But the times of nostalgia and youthful energy are the same too, eventho one is a time traveling drama and the other is a reminiscing about the past

Both "While You Were Sleeping" and "Lovely Runner" share a central theme involving the supernatural ability to foresee future events. In "While You Were Sleeping," the characters experience prophetic dreams that show future incidents, allowing them to attempt to prevent these events from happening. Similarly, "Lovely Runner" features characters who can travel back in time to alter events in an attempt to prevent future tragedies. As with "While You Were Sleeping," this creates a paradox: their actions in the past intended to change the future can either fail to prevent the event or cause it to happen in a different way. The very act of trying to change the future by modifying past events can lead to a fixed timeline where the future remains unchangeable despite their best efforts.
If you enjoy thought-provoking stories with engaging characters and intricate plotlines, both "While You Were Sleeping" and "Lovely Runner" are worth adding to your watchlist.

Both dramas have a female lead who is a fan of the ML, saving the ML from their future death and both ML are stars/singers.
