My New Favorite Romance Drama
This drama has to be one of the best kdramas ever. Originally, didn’t have any expectations for this, as I only started watching after seeing Byeon Wooseok was starring in it because I really enjoyed him in the movie 20th Century Girl. I also saw teaser videos online so I was intrigued. Right off the bat, I was hooked within the first episode and immediately fell in love with Kim Hyeyoon. Each episode kept getting better and better and I was always extremely excited whenever an episode aired. This drama has literally everything including romance, comedy, angst, melodramatic, and a bit of thriller. The story between Sunjae and Sol was also so precious and I loved each of their character dynamics. Kim Hyeyoons acting was phenomenal and was the perfect fit for Sol. This drama really made my Mondays and Tuesdays less gloomy and was so worth the watch. I hope to see more of the leading actors works soon!Was this review helpful to you?
A DRAMA THAT HAS BECOME AND WILL ALWAYS BE A PART OF MY LIFE.
Even after years have passed, memories of waiting ever since the official announcement, watching it in real-time, and seeing soljae's story unfold as they fight against their ill-fated destiny over and over again until they get the happy ending they deserve. I will be forever grateful to the cast and crew the whole team behind this masterpiece. They genuinely made me happy for the past 2 months. Finally I have something I can go back to and watch whenever life gets hard.Was this review helpful to you?

a drama i can't ever be able to get off
almost every drama i've watched when i start watching if i think 'oh its good.' but that one disappoint me at a point. but lovely runner is that type of drama i've never disappointed of! most osts are my favourite till now. the cinematography, the cast, the story.. I've never felt a bit boring for a single second! i've never skipped any scene. I took at least 100 minutes for watching an one hour episode.. I've never felt like this while ending a drama. i never thought I'd like it this much! i started watching it without any expectations.. and its my favourite drama now. before this drama i saw Byeon Wooseok in STRONG GIRL NAMSOON but to be honest i didn’t like him. and i didn’t also liked Kim Hyeyoon this much! so i wasn’t a bit interested in this. i started it out of monotony! but after this drama i like them than anyone else. they are my obsession now..i don't know how to express my thoughts now. i have so many words to say but it feels like i've lost all my words. beat me but LOVELY RUNNER is the best drama this year.

so predictable
just like many other time travel dramas. same story and repetition of plots. FL keeps going back in time and failing every time, recycled stalker plot again. not to mention the 32-year-old actor playing a teenager. all success comes down to the handsome ml and couples height difference. ost is perhaps the only positive thing followed by the actress good acting, which ironically is downplayed by fans of the drama who treats her like a rookis, even though she already has an established career.....Was this review helpful to you?
i'm sad that it's ending, but happy it's being given an ending
Lovely runner left me speechless, i just can't seem to find the right words to express how. By delving into these deeper aspects of the characters' lives, this drama resonates with viewers profoundly. This drama provide an escape into a world where love conquers all and i am overjoyed with their witty banters, slapstick humor, and memorable picturesque moments. It has fast-paced, energetic rhythm that keeps the story moving along and holds viewers' attention. It doesn't drag or feel too rushed, it has the right balance between romance, comedy, and plot development. each scene is beautifully shot and evocatively captures the spirit of timeless love.Was this review helpful to you?

MUST MUST watch !!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Firstly let me tell you something, this show was considered has non anticipated work (Which shocked me - since i waiting for this show, for close to an year, for it to be aired), had negativity surroundings it, had lack of promotion. But mind you the day the 1st and 2nd episode dropped, it was a game changer. It was like a mic drop it was epic. The acting of both BWS and KHY is top notch and story is so damn good, not even a single boring moment, the chemistry oh man i don't know how describe it, it is soo beautiful that you will just keep asking for more you heart will surely flutter once you see them on screen (Even if you are not into romcom - these 2 ll make you fall in love with them). The comic timing is so good you will definitely have a good hard laugh. Lastly the OST which is one of the main focal point of this show, since those songs speak story of their own about these 2 and add a different dimension to the story all together. Be it backdrops, OST, Acting or chemistry everything is so damn damn good about it. This show is the classic example of "Never judge a book by its cover" bcz sometime when you open those book you will find hidden treasure this show here called "Lovely Runner" is that HIDDEN GEM that world needs to see and feel. Also this show reached it high all thank to fans and word of mouth for giving this show it glory that it deserved ? .????????Was this review helpful to you?

The loveliest drama ever..❤️
Writing review after ep 10OMG ! This drama is dope........ it has a strong staring but the first two episodes can seems like a typical time traveling plot or mixture of several time traveling school dramas. But this is not the case .....this is one of the best time traveling drama I've ever watched .....
1) the romance is top notch. It will give you butterflies. I don't actually have patience to watch lame romance dramas. But this is different. I giggled and smiled whenever ml and fl being together. Yup ! The chemistry is chemistring . ❤️
2) the male lead!!!! Ryu SeonJae is the best greenest, simp and softie male lead I've ever seen. Nope he's not your typical cold , stone faced male lead. He got crush on our girl , he smiles, giggles, through his feet in air and stuff his face in pillow thinking about his crush. Of course he tries to stay cool and not being obvious.....haha .... I loved the fact he didn't misunderstood Im Sol and believed in her even after her past self cut relations with him . He still loved her and waited for 15 years. ❤️
3) the female lead ---- yes the female lead is adorable. She's also a simp for him . She's balanced between not being too calculative or childish. She got a positive character that makes you fall in love with her .she prefers to stay and enjoy the present moment instead of thinking about past mistakes and future events.❤️
4) the humour!!!!! LoL it got me fall out of chair . The comedy is soo good . Like her thinking the bridge as bridge of hell , the adult DVD, him being jealous, Im Sol passing through his dad by shouting future events, Sunjae pulling out chili plant instead of weed by overthinking...........there are countless moments that will crack you up.. LMFAO..
5) the side characters: they are as adorable as ml and fl their supportive family, friends and the cute second male lead all are soo wholesome.... specially Sol's brother, mother, grandmother, Sunjae's father, In-Hyuk all are adorable.
6) Anxiety:::::::: you're gonna have good anxiety attack.... Once you start this series you won't be able to stop ...and the cliff hangers are breath taking. There's not a single dull moment so far . The sad moments are soo heart breaking.like Sol can't change her past self and she has to come back to future and her regrets for misbehaving . And Sunjae got rejected (forgotten) by Sol, while she had feelings for him!!! Then their reunion in ep 10!!!
7) this psychopath:::: the single character I hated in this series..... he's villain so it's makes sense.....get rid of that driver .....ahh #savesoljae
8) the plot: the plot is deep and intense... And the name makes sense as our fl has to run from past to future to save the ml . This is not very light hearted drama .... But a mysterious plot that unfolds in every single episode .the best part is there is youth school romance, mature/ modern day drama romance as well as collage romance and each part is soo sweet that can give you diabetes.....❤️+ Each era 's kissing scenes hits differently.
9) the acting:::;;;; the acting is soo good . The comedy or embarassing moments could have ended up giving cringe if it wasn't done well . BWS ' s portrayal of Sunjae is out of the world...the emotions, smile , pain in smile , mentally being disturbed or comedy everything is too good( first time watching Byeon Woo Seok and I became a fan). Yup! I'm a simp at this point lol ... To say the truth I was not a fan of Kim Hye but I fall in love with her as Im Sol ....the ost , cinematography everything is done so well !!!
10) disclaimer :you're gonna ride on a pile of emotions while watching this. You'll cry , laugh, giggle , through your feets in air . Surrounding people can think you're crazy...lol ....I'm loving the concept.also be aware of diabetes and cavities cause it's too sweet..haha..❤️
10)1000/10 for this series....one of the best series I've ever watched...... I'm falling in love with this drama....100% recommended!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Perfection
I couldn't have asked for anything more, a beautiful drama from ep 1 to ep 16. Will remember this drama and rewatch this drama for many years to come. Has taken my #1 kdrama spot for sure. I am so thankful to the amazing actors and amazing staff that worked on this show. Every second has been memorable and never made me bored or upset at the direction they choose to go. Every important character acted amazing and brought life to their characters that makes me sad to say goodbye to them. SolSun for life easily my favorite drama couple ever.Was this review helpful to you?
If you could forget any show just to rewatch it again, what show would it be? This one.
Let me just say this, I did not expect to enjoy this drama as much as I actually did when I read the mdl description. Before starting Lovely Runner, I was in a drama slump. Unable to finish ones I had began because they became too stale midway through or the ones airing just did not sound interesting to me. I have had Lovely Runner on my to watch list because I like both Byeon Wooseok and Kim Hyeyoon's acting and thought that the description seemed interesting so I gave it a try.I am so happy that I watched this series. I do not think there were many dull moments throughout this show as for my episode rankings every single episode got either a 9 or a 10, no episode ever went below a 9 for me. I cried many times throughout this show, not full blown sobs but teary eyed, and my throat clenched up quite a bit as well. The way this show was able to grab at your heart strings and keep you wanting to come back for the next episode was fantastic.
For my typical reviews I do a "favorite character of the series", but it is such a difficult one to choose for this review as I genuinely loved everyone. The way Baek Inhyuk was used as a major comedic relief, seeing him on the screen was always such a treat. I loved the growth we saw of Kim Taesung throughout the series. I will genuinely miss this series and it is definitely one of those "If you could have a show you could ever forget just to rewatch one more time what would it be" show.
