry, Best drama in 2024!!!

Annie This drama is really gets on my nerves. I will give 50 points only for the romance, but for the conflict is ugh -_- .... like, if you know that your life in danger then you should be more careful, at least as human you should have such as sense of danger. I know the writer want to put so much drama in it, but despite get suspense in it meanwhile it gets like pabo character for me.

Nn I just watched it, and I stopped at episode 4, even though I used 2X speed, I haven't found anything interesting in this drama, I'm thinking whether I can finish it or not, LOL sorry, but this is my opinion

Namie One of my favorite kdrama.. the plot is predictable... the twisr so twistyyyy... love how tha character.. love sunjae so much... love the way imsol bring the character..

And now Iam ryu sunjae big fans!!!!!!

Forgive me wooseok ssi to recognize you in here... I watched record of youth.. I watch namsoon.. but I fell for you in lovely runner...

Imsol thankyou to loving sunjae.. bcs of you I fell in love to him

Tol Despite my initial excitement for "Lovely Runner," I found the series ultimately disappointing. The plot felt predictable and lacked the engaging twists that make a drama captivating. The characters, though portrayed by talented actors, were underdeveloped and failed to evoke much emotional investment. The pacing was uneven, with some episodes dragging on without significant progress. While the cinematography and soundtrack were commendable, they couldn't compensate for the overall lackluster narrative and weak character arcs. "Lovely Runner" had potential, but it fell short of delivering a memorable viewing experience.

Bee just coming back again to say i love this drama and i miss the excitement of looking forward to new episodes everty monday and tuesdays. i loved the cast and this has been my favorite from tvn this year. the cast ateee and i loved the warmth that this drama made me feel.

pratacan Romantic, funny drama.. lovely couple, good chemistry for the actor & actress ! ❤❤

Sylvanus Stella The best K-drama of the year, 2024.... !!!

hgeonni we have been seeing BWS a couple of times in cameo, second lead and main lead. He nailed it in this drama. I've rewatch three times in a row!

Semarjitu Lovely Runner, it's pretty wierd kdrama of 2024, there's some good scene, and there's some cliche story too. Overall it's not a bad one, but not really enjoyable too, if you like rom-com genre, you can try it out 2-3 episode and decide if you like it.

NJN Byeon Woo-Seok nailed it.first saw him in "strong girl namsoon". And he took 180 turn in this drama.he is so rich in expressions.loved his acting very much.waiting for his new drama very eagerly.

spaghettimuncher78 The best romance drama made in 2024.

maria First of all Congratulation Lovely Runner. To be honest I was taking a back whether or not I’d watch this romcom drama, thank god I did not skip I am now completely hooked up with onscreen offscreen chemistry of BWS and KHY. i have been watching Kdrama for many years I never in my life been a fan or shipped onscreen couple but this two made me want them to be real life couple. There is something with BWS and KHY that made me fall in love not just drama but also offscreen chemistry. nevertheless I am rooting for this two blossoming actor and actress. I will forever love this two.

Soljai I enjoy watching this drama though there’s some moment where I felt it’s becoming so redundant.

I just thought this drama was like a collection of scenarios from a story board presentations or story conference where the writers and the producers and all involved can’t decide which one will work but they loved it all so they decided to incorporate time travel so they could use it all those scenarios, anyway they were in control. Like Erika said it was full of cliche here and there but it was effective for their own good.

Mia The ost is keep replaying in my head over and over again ? how to make it stop.. anyway i enjoyed this drama, it is very light so for those who want to watch funny drama, this will be recommended.. all of the actors play their roles very well ?? miss them already ?

Erika Love it!

Although they tried to muck it up with cliche scenes (flashbacks, slow catches, so-so side murderer plot), they couldn't make you Lovely Runner.

What I think they got right: -Choosing the Perfect cast! Byeon Woo-Seok is the most IN LOVE man I've seen a in while!

-We got an awesome setup episode that really opened up the world we were joining.

-We got introduced to the mystery aspect pretty early on so it wasn't just thrown in there hastily -A original story with a non original theme (time travel) -No awkward skinship -very nice ost -comedy (I had hoped they'd continue to poke fun at clichés like when the friend was dropping petals from the roof, but see below)

What I would mildly critique them on -Hye-Yoon really got to show some acting skills but I think the writers did too much having Sol Cry in 75% of her scenes.

-They quickly abandoned the cute ending scene where we see something change in the future at the end of the episode (the photo appearing on the table) -With such good writing for the main characters, it was disappointing to see the same "older brother / sister's best friend" relationship play out the same as countless other dramas.

-As mentioned, they really went out of their way to include those overused elements that all k-romances use.... I can forgive the 8 umbrella scenes because at least the rain was built as plot device.

It seems like I have more negatives but that's just not true. This was really a good drama if you're looking for some romance. You will feel the swoon all over because the leads were very believable as in love.

Anya This drama crazily popular, but the rating is low, how can? ?? However, I watch this drama bcuz of Kim hye Yoon and it turns out the story is interesting. And first time knowing byun woo Seok. Thanks God they are a match from heaven

Mango Love the acting, love sun jae's relatable and cute character but hate the comical exaggerations and im sol's insufferable stupidity.

There are so many parts of the drama that are just lacking in logic and common sense. I get that these are all for the plots but my Blood Pressure just rises whenever something like this pops up. For instance im sol knows that she is going to be kidnapped and chased by the car. I can understand that 15 y/o im sol is utterly shocked so she instinctively runs infront of the car even though she cant outrun the car and is instead putting herself in danger of getting chased down by the kidnapper or worse, ran over. But 30 y/o im sol has the memory of the scene, the time and ability to prepare for different scenarios and plans, and to avoid the same mistakes. And she was given two chances to go back in time but aside from removing his car keys, she does the same thing again and again and sun jae has to rescue her both times. Additionally, when im sol says something about the future, time stops for everyone else. She has used this to her advantage when she hides from sun jae's dad and runs into sunjae's room yet she does not use it when escaping the kidnapper. Why???? ???? cos sun jae has to save her? Also the comical exaggerations are so deliberate and out of hand that it stops getting funny. E.g. Im geum and hyun ju getting chased by im sol and sun jae when im geum, the big brother, can literally just scold im sol and sun jae like he always does and ask them to get out of the house. Also im geum getting tased because im sol closed her eyes and just tased anyone. wow, it is so im sol to do that.

There are also some loopholes in the drama, especially the time travel. Time is supposed to stop when im sol says something about the future yet when she tells him that he is going to be famous/a singer he is able to hear it?? Also sun jae is injured in his left shoulder but isnt heavily injured when the kidnapper repeatedly kicks or punch him there. The writers are just blatantly overriding all logic and common sense as long they can achieve their desired plot which is just so frustrating to see. Sun jae's character is this drama's saving grace. Besides Byun Woo Seok's visuals, everything sun jae does is logical and his comical and cute moments are actually funny and real.

YKdrama I think people should appreciate Lovely Runner for what it is, a nostalgic romcom about fated lovers.

Would it delivers a super sophisticated time travelling sci-fi intricacy like you would expect from Nolan’s movies, of course not. Would the story give you a nuanced motives from the serial killer so that you would understand his motives? What for? The writer knows that these are not the tropes that they should focus on so they poured in all their effort to make sure what is important in this genre delivered with respect and boy they carried this up to the finish line.

I have lost count on how many times I have rewatched the drama, and each time I always find myself appreciating the storyline even more. It is fascinating on how the writer, the directors and all the cast nails every single parallel with a chef’s kiss. Think about it, in the first timeline we see Im Sol, who was unaware of Highschool Seon Jae, completely unaware that she was his first love and his hit song was actually about her. And in the last timeline we have Seon Jae who is unaware of the fact that he was her first love and that her first script was actually made based on her story with him.

Not to mention all the detailed set up that left quite a lasting impression, I mean I will never see yellow umbrella not thinking about Im Sol or seeing that Casio watch without thinking Seon Jae.

Finally the OST, I have a high appreciation for the level of care the team has put in thinking the OST, the lyrics and even the timing of the release of such OST so that some particular scenes will stick with you when you hear that song. I applaud their effort for making these came to life and especially knowing that the series was an underdog, even Netflix and Studio Dragon not willing put their money behind it so kudos the entire cast and crew!!

Oppa I cant believe i spent $5 for this. Waste of time and money.

ABCD I can’t count how many times I comeback in this page for Lovely Runner. I’m surprised and at the same time not surprised with new comments. I’m not surprised that many would say there are plot holes in this series. There are plenty of them actually. But I’m surprised that many people called this drama overhyped. Maybe yes, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. And if you’re someone binged watched it after the series ended there will be differences to those who watched it from episode 1 up until it ended. The joy of waiting each week is sooo exciting and different. It aired on Monday and Tuesday schedule, many people like me hated Monday but it became something to look forward to! It’s not a perfect and well made drama, there’s a lot of cliches but Imsol and Sunjae hits different and made it more different if you watch their behind the scenes. I’m someone who can’t still move on from LR. Let me sleep. Hope you enjoy watching and for those rewatching, I’m with yah

Not a fan Everything was still acceptable till ep 9. Why did the FL need to avoid the ML when she time traveled back? I don’t understand at all! Did she forget they have both acknowledged & accepted their relationship at ep 8! I doubt I wana continue watching. Disappointed storyline. Pity the good acting by the cast though. My fav character is Hye Ju! She is really comical & cute!

Marcus Excellent drama but whoever decided to name it "Lovely Runner" should be sacked. 16 episodes and I still don't understand what the name means? Is it to do with kidnapping the guy and running? Cause that's stupid. Using the original titles would have been way better, "Best of Tomorrow" or "Tomorrow's Best", cause y'know, it's about her trying to create a better future? Lovely Runner? Imagine if CLOY was called "Lovely Landing" ? smh. Anw loved the drama but tbh they could have ended it after ep 8, they kept reusing the same plot device to stretch it out, but I was fine with that.

KEN 10/10? I fell in love with everything in the drama, the cast, OSTs and the storyline. This drama is actually my comeback in this so called 'kdrama binge world' after almost 4 years of hiatus.

Bee 10/10 . I got the feel of what OG kDramas used to be like. i enjoyed the chemistry and romance between the leads and the friendship with their friend groups in their teenage years. At some point in the series i got skeptical about witnessing a lot of timetravel and the storyline getting too complicated but that never happened even though i saw the drama as they aired episodes weekly. this is one of those dramas that age well and stay timeless. Also, I saw 20th Century Girl after this but I would recommed seeing this movie before Lovely Runner because I couldn't take Woo-Soek seriously when he tried playing mean, haha. Also he killed his role as Si-Oh. Im Sol carried as well, her smile and voice. The series was perfectly cast in my opinion

Fey finished it in 3 days and i still cant stop smiling !!!! its more than idol and fan love story. romance, melodrama, comedy is packed beautifully. Different choice cause different event in different timeline is reasonable. and the acting of all cast just WOW !! i hope all cast received much love for their hardwork

Fad I know this is just a drama but seriously Im Sol is one of the most stupidest person. Like if you already given a vision, why she need to recreate the scene back. Plus, if she tell her family in first place it can save both her and Seon Jae. Thankfully the detective told her family. She already know SJ going to do extra mile for her but instead trying to save him, she put much more dangerous situation to both of them. Quite stupid character. If I were the owner of time travel, the moment she decided to stay back at Busan, I definitely send her back to her first situation where she disabled. 2 times giving chances but useless. Haiyaaa

for my review for whole drama, the drama is just like another typical romcom kdrama, no special about it. There several eps I skip a lot as too cliche and draggy.

S This drama has the same vibe with “The business proposal”. A must watch especially when you just want to feel relax. My Minday won’t be complete without this drama. I’m having extreme sepanx until now. Glad that this drama is being recognized internationally. It is well-written and well-directed and the Casting?!! Just wow. (But I still wanna know the reason why the villain has that motive) Hye Yoon & Woo Seok Chemistry Is Reallly A Bomb!!!!! Drama that Netflix regretted for not acquiring it. Hye Yoon, glad that you’re really getting the love and fame that you deserve.

Yeruchii This drama got me out of my slump. This now became my all time favorite previously held by Extraordinary You. SolSun and Hye Yun-Woo Seok is my happy pill these days. Whenever I feel down, I'll come back to this drama.

scully Typical kdrama but it’s good and cute! Plus the FL and ML’s chemistry was top tier! However, the killer’s story was just so mehh?? He’s just there..trying to kill Im sol and anyone else without us knowing his motive?? The directors should have put more depth into that

PS: can kdrama directors stop making the actors fly in the air for a long time whenever they’ve been hit by a car or something T__T cuz it’s so ridiculous hahaha

Sunjae #1 defender this pairing gotta be one of the best on-screen chemistry i’ve seen so far in kdramaland. they truly deserves all the praises <3

other people might disagree but personally i love it so much. i 100% get all the hypes. kudos to every single ones involved in this drama!

Cessile The best drama of 2024 (so far)!!! The epitome of comfort drama for me. Will be coming back to rewatch it every time i’m feeling down.

Byeon Wooseok deserves all the praises! Can’t wait to see his next projects, I really hope he chooses it wisely.

I like Im Sol Those who get it. Get it. And those who don’t. Don’t.

Yeruchii I am battling withdrawal from this drama. Damn I dunno if anything can ever surpass Lovely Runner for me. This is a winner. Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yun are equally brilliant actors. They are exploding with chemistry I have never seen before. Whoever casted them deserves an exemplary award. This drama can pull you out of boredom, depression and perhaps give world peace lmao. It's that good! I Seriously Hope That The Leads Date In Real Life Aaaahhh

Koikie Lovely Runner is truly lovely ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I never thought I'm going to watch this. Just thought another typical kdrama. But, the poster is all over the place and I need a drama with good ending. It's been so long since I last watched Kim Hye-yoon and I miss her. I've watched most of Byun Woo-seok drama so I have an idea how he would do.

Boy, I'm so relief. This drama exceeded my expectation. All the ingredients of typical kdrama is there. And it's from True Beauty writer who tend to make her characters look over the top expression but just like it, they're not annoying. It's enjoyable. Supporting roles and cameos have their own quality time.

The leads are good together. They're so lovely. This drama make me smile and laugh the whole run.

p/s: but why Kim Hye-yoon always with very tall leading man

Yeruchii This is beautiful.

I thought nothing can ever replace Extraordinary You and Kingdom for me but this has easily crashed those two aside and became my all time favorite. There is always something that never satisfied me in a kdrama but this has hit all the right spot. No dull moments, no skippable scenes, nothing to make you turn the other way. It makes you look forward to every episode and hooks you tighly. It will make you focus and gripple your seat like no other.

Also let me commend the leads. This has been the first time I was introduced to Byeon Woo Seok. I never expected anything from him since I thought he was just another facecard like Cha Eun Woo and Hwang Min-Hyun but boy was I surprised. He HAS the skills to back his face. I always, always go for the acting in kdramas rather than the looks and my guy nailed every breath, every swipe, every tiny trivial movements in his character. His adlibs were on point and fits his character. I really liked how he differentiated and puts color to his highschool, college, singer and actor personas but still has a touch of his Sun Jae roots. He's so comfortable with Kim Hye Yun. I have never seen such a convincing kdrama couple. These two are exploding with Chemistry. Mind you, I have watched other popular kdramas with real life couples but nothing can compare to how this two can make you feel.

Kim Hye Yun, I was never wrong to stan her since Extraordinary You. I followed her to all her dramas from Sky Castle to Secret Royal Inspector & Joy. I was always hungry for her acting and she fed me right with this one I am so proud of her. I hope she gets more lead roles. She is a hidden gem. The way she characterize her personas are so distinct and changes with every role. She and Byeon Woo Seok complements each other. They know how to pin every facial expression, every turn, every step, their eyes alone can tell stories. I have nothing but praises for these two.

Let's not forget the writer, whoever you are I thank you for sharing such masterpiece to the rest of the world.

I never wanted this to end aaahhh. I never rewatch any drama in my life but I'm going to for this one. Lovely Runner, is perfection.

RJ Not about the drama, just FYI ... You list Han Sang-Chul (1971) as both Ryu Seon-Jae's Uncle and Aunt. Otherwise, great job on all your drama write-ups ... Thumbs Up!!

Lily The best kdrama all the time. Love fl & ml .

Arinola Too over hyped how is it different from twinkling watermelon,I would even prefer twinkling watermelon to lovely runner

Kriss For me, this drama helped me get the feeling of looking forward for days to come. Before I knew this drama I felt bored as days were passing. I just got separated from my previous job and looking for a new job which will suit my preferences and not able to get a job yet was worrying me as the days were passing by. However, this drama is helping me ease the feeling boredom and worries. I like the feeling of trying harder to achieve my goal that was when I learned that KHY's journey until she became a main lead actress.patience was the key to her success. I like her really since Extraordinary You and I like her more in Lovely Runner. She is a versatile actress and very good as an actress indeed! She really can show different emotions. She's naturally pretty and smart too. She has class. Hope she gets more projects. Keep on fighting for your career!

mett I can leave kdrama even the cast is superstar. this kdrama isn't overhype..this kdrama can innovate the plot of romcom that usually climax in eps 11-13 but they can build chemistry in the whole eps

Jew I love the Bwoseok not the ugly boing FL. Said series is too much hype... Hope Bwoseok will get a project that challenges his acting.

adorkablejoon Literally The Best Drama I've Ever Watched Omg??? like you probably think this is just a basic time travel drama whatsoever, but to me this is 10/10! the comfort drama that i always look forward to, even the behind making videos. can we talk about how the characters fit so well with the actors? also, standing applause for to kim hyeyoon! she fits perfectly for imsol & her acting is no doubt so goood! everytime she cries, i could feel her pain & sorrow too and it makes me wanna cry as well. she's super good!

and I heard some actors denied playing the role ryu sunjae but then byeon wooseok took this role, i just wanna say thanks for denying the role to those actors because wooseok is just so perfect as sunjae! <3

total 100/10 from me! you should watch this. truly a masterpiece and i could never describe how much i love this drama.

it's been days since the drama ended, but i still can't move on.. yet </3 too many memories with sol & sunjae T___T

please watch!! super duper recommended you won't regret it.

Cha If someone asks me about my favorite kdrama, I would say it's "Lovely Runner" without hesitation. Lovely Runner is truly a masterpiece i truly love everything about this drama.

Too far It's too far when you wish this drama win Baeksang just because it's popular.

Over I dont know why it got so much hyped, yeah i know maybe this just overrated drama again.

Shalini Rasangi This was the best drama that I had watched it is 10/10 for me I specially like ep 8, ep11, ep15, ep 16

Ryus girl This was such a wonderful experience watching this show. It’s a 9.5/10 for me. One of the best things that happened in 2024.

Bright Done watching it, after all the hype I would rate 7/10. Being honest, 16 episodes is too dragging, it should end at episode 12.

Mymarylee I could remember how this drama was underrated in the first two episodes but right now I can't even describe in words how wonderful this drama is....so far tank u Im Sol and Son jae for making our Mondays and Tuesdays...... Lovely ??♥️

Aieleen Denise My comfort drama and the best Kdrama of all time for me. Never regretted that I watched this series during the live broadcast. I will miss every week's roller-coaster emotion, theories, previews, and BTS. This is also the first time I watched BTS in any kdramas. Thank you Kim Hye-Yoon and Byeon WooSeok for bringing Im Sol and Sunjae to life, to the writes and PDnims, thank you all so much for making this great kdrama. Thank you Lovely Runner.

Anie Thank you has been making a drama is amazing in 2024 ... I don't never forget... Sunjaeeeeyaaaaaa.

nin This will probably go into my list of favorite dramas of all time. Kim Hye Yoon is such an amazing actress. I was bawling my eyes out that first scene. I waited until the series had finished because I was afraid it would just make me cry endlessly. But, as much as this was a high stakes drama, the funny and cute moments sprinkled all throughout the series kept my hope for our main characters.

Much respect to Byeon Woo Seok for being the whipped lover boy Sun Jae who stumbled over himself whilst caring for Im Sol. They both reminded me of the intense love that youngsters first experienced.

Every episode was so meaningful that the director really made use of every second to show us how love can transcend timelines. I'm so happy this drama brought back my adoration for Kdramas. Bravo to all the actors, staff, and filming crew. I look forward to more works from everyone who was involved.

claire So hard to say goodbye to this drama ❤️

Sunday I never so invested in watching a drama as much as I did for Lovely Runner! It is a very good kdrama for many reasons. Almost every episode brings laughter and tears together. It takes the audience for a rollercoaster emotional ride with Im Sol and Sun Jae. To be honest, Kim Hye-Yoon is the one that brings this drama to live! Because her superb acting as Im Sol, she makes Sun-Jae shines in his role as Sun Jae. She also makes others shine in their roles. Byeon Woo Seok acting is impressive too, matching well with KHY. When both leads are very comfortable to each other, their chemistry looks more genuine and immersive! I’d never been invested emotionally to main casts as much as I did to SolSun. KHY and BWS are portraying their roles well as high schoolers, college students and adults! I enjoy watching their interactions in each of timeline. Their height difference actually brings lot of cute scenes between them. I cannot think any other artist and actor that match better than them for these roles. They do deserve many awards for their hard work in this drama.

Congratulations to the writer, producers and crews for producing such a wonderful drama, with attention to details that highlight the strengths and loveliness of both FL/ML. The ending is beautiful and very satisfying as well. Thank you for dedicating the last episode with many wonderful happy scenes, feel like a reward for us, loyal audience. The OST songs are captivated as well.

I will keep this drama close to my heart always. See you all in your next projects.

Maejin I cried the whole Episode 14 ??

Sunjae yaaaaaaaa

IMAMAMISUA Love this drama sooooo much ? thank you to all involved, thanks for the hard work... thank you Sun Jae ya for your loves to Im Sol, i feel loved too ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yasminfzrs I was waiting this drama since casting release in middle 2023 and here i am :'). As kdrama addict since 2009 and have watched almost 200 kdrama, this is romcom kdrama i was searching for. The plot, character, acting, vibes and the butterfly effect was amazing. Kim hyeyoon & byeon wooseok was born to be sol and sunjae, i can't imagine if anyone replace them. Thank you so much director, writter, staff and all actor who have made this drama so beautiful even in the middle of production and at the start of airing people so underestimate but you all can make them shut up with this organic hits!!! Lovely runner, you was always be my number 1 rom com kdrama to me <3

Yeruchii I waited for the drama to finish airing so I can binge. Will watch this because of Kim Hye-Yoon. My absolute fave actress together with Kim So Hyun. I hope she gets more recognition because she is such a brilliant actress. If you're a seasoned kdrama fan, you will easily distinguish which actors are a master of their craft and Kim Hye-Yoon is one of them.

Adela The most beautiful couple I have seen so far. You are adorable (I like you a thousand times more than the Queen of Tears) I love you, I hope you stay together in real life forever ????❤️??

Sprean I understand why they don't show the reason why KYS kept chasing Im-sol. If you've watched many serial murder cases dramas/movies then you know the murderer's minds. How many times he failed to captive Im-sol. He just won't stop unless he got what he wanted. Even if it took him all his years just to satisfy his own selfish revenge and thirst. Unfortunately. He got what he deserved in the end. One of the best drama I've poured my time and heart into. Hihi

Mi mi mi Took a break and finished the drama today and I loved it . The director had it coming for him and he did what he was supposed to do kikiki. Lovely drama and the FL being who she is did justice to her role.

soljae this just moved to my Top 1 romcom of all time. The characters are so lovely especially loser sunjae. Plus hyeyoon and wooseok's chemistry are off the roof. The comedy and romance parts were top notch but some of the mystery parts were left for self interpretation. But i care more about the romance between these two (hehe). This is the only kdrama that made me crave for more episode instead of getting bored. All i can say is this is the epitome of Romance drama. I'm gonna miss Sol and Sunjae...♡

Riri BlaQ So lovely just like the name Lovely Runner ? The last two episodes were the best ? Still didn't tell us the reason why Kim Young Soo kept chasing Im Sol and Sun Jae around. Apart from that, overall it was good. I'd rate it an 8/10

Nabila some parts make me confused, like why tae song can remember sol but sunjae can’t?

but yeaa it’s all forgiven bcs this drama got the perfect casts with lovely chemistry?

gonna miss that dokidoki feeling i had watching this drama ??

seina very well written romance drama! You will never get bored in every episides. All the main casts even the supporting actors play their characters very well. Also the OSTs are soo good!!!

Can’t wait to see Byeon Wooseok’s as main lead in his next project!!

Ap My Mondays and Tuesdays will never be the same again now that Lovely Runner has ended. It was such a rollercoaster ride and I enjoyed every bit of it. I'm actually rewatching this again coz I'm not really ready to say goodbye to the best romcom series of the year.

This drama will always have a special place in my heart.

I'm going to miss you our SolJae!

Hope to see you on your next project soon!

Thank you so much for this wonderful drama series?

Sunjaeyaaaa!!!! Solaahhhh!!!

Moon Sun-Jae aaah!! Sol-ah! Gonna miss them so much. Their chemistry is so awesome. Love this drama so much.

Stecy kho One of best drama.. best actors and actress..

ERIN Thank you writer for the beautiful story. Kudos to Director for the great cinematic shots. Well done to the actor & actress who portrayed astoundingly well! I enjoyed this drama very much. Absolutely recommended! 10/10. Best Kdrama in 2024 and I hope this drama will get awards.

SUJATHA So sad the drama ended... one of the best drama... love both ML n FL.....well balanced drama with romance n humor especially sun jae romantic look n , his smile

Najihah Hisham This is the best and most wonderful drama of the first half of 2024. It will forever be one of my comforting dramas. The plot and my favorite genre, time travel, which I eagerly anticipate in each kdrama (I love time travel dramas so much), are exceptional. The storyline was smooth and understandable for me. There was no need to think hard to understand why, which, and what happens when time travel occurs. Omg! Can I just scream that I love this drama’s concept and idea so much? I hope for more dramas like this, but with a more thrilling version ??.

I don’t want to complain much. From the settings, plot twists, character development, and life lessons, this drama excels. I love how they show that if you choose something, you probably have to sacrifice something. Yes, indeed, in our lives, we need to make choices. There is nothing in this world where we do not make choices; everything happens for reasons that we choose from the start.

“Sincerely, I was not a fan of Byeon Woo Seok at first. But this drama changed my mind; his character was the greenest flag ever. The plot twist, especially his point of view in the second episode, really hooked me and kept me following the drama until the end. I’m just giggling and being delusional, wishing for a partner who loves me more than anything. Hahahahahaha, sorry, can you give me a moment to be delusional? ? And Im Sol’s character was really good, the strongest ever. She travels four times to save herself, her family, and her love. Omg! I love it so much. (I will do an additional appreciation post for Kim Hye Yoon, who excelled in her character.)

I will give this drama 100000000/10 stars. It turned out really well, and the OSTs are also really good. Besides ‘Sudden Shower,’ my favorite OST is ‘A Day’ by Jongho of Ateez. If you are not an Atiny or a K-pop fan but you are a kdrama fan, please don’t forget to check out his precious voice.

++++ The supporting characters also did very well portraying their roles ?. Kim Taesung, Baek In Hyuk, Im Geum, Hyunju, and others really made me enjoy watching this drama even more.

Love_ImSol Incredible act from FL & ML, make this drama soooo captivating... 10/10 from me for drama and incredibel act. Love you, Sun Jae and Im Sol ???

Kdramarama Lovely runner definitely of the most Satisfying kdrama romcom, because let’s be real romcom is the genre that Kdrama thrives, and LR definitely delivers. ???

The intricate details, the comedic punch, and the poetic parallels they pull across different timelines. Like there’s nothing new under the sun but somehow this drama still feels extremely fresh ??

Like any other time travel drama, of course it is not perfect, but it still exceeds way beyond expectations. Who would have thought that a drama about a parasocial idol relationship could pull your heartstrings.

It was a perfectly cast drama, nicely paced, not trying so hard to be overly complicated, it is just enough for what it is, a beautiful, fun and nostalgic. Looking back at their iconic scenes (and their songss!! OMG), definitely going to be a classic K drama staple for a long time.

Congratulations Lovely Runner you earned ur spot in my top kdrama of All Time together with hospital playlist, reply series and 2521, to name a few.

And what makes it even more amazing they did it without Netflix, Studio Dragon, and annoying PPLs. Limited marketing from TvN (esp in the beginning) and the unfortunate monday- tuesday slot.

It is always nice rooting for the underdog and for the past two months, nungguin dan liatin wavenya Lovely Runner feels like you are cheering for an underdog.

So Lee Si Eun you have my respect, am so sorry for not vibing with ur past works but thank you for bringing Lovely Runner to us and for being so patient on this project until you nail the perfect cast ????

reagan I'm a sucker for time or space travel dramas because of the intricate concepts they involve, like the butterfly effect. For this drama, 'Lovely Runner', I appreciated the laid-back tone, but I found some aspects, especially in the latter part, lacking in logical coherence.

    • SPOILER**

1. Sunjae's Migraine: It's hard to consider these as 'memories' when they didn't actually happen in their timeline. And, just him?

2. The Grandmother and the Watch: The grandmother had the watch all this time, but the reason for this is never clearly explained. Is she sick, possessed by a deity? I don't know.

3. Im Sol's new 3/3 watch: Im Sol uses the new watch to time travel again, but for some reason, she manages to go back to a time before she and Sunjae even met, which is different from her previous time travel experiences.

4. Tae Sung: If Im Sol had not approached Sunjae at all, then there would have been no closure for her and Tae Sung either. Plus, they even moved away immediately after Sunjae was injured, so even though Tae Sung is the son of the detective, Im Sol was not the victim of that time anymore (as shown in the new timeline for being not the target anymore), so it's unlikely that she would have any significant connection with Tae Sung back then with the new timeline.

Time travel dramas often take this route (avoiding interaction to prevent tragedy), and I usually dislike them when the reasoning on some part doesn’t make sense, as in this case.

Nonetheless, I give this drama an 8.7/10. I've been a kdrama watcher for more than a decade now, and finding one that is calming, sweet, yet still kind of engaging, is a real treat among the current offerings. I'm also happy that Byeon Wooseok is also getting the limelight!

Kcee Wow. That was a great drama. There were times where I would agree with some of the comments regarding the FL's choices, but seriously this is one of the best dramas I've seen.

love Best one in 2024 so far!! I can't believe it already ended... I feel happy and sad at the same time. Kim Hye-yoon and Byeon Woo-seok, good job!!! Thank you for making this masterpiece and giving us excitement every week.

Belle I like the show but the FL is super annoying. Plus, they could've easily done only 12 episodes. So much time wasted with her constantly pushing him away toward the end.

mammamia I love this drama so much ? it made me so haply for two months Because of this, I got to know about the main leads and fell in love with Hyeyoon ?

Juan Best drama in 2024 ? Can't believe I have to say goodbye to this one! It was such a heartwarming drama. Loved the chemistry between the casts and especially Sunjae and Sol. Every inch of the story was perfectly written. Writing this while listening to Sonaki and I cried like a baby because I will miss this so much. I know I could rewatch but the feelings won't be the same as first watch but anyway I'm still gonna rewatch in the future.

Sunjaeya, thank you for making my Mondays and Tuesdays filled with emotions ? Sol-a, I'm gonna miss your shining eyes and smile ??

Haokyeomie The most amazing drama I’ve seen in a while everything was so perfect and I’m so proud these actors they’ve worked hard on this so they deserve all hype that they are getting hope there will be more drama like this :”)

Official nimi Sooooo nice I’m going to miss this drama The story line wasn’t great but the actors carried the drama Best acting from the ml and fl Byun woo seok is my new favorite actor,he is so handsome so romantic and so sweet,the character was made for him,it suits him so well. Their chemistry was soooooo great I’m going to be bored without this drama lord Sun Jae is the greenest flag,he gives me so high standard Oopa seranghae ???❤️❤️❤️❤️

Sunny It was perfect. I laughed and I cried, then I cried again, and again and after that I cried again, then I laughed. Then I went crazy. Sunjae ahh Im Sol ahh! I love you so muchhhhh

Happy98 I feel like a teenager who is in love while watching this drama every week... Now I feel like a widow after the drama end (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) Idk happy ending drama could leave me a wound too. I have to leave all the sweets moment of them as a memory. Accompanied by Spring Snow of 10Cm, I shed a lot of tears tonight. My Monday and Tuesday will never feel the same again. Thank you SolSunJae, This drama first aired on my birthday and i accepted it like the most memorable gift.

Virg I hope that Ryun sun jae will do more acting. He is so talented and makes you get involved with the character that he is portraying. Please Please don’t let him get away. I will definitely rewatch this again and again. Thank You for making this film and letting us share the actors.

PS I've never been so attached to a kdrama until now and here I am ugly crying because it just ended. ? Can't say I'm gonna miss them because I 'm definitely gonna watch it again and again. I'm so proud of and grateful for everyone behind and on screen of Lovely Runner. I very much enjoyed watching and waiting every week. Hands down

Take woo seok and run I hope this drama have 20 episode.. please extend the episode. At least release the directors cut version TT.. how can i move on from this?

bws❤️khy @reekarix same here. Just got the watch!

reekarix I love everything about it!!! I'm reminiscing my old self when I was in school and doing those hidden smiles and those coincidences that feels like fate! I'm crying so much! I love this kdrama it hurts! Memories of youth and the present moment are like connected dots... I'm so glad I got to watch this kdrama series! I hope many relates to its story too. I bought the same watch because of this XD

candice being very honest this drama is mid, so many plot holes and lazy writing towards the end

PS How can I ever move on from SolJae couple? Superb story, twists, OSTs, acting, and chemistry. I fell so hard for this drama that I don't care about the flaws & technicalities anymore. I watched this ongoing and the waiting tortured me every week. I can say that I just really enjoyed Lovely Runner from the bottom of my heart. I have to put this at the top of my list. Hoping for their individual successes if not for a season 2 ?

Sam Not sure about this drama. The first episodes were kind of good, time travelling is always exciting but then it started being absurd and honestly doesn't make sense anymore. If fate can't be changed then the story cannot have a happy ending but I guess it will so now I am just curious to see the nonsense end. 5/10

Anasca A beautiful storyline

zora Thanks to the lovely runner casts that makes my Monday and Tuesday so muchhhhh betterrr <3

Iffah Warning : Spoiler!!!!!



There's something I've been very curious about. Doesn't Im Sol have the ability to stop the time by saying the events that happened in the future? Why didn't she use it to "trap" the killer? Why did she keep running when she could easily walk and stop the time whenever that killer chased her? Doesn't she have taser that they showed in early episodes? She can bring it with her if she "knew" the killer will come out to kill her. Stop the time and then use the taser on the killer. I know it can not kill, but at least it can make him faint at least. It was frustrating watching her ran away in Inhyuk's hometown just to catch him when she could easily use her "ability". Wth that killer is so obsessed with her? Like, is there no reason at all? Just because she was at that place (early episode) and saw the evidence of murder? Also I hope this is the last time she push away Sunjae just to save him. It only gives her more trauma because she keeps watching him die in different ways. There are fates that can not be changed. And it's his fate to die for saving her. She can never change it.

Juliana Cervantes I like this movie because the characters are beautiful, especially the hero and the villain, I love Sun Jae and Sol

Patricia Riley I live in Australia so could you please let the production team and the wonderful cast of Lovely Runner know that the series is simply wonderful and all Aussie fans say thank you❤️?????????

Wati I hope the ending doesn't give me k-trauma

So curious about episode 15-16. I can't wait to see how the writer executes and wraps the whole story

Anulouwapo This is the first Korean drama I will watch that I will eargaly be waiting for ep 15 not the end I wish this movie still continue I don't want it to end

Happy98 Because ImSol keeps going back and forth to the past I was a little caught off guard... Isn't it true that the last time ImSol tried not to have contact with SunJae and others. But why is TaeSung still remember the first time travel version of Sol, the one that nagging smoking boys in the alley? But also the same TaeSung confused by Sol cause crying for SunJae that has no connection with them in the current time. Ahhh did I missed something or the crew missed a detail?! At some scenes I feel so hollow, but when HyeYoon do something i feel alive again. At this point I can tell She has a strong impact to make the drama a hit

Marach This drama is like a roller coaster, I felt like giving up at some point. Is it just me the lead female looks so much like jisung oppa

ANDWAEE? Me rn: ☹???

Because lovely runner has a 2 episode left.

seina very good chemistry between two main casts! The story is started out easy to become complicated af after episode 6 onwards. But I love and enjoying all the whole story.

I watched all of Byeon Wooseok's drama/films, even followed him as a model in IG, long before he became an actor. But this drama give him big exposure and show us his great acting skill! Love to see him more as main lead in the future.

as for Kim Hye yoon, before watch her in lovely runner actually I don’t really like her since mostly her character is rebel/villain.. But I do really love her character here, her acting, chemistry was so good!

Ines Hyeyoon is one of the best actresses around the world. I cannot wait what is next in store of her after Lovely Runner

Kanaya Kdrama which started out as an easy story became complicated, but still, Ryu Sun Jae I love you

miaka For someone whose been watching kdramas for over a decade, i'd say this is one of my favorites. Some may find it boring because the story is not extraordinary as compared to other dramas but for me its what makes it fun to watch. The romance and chemistry of the main leads makes you want to fall in love again, it's not cringy to watch. At some point in our lives we experience the so called "first love" and ussually it happened during our teenage life. This drama brings back those memories. I loughed a lot too while watching this drama, the OAness of the two leads is really funny and cute. While others find the time travelling part to be a little bit confusing and frustrating because of the repeated death of sunjae, I find it to be interesting. I watched this after watching Queen of Tears, also a good one, but its a heavy drama. Lovely runner helps me get over the heavy emotions from queen of tears. Its a breath of fresh air. Waiting for the last 2 episodes, i hope its a happy ending....

meow princess it started off strong but the whole time travel thing just kept getting wayyyy too complicated towards the end, and the whole fate thing is just getting way too messy to comprehend. also, why is this killer still up and on the run by episode 14? feels very dragged

jeajea never commented here, but i had to cause this drama is amazing i cry and laugh every episode. it gets more and more engaging and interesting with every episode. you will love and adore the leads especially the male lead. i just wish i haven't watched it since its so good i wanna forget and watch it again. trust me a must watch..

Zelfa Best Kdrama Of The Year! Mind you, starting from now, they're gonna make a male lead character like Ryu Sun Jae. He's the standard from now on!

Drity Really love this series!!

KennyK Will there be a story line for Sunjae? Since he was wearing his too when they found his body from the water. Was it this time Sunjae didn’t die or just him losing his memory?? I’d praise Lovely Runner crew accordingly base on their work here. This drama deserves an award.

Daniel I was going to give it another try since I dropped it after the filler episode streak of 6,7 & 8. But it looks like the writers still don't know what they're doing. What a shame. The first 4-5 episodes were great. The will they-won't they isn't meant for 16 episodes. A little shocked the killer is still getting screentime??? LOL

WhySunJaeHasToDie3Times? Please it feels like 13 episodes were just a lie

Tiff Why doesnt im sol use her time stopping powers when the murderer is around? Started off strong but the FL character is too inconsistent in her intelligence to make the story believable. IQ fluctuates at scriptwriter's convenience.

Taj Lyiezz Please let the story be happy at the end???

tan at this point everyone should just die together and get reincarnated in a world without the taxi driver. i'm done lmao

Soli Kim Hye-Yoon the actress you are! You Deserve Best Actress on All Awards. I love her acting here as Im Sol.

Fotini it is one of the best kdrama of 2024 but i don't like that sun jae dies often and there is no good ending in an episode

Pipoo SPOILER ALERT - EP 13

If Sun Jae never meet Im Sol in the past, will the killer still target Im Sol? Because I think whether the bus scene happens or not, the killer will still target her. And episode 14 15 16 for future stories? I think there will be another twist in any of these 3 episodes, hahaha

Martina ?? Is it true that there will be a second season????

471K Can't wait for tomorrow episodes (13-14)..

1-3 ( first chance) 4-7 (second chance)

Maybe episode 9-13 will be the last chance im sol to save sunjae And they will be back to original time at episode 14, look forward for them as 34/35 yo romance

Writer nim... please give them happy ending. Sunjay can be saved. Imsol can walk. They are married like in novel.

bws❤️khy Love this series! I haven’t watched a series many times over in a long time. I love everything about it. The sound director, the overall director, all the actors did a terrific job! Kudos everyone! It’s 100/10 for me.

Chocolate the show is entertaining and all, but let's admit some things just don't add up. and sol's personality is unlike a 34 year old at all... i get it's a kdrama thing but they need to stop... she always makes the stupidest choices. it's rare to see kdramas with smart female characters who actually have Logic

i only keep watching because the great acting and undeniable chemistry between the actors. (everyone did a fantastic job in this!) storyline-wise, i would've dropped this long ago. it gets very draggy, especially about the taxi driver. like we still don't know whether he takes part in time-traveling, and at this point, i've lost all my interest to find out. for all i know, he could be the one who owns the watch like the other time-traveler character in the novel. idc. the comedy gets cringy at times, but funny nonetheless because i'd chuckle a little here and there.

one thing i noticed, however, no matter how draggy it could get, the team knew how to attract the viewers to keep watching by inserting some cute/comedic moments between im sol and ryu sunjae. the comedy involving other characters in the drama also helped, e.g. baek inhyuk, im sol's family and her friend, ryu sunjae's dad, etc. like i said, it's their collectively great acting that adds more value to the drama.

(i still skipped some scenes, though.)

i've heard theories on twitter about the tiny details the production team put in the drama, and i'd say it's kinda the bare minimum ngl. especially for a supposedly thriller drama...

anyway, despite its shortcomings, i enjoyed the drama. kim hyeyoon's performance is as usual Phenomenal, and even the extras here act better than some senior actors i know. they deserve the massive popularity for sure. i hope this drama can be a stepping stone for them to get bigger roles.

Cey What a trashy piece of an episode is episode 10, I love you but wouldn't confess my feelings no matter what?? Please

So Young People should try to put themselves in Sol's shoes before talking sh1t about her. She is as selfless as Sunjae. and imagine she had to experience her lover dying so many times because he was willing to risk his life to save her. In this house we dont accept any Im Sol slander?...

Nervi When she has the ability to stop the time, she should do this when taxi driver want to caught her or in emergency situation like when she treespassing sun jae's room. As simple as that

Xylmir Outstanding Kdrama I love it as the writer understands the laws of magic when it comes to tampering/gambling with time-travel. For instance where Im-Sol says something from the future everything pauses and I was like "someone has done their homework indeed". And it so reminds me of the videogame Life is Strange alittle bit the vibe of it all in the series and no matter how much you change these certain events and stuff there will always be that singular loophole or butterfly effect stance. In trying to save that certain someone or individual from harm or any other sorta-type of situation matter.

Great series indeed and I can't wait to see how it ends and where it goes for both Im-sol and San-Jae.

May BWS and KHY need reunion in another drama. Their chemistry is really ?.

Purna The rating went down in epsd 12, and some knets critized the taxi driver trope. For me, i'm still curious how the writer executes the plot in episode 13-14, 15-15, and the episode 11-12 was still good

The important thing is i hope lovely runner has happy ending. Sunjae will be saved. Im sol can walk again.

I hope they don't give us k-trauma like 2521..

So far I enjoy this drama so much. Even, i rewatch it again and again

Anon I knew that I would like this before this kdrama even starts kekeke. RomCom where he fell first and he fell harder + school setting. Can’t wait for ‘family by choice’ kdrama starring HIY, BHS and JCY - top-tier visual!!

What's with the Villain? I just find the suspect's fixation on Im Sol kinda MEH. It's frustrating. I can't feel the suspense to the point that the whole thing is ridiculous.

1st) Because he was supposed to be a Serial offender (or murderer) and yet he kept pursuing Im Sol despite of knowing the police will find him.

Serial offender's thrive on anonimity and doesn't want to be identified. And yet he was out in the open. Not even wearing a disguise. What you see in the news is his actual everyday get up. Why hasn't he been caught yet? ?‍??‍?

2nd) He should have victims after failed attempts with Im Sol. Then proceed with Im Sol otherwise he's just Im Sol's stalker.

3rd) His reason behind his fixation on Im Sol is unidentified and not persuasive, doesn't have a driving force. It's not as if his d*ck was severed because of her. Or Im Sol is hiding something that is valuable to him.

4) Im Sol's actions are idiotic. Incomprehensible. Atleast go home first. You saw a vision of that clip and you have a chance to go home and yet you chose to remain? ?? Kdrama at it's finest. And why would you hide it?

The drama was really great before this episode. I just want something to relieve stress or entertain me and yet.. ?? This drama is in ruins.

intan baiduri badri such a lovely, comedy and romantic drama

Happy98 I wonder why InHyuk's wig don't fell off?! His hair grow back like a light. 乁⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠o⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠ㄏ From the trailer, I feel Sol probably going back to be paralysed. I'm glad they keep the tension even though only 4 episodes left. Since this is a time travel thing, changing plot to keep the tension doesn't feel weird at all. Wish all of them have their own good project after this one very soon. Couldn't wait any longer for another project.

Haru I'll prepare my heart for episode 13 and 14. I know there is a price for all the lovey dovey scenes we watched in episode 11 and 12.

Sometimes I don't understand Im Sol. I know she doesn't want anything bad happen to Sunjae because of the killer and chose to fight the killer without Sunjae. But, I'm just thinking if only Im Sol didn't hide everything from Sunjae, everything will be better, they will make a plan together to get the killer. And if I'm Im Sol, when I have a vision about what will happen for them in that village, I'll just leave the village with Sunjae, instead of leaving Sunjae in the train and let Sunjae go back to Seoul by himself.

And the preview for episode 13 doesn't look good. Because you can see Im Sol going back to 2023 time and her eyes looks so sad.

Happy98 I waited 1 more day, so I can watch 2 episodes in one go. But... I've only on the first 2 minutes of the 11 and my cheek already felt so sore. I SMILING TOOO MUCH (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻ I Love This Drama Soo Much

atar I am super happy that woo-seok is getting the attention he deserves. Proud fan here, that he is not a ML. More dramas for you seoka..

Joyjosh Please Pd-nim give happy ending for Ryu Seon Jae aka uri Byron woo seok.... We truly appreciate for happy pill that make our days lighten up <3

iamartsy Does anyone have a clue why taesung is not part of the band anymore

Grasshopper Episode 11 is so freaking hilarious hahaha

Haru There are a lot of funny and sweet moments in 11th episode hahaha. I can't stop smiling.

I hope there will be a happy ending for all of them.

Shamille perol It's good Korean drama it's so amazing and gratefully

Noona yeopo This drama brings back a lot memories "how i start kdrama" And the story brings more memories. About teen era, campus era, and adult love era.

The 2nd hand embarrassment is so real & some of the scenes are just so funny!!! Thank You producers because I really need a good laugh. I seriously go back and rewatch scenes over and over again ...

Anna Dang, just when I thought there weren't many good Kdramas lately this hit me by surprise. I Love The Whole Cast!! I could just stare at Byeon Wook seok w/ his model looks/height & soft acting. Kim Hye Hoon's crying scenes are the best. And Song Geon Hee plays 2nd lead/bromance partner so well. Thank you for making such a fun, heartfelt drama (director/writer/cast). I literally feel butterflies whenever the ML/FL are together. They have the Best chemistry!!!

Swaggiepatata The 2024 Best Drama! The Cast, The Directing, The Plot, The Cinematography, The Transition, All!! Even though the promotion tvn gave to this drama was shitty, the drama already Hit this big. Kim Hye Yoon acting is the one who make the plot being really attractive and enthusiastic ?, The chemistry with Byeon Woo Seok is make me feeling I’m dating someone Haha can’t wait for the ep 11. But it’s a pity that in 3 week, we should say goodbye to this masterpiece drama. Hope The Fanmeeting Will Available Online For The International Fans Too

Solsunjae Why Im Sol doesnt use her ability to stop time when confronting with that murderer?

erin Best Drama In A While Yet. literally was on a kdrama slump but this brought me back. maybe i just needed something giving the vibes of an old kdrama. this will be my new fav kdrama. Kim Hye-Yoon Is So Iconic Aaaaa!!!

Jazzy Such an organic hit drama!

Your 112 Aaaaaaaaaaa I Love This Drama, All Parts Of The Drama.

Very happy to look forward to fresh works like this drama in the future. This drama is like the oxygen needed to live today's life ?❤???

Amrita Omg ... Best cast ... Best drama ...it has everything compilation of thrill ,comedy , mystery, wonderful acting , fantabulous dialogues,flawless directory ...

:3 omggg sol and sunjae dating next episode!! we are sooo back!!!!

ELizabeth I just rewatched episode 1-10 again while waiting for episode 11. I can't wait for monday to come faster

Luv Romance First, I absolutely love this show!!! Love these two characters Im Sol and Sun Jae and they are the most outstanding actors !!!!!!! On another site some think that Jae Sun no longer being an Idol is no big deal and we should be happy that he is alive living a normal non-celebrity. I sorry but I love his voice and his stage presence !!!! This man is super talented !!!! Why can’t he be a star and have a life with i’m sol too? She would help create the balance in his life that he did not have in the first episode…. elevate the loneliness !!!! I hope that his singing is interjected back in the final 6 episodes ??….. but overall an amazing drama!!!!

Giji Ohmy Im sol! Great actress! More romcom please!

kiwi kiwi ohoo hoo ep 11 waitingggggggggggg..

Martha lee I love u sunjae-yaa, im sol ?

Mic Kim Hye Yoon crying always make people cry too, and she portrays Sol perfectly, very talent actress indeed. Can you imagine the despair Sol felt everytime she losses Sunjae, Sol persistence to save Sunjae made me heartbroken. Hope ppl would hyper her up more and not just the male leads.

Lets kidnapped imsol and sunjae This drama gives butterflies in my belly, i want sunjae in my lifa too

Loverr I'm so happy knowing that it will 16 episodesss..1 hour each episode is not enough T.T

Episode 10 was so good..i was crying a lot O.O No doubt i love Kim Hye Yoon's acting! When she laughed, everything seem so bright..happy virus! But when she cried, you'll cry too.. Byeon Woo Seok, every scene was beautiful as usual..

Hope this kdrama will bring and give both of you a more achievement in acting and moree project, and people in korea will love an recognize youu, guyss.. Sarangee Dimple Couplee

julie that truck im sol got scared of by the end of ep 10 is literally that maniac's truck i went back to ep 8 to check the number plate and it's the same...

Kimhyeyoon_sodamn good Wow, daebak... Kim hye yoon's acting on another level, to good to be true... She is good in Snowdrop and Extraordinary You, but in this drama, it's convincing me that she is one of the best actress. So talented... And this drama also good, damn i was hard crying in the end ep 10. Thanks for this amazing drama, hope it will be happy ending...

Nan What the hell are you doing not watching it!? It's awesome!!

This Drama is too perfect I could not ask for more Episode 10 was freaking Great. I cried so much!!! At this point I don't want to think or predict what would happen and will just enjoy my journey upto episode 16. This drama is great!! And I love the three of them; Im Sol, Sunjae and especially Taesung!!

Haru The ending of the 10th episode makes me relief, it's really a good thing that he know what will happend to him later and the reason Im Sol did everything she already did. But it's giving me a heart attack when seeing Eclipse without Sunjae. Is it the only way for Sunjae to be safe? Not being famous so the killer hard to find him? I still want to see In Hyuk and Sunjae's friendship even after being singer. Their friendship is one of the reason I keep watching this drama. I hope Sunjae will join the band later.

Fan He should remain an idol....:(

Fan Why sun jae is no more a singer ..I'm disappointed

Bromance addict Why do I have a feeling the one who will die will be Kim Tae Sung ( 。゚Д゚。)

Kiwi.. Just finished watching ep9. And wow the story is kinda unique from the start till now. I mean although the female lead is annoying she has reason. Talking about sol I have observed that she is really being herself with taesung her ex rightt she act different or I can say mature with him and I like the chemistry btn then I don't mean I want them together but I just like how she acts around him. I just want to talk okay so about this ep 9 I am still little bit confused but why in the world is sol ignoring sunjae. Whyyy. I just don't understand. I know that she just don't want him to be involved with the kidnapper but watching the incident in 2009 like how sunjae got involved in the casei just think that any one could saw the bag pack yk .it just doesn't make sense to me . I am trying to understand what is happening. At last I just want to say ep10 please be good...

Happy98 For everyone that hating Sol character even though She's 30yo lady, I remind you, She's not an ordinary lady. She has depression period, She has not a normal life in neighborhood, She just getting better after being a fan of SunJae. She's doing her best without ruining the past, If I was her, I might buy stock since the first time lapse and forget about saving SunJae's life (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)

Happy98 Because they were kissed on 9th episode, based on their mythical believe of the university, They'll get married right?!!!! Okay, I could breath a little bit. I wish the best ending for this drama

Haru The plot being so slow lately, maybe because there are still 7 episode left. I still love this drama, because of Im Sol and Sunjae. But think about what will happend in the next episode, it's hard to see.

I understand Im Sol's reason avoid Sunjae, because she knows Sunjae's death is inevitable as long as he's with her in the past. But it really bad for Sunjae. He knows nothing about Im Sol's real reason.

At the end of episode 9 I found hope. A hope that Sunjae will know about everything. But the hope is gone after I saw the 10th episode preview. Why would he think Im Sol reject him by telling lies that she come from the future? Just believe her!! That's the only reason that she can sing the song Sunjae write (the song which only In Hyuk knew about).

JX I follow the show closely too every weekend but...

is it just me but don't other people find Im Sol annoying? I mean, she's already 30 but every time she goes back in time (to high school and now university), her actions are immature and create trouble and heartache for Sun Jae (although she is supposed to go back in time to save him?)..

She pretends to sleep on the floor to avoid her classmates, runs out into the wilderness and then get drunk (and Sun Jae mistakes that it's because she hates him)... is the audience supposed to find it cute? Hmm...

p.s. Hyun Ju i e. "I have no chingu" actress is funny as always!!

NA So falling in love in this Drama in 2024. Please increased more the ratings because all casts and supporting behind is so worthed to get big appreciation with high ratings score! Really make my monday is lovely coming ♥️

Cha Just may but i alr know this is the best 2024 Kdrama

Martha I love youuuu im sol sunjae!!!!!!

Namj More PR please! This drama so good! Please

Kristine Why is no one wearing eclipse glasses?

riju can't explain how much i love this drama it's already in my top 10 best shows i've ever seen and we're only 8 eps in. i've been wanting a kdrama like this for so long and it's finally here it's so perfect the storyline, cinematography, actors, scenes are so great it's so cute it's giving 2016 kdrama vibes can't wait for next episodes 2024/5/4 1:23am

Zarnigor Very intresting drama ???

so excited to the time travel of im sol??? so very excited to the time travel of im sol.. and how theie love story began???

S I have never be so obsess with any kdrama like this before I totally love it

Gaaa the best drama ever!!!!

Let's took away Baek In hyuk I really love the facts that we got to see highschool romance and adult romance in one drama. Love you to the moon dear writer nim.

Wati I adore how the writer writes the plot neatly, and scenes are not boring at all

Episode 1-8 is so so good

julie how can this drama be so gooooood i love it so much

Nille I didn't really like this drama at first, thought the female lead was a little bit cringe and boarderline obsessed.. HOWEVER, the story just keeps getting more interesting and the characters really grow on you. let's see if they stick the landing! I'm a bit worried that they will drag it out since there are 16 eps so far I'd recommend watching it

lyn I think maybe the stalker girl is Im Sol from another dimension? judging from the same clothes

Lovely girl ( dominion ) I loved it, maybe because i love korean dramas, keep the good work lovely runners

So Young I'm very picky about everything, I picked popular/latest kdrama to watch and dropped at halfway episodes 6 to 8. So many people and friends recommend me to watch Wedding Impossible and Queen of Tears etc... I dropped both at episodes 6 and 8 respectively.....like you know Episodes 8 Curse...

But This Masterpiece Drama Called 'Lovely Runner' Doesn't Give Me The Slightest Words Dropped or Boring. I Watched 3x Times The 8 Episodes.....Ugh...Can't Wait for Next Week...

BTW...my college entrance exam is 2nd weeks of May? ?

queen the story is getting more interesting!! It's fun to watch

khali i really like it this drama their so cute..episode 8 was good but sunjae hope he did not please..?can't wait for next episode again..

Byeon wooseok I'm thinking that maybe SunJae was killed by that stalker of Sol? Not died by suicide?

kdramafan manifesting sunjae to be alive in this drama

Happy98 I thought since the watch was not with Sol anymore, the plot would be boring. But not y'all this is tvN, the chance that SunJae will die higher than survive and we had a happy end. I wish TaeSung's appearance will bring a huge impact later on. Overall, as an Ongoing viewer I still love this drama. Sooo many scenes that I replayed many times because they were really cute in this week's episodes ?

Darkeyes28 What a beautiful drama. I love it so much!

Masterpiece Wow. The writers just go beyond expectations for every episodes. It’s like someone actually have k-drama viewers every genre in one. So good!

Haru Baek In Hyuk is jjang!!! Without him that scene will never happend...

By the end of the 8th episode, I really hope Sunjae will get better. I hope there is not time slipper scene again. I know I miss their high school day, but it's hard to see and think what will happen if Im Sol doing the time slipper again... Because it'll be repetitive like the 4th and 7th episode, seeing the original Im Sol doesn't remember anything about Sunjae. It's really hard to see. I can't imagine how Sunjae's feeling.

But, I really hope that Sunjae knows everything. About how hard Im Sol try to change their fate, how much she cares about him, and about the time slipper too.

fzzzhhhh I thought I'd smile till the end of episode 8, but for real, this villain guy must be vanished, asap. Still wondering the backstory, just why? Poor SunJae have to die twice in the half of the series. I know there is still hope. Please give us a happy ending <3

mic Sol a, you have to be happy at all times. I wish no more sufferings and bad things happen to you. Your happiness means everything to me! Pray for the happily ever after for Sol ans Sun Jae.

Yex Just watch 7th episode, and i kinda think that Sunjae's killer is the one that also killed Im Sol back then. Since we got a little knowledge about him, his motive, etc. I haven't read the novel and the webtoon isnt finished yet so I'm very curious about the next plot. I do agree that the plot is quite fast since it's just the half of the drama

And I'm in love with their love story too :D

Haru And I miss their high school day, the innocent Sunjae that love Im Sol, the funny Im Sol who always make Sunjae awkward. They already hide their feeling for 15 years (especially Sunjae). Give them justice! Give him justice! Let our Sunjae let out his emotion for Im Sol!! Let them now each other feeling!

Haru Episode 7 might be the hardest episode to watch. I felt relief because both of them are safe. But it's really frustrated because need a full episode for them to meet. Oh my god.

I'm still curious about what will happen for the rest episode. They'll meet the killer obviously. Because you can see, Im Sol saved by Sunjae twice; on September 2008 and other day 14 years ago. And it looks almost impossible for Im Sol to go back to that time because she doesn't have Sunjae watch anymore. Or maybe they have another chance with an square watch Sunjae have (I don't know why but they show us that watch intentionally as if that watch is special for Sunjae).

Gia I have just watched pre-released of episode 7..

I think the plot is so fast

Episode 1-3.. we got female lead back to present time (first chance) Episode 4-7 we will get fl back to present (second chance)

So, episode 8-16 I am so curious how the writer will fill the story to make the plot more interesting..

So far till episode 6, i love and enjoy so much

Hopefully, the rest episodes will be better and better

Ma Bernadette de Guzman It's a very good drama. I fell inlove again. Waiting for the next episode. Good Chemistry Good Actors. Just Perfect everything!❤️ Can't wait for the other episode. Can't wait for monday and tuesday!❤️

seina very refreshing yet good spring-summer drama to watch!! romance, youth, good looking actors hahaha loved it!

Sal loving this drama , especially all those funny moments ?

@CH rightly said , the writers seems like they are forgetting she is 30 years old , writing her like a clueless teenager sometimes :/.

Jess Best drama I've seen in a very long time. It's been a while since a drama has gotten me so hooked, It deserves better ratings.

CH I love this drama BUT i have a problem which is the same for a lot of dramas... i just cant handle how clueless are sometimes the characters... you might understand Sun-Jae being not very smart because he is a teenager... but Im-Sol is supposed to be a 30 year old going back to school... it is just not believable how dumb clueless and unable to express herself she is... it might be fun at the beggining but it can get annoying ... but this seems to be a korean and japanese drama thing.... specially females are portrayed as borderline stupid... which can get quite offensive still, it is funny and everyone is beautiful

Arif se Fall in love with this drama. My fav drama for now. Ryu Sun Jae.. i love you.. Can't wait for the next episodes

xx This kdrama is added to my favorite list, latest ones was Twinkling Watermelon and now this. I'm just a fool for the loser's troope because why is Sunjae so cute when he is silently having butterflies in his stomach. I initially watched this because of Hyeyoon and now I'm loving the whole cast.

Fae Sooooo in love with this new drama!!!!!!! Can next week just come already,

Noonim I am so in love with the cast, the story line, the editing of this series, and the OST. I'm hoping for a happy ending, as we all are hoping for. They both deserve each other! Let's enjoy and meet every Monday & Tuesdays with our fave Spring- dimp dimp couple.

Let's took away Tae Song Am I the only one who likes him???? I mean I don't blame the past Im Sol for liking him. The Teddy Bear was Too Adorable.

Happy98 I got everything I needed in this drama. The romance, the thrill, the funny, the slice of life. If the preview episode doesn't come out I might be spending the whole week feeling anxious about Sol condition. Idc if SungJae doesn't remember her, I wish both of them healthy. As a fan, I believe Sol would accept the destiny if SungJae doesn't remember her. I'll wait for the rest of episodes

Im Sol let's took away Sunjae of the 16 episodes, this only aired until the 6th episode, but the story is already quite long and quite complex, will the remaining 10 episodes be sad :( . hopefully it can have a happy ending

Haru The ending of episode 6 makes me anxious. Even the preview for the next episode doesn't feel good. We can see the future is changed, but I'm affraid Sunjae is changed, too. You can hear Sunjae said "who is this? Do we know each other?" I hope that's not for Im sol. I'm still waiting for each episode. Im Sol already used the 'time machine' twice. There is only one last chance for the rest episode. And I'm still curious about their actual life before Im Sol back to the past and the night when Im Sol was kidnapped. How can she survived (even though not in a good condition)?


Oh my god, why Monday is so far away from Tuesday?

Khrenz Waiting for the next episode☺☺☺

Anon Tvn monday & tuesday : wedding impossible and then lovely runner <3

Monday Wow.. episode 5 is so entertaining, funny..sweet..sad.. all together in one episode. Now I am quite desperate to see both of them have a happy ending. I am afraid the more they are trying to protect each other, the more they cannot change their fate! They should just date now and facing up and down life together, always together, regardless. Then, their fate may change.

hyunashrie after watching the episode 5.. i thnk sol was kidnapp by a killer...and I thnk Sun jae was killed also by the killer cause He is a witness of sol kidnaaping...omg...

Candy I enjoyed all episodes so far. I hope the future changes.

When will the next episode be out

Haru The director, writer, casts, and staffs really did a great job. They carefully delivered every scene for us. I can see how detail they are even I can feel it in every character expression.

Good job.

Thank for this series, lately Monday is a good day for me.

Happy98 It's been a long time since I paid attention to the details of a drama while watching it. I found DanOh "click" sounds every time the scene changes in Episode 5 on 9.10 minutes. Watching dramas that come out every week makes my heart flutter, but How I looked at the main character became different because while waiting every week, I found out too much about what the real character was like in life, I didn't expect the real life facts could be this influential. SeungJae suddenly looks too old to play a high school student, but because he is still cute in every scene, I feel comfortable watching him again.

F After watch eps 4 , is Im Sol successfully change her future? Because she seems didn’t got the car accident in 2008 . I think like that yhaa, cant wait for another eps so many secret will be revealed . Fighting!

Im Sol I love the story, the characters, the love, I want to read the book is it available in English?

seina this drama actually reminds me of A Time Called You. kinda have quite similar story and vibes

but well I do enjoy all the 4 episodes so far

Shi Seeing that byeon wooseok is the lead I'm scared this will be a sad ending like Noooo! that's y I can't start watching this T T

Bora Fine episodes But why he is kissing a girl who is not aware of her surroundings? Taking advantage of a drunken girl is not good,he is a red flag in it

Jia I hope their rating will continue to rise on top. jeballlll

KL Hoping that their ratings will continue to rise. Great cast, great chemistry and every scene is just chef’s kiss. Really addictive.

Micol Have watched all the 4 episodes so far, and it sooo interesting so far!! It has the potential for one of the best k-dramas in 2024. Can't wait for the next episodes! This is the perfect k-drama for you if you like comedy-romance and not only because, the storyline is also detailed and entertaining!

Co Started loving Byeon Woo Seok since I watched him on "Strong Girl" I love his masculine presence in strong girl. Currently watching him on Lovely Runner, I love him even more. I have watched the 4 episodes. So far it's been AMAZING. I hope it continues like this till the end. I love when the Guy falls in love first. This series is beautiful ❤️

miss_rover I'm loving this show! Bit apprehensive about 16 episodes because they might drag it out. I hope not. I love Hye Yoon. She is so talented and mature compared to Hong Suzu. The actor Woo Seok is also great. The chemistry between these 2 is very lovely. I hope they don't drag it and they keep the same pacing.

I have read Season 1 of the webtoon and even though the premise was fun, I did not like the main characters, it was too frustrating. The drama has done a good job, more likeable characters and interesting plot. Hope they keep it up.

ItsJoo I love love love this show so much. Im obsessed with byeon woo-seok! I loved him since 20th century girl. He’s someone you just can’t get enough of. We need more of him on screen. The tsundere character fits him well. It’s ver cha eunwoo character but he does it so much more naturally.

래느 Love this! Can't wait for the next episodes to be released ??

Wednesday Wow... this drama is so so good! I like how they are so caring and want to save each other. An absolutely great pairing between a gorgeous and calm BWS and a cute energetic KHY. They act very well. I love seeing their chemistry, and feel like we are having emotional ride with them.

Now, the whole world is hoping Im Sol can change the fate of Sun Jae. The fact that he met her again 2023, knew that she is his hard core fan, and even found out where she lives, should be a good reason to keep living and reconnect. So, I am wondering why he died? I really hope a happy ending, but I don't know how?

A good drama is the one that you cannot wait for the next episodes. Great production!

Ken pham I love this film very much???❤️‍? It so good. The actress acts well? The Korean scenes are great ? Kim hye yoon so cute and Byeon Woo Seok very handsome ??

Fifi Kim hyeyoon and Byeon wooseok acting is top teir. Both of them perfectly suit the characters

Mar Thea Ep 1 up to 4 had lots of twist ive been waiting so long to air this drama and must say its worth watching❤ the chemistry is over flowing? i find my self crying inlove confusing❤ hope it will be a happy ending,

Lun Already in love with the drama! I love when the guy falls first!!! Great casting, and Kim Hye Yoon is amazing, I just love her energy!

julie is this the best kdrama ever!? i love it so much

Aieleen Just watched 4th episode and im already obsessed. I have a feeling this will have a sad ending but hopefully not??. Can't wait for the next episode.

mimimomo ive watched so many timetravel dramas and i must say this drama storyline is refreshing and different with some twists. Im Loving It, could be one of the best dramas this year

Spoiler :

Super hard task for FL to change the future since she cant even reveal it and her going back to 2023 messes up with her effort in 2008. im sure there will be more sad scenes in future eps since i already cried when ML died

YellowTulip25 Byeon Woo-Seok and Kim Hye Yoon are so cute together... I love them so much... I can't wait for each episode... Please make a happy ending for them...

Angel I really love the chemistry!!!! Good job to the writers and director for picking Byeon Woo-Seok and Kim Hye-Yoon. #1 Lovely Runner <3

Crystal I think the villain is CEO Kim

seokjinie the plot reminds me of extraordinary you, the chemistry of the 3 main leads is great, looking forward to this drama, what i love more on this drama is you can't predict what's going to happen

Kikky Kim Hye Yoon’s acting is really underrated. She might not have the visual of a mature beautiful actress but she can do cute and comedy. She really takes those roles seriously and goes all. It’s really refreshing.

Hihihello I liked Extraordinary You and this drama gives similar vibes. Hyeyoon as a female lead and a tall actor as a male lead (Rowoon in EY and Wooseok in this one), the time travel/twist (that's similar to stage and shadow in EY), the second male lead who has loneliness because of his family.

4 episodes so far and love it! Really look forward to the revelation of Sung Jae's death (which might not be suicide attempt), and Sol's accident (which definitely caused by the taxi driver - but why? And who's it?)

Love Hyeyoon, Wooseok, and Geonhee's acting, and they're perfect for their roles!

Haru I love the fourth episode, they answered some questionable plot at the first and second episode. Sunjae's POV at the beginning explains that they were actually close before Im Sol going back to the past, because you can see their photo wasn't on the table.

It's a good thing that Im Sol can change the past. But also frustrating when there's no connection between 2008 and 2023 Im Sol. No matter how hard 2023 Im Sol try to safe Sunjae, 2008 Im Sol can't remember about Sunjae.

Elisa I’m really in love with this new kdrama? It gives me good vibes and of course it’s my favorite kind of kdrama: time travel? So I highly recommend you to watch it if you haven’t yet. And don’t worry about your exams ‘cause this drama is absolutely worth watching!!

Wati After watching episode 4 Wow, the plot is so damn good so far

Love this drama so so so much

Again, i'll wait for monday and tuesday

The female and male leads acting and chemistry are top tier, top notch... Ost sounds very good too

Highly recommended

Alma Please Dont Cancel This Drama- Kntzen Please Support This Drama... twist after twist after twist.. OMG i love how lots of this twist unravel.. You will never regret watching this. I think sun jae didnt commit suicide, i think Sol cannot change her present time, she didnt given the chance to return to change her or sun jae future but to remember sun jae and cherish those moment.

aleput the chemistry ❤️❤️❤️

Sun Can't wait for the next episode..

Emi shenu Aws.My favorite drama.I can't wait for next episode.Thank you for this drama. ??✨?

tia Plot is good, making me wanting more and more. Excited for each episode! Casts are amazing, characters perfectly portrayed. Specia shoutout to Kim Hyeyoon and Byeon Woo Seok! So much emotions and I can feel deeply inside me. Love, please support this kdrama!

Nia ??? Favourite drama 2024

  1. Malaysia

seokjinie the cliffhanger on ep 3 !!!!

Hyeppiending Ep3 is killing me?? punching, crying ? wahhhh sunjaee will be confused as hell. My girl is 2 timing now ?????

Miftahul jannah Because I always wait for the drama "Lovely Runner" on Mondays and Tuesdays ???

Aniee_ I Love It So Much?❤️!! This is honestly one of the best tropes and they execute it perfectly! I love the actress here too, like she's totally someone you'll fall in love with. The guy is pretty good too, like the role of "stoic but actually down bad for the female lead type" is perfect for the actor.

It only took me one and a half episode to get attached to the story and characters!

If you're planning on watching it, Trust Me And Do It! You Won't Regret It??

Happy98 I feel alive watching this drama, just turned 26 this month Interestingly enough that I still have the 18 yo souls left in. Can't wait for the next episodes

Haru I enjoy the third episode. I laughed, cried, and laughed again. I love how human Sunjae they showed us. At the first and second episode we saw Sunjae the way Im Sol saw him. But the third episode, we can see how Sunjae being himself. And the actor portrayed him so well. It's impossible to not like him. Can't wait for the next episode.

Philippines Please don't cancel this drammaaaa we Filipinos love this so much we'll be so hurt if this kdrama will be cancelled.

Joy Everyone who enjoyed watching Twinkling watermelon and wants a kdrama similar to it, this is the one!! Almost the same vibe and storyline! Just finished the first eps and I'm loving it! <3

Nan Beautiful, funny and emotional. Great combination of two fabulous actors as main leads who aren't usually leads. Well thought!

Anon This is so goood. I should’ve wait until all eps come out ? pls don’t cancel this dramaaaaa

Ran Hopefully this drama has happy ending as same as the webtoon. It will be frustrate to see another die of Byeon Woo Seok in drama (and movie) if Im Seol can’t renewal Ryu Sun Jae life, haha.

Regine Salamanca can’t wait for the next ep. im so confused ??

Kim Petition to writer-nim, please let Ryu Sun Jae live! Don't let Byeon Woo Seok "die" again. It was painful to see him die in 20th century girl and strong girl nam soon, haha. Let him be happy in this drama, reset his life and give Sun Jae happy end with Im Sol. I wanna see Byein Woo Seok until this drama end, don't erase him!

Haru Already watched the two episodes and I can't wait til the next Monday. After watched it several times, I love the detail and something questionable they put on the drama.

SPOILER ALERT!

1. About the candy Sunjae likes in the present time, actually that's the type of candy that Im Sol gave him in the past. 2. So it means Sunjae knew about Im Sol and really had a crush on her even before Im Sol back to the past. But why did Im Sol doesn't remember anything about him? She doesn't even remember that Sunjae's school really close to hers. They even are neighbours, of course the knew each other. It means just Im Sol who didn't remember about them. 3. Did Im Sol's accident happened because of Sunjae or atleast Sunjae knew something about her accident? (Because there is a fraction memory of Im Sol when a male scream her name before her accident). Remember when Im Sol asked to her mom about a man who saved her on the day of her accident, her mom said that she didn't know/didn't remember, but maybe she knew something she just didn't want to talk about it. 4. At the accident, we saw Im Sol had a scar on her face as if she was injured by someone. Who did that to her? And what actually happened that day? 5. Even it's just a slight expression, I can see Sunjae feel sad seeing Im Sol in the present. Did seeing her again has anything to do with his decision?

I know it should be a light drama, but I just love the detail and mistery they plant in here. It makes this drama not only fresh but also worth a wait. Aside of the story, I should give big applause to the cast. THEY CAN ACT!!! I can feel Im Sol emotion about losing idol (not just an idol, he is someone who saved her live when she almost give up but cannot save him the way he saved her). Oh my god, I just can't wait to watch every episode.

Purna After watching first two episodes, i am obsessed with this drama..

Hi, give it try... really, it's recommended

SunSol My first Kdrama after Twinkling Watermelon, The first episode still random but you gonna love it in the second episode, The plot twist, hope it give us a happy ending

Ara Jones This hit a spot. When In Sol cried for her grandmother to call her name.. My mom couldn't use her voice because of stroke. I miss her calling my name.. I cried a lot ..

zianti tania I cried a lot. Hope the drama give healing to everyone who watching.

471K I thought that i would not this drama because it's about idol..

But after watching episode 1 and 2, so far, surely This is gonna be my favorite drama of the year and ever

Love the Plot, ost, acting, chemistry and all

lilo thank you casting team for serving us byeon woo seok as the main lead. really cant get enough of his screen time!!! <3

Gb Something change in the future in the end of ep.2 where the photo of sun jae and im sol in the table of the hotel where sun jae died. It looks like so many twist to reveal. So excited for the coming eps.

seokjinie first 2 eps got me giddy bcos of main lead's backstory, reminds me of twinkling watermelon storyline, their chemistry is so good, looking forward to the next eps

lovewooseok Byeon woo Seok is my type

Bleu ZeY This drama made a lot of fans rewatch the first two episodes because of the feels and twists they gave us. I can't wait to watch the next two episodes next week, it makes me want to do a great job for the whole week to reward myself by watching the two new episodes :))) The actors and actresses made a great job and their chemistry is top-tier. Sending love and support from the Philippines!!!????

Double N Byeon woo Seok is my ideal type...

Double N Byeon woo Seok, you are my style... Love you from indonesia

Double N Byeon woo Seokjin, you are my style... Love you from indonesia

sunshine Looking forward for the next episodes!!! This will be one of my comfort kdrama. Kim hye yoon acting skill were so good, so far I love all the casts!! So excited!!!

alma OMG.. i'm a fan of this main leads since 20th century girl (woo-seok) and extra-ordinary you (hye-yoon) both is such a great actor. The chemistry of woo-seok and Hye-yoon is top notch.. The plot is 100/10 ? .. roller coaster of emotion.. laugh so hard and the romantic excitment while watching is keep raising. what a masterpiece. Sun jae admire Im sol first. i think its a love at first sight vibe ? the candy that sun jae likes from the present is the first thing im-sol gave when they first meet.

Precious Amaka I love the movie but we need it on Netflix

Noona OMG!! She poked his nose. I just can't stop laughing!! LMAO! I didn't aspect this drama to be this good. I already love this drama so much and love both ML & FL. P/s: I wonder if he really took his own life or maybe someone pushed him to death. I mean, someone ring the door,right? Looking forward to next episode.

Yeruchii Finally, Kim Hye-Yoon in another drama! She is such a brilliant actress. She owns every character she plays. I can't wait for this to be finished so I can binge. Will make another review afterwards. I'm so happy to see her again on screen ??

상상해 I always get triggered about a comment saying "she isn't pretty for the lead." Is being handsome & pretty everything??? ? kdrama isn't a beauty pageant. I watched a kdrama which many viewers were disappointed at the FL bcs she couldn't act well on her role eventhough she is looking gorgeous. It's all about acting, the FL here is doing very very well like I could get angry, hurt and cried watching her act the scene.

Tuesday I enjoy watching this drama. Episode 2 is so funny! Love both ML and FL. Their chemistry is good. I will continue watching. Hope the ending is not sad.

NY So far, the first episode is a bit cheesy. I hate obsessive fans so I’m disappointed that the main female lead is one. I’m curious as to how this drama will go between a superstar and a fan though. Hopefully it gets better. ??‍♀️

Kikky Everytime she yells ‘Sun Jae-a!’ I also hear ‘Haru-a!’ Haha

Gia I enjoy first and second episodes...

cipedeh Their acting omg... Kim Hye Yoon improved greatly i even cried the whole episode and my eyes are puffy rn Lol, can't wait for the next episode! Finally i found an ongoing drama that i'll be looking for each week<3

Lord V Kim Hye Yoon plays great as always.

Mic omg superb!! Kim Hye Yoon nailed it as always. If you are hesitant and not sure if you like the plot, give ep 1 a try then you will know if it's your drama. I am super invested already haha

Riri Hye Yoon never disappoints as well as Byeon Woo Seok.. Can't wait for the next episode ??????????

471K I enjoy and love watching this so much, not because of the rating, but the plot

The female lead acts so well that I cry and laugh with her. Superb, Top Notch

The first episode is so good Waiting for the next episodes

KHY This drama is so good!!!!

KHY Please watch this drama even though it’s time travel type of drama, it is super good!!! Can’t wait for another episode ??

KL I like the first episode so far... April 8, 2024, they started the episode showing the solar eclipse which in real life it is happening/happened around the world esp. in the America area. I don't know if they timed to release the show/first episode today (April 8) knowing that Solar Eclipse will happen today...Either coincidence or planned, I find it awesome to start their first episode esp. since the Solar Eclipse is happening around the world today, Monday, April 8 is history in the making which will make some sort of a 'mark' or point to the start of this drama. Way to go. Looking forward to this drama.

Ness loving this drama so far <3___<3

kiara Was very excited when I saw Byeon Woo Seok but honestly I'm not a huge fan of time travel so I'm just gonna skip this one.

An_Narcissist So excited to see Kim Hye Yoon & Byeon Woo Seok couple!!♡

darey lee seunghyub new drama!! im crying T_T

Iris The story is so very similar to this webtoon called Back to you. But that webtoon is... too beautiful. I wish they had just made a show based on that webtoon. Its so beautiful.

Claudina Jeez louise.. I'm kind of over the time travel dramas.. don't think I will watch

Erika I am distressed to hear what Kim Hyeyoon's voice will sound like in this. But I love me some Woo-Seok so I guess I'll have to suffer.

Luna Love Kim Hye yoon.. Girl has lot of potential n deserves many many great projects. Hwaiting xoxo

Luna Kim hye yoon carried Extraordinary You on her shoulders. Girl has more potential unexplored. We deserve more of her on screen and she deserves lots n lots of good projects. Awaiting this drama. xoxo

Luna Kim hye yoon carried Extraordinary you on her shoulders. Girl has lots of potential. We deserve more of her on screen and she deserves many many projects. >⁠.⁠< <3

Luna Awaiting this one eagerly ?

Candi I think this movie will premier after Marry my Husband because of the time slot

Suck deez nutz Nice! When will they released it? February 2024????

Natalie I'm so thrilled for this drama!

Someone in the comments said it might be a "highschool drama", which i personally don't think so because i've read the webtoon, this one was written very simple so i'm way more curious about the show itself because they'll add spice for sure.

Anyways as written in an article: "Kim hyeyoon will show her wide spectrum of acting, going back and forth between the ages of 32 and 19."

Coco When is this going to air? It was scheduled to air in November but got delayed until January, but still there is no official announcement about the exact date. I am genuinely looking forward to this, please decide the date as soon as possible

April Omg the synopsis looks so fun! Not to mention they both have a huge height difference, its like Extraordinary You part 2 for the actress lol. Considering she travels back to when he was still in high school, then the plot must be a high school life! Will it be giving out Extraordinary You vibe again as she's the main actress? I'm rooting for this, hope they will air it soon!

Mia I am waiting to see her in a new drama. Kim Hye Yoon acts so well in her every drama. She is gorgeous and cute at the same time.

Hyeyoon lovaaa Doesn’t it have a webtoon version too???

noonim I can't wait!!!!! I hope it comes on a platform that I can watch here in the US.

Zee Omg the height difference is so cute . I love both leads so I'm really looking forward to this

471K I hope it will be successfull, have high rating in korea and international
