Sol had gotten into an accident and had no will to live a life. However, a phone call from Seon Jae, the vocalist of the group Eclipse, gave her hope and comfort. Since that day, she has become Sun Jae’s fan. Years have passed, and Sol goes to Seon Jae’s concert. But a few hours later, Seon Jae is found dead. And then, Sol goes back to 2008, when Seon Jae was still alive. (Source: Viu)

This ep made me feel so many emotions

In a single episode I am truly hooked. As a kpop fan myself, who has loved and charished idols that committed, i was crying along side the FL. The shock that comes with the news, noy believing it only for the worst to be true.... I'm happy the drama is talking about yhe negatives of idol life but also allowing it to be fixed (hopefully). The absolute joy she got when she went back in time was beautiful, something that warmed my heart quickly and fully. On a lighter note, this truly reminds me of older dramas that I hold dear to me and I am here for it. I cant wait to watch more so that i can understand the characters and follow them along this journey.

갑작스러운 소나기가 내 머릿속에서 조용히 놀고 있어 <3 <3 <3

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

sonagi is playing quietly in my head

overall this drama is so good that there's no boring episode it will make you binge watch this the whole day. This is one of the best romcom drama I've ever seen there's no corny jokes at all. This will give you all the feels heartbreak, nostalgia, frustrations, excitement, euphoric happiness and etc. The romantic scenes are not cringy at all it's so natural chemistry is chef's kiss they're like a match made in heaven. Even the OSTs are perfect you can listen to them nonstop. Their choice for the member of Eclipse band is perfect too. Their visuals and talent as a band is really giving. Byeon Woo Seok as Ryu Sun Jae is the probably the best choice the producers made. The production for this drama was delayed for three years due to actors declining the male lead role but I can say that it's for the best. They found the perfect embodiment of Ryun Sun Jae in Byeon Woo Seok. It's been a really long since the last time I got emotionally invested in a Kdrama. Lovely Runner will always have a soft spot in my heart.

this drama looks promising

The last time I got hooked by Kdramas is the year 2016 - 2017 where Kdramas are truly perfection you can binge watch one after another. It's the time when Kdrama is at it's peak. Nowadays it's really hard to finish one I have so many pending Kdramas in my list and I can't seem to find my motivation to finish them but this came along and Lovely Runner ended my longing for a really damn good Kdrama. This drama gave me the same feeling once again, the thrill and excitement that I feel in every episode made me want to watch this in just one day. It's a masterpiece that I've been craving for so long. I am so happy that I finally watch this after ignoring this from my recommendation for so long and to every person who haven't watch this yet, you are missing out a lot. Lovely Runner may not be on Netflix and does not have the highest ratings on television but you can clearly see it's popularity and how well received it is by the fans like me.

interesting

the first episode really captured my interest with this drama. i am a fan of kim hye yoon with her previous work in Extraordinary You. i am hoping that the plot of this drama would be less complicated and confusing compared to Extraordinary You. That drama really left me hanging, it's ending was bittersweet and open-ending, i hope this one will be different.

This will be my favorite drama forever. Most iconic masterpiece. Firstly i really love the cast .No one can play sun jae role better than byeon woo seok . Also im sol role suits her so much. The story line is just amazing. To be honest i don't have words to explain my emotions. I'm too sad to think that this drama is going to end and next week their last 2 episodes will be aired . I don't want it to end . I can't watch long dramas but if drama is lovely runner then i can watch it nonstop and can repeat it over and over again . This drama have everything romance, thriller, fantasy , suspense, trauma , fun just everything. My English is not good so that's all 😂😂🤌Just in love with this drama ❤️❤️❤️ thumbs up 👍👍👍

Positive Female Lead

Okay here me out, usually im someone who doesn’t really care much about who or how the FL acted but this. She had an accident but years passed and she became a positive person. I mean that is something and she portrayed the FL so well like wow. I enjoyed the first episode and patiently waiting for the next

In KHY we trust. What an versatile actress

Start watching it for KHY & time travel is one of my favourite genres but purely delighted with how amazing the story is.The first 9 minutes hits you hard. The desperation & the consolation. Kudos for the leads' acting.In Sol's lowest moment, Sunjae's words enlightens her to live the fullest & positively When her idol dies, she goes back to 2008 & meets 19-yo-Sunjae

I really enjoyed Kim Hye Yoon in 'Extraordinary You.' She's great in this first episode. Extremely impressed with her acting and the storyline seems new and interesting so far.

Hope

The flow of the story is very good, especially for the actors who performed this drama, it gave me a break from work, it's good that even though I'm old, these dramas are still not boring, also the actors and actresses who performed like ImSol and Sunjae found out.

Positive attitude

I loved how positive the FL is. The actress has managed to portray a hardcore groupie without turning into a psycho harasser. She showed the bitterness and depression that follows a disability and then she managed to find happiness even when things don't go as planned (eg not being able to enter the concert). It 's so realistically and yet poignantly conveyed that it tugged at my heartstrings.

i love ittttttttttttt

As a fan of some idols, kim hye yoon's acting is superb! I can see myself through her (simping at sun jae along with her) hahahah I think I missed reading the part that she was disabled when reading the synopsis so it took me a quite surprise in an awesome way (i have never watched a disabled lead before in a drama so this is new)!

Perfect Execution

I was recommended this from a friend. I read the synopsis and was 100% confident I wouldn't like it but somehow, this blew my mind away and left me excited for next episode. To think that this drama has everything I hate: celebrity-fan trope, romance, high school and the list just goes on. Yet, Lovely Runner manages to execute all perfectly (as of now).

EP 1

EP 1 completely surpassed my expectations. I loved it from the first minute to the last. Every moment was enjoyable and i felt a range of emotions from sadness to joy.

Kim Hye Yoon truly shined in EP 1, she was undoubtedly the star of the episode. Her versatility was remarkable, she portrayed anger, humor, mischief and more with ease. She also brought back memories of her Extraordinary You era.
Byeon Wooseok also delivered good performance in EP 1, capturing the portrayal of depression as an idol convincingly.Having read the webtoon's available 40 chapters, i noticed a few changes but i liked them as they added depth to the story.

EP 1 evoked reminiscences of the writer's previous works like True Beauty and Extraordinary You. The school scenes resembled those of Extraordinary You, while other scenes resonated with the style of True Beauty.
Finally we have a proper youth romcom after a long wait. Mondays are bound to be delightful from now on.
I believe this show will undoubtedly become as popular as True Beauty in the future, propelling its actors especially Byeon Woo-seok to stardom similar to Cha Eunwoo & Hwang InYeop's rise after True Beauty.Overall im eagerly anticipating the next episode.

OMG!! Its good

Pues en verdad no tenía pensado ver este drama por ahora, pero al ver tanto escandaloso por las redes con solo 2 episodio yo dije que tenia que verla para saber si vale la pena tanto show.Y pues la verdad este primer cap fue intenso, un episodio que me hizo viajar a mi yo de 14/15 años obsesionada con 1D, siendo leal aun cuando se en la actualidad que no volverán. Y fue lindo sentir esa calidez , pero luego entramos a una zona oscura donde vemos la depresión, y es que aveces uno como fan suele olvidar de que esos famosos son humanos y en algun momentos necesitan descansar, dejar de lado el trabajo y enfocarse en ellos mismos por un momento aunque sea.Duele saber que aún hoy día se ven casos así, donde sobreexplotan a los artistas y ellos no pueden hacer nada, solamente sonreír a la cámara y llorar en privado. Aveces es tan fuerte el estrés, desánimo, la angustia, la depresión en sí,que solo ven el suicidio como su única salida.

An impactful first episode

Even though i've just seen the first episode and the second one just aired, this is a perfect first episode to start a series!Time-travel and idol-fan love is nothing new to see, more so lately where writers seem to love to exploite the back in time plot, but i thought i should give it a go, at least the first episode, and it was a lot more than i expected!The opening scene is impactful and even after the whole episode has finished it lingers in the mind. And the way you see already the way the main character personality and mentality has changed over time is really interesting. I like to see how the idol's world works and i hope more is in the making for these upcoming episodes.So far, the acting is good and i am really invested (I am so gladly surprised about Seunghyub's character, and i can't wait to see more of him, that angry moment was so good... he has potential to become a great actor!!)Hope this drama doesnt downfall and keeps the hype to the end.

Typical pilot episode

Imsol is a cute and bubbly character and I like her mindset. It makes me want to root for her. I like the range of emotions portrayed by both leads in the first episode. I hope we explore more why exactly Sunjae did what he did but I don't think that will happen. I will continue to watch the show but I'm not hooked yet. The visuals are great though.

The Fan and The Idol Who Saved Her Life

The premiere hit us with comedy and tears all at once. One minute, we were laughing, and the next, we were crying. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but it was definitely worth the watch. The visuals, cinematography and music are perfectly interwoven to bring this story to life. Although this is just the first episode, Byeon Woo-seok did a fantastic job portraying Sung-jae. Kim Hye-yoon was also a delight to watch. They seem to understand their characters and effortlessly execute their respective roles.This first episode gave us a beautiful and sad introduction to the main characters. We have Sung-Jae, a famous idol who commits suicide after battling depression. His music saved many, but unfortunately, it was not enough to save him in his darkest moments. It is hard to perfectly sum up the loss his family, Im Sol, and his other fans must feel.In most cases, those left behind have questions and feel guilty for not doing enough or seeing the signs. For the past few years. Sung-jae gave Im Sol and many others a reason to live. In a way, he was there for her through her darkest moment. He showed her the light at the end of the dark tunnel. His loss is confusing and painful.Im Sol feels guilty and hopes to change Sung-jae’s fate by staying back in 2008 and saving him. However, it is not her fault; hopefully, she will realise this soon. It also won’t be easy to relive the sad moments in her life. She is the only one who knows the future, and she is going through twice the pain. We look forward to seeing her plan to save him and how it will affect the future.This show will heavily touch on mental health, suicide and loss. It can be triggering for some. However, these are important topics, and we as a society need to discuss them more. This show offers a great platform to start these conversations and shed away some of the stigma that comes with depression and suicide.

first impression: really solid first episode

this was a really solid first episode. we learned about our protagonist and why she was attached to Seon Jae, how much she cares for her family, how thankful she is to be alive and have good initial view into Seon Jae's character within the second half. i will say, the songs featured in the eclipse concert were honestly so good, i'll be listening to them and streaming as well

all in all, it was a good set up to the series and hopefully we get more on the leads characters, especially seon jae.

Sets the decor

I really enjoyed this first episode and look forward to watching this new drama! Honestly each actor and actress is a treat, I like the light atmosphere and deep characters. Seem like a fun watch and I love the time travelling aspect. Also feel really refreshing to have a disabled character in a drama, even though it's just for half an episode...
