Overhyped and not worth to watch.
The beginning episodes brought out a different and unique plotline but the further you watch, the stupid decisions that female lead makes, make me mad for some reason. The script or the directions could have been much better. I feel like the female lead is over acting that does not suit the drama (no offense, as i liked her in extrodinary you). She either smiles brightly or gives a shocking expression.Cet avis était-il utile?
Started so good, but they got lost in the story
Overall the acting is good from most characters but the story got progressively worse. I like the time travel aspect, but after the first episodes they tried to much and the time travel and the actions of both leads didn't make sense anymore. The music was great. Just to list two points I found unfortunate:- A majority of the story played with the characters in highschool and for me the actors are just to old to play highschoolers. At least college student or more of the story in the present instead of the past would've been more fitting.
- Another point I thought was unfortunate that the female lead had a disability in the beginning which I found so good and made here character more complex but that part just got erased in the time travel and never got picked up again, besides the fl remembering everything else just that part she and the writers completely ignored.

I WANTED TO PUNCH HER SOOO BAD....
It's just me that I found the FL annoying, unbearable, and extremely hard to watch?She is sooooooooooooooo annoying that it almost ruined the whole show for me.
It has good aspects and bad as well but because of her, I wanted to punch her every episode. The lying and the stupid actions made me soooooo angry... right right I get it, she did that to protect him, but even when it wasn't needed anymore, she still tried to act as a stupid and ridiculous little girl...
Anyways, he's perfect! That alone its enough to watch the show hahaha.

Definitely overhyped but romance absolutely good and enjoyable
Starting with the basics: This drama SHOULD have been wrapped up in 12 episodes. While it doesn’t necessarily become boring afterward, the pacing and plot could have concluded right then and there. Personally, I got fed up after the 10th episode, watching the main leads—the FL constantly running away from the ML to save his life, only to return, and then repeat the cycle over and over again. If she truly wanted to save his life and spare us from watching her cry in nearly every episode, she should have just moved to a different city or country.Also, what was the killer's/kidnapper's motive? Like, hello? I get that not every killer in movies, series etc. has to have a clear motive, but in such a highly-rated drama, there should at least be a hint as to why he would chase the same girl in every alternate timeline. It doesn't make any sense to me.
The romance was really good—full of fluffiness and steamy kisses. I loved seeing the golden retriever-like ML chasing after the FL and being all lovey-dovey with her. However, the comedy? Not for me. I don't want to compare but there was nothing to laugh about, unlike in Strong Girl Bong Soon, where I laughed in every episode(maybe my type of humour has changed idk)
Another point: Acting
I started watching LR because of Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, both of whom I really like from their previous dramas. But this? A disaster—mainly because of Hye Yoon. I might not have noticed her "overdramatic" expressions in Extraordinary You (which I highly recommend watching), but in this drama, her acting was insufferable. Her expressions and performances were excessively exaggerated and theatrical. Not to mention the second main couple—her sister-in-law and brother (forgot their names). Byeon Woo Seok was... okay? Nothing more, nothing less.
The OST was pretty, but not as memorable as, for example, Goblin or Descendants of the Sun (at least for me).
Overall I wanted to rate this drama 8,5 but giving a second thought it is 7,5.I HIGHLY recommend this drama if you're looking for a good,fluffy romance, especially if you love the "ML chasing after FL" trope.

A whole lot of stupid decisions and a fantastic ML
There are elements of this show that are spellbinding - such as the male lead role and acting execution. Other elements are simply exasperating. Just when you think the main female character will stop making ridiculous decisions - she goes on to make yet another one. This never-ending cycle of irrational and frequently stupid decisions over apparently several attempted lifetime stories (...I'll stop taking his calls - that will stop him from trying to find me..) is what makes the show hard to get through. The chemistry is there and the top-line storyline is interesting but many elements just make this frequently aggravating and unpleasant to watch. The fact that this show has such hype on social media has left me somewhat bewildered.Cet avis était-il utile?

Over used trope
Story was good but it has been done before. Time traveling and romance between a celebrity and a fan is nothing new. . In the first episode, female lead was in a wheelchair and i thought wow this one is going to be good. But that was only shown in 1st episode and she gets normal later. Unfortunately, I was struggling to find some exciting factor in the plot but there was none. Sol gets to travel to the past and change fate but she makes blunders over blunders.i get that it was part of the plot. But it wasn't very interesting to watch same thing over and over again. Apart from her stupidity she was really selfish from the beginning till the end. You are a fan doesn't mean you get to interfere with someone's life like that. For example, she tries to get in his way of joining the band and tries to stop him from auditioning etc. She acts like a stalker not a fan and she treats him soo bad. Male lead had no self respect at all. Love is one thing but that was too much as he tolerated her again and again.Simply put the story was quite bland and had no exciting moments. It was hard to keep watching.

(Sadly) I agree, this is overhyped
I really really really wanted to love this. It started off incredibly great, I was on the edge of my seat hugging my pillow for the first couple of episodes and then at some point it just turned so incredibly random.It felt like someone had a pitch for the series and maybe the first couple of episodes thought out and then at some point they just winged it without any plan at all whatsoever. There were a bunch of fillers with a bit too much comic relief and a bit too little plot. They could have cut this show short by 5 episodes and it would have probably been a decently good show.
Although, even so the main plot had a bunch of holes (which is to be expected for this kind of story but still this one overdid it a little on the lack of logic front…).
The female lead is a bit… particular, her choices seem awfully random and not very thought out at all.. considering the whole thing kind of just revolves around her that was a bit annoying.
Now some positives which still made me sort of like this overall:
- it did have some exciting parts (although a lot of it was predictable too)
- I sincerely laughed quite a bit
- I absolutely adored the male lead (although his character does have some issues but I don’t mind particularly)
- male lead actor… just… <3
- soundtrack was pretty great and catchy
That’s it, overall I don’t think this was bad but it definitely does not live up to the hype, and it definitely did not live up to its own potential ..

Didn’t like the female cast.Kim Hye-yoon looks like a old hag
Finished Lovely Runner yesterday. Good enough as a rom-com. The love chemistry between the hero and heroine was very strong and the romance was there. I mean, it has all the sweet romance a viewer wants. In short, it lives up to the name "Lovely".Now let's talk about the main plot. I am a fan of dramas such as personal time travel, body switch (Hollywood, Bollywood, Anime, K drama all). Looking at the depth of the story, it seems a little weak. Like other dramas, it could not hold intense, suspense. 4 - What I was predicting in episode 5 happened in the drama plot twist.
Kim Hye-yoon is only 27 years old. The school dress looks older for some unknown reason. It doesn't suit her very well.Her acting is so poor and over acted in every scenes.
Overall it was an enjoyable drama.

Good start, but lazy writing happened.
I watched this show expecting a lot because of the hype surrounding it but was let down. People were even comparing it to Twinkling Watermelon which was a top tier drama for me. I could tolerate it for a bit hoping that it would get better, but ultimately the female leads character is extremely annoying and I didn’t see any chemistry between the two leads. The plot is confusing at times but also very cliche and corny. I was waiting for a different result with the many chances the main character was given to change things. However, with the exception of the first back in time, it was a repeat of almost the same thing every time after. It’s not that I didn’t like it, but it was hard watching the female lead keep making the same mistakes trying to push the male lead away just to get the same result.First few episodes are good, but there were so many plot holes in the storyline plus the lazy writing towards the end that just ruined this drama for me. Not a MUST WATCH! like what everyone is saying, but good for a one time watch.

Cheesy, thoughtless, incomplete details
I'm sorry my dear friends - I truly tried to be fair and complete the episodes. But from ep.10 itself it started dragging so badly that I barely managed to torture myself till ep.12.It had so much promise so I waited for all episodes to be released then decided to binge watch. But alas!
Maybe the story/ screen play writer went back in time and forgot to come back??
Or they flew into the future and left the balance script for amateurs to fill in the gaps??
Whatever.....it's an irresponsible story with vague events, one sided chemistry from the ML, worthless romance etc etc.
Is someone beating you guys up that you have to produce such high quantity at the risk of poor low quality dramas?
I have not seen one decent romance k drama to date in 2024.
Your country, culture and wonderful entertainment has taken the world by storm - hope you can go back to making high quality dramas with some time, effort and love ?

Começa confuso, desenvolve de forma interessante, mas se repete no que não precisava
O início tem muita informação jogada ao mesmo tempo que te deixa desnorteado, não entendi porque a direção resolveu jogar tanta coisa da história logo na introdução, deveriam ter diminuído o ritmo para os expectadores se familiarizarem mais com os rostos dos personagens, suas características e relações uns com os outros.Você quase que desiste de continuar a ver por causa disso. Contudo, se você dá chance, se surpreende porque a história avança de forma curiosa e interessante. Eu fiquei contente com o papel principal do Byun Woo Suk, porque ele é um excelente ator (além de muito bonito), e desde "Passarela de Sonhos" achava injusto ele pegar papel secundário com todo talento que tem.
A trama é complexa e foge da mesmice, acerta em muitos aspectos, especialmente nos pequenos detalhes de transições entre o passado e o presente, entre promessas, gestos, falas marcantes. Se olhar apenas nisso, você poderia ter uma excelente impressão.
Entretanto, "Adorável Corredora" falha em dois pontos que não podem ser ignorados:
O primeiro: o amor que gira em torno entre Ryu Seon Jae e a Im Sol é um juvenil demais em vários momentos para uma história que é mais madura, o tanto que este homem insiste e corre atrás de uma moça que nunca deu nenhum esforço de reciprocidade beira ao masoquismo, muito irreal e forçado, feito sob medida apenas para alimentar corações femininos ingênuos.
O segundo: conforme caminha para sua conclusão, o roteiro falha imensamente ao repetir elementos que já foram explorados ao longo da série, chega uma hora que você só quer acabar logo de assistir e ver como acaba por mera curiosidade e não porque ficou envolvido. Os episódios finais me soaram muito com "fillers", arrastando-se para manter a audiência sem qualidade de enredo.

Average writing but watchable because of leads chemistry
I enjoyed watching this, but it wasn't what I expect. I first realized this when they revealed Sunjae actually liked Sol after all that time. It was a bit unrealistic, and it felt too orchestrated. The part I most enjoyed was watching the time they were in high school since that's when we see the most development. But most of all, I really enjoyed the chemistry of the leads. Even though the writing was lacking, this made it entertaining. Onto the things I disliked, the back and forth between the present and the past started to drag, and I feel like it impacted the story a lot. I also didn't like the murder storyline and like in most romance kdramas, it just didn't fit. The change of tones was too drastic. One minute we have comedy and romance and then we have thriller and suspense. Doing this successfully is a task but this drama is another one that failed at it. After episode 12, I just started to skip scenes and I was just too impatient to see something with substance and finally know if destiny was going to favor Sunjae and Sol.Cet avis était-il utile?
