Had high expectation but felt short!

Lovely Runner has been on my plan to watch list forever and I finally completed it. Unfortunately, I am disappointed after watching it, especially given the high rating and awards the show has won. I struggled with the first 10 episodes, from episodes 11 to 15 it got better and then there was the last episode ( not sure if we even needed it…)
What’s good:
1) ML’s acting. I thought he did a decent job as a ML. Only saw 1 movie of him prior to this show so no real expectation.
2) Chemistry between the three actors, BWS, SGH and LSH. Whenever there was a scene between them it brought a smile to my face or a LOL.
3) Decent OST
What’s not great:
1) The plot - too repetitive, boring and confusing. I did want to drop the show because of it but I preserved until the end because I don’t like dropping dramas lol.
2) Chemistry between ML and FL. I know this is possibly an unpopular opinion but for me it was just average. I really don’t feel the electrifying chemistry between them, which made it difficult to watch because the show is about great first love who timed travel many times over to save each other. I felt there was better chemistry between the FL and SML (SGH).

Overall, I would not rewatch this show. If you like the actors/actress then give it a go. It is an ok show to watch but definitely no more than that, in my opinion.

Captivating drama series

Firstly I want to say I love this drama. I think it is a beautiful sad story about great love, loyalty, friendship and ultimate sacrifice. I have watched the ending three times and as I am sad for FJM and HS I thought they stayed true to their values and character till the end. Their last conversation was portrayed beautifully by the talented Yang Mi and William Chan. The emotion was raw and real as it gets. That last moment alone was enough for me to recommend this drama. Then you have other actors in the series also did an exceptional job, amazing sets, cinematography and very fitting OST. Overall this drama has captivated my full attention in the last few weeks. The plot was clever which kept me on my toes as I didn’t know what will happened next. I highly recommend it.
