"Memories don't disappear instead they all are smeared into your soul."
I am high on this show, engulfed by it. I am 10 feet under somewhere with hands on my heart coz it won't calm down. Finally a kdrama with such a perfect end. This is how you wrap up things, this is how! The audience should feel this much by the end forgetting all the sorrows endured by them and the characters throughout, forgetting the hiccups if there were any. I was guessing a lot while watching, wondering how are they going to answer these questions and if they could wrap it up with ease and they did. For me, they did."Memories don't disappear instead they all are smeared into your soul. Even if my brain forgets, my soul hasn't. It's been keeping every piece. of it"
The quote above by Sol's grandma encompasses the essence of this show. There were so many resets, changing plots, actions and whatnot, but Sun Jae's soul retained everything. His emotions were everywhere because his soul had memories but his brain didn't. My heart felt too much for him and Im Sol. They met many times and started their story together again and again only to end up with that fate. Push and pull to alter the fate in vain. Seeing Im Sol alone hurt my heart, but seeing Sun Jae falling in love again made it go pity-pat. The show wasn't about why things were happening the way they were happening or what ticked the killer to go after them like that. I believe that the killer was just a plot device to change the time, to show us the love Sun Jae and Im Sol had for each other across time and space. They were the centre of the story. One of the best romances in Dramaland.
Comedy in this one is gold, second-hand embarrassments that I felt for them and with them lol. The other characters supported the plot well. In Hyuk's reactions were everything. And I can only accept the love triangle like in this one. SML, you deserve all the happiness too. Acting is 10/10. PERFECT!
The music in this one is again top-tier, been listening on loop, obsessed. I mourned the loss of Sonaki too. I can name at least five songs I am obsessed with rn. Combining QOT and LR music albums, ig we are in the golden era of kdrama music.
The ending of this show had me giggling throughout, finally after all that angst ( I loved that too). Cried too many times and laughed in equal measure as well. All worth it. Deserving of all the hype.

Best drama of the year!
It's been quite a long time since I feel this obsessed with a drama. Everything seems to be perfect.. the actors, the music, the story line.. this drama really beats the common conception of a typical low rating drama (it only fot 5.x%), but being loved by a lot of people in South Korea and more than 100 countries.Thank you Sunjae and Im Sol for giving me the best Monday and Tuesday, waiting for new episodes, for the past 2 months. I will miss this kind of drama in the future..

Rewatch every single episode
With other dramas it's often like when you've finished one you think it was great but I don't know if I'll watch it again because it would be boring - and with lovely runner it's quite the opposite after each episode you want to go back to the beginning and actually knowing all that we know today you look at the first episodes differently - feelings are stronger because you know that behind every song, phone, gesture there's some story...Cet avis était-il utile?

Um verdadeiro romance adorável
Nem acredito que lovely runner realmente acabou. Que drama consistente, lindo sei láA gente sofreu muito no decorrer da história, mas sorrimos muito e amamos ver esse romance acontecer. A história dos personagens secundários foi muito consistente também, a avó dela sabendo de tudo foi tão incrível, ela jogando o relógio fora, falando pra ele que eles podiam ser felizes juntos eu chorei TANTO, me sinto tão feliz de verdade, aquela peste morreu, mereceu demais, o tae seong cumprindo a promessa dele, o drama todo foi movimentado pelo destino, inclusive ele merecia mais viu? Não perdôo não terem colocado um romance secundário pra ele, ia ser incrível
Mas podemos falar da Sol e do Sunjae? Eu nem sei o que falar deles, entregaram tudo, emoção, sentimento, química 😭 me apaixonei demais por eles e não sei como será daqui pra frente.
A OST desse drama é perfeita demais, eu amei tanto esse último episódio, ter o episódio todo deles sendo felizes foi o maior presente, amei demais! Tô tão feliz, meu maxilar tá doendo porque passei uma hora sorrindo 😭 não sei mais o que dizer

"A Rollercoaster of Romance and Suspense"
"Lovely Runner" is hands down one of the most romantic dramas I've ever watched. The overflowing love between Sunjae and Sol is just too adorable to handle. Sunjae's constant devotion to Sol, never letting her slip from his mind, melts my heart every time.And let's talk about Sunjae's second-hand embarrassment – it's like watching a cute puppy trying to impress his crush. Every awkward moment he faces just adds to the charm of the show. And the comedy scenes with the whole family? Pure gold. I couldn't stop laughing at their antics.
It was a decent watch, offering a strong chemistry between the lead actors and a fair share of romance. For viewers craving sweet romance, it's a perfect fit. However, it didn't quite hold onto intensity and suspense like some other dramas. What I predicted in the fourth or fifth episode turned out to be the main plot twist.
But what really surprised me was how second lead steps up to save Sunjae – talk about unexpected heroics.
From high school sweethearts to a married couple, "Lovely Runner" takes you on a journey filled with love, laughter, and a hint of danger. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys a good romantic drama with too much romance 😜

I could not get past episode 2. Too boring to continue
A friend recommended this drama because she liked it so much. However, I could not get past episode 2. It was too boring, slow, and unengaging.My friend was raving about this drama, and I am unsure why. I found it too childish, and I am done with high school love romance.
Grrr................

Surprisingly good
I was at first hesitant to watch this because there wasn't anything in the title that made it sound interesting. But surprisingly, this rom-com is such a breath of fresh air.From the visuals, backdrop, actors, dialogue....close to perfection :) It is not like your typical rom-com which gets boring after a while. This one continues to deliver a great and interesting storyline.
It is my first time to watch Byeon Woo Seok and he nailed being a high schooler. So did Kim Hye Yoon for that matter.
The camaraderie of the cast is apparent in their interaction and each carried out their roles impeccably.
This is now the only kdrama that I am looking forward to now that QOT has finished its run. Can't wait for the next episodes...

Run don't walk
What if there was someone in this world who would fall in love with you at every stage of life and under every circumstance? What if he was willing to die for you as long as he could spend one extra moment with you? The hopeless romantic in me leaps for joy!Lovely Runner may not have the most original storyline but it is a well made drama that will keep you fully engaged. It has the perfect blend of romance, comedy and thrills. The best part of it was the pacing. As soon as you felt that the story was dragging, the story would take a sudden turn. At no point was I ever bored. I also want to highlight the comedy. In almost every episode there is at one scene where you'll burst out laughing. Very few dramas can do comedy without it being over the top after some time.
As far as acting goes, every does a good job. I've seen Byeon Woo Seok, in several dramas but this is the first time he has truly shined. I wish more success in future. Kim Hye Yoon also does a good job but I feel the character is not much different from Extraordinarily You. supporting roles were fine but special mention goes to Lee Seung Hyub and Kim Won Hae. I really liked their roles.
The music was pleasant. If I Eclipse was a real k-pop band, I would likely have been a fan. The music was a treat to watch.
Although the twists and turns would be less impactful, I really think it will be a good rewatch.
To sum it up, don't hesitate. Just watch the drama, there is a high chance that you'll end up loving it just as much as as I did.

A truly lovely experience
*Very slight spoilers ahead*Ahhh, Lovely runner. You know those series you begin to watch and from the very first episode you KNOW you are going to love IF the writers don't f**k you up? Yep, this series was one of those for me.
While the story does lack in some regions here and there and there are just a bunch of repetitive and annoying things that happen quite a bit that made me audibly groan, overall its a very vary enjoyable watch. All the actors, the music and the good ending really did give this series an extra star from my original rating. Never have I ever swooned so much and genuinely loved a character as much as I love Ryu Sun Jae, the greenest of all green flags, this man is a freaking forest. Byeon Woo Seok did a fantastic job portraying him.
This has the same vibes of Twinkling Watermelon (though that one had a stronger storyline). So if you're looking for a heartwarming romance with just a sprinkle of fantasy that will make you giggle and kick your feet like a little girl, definitely go for it. The hype for this is truly worth it!

Perfect Summer Binge!
I started watching this just yesterday and have successfully binged all 9 episodes that have come out (with the 10th one on its way today (who cares about studies)). Throughout this, I was kicking my feet, giggling like a schoolgirl, so invested that I forgot that sleep is a biological need. Nevertheless, I thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it. Warning: it will make you feel very lonely if you are single (because it happened to me too). Even though Hye Yoon looks like she is getting typecast after her role in Extraordinary You (but I know she is a very versatile actor), I still enjoyed her character in this! Woo Seok on the other hand I've not seen enough of since 20th Century Girl (brb crying) so it's always a pleasure to see him and hear him. My only concern is if he is a good actor, which will not be established until I see him in a few more roles. Right now, he is decent and will make you fall in love with him (but I attribute that more to the character and how well Woo Seok has portrayed it - the role really suits him (I haven't watched Strong Girl Nam Soon so don't come at me)). The drama is also a pleasure to watch because all of the cast is so good-looking! But seriously how are you scolding someone for not sleeping/having dark circles under their eyes when I can see that their skin is shining brighter than my future???? Enough nagging. They do discuss heavier themes which I always like but it's more a swoon-worthy drama than a slice of life. You will not regret watching it. Fingers crossed for a happy ending!!Cet avis était-il utile?
a cute couple with a lot of chemistry!
What a wonderful series!!! It has comedy, cuteness, reflections, what a beautiful love from Im Sol and Sun Jae The turns of the Sun's time to save and protect your love... Kdrama taught me several things: Love always wins! Perfectoooo The songs are perfect!!!!! It's really worth watching LOVELY RUNNER 🏼Cet avis était-il utile?
Every second you put into this drama will be worth it.
I'm actually so surprised at the bad reviews when I tell you i lovedddd this Kdrama so much...I literally couldn't wait for the days it would come out. I'm a big fan of both Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon so its no surprise i loved this. I had high expectations coming into it and finished this drama feeling satisfied. I normally hate Mondays and Tuesdays but when lovely runner started I would be so excited for the weekends to end. It was the one thing i looked forward to every week. So when this drama ended i felt so empty😔After watching this kdrama it set such high expectations for me with other dramas. One of my 3 dramas ever and I've watched a lot😭Cet avis était-il utile?
