Adorável Corredora (2024)

Both dramas are about high school love and goofy lives of teenagers but with a twist!

- Main stories of both dramas are set in near past (Reply - 1997; LR - 2008) and framed with current time. The near past element gives the story somewhat retro vibe
- Both dramas have mystery element (R - who is the husband?; LR - what lead to the tragedy that happened in current time?)
- Both female leads are energic, fun girls and also hopeless kpop stans
- Both male leads are good guys who fall first

Difference is in the stakes of the story. In Lovely Runner, the stakes are much higher as FL time travels back in time and tries to prevent several tragedies; in Reply the fantasy element is not there, these are just teenagers, living their lives

The Similarity is that, Both the drama is about a second chance of life. Not only that both included being an idol having a second chance. Thank you

- Male leads are simps.
- Cute male and female leads.
