Dumb in the best possible way!

This drama has been a very fulfilling experience from beginning to end. Show of the year so far! A list of amazing elements:
- The pilot episode: Hear me out, every kdrama so far for me has been a struggle to get into. No pilot episode by itself has ever held my attention the way this one did. KHY’s acting alone in the first episode was enough to pull me in. They did an Excellent job on writing the best pilot episode in the entire dramaland!
- Excellent FL! One of the best FL’s I’ve ever seen in a kdrama. She’s brave, determined abd puts him first almost everytime. Also, the actress is incredibly entertaining and has the most cheerful temperament. She’s a delight to watch!
- A ML who is worth all of the struggles! Sun Jae(a)… is sweet, shy, caring (the whole list of positive adjectives lol), but also kind of an idiot/loser in front of Im Sol. He truly brings life to the show with his smile and infectious energy. (And his ‘aggressive’ kissing scenes 😂)
- Usually I’m not the most interested in romantic shows, but this is certainly Romance done right! They’re overly cute, but when you consider the timelines and everything they went through, the cuteness/aegyo makes sense!
- The supporting cast (In Hyuk, grandma, Kim Tae Sung, mom, dad, manager) were all perfect in their respective roles. All of the supporting cast had their own mini story, and a purpose in the plot, which is refreshing since they weren’t simply adding pointless characters.
- The music/orgininal soundtrack from “Eclipse” charted for real in Korea, since that’s how amazing it is!
- Exceptional acting from all of the actors, but especially from BWS as this is his first large scale male lead role!
A few cons (unfortunately!) :
- I liked the best friend, but in the early episodes Im Geum and her story was the only parts I forwarded in the show. It didn’t hold my attention, seemed a little pointless, and it kind of made me cringe. (Like them happily married with kids in the future though!)
- Plot holes: regardless of how interesting or amazing the show is, it has quite a few plot holes. In one of the early episodes Sun Jae says “I would have still done swimming at 19 even if I knew how it would turn out.” That made me so sure he knew what was going on, or time travelled as well. Since the original webtoon has that story, perhaps they planned for it but changed it after? It was just a little strange that the ML ended up being more of Mary Sue character (very iconic lol) despite multiple parts that make you believe he knows what’s going on.
The time travel has some issues as well with timelines not matching up and some stuff they missed. Sun Jae’s unexplored depression and Sol’s disability were kind of pointless at the end and should’ve been explored more.
I’m not usually the person to say this, but there’s enough sadness and social commentary in real life. I like the idea of the leads having a miserable fate and a fun adventure which leads to a way happier ending. Ultimately, it’s good, direction, acting, singing, so I can overlook the writing here because of the joy these dumb characters bring. And the show is worth more than 1 watch, which isn’t something I’ve felt about any show before!

This series had me at the edge of my seat since episode 1. I was waiting impatiently for mondays to watch the new episode and rewatched every episode again while waiting. It has the perfect amount of comedy, romance and thrill. I got second hand embarrassment so many times watching these 2 losers being madly in love. I was giggling and kicking my feet just to cry my eyes out in the next scene. A rollercoaster of emotions. The story is not perfect. It has some issues especially in regards to the villain and Im Sol family but I don't care to be honest its still a 10 in my eyes. One of the best I've seen.
Kim Hye Yoon ( as Im Sol ) , Byun Woo Seok ( as Ryu Sung Jae ) and Song Geon Hee ( as Tae Sung ) have found themselves a new fan. I will be paying close attention to their projects from now on.
Kudos to writer Lee Shi Eun and all the people in production. Its just perfect.
The OSTs are beautiful too

THE BEST OF 2024....

The drama is spectacular for real that I cried so hard so many times because of sadness as well as joy.
I can't accept the fact it ended my Mondays and Tuesdays won't be joyful anymore 😭
The drama is full of emotions have all sort of things that a Rom Com should have.
The Writer portrayed every single thing so amazingly.
The cast choice was also very amazing.
Woo Seok Oppa did great job as well as Hye Yoon Unnie.
I am glad all other actors rejected character of Sunjae because this character was only meant to be for Woo Seok Oppa.
I am glad it delayed 3 years atleast we got amazing cast.
The best of line of Drama will be the quote which will stay in my heart forever.
Grandma: "Although the mind forgets the memories but the heart would never, all the precious time and moments you spend is smeared in ones soul"
The drama was wholesome and my heart felt it for real.
Although I don't Rewatch the Dramas But I'll probably be rewatching this drama😭💞.

Amazing show - Lovely Runner

This show was amazing, it was a roller coaster ride waiting for the episodes to be released. Very well written story, finally was satisfied to witness the happy ending. The acting of all the actors in this show was amazing.

We fans were so addicted to this series that we have an ongoing watch party along with a chatroom wherein we discussed the different scenarios and timetravels. I am pretty sure to re-watch this series a number of times.

The authenticity of the show can be seen with the amount of effort that was put in the making of this show like the ML actually singing the song for the series and also training for swimming to prove his commitment to this series.

I truly wish the stars of this show get the recognition, fame and success which they deserve.
