there is a plot that has not been explained in more detail
This is a beautiful story, a drama with a true romantic comedy genre. Even though the main characters of this drama have big problems because they are dealing with a taxi driver character, that doesn't mean the content of the story is always about anxiety about what will happen. So I really enjoyed watching the drama because the plot was neat and fresh.in terms of OST, cinematography, acting, even other small things, I think it's perfect. It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen a drama with content like this.
I like all the actors' acting which is perfect and can bring this very fantasy story to life. Happiness and sadness and even shame really reach the audience of this drama.
Actually, the part about Sunjae who died in the first timeline is still not enough to explain a little. The discussion about the part of a watch being a time travel tool is also limited even though it has only been shown implicitly. but because all 15 episodes are full of plot twists, it feels lacking because there is no breakthrough about the mystery of this watch. (I wanted to give a score of 9 if there was a more detailed explanation about the time travel)
Overall this drama is very beautiful. every episode is unpredictable what it will be like. The scriptwriter seems to know what the audience will think, so it breaks the audience's imagination with a better plot.
This is a vivid fantasy story, as if time travel really exists. I really appreciate every beautiful content of the drama. acting that satisfies the audience and feels very real.
Thank you to the cast and crew of Lovely Runner for this amazing drama.

I will love you in a any universe
May 28, 2024Lovely Runner has ended and I am so sad about that. A drama that has been boycotted in the beginning yet able to surpass all the hate it received. Able to be loved by many viewers like me. A drama, I was so hyped to watch and it delivered all until the very last episode. A drama that ignited my Kdrama slump as other kdramas fell flat. Lovely Runner, you have jumped to the S-tier list of my Kdramas. I know that many might say "how is this S-tier?". Well in my opinion, it is. A mixture of rom-com, fantasy, time travel. A lovely casts and it make sense why it took a while for production to hit. Thank you for those who rejected the previous offered role of Sunjae as I would not think any other actor than Byeon Woo Seok can play him. Sunjae was made to be played by him. And with our lovely female lead Kim Hye Yoon, she played Sol real well.
The plot progression of this drama is amazing. It perfectly captured the 16 episode timeslot that they deserved. Each Mon and Tues I look forward to watched, I have never been disappointed. Only kept wanting more and being hooked more onto the upcoming episode. It was indeed a lovely ride (yes, I'll keep using this word a lot... heheh.). I feel that no drama will fill the hole this will leave in my heart as any of the upcoming dramas/on going dramas right now are not my cup of tea.
I am happy how they never made the second lead a bad person. He truly deserved the best, Tae Song, I hope you were able to find your partner whom will love you. Our loserism, male lead, I think this characteristic of his, is the reason why so many people love him. To be honest, we are all sick of the rich boy, smart student tropes. His personality is a fresh of breath and that is why it is so well-received. I truly want a Sunjae in my life, someone who is a green flag, a forest of green, like him. I am happy how he was able to survive all of the demise upon him. It was just so fulfilling seeing him happy at the end. For our female lead, I love her so much. The development of her character and growth was chef's kiss. She really beat the odds against them. Sol, I am so proud of you. And I know many viewers have criticize you for being dramatic and overly a cry-baby. But I will always defend you given how much you have to witness and suffer.
Can we also talk about how great the chemistry of our leads? It was off the charts, through the roof. They gave all the fluffs, the pain, the angst, the tears, all the we needed to feel. We felt that.
I don't want to say goodbye yet since the past month has been amazing due to Lovely Runner.
I can't wait to rewatch you again. You are one of my comfort drama that I will keep on rewatching over and over again.

Nuevamente los protagonistas salvando la pereza del escritor
Siendo honesta yo estaba muy enamorada de este drama hasta el capítulo 8, creo que por eso fui generosa con mi calificación. Es una pena que el escritor fuera tan flojo para brindarnos una buena historia, considerando que tenía material de donde sacarla.Nuevamente vemos otro kdrama que fue rescatado por la pareja protagonista, que al parecer ha sido la tendencia de estos últimos años.
Respecto al capítulo 16, parecía más un capítulo especial que un final, hicieron record de aproximadamente 5 minutos en resolver todo el enredado con el villano, se notó la confianza y pereza de la producción, que sabían que aún con un capítulo X, iban a tener el mismo número de audiencia.

Skip The Reviews
This is my favorite k-drama that I have ever watched! ✨Ryu Sun-Jae is pure perfection and unmatched compared to any other mmc! Both Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon did a fantastic job acting and portraying a multitude of gut wrenching emotions. I swear this k-drama had every romance trope; High School Romance, College Romance, Adult Romance, Idol Romance, Sports Romance (Swimming), Non-Toxic Love Triangle, Time Travel, Enemies To Lovers, Soulmates, etc… Stop reading the reviews and please watch Lovely Runner right now!!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Lovely Runner is Chef's Kiss
I fell in love with Kdramas 12 years ago. Lovely Runner reminds me why I watch dramas. Perfect mix of romance, humor and mystery. Pure escapism with two charismatic and attractive leads with oodles of chemistry. I wish more dramas would be made that give a satisfying ending and help me forget the real world for a little while. Love it!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Easily one of my favorites
I've watched K-Drama consistently as far back as Full House (with Rain and Song Hye Kyo) - I have to say, Lovely Runner has become one of my absolute favorites.If you're the type of watcher that likes to overanalyze plots, is extremely bothered by 'plotholes' that arise because of the time slip concept — forgetting that time travel is preposterous to begin with — and the type that needs a back story for every single character that appears, including the villain (how many psychopaths are just what they are because they are? Answer: a lot), then some aspects of the drama will bother you.
I and a lot of others, found it refreshing, extremely charming, and difficult to part with the characters, just because they have grown so much on us, and we rooted so much for Sol and Sunjae's love to come true. I never felt such a satisfying end to a K-drama I loved all throughout years of watching as I did with this one. I have also never had such bad post-drama depression lol. I literally can't watch anything else even 2 weeks after it's ended because I'm so hungover on Lovely Runner.
Now, there are a lot of recently posted negative reviews for the drama. While I can get it may not be everyone's cup of tea — if you're reading this review, go give it a try anyway. Don't let reviews dictate what you might feel about a drama. After all, at the end of the day, it's all about personal preference.

Superb drama! The best K-drama I have seen in quite a while!
What a superb drama! Romance, thriller, suspense, comedy and drama all achieved in spades. Don’t MiSS it!I highly recommend watching it! The leads had such a fantastic chemistry between them…every scene was a delight to watch! I cannot say enough about this pair, a truly brilliant pairing! Would love to see them in another drama together soon. Their acting was on spot in this one and made us really love their characters.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

The fangirl inside me is screaming right now
I love that shows are bringing back fangirls what they want. As a former Wattpad writer of One Direction Fanfics, I can say I'm totally pleased with this drama. It has everything, cuteness, laugh out loud moments, the handsome 2m tall cute boyfriend. It's like someone made the wish I had when I was 13 years old come true.If you used to (or still) fangirl like crazy over boybands, actors, or anything. Go ahead, this is your show. Don't expect anything else.
Enjoy!

Esperanza y amor..
Solo quiero decir que en lo que va del año este es el mejor drama que vi.Simplemente maravilloso.
Voy a extrañar mucho a Sunjae y Sol.
Voy a extrañar los lunes y martes de lovely runner.
Empezando por la gran actuación de mi princesa hermosa Hye Yoon y del guapisimo Woo Seok!
La música 10/10 (seguiré llorando cada vez que escuche Sonaki)
Me encanta el gran mensaje que nos deja: esperanza y amor verdadero, alguien que busque tu felicidad sin importar nada.
Solo 2 cositas que no me encantaron tanto:
1. Los personajes secundarios: lamentablemente me hubiera encantado decir que me gustaron todos, pero no fue así, me parecieron algunas escenas hasta molestas, lo digo por los personajes del papá de Sunjae y el hermano de Sol y la amiga. Algunas de esas escenas no dan ni gracia, no vienen al caso pero bueno.
Pero no todo es malo, puedo decir todo lo contrario de TaeSung y Baek In hyuk, excelentes personajes secundarios, me encantó que no hicieran un triangulo amoroso innecesario con TaeSung.
2. El psicopata: alargaron demasiado la trama . Me gustó el cierre que le dieron, pero lo hubieran hecho unos 2 episodios antes.
Pero esto no afecta lo mucho que me encantó el drama.
En fin, reí, lloré, grite, me estresé, volví a llorar y fui muy feliz con este drama.
∞/10

You Will ALWAYS have to root for SOLJAE; 2014-2016-2020 K-Drama vibes
As I expected, I did not find the antagonist’s story good enough. I really wish there was more to it for it to be more believable because why in each timeline, he is there to somehow target either Im Sol or Sun-jae? I think it could have developed better if they didn't just pull the "because he is just a psycho & kills". Either that or used different antagonists and circumstances in each timeline, but I know that it would probably make this "light drama" heavier than it is.The usual problem of romance & fantasy K-dramas is really using the fantasy aspect to the plot’s convenience, making the “world-building” unbelievable. By that, I mean the time travelling part can be changed as it goes on and there can be inconsistencies.
Those are the reasons I’m giving this drama a 4-star instead of a full 5. Despite it, I believe I’ve enjoyed it enough to disregard it, because the goal here really is to have THAT kind of ending for these characters. It is cliche; it follows a usual formula and you definitely want these two leads to end up together because, really, THAT IS THE POINT!
Overall, the pacing is ok but it can still be done in at least 10 to 12 episodes. The cast and acting is great. The two female and male leads have an exploding chemistry; the 2nd male lead also has great chemistry with the two which makes the drama have good bromance and love triangle. Lovely Runner woke me up from a drama slump and I miss dramas like this.
