Adorável Corredora (2024)

Epic Time Travel Romcom

Guys, how to say goodbye to Sun Jae and Im Sol, who I fell so hard for these past weeks. It's like the writer and PD said, how do we make the most fun hopelessly romantic kdrama and drive our viewers crazy with giddiness and agony each episode?

Name another drama where the OTP's faces are always a few inches, staring longingly at each other. This might be too much on another show, but in Lovely Runner, we craaave for it lol. Where umbrella holding for the other, is not some trite cheap kdrama move, but signifies how Sun Jae/Sol will just do anything to shield the other from pain and harm.

Let's admit, the biggest pull of this show is how dreamy (and a doofus) Ryu Sun Jae is as a whole (equipped with Byeon Woo Seok's outrageously good looks). That cast and their chemistry are gold! It's so easy to make this another typical high school drama where the girl chases the arrogant popular guy who will slowly fall for the girl. But he is such a dork, charming our socks off with his awkward confession mishaps, and all that selfless pining! And his devotion to Sol, omg, like can we clone him for the better of mankind?

Sol, is no slouch too, traversing time and space to save him. As he has always saved her, she sacrificed so much for him too. Some are getting annoyed by all the noble idiocy, but the weighty circumstances in the show warrant it, and makes such good angst!

Spoilers:
Others are maybe bothered about the latest time reset, erasing all what has happened before. But him getting intrigued by her again as strangers, tearing up from unknowingly reading his OWN tragic love story, reading the lost love song he wrote for her, falling for her again and again despite the odds. Choosing her again and again in spite of the morbid consequences. OMG, simply swoony romance at its finest.

The conclusion did feel like there was a lot of drama magic for them to get together again, but I can't complain when it gives these two the happy ending they earned, darn it. The time capsule watch does feels like a deus ex machina, but at the same time it's kind of fitting too.

Undoubtedly one of the best epic romances, kdrama has to offer. THIS is why regardless of the language barrier, we love kdramas, they know how to do romance right. How I wish I can borrow Sun Jae's time travel watch and experience this for the first time all over again. Falling for these two yet again and again.

Rom-com is for sure rom-coming!

I need to start saying that I loved this drama but it wasn’t 10/10 for me as it was for some people. Fortunately the issues that I had didn’t make me hate the drama but I still need to talk more about them here. First, I don’t know if this is a unpopular opinion or not but Sol’s best friend relationship with Sol’s brother was SO ANNOYING. The relationship was annoying and the characters were also annoying. I usually love second couples in rom-com but I seriously disliked them here.

Second, I felt like the villain had too much importance in the story but we practically don’t know that much about him, which was a bit disappointing and made the character lack personality. I get it that this is mainly a rom-com but he was too superficial. This lack of personality and involvement made me start to think that he was dragging the story down and being a totally uninteresting character. The writer tried to create a scary environment for him which was working in the beginning but then becomes boring later on. And I also felt that 16 episodes were a bit too much. The writer wasn’t developing the main characters that much, the side characters, not even the bad guy, so it was really needed to have 16 episodes? I think 12 episodes would’ve been better and would make the story less draggy.

But being honest with yall, as I said in the beginning, even with these issues that I pointed out I still enjoyed this drama SO SO much! I think the main reason for that is that Lovely Runner have everything that I like in a romcom and everything that makes a rom-com good for me. We have a super chemistry between the main leads, we have cute and funny scenes, we have ML being the cutest puppy handsome guy (personally I just love when a Ml is over heels for the FL, like a completely loser) and amazing OSTS (I will listen to them A LOT). Also the story wasn’t perfect but I think it’s exciting enough until a certain point. A positive point for me as well was that the SML doesn't interfere too much with the main couple, which is great.

Lovely Runner was a drama that I found myself eagerly awaiting new episodes every week and I became obsessed with the main couple. If you like the biggest romcom clichés with a cute couple and plot that intrigues you enough (with you ignore some main issues), I think the chances of you finding this drama at least enjoyable are high.

PS: I am completely in love with Wooseok, gosh this man is everything!!!!

Probably my favorite drama ever :)

I literally made an account to rate this k-drama because I've actually never done it.. lmao
When I saw people describing this as something kpop fans would love - when the drama first started out and only a few episodes were out, I thought it was gonna be one of those cringy, unrealistic, obsessive ones. Also, often times they make these love and time-travel dramas so unrealistic and not-human-like so you can't really connect with the characters. But man, was this a journey.. Absolutely amazingly written and one of the best show productions I've ever seen. It makes you addicted to the drama, even though its unrealistical in the *time-travel* aspect, it makes you wonder if you'd do the same if you were Sol, if this happened to you.. if you would do everything to save the person you love. It has a beautiful message, all the actors are so talented and did such an amazing job. This kdrama is so gentle, it has such funny and bright scenes that you are laughing out loud and it was so perfectly intense in the dangerous aspect and also the relationship between the two main characters was making us feel all the tension. Their chemistry was out of this world.
I truly hope we get to see more dramas like this.

Is it worth it? Date or Death : which is important to discuss for u?

Ok, finally completed!!
I admit that it got little bit boring at some point...like kind of repetition...and that's why I rate it overall 8.5

But but after completing, it kind of give you hangover which is not easy to get rid of!!
A story of perfect simp ML - complete greenest forest ever for a perfect savior FL - gets embarrassed every moment😉 ..............I strongly recommend it because u won't regret. Especially those little cute moments that sets the bar!!
The story revolves around such cute + awkward moments that can't stop you from kicking your legs, having butterflies in stomach and what not. What is love which is not crazy enough to have date important than discussing possible death.
And most importantly if you like to hear Sun-Jae ya.........do watch it!!

when you know you know

acho que nunca vou superar essa história e essa trilha sonora perfeita. lovely runner, você foi inesquecível, te amo um milhão.

sobre um amor que acontece em todas as linhas temporais possíveis, mesmo que o passado seja mudado, mesmo que ele seja apagado da vida dos personagens. de bônus, muitas risadas e lágrimas, mini surtos, sensação de coração quentinho e também música boa.

posso até arriscar dizer que esse é aquele tipo de drama que não envelhece, que você assiste, uma, duas, cinco, dez vezes e continua sentindo o mesmo e não enjoa. porque essa história é tocante, linda, triste e marcante.

sol, sunjae, taesung, podem morar no meu coração, pra vocês eu abro essa exceção. 🥹💘

this is gonna be good… (Pilot review)

I expected a cute romantic story about teenage love, and although it may be like that in the future episode, this first episode opens with a very serious topic, depression.
I really like how they are portraying this emotion and I really hope they will continue doing so seriously, making us understand more of the characters feeelings and reasons.
I also really liked how the female lead becomes fan of the band and the male lead because he saves her life by being sensitive and empathetic towards her. (btw I’m already in love with him for this)
can’t wait to see how this story will unfold…

The romance here is so good, and so strong, I could overlook a lot . . .

Byeon Woo-seok as Ryu Sun-jae steals the show as the ideal traditional romantic male. Putting our main character's safety above his own, being strong, handsome, and famous while still earnest, honest and sentimental. Kim Hye-yoon as Im Sol has great chemistry with him, but her character and acting is a bit one note on its own.

This drama will go down as one of my all time favorite romances, but unfortunately not one of my favorite shows overall. The premise of a 'groundhogs day' is somewhat unique to start, but there's a lot here rehashed from the K-Drama plot bin including serial killers, slapstick comedy about working class people, etc. as the scenario repeats, and repeats, and repeats it starts to wear thin.

BUT YET! I could watch Ryu Sun-Jae being in love with Im Sol for 50 episodes if need be, that's how good the romance is here. It's worth a watch despite the flaws. Music is strong and there's some scenes worth a rewatch.

This Kdrama will be forever in my heart ??

Lovely Runner was my every week happiness, it got me smiling, crying, blushing, giggling, squealing and kicking my feet all the time. When I started this drama, I had no idea it would take over my whole life. It made me feel everything, even though I do not like Mondays, I'd wait for every week just to watch it, and I would spend hours making up theories for future episodes.

I’m happy for all the cast and production team and thankful for their efforts to give us a wonderful drama. The story was executed so well and the actors did such an amazing job portraying their characters, I felt very touched.

Byeon Woo Seok did an exceptional job portraying his character, Sun Jae. This role was made for him, and he owns it. I’m so happy that he’s receiving the recognition and love he deserves, his acting is so good.

As for Kim Hye Yoon, she is a very good actress and has portrayed Sol very well. (I suffered with her character every time 😢).

And finally, our Kim Taesung, played by the amazing Song Geon Hee. I loved him so much, and the fact that he was not an annoying character but lovely and funny.

The OST is EVERYTHING 😆 I could listen to it forever. I love that Byeon Woo Seok sings and does it so well, his voice is so beautiful.

The ending was perfect. The failed proposal was so funny, but the actual proposal was sooo beautiful and touching🥰 I loved the fluff and cuteness of the entire last episode, and that scene with the halmoni made me cry so much. 😭

Overall, This honestly made my Mondays and Tuesdays so much fun. Best k-drama I watched in 2024 so far, everything was really great! Lovely Runner reminds me why I enjoyed watching Kdramas so much. I don't think I will be able to move on for a long time. 1000/10 ⭐

PS: Future viewers, If you're hesitating to watch this, trust me you're not gonna regret it. Maybe the time travel part is a little inconsistent, but the writing and direction are amazing, and the acting is even better.

PS 2: Now every time it's raining or I see an umbrella ☂️ I'm going to think of lovely runner. 🙂
