BORING - how can this show be this overrated ?
Everything is in the title : boring.I struggle to watch 13 episodes, it was good at the beginning, a lot of potential but EXTREMELY repetitive. Every episode is the same, they could have shorten it to 10 episodes, maybe it would have been better.
Romance was so childish and unreal... I couldn't relate.
Also, the disability part and depression would have been a great plot of this show, but barely developed, this drama wasn't deep enough...
Nevermind, I will have trust issues now with the rating of a Kdrama show ... gave me hope, but waste of time for me.

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.

Sorry but...
"Lovely Runner" from various sources mention that the drama's time travel concept lacks clear rules, making it difficult to follow. The motivations of certain characters, like the psycho taxi driver, are unclear and seem to exist only to advance the plot. Some viewers find the romance and comedic elements overshadow the story's coherence, reducing its overall impact.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

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.

breaking my silence ( i put whatever in the star rating because i want to finish it first)
The drama started out fun and great but it started going down hill after the "highschool arc" , she avoided him in the most absured ways giving me second hand embaressment instead of talking and making it clear she wants nothing to do with him tf . But i still had hope, a part of me did'nt want this show to go even further down the drain , i had hope that they will salvage it somehow and pick up the pace when they made up . I really waited and suffered through out the whole collage missunderstanding thing , the light at the end of the tunnel started shinning and i was as hopeful as i can get when they he finally figured out the future thing , i ran till the end of this tunnel following the bright hopeful light and when i finally reached it it turned dark and all i could feel was the despair of the fucking disaster of episode 13. it was so bad i just finished watching it right now and started to write this . Episode 13 was so bad it made me write a goddamn essay , and the thing that makes my blood boil is the fact that people LIKED the episode , am i the problem ??? i don't wanns say too much about the episode because i already reviewd it in the episode 13 review , but the ending actually made me almost cry ........out of anger lmaooo beacuse please tell me why did she do that , now all the other 12 episode mean nothing quite literally .Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
This is a bad drama!
This is predictable and boring, hence a bad drama! Overused concept, like, is it 2010?They should stop making shows like these now!
A borefest from start to end. I was going to drop it at ep 3, but one of my ex-friends threatened to pull my nails out, so I had to waste my time over this.
Anyone who finds this drama good needs to get some help. There is something seriously wrong with them up there.

my experience with the show
lovely runner (2024)I was hesitant when deciding to watch it, but it really got me out of my kdrama slump,
it reminded me so much of extraordinary you that I couldn't stop myself from continuing. This was my first time watching Byeon Woo-seok drama, he played well and of course I love Kim Hye-yoon, she was made for this role.
I feel bad that I didn't decide to watch it when it came out, I thought the hype was a little too much, usually when a show get too hyped it's not really that good, but I was wrong, from the plot to the soundtrack, it was absolutely wonderful. I'm a sucker for time traveling and the FL I was familiar, it felt nostalgic. I really do think that everyone should at least give this show a chance. It was worth it, even if I was 6 months late, it was quite an enjoyable experience.

cringy romance with an interesting time travelling plot
i was initially interested in this drama because i followed the leads and those actors were ones who usually didn't get main roles but when i saw that it was an idol-fan romance i instantly got the ick and abandoned it. the rumors of it being based on real life situation also didn't help much. now this is one of the most talked drama of 2024 so i made it a point to watch it and see what the hype is about. it certainly won't be bad if that many people like it right? i was wrong.
i would say the main reason why this drama was so successful is because it had pretty main leads who were down bad for each other. no proper/solid plot.
i was very creeped out by the fan-idol thing in many of the first episodes. the reason for her becoming a fan was genuine but her behavior was borderline obsessive. there were many times where she did things for him because she is a fan in 2023, which kind of creeped me out. also the fact that she was a 30 something year old in a highschooler's body chasing another highschooler was creepy to me.
my biggest complaint is how one dimensional both the main leads are especially sol. whatever we know about them revolves on the fact that they like each other. sun-jae likes sol but why? he likes her so much he is willing to die for her, what made him like her so much? i understand crushes but doing all this? in the first timeline it makes sense cause the accident is kind of his fault but after that? what is about her that he likes/loves so much? his whole personality was being in love with sol. at least taesung had a reason to like her. she was oddly mature with him and he liked that.
sol was so childish for majority of the show. it wasn't until the end she acted like an adult. during her first few time travels there was no difference between 30 year old her and high school her. she absolutely did not think before she acted.
so much of the comedy depended on sol making dumb decisions, it cringed me out. they could have shown sol and sun-jae better by avoiding all those cringy scenes between the brother and the best friend. sol got her ability to walk after 15 years yet it was barely acknowledged. she never seemed to spend time with her family nor her friends. same with sun-jae. u would think someone whose grandma lost her memory due to old age would be more emotional at getting her back. also how did sun-jae and sol end up in their respective careers. we don't see sol being so in love with movies nor sun-jae with acting. they could have given the characters more depth.
the time travelling plot was the most interesting part. the change in timelines and the effects they had were interesting. they were honestly what kept me through the series. even though the rules of time travelling and everything was weak it was nice. them being connected in every scenario was a nice touch.
the director/team could have just made a highschool romance with
Byeon Woo Seok and Hye Yoon and it still would have been a hit. they were the best parts of the show and did their roles well. them being casted might be one of the sole reasons the show is successful.
i would have preferred to have the idol fan thing out and make them like neighbors or something and not have the female be obsessive with the male lead, especially in the fan idol sense.

Writers gave more effort on the fluff than the plot
Personally, I enjoyed it. The leads are engaging, and I love chemistry. It's cliché, yes, but the same cliché wouldn't work if the actors didn't have the same chemistry as BWS and KHY. Heartwarming and fluttering, not as heavy as the first episode suggested. (Although my expectation was the show would deep dive into mental health of idols and tackle the issues with great careness)If we're talking objectively, the time travel aspect could've been executed better:
1.) They shouldn't have made Sol able to do a time freeze. That power alone could've helped Sol escaped so many bad and life threatening situations, but they didn't utilize it other than her sneaking into SJ's room. That was such a wasted opportunity and big flaw in Sol's characterization. Everytime Sol is in a bad situation, that's all I could think of in my head "Time freeze!"
2.) They were doing well with minimizing plotholes until the last quarter, when they decided it'd be a good idea to break the time travel rules they'd established in the beginning. Once a show breaks its own logic, plotholes keep piling up that'd be hard to patch, and that's what happened here. It almost felt like the writer had a good idea of an ending but not the path to get there.
3.) Villains do not need a backstory, but with how deeply entangled the serial killer is in Sol and Sunjae's fates, it didn't make sense that we didn't even know his modus operandi. We don't need the killer's backstory, but at least understanding his motives would give layers to his almost never ending deep fate entanglement with the leads. The whole fate concept fell flat and came to an underwhelming conclusion.
Rewatch value is low for me because the show is riddled with editable slow mo scenes of the leads and they're all over social media anyway. The plot itself is too underwhelming to sit through again.
The show fell into the typical romance tropes trap after a great introduction. If you're here for the cuteness and fluff of the show, this drama is filled with that. This is a feel-good drama all around so I'm not surprise people resonated with it.

En aşık kdrama karakteri
Çok güzel başladığını düşünüyorum ilk bölümler kalbimi kıpır kıpır ettirdi erkek karakterin kadın karaktere gösterdiği aşkını izlemek aşka olan inancımı arttırdı her zaman ve her evrende erkek karakter sevmeye ve aşık olmaya devam etti bence dizinin en etkileyici kısmı da buydu . Kadın oyuncunun oyunculuğunun mukteşemliği erkek oyuncuya da çok şey kattı ve güzel bir gençlik aşkı izlememize olanak sağladı .fakat sonlara doğru senaryonun basitleştiğini ve katil adamın neden öldüğünü merak ediyorum dizinin iyi sonla bitmesi güzel oldu fakat kötü sonla bitseydi kesinlikle akılda kalıcı bir senaryo olacaktı.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
