This, together with Queen of Tears, was the most popular drama of the spring season and we understand why: a couple of adorable protagonists with strong chemistry, a plot with twists that entertain and lots of hilarious situations and many romantic moments. Personally, although I also appreciated it a lot, I think it was a drama that played it very safe, confirming what are the popular elements among the drama audience and without really risking anything. Let's be clear, this isn't a criticism in the strict sense, it's just that it's a somewhat obvious product, although still pleasant to look at from start to finish. The interesting thing is that the initial premise seemed to focus more, as you said, on the relationship between a die-hard fan and an idol and how they influenced each other; in fact, in the prologue, we have Lim Sol who is depressed due to the accident that cost her the use of her legs, so much so that she seemed ready to make a reckless gesture, only to then completely turn her life around when, unexpectedly, the words of the The then emerging idol Ryu Seon-jae reached her and changed her perspective, making her also become a huge fan of the aforementioned. It would have been interesting if the premise had extended throughout the drama, where Sol would have healed a depressed Seon-jae, as we see him at the beginning, now consumed by that life and saved by her, as he had done. Mind you, in part the premise has remained, because as we see, Ryu Seon-jae, in 2008, seems to suffer emotionally also due to physical shoulder problems that could compromise his Olympic career, which, indirectly, he is telling us, perhaps , why Ryu Seon-jae seems depressed in the present and why he pursued this career. That said, as you will see for yourself, the internal mechanics of how time travel works, between the device, the rules and the consequences of what Sol will do, are a little similar to the drama A Time Called You: 2023 drama which I believe one of the best of last year (and which I strongly advise you to catch up on, just in case), but which few people seem to have seen or appreciated. Speaking of similarities, as you will see, Lovely Runner shares several things with the film 20th Century Girl and not only for the presence of Byeon Woo-seok there too, but you will see for yourself. The presence of Seo Hye-won (yes, the one now famous for that joke in Konglish in A Business Proposal) in the cast was, at least for me, a huge added value, given that I love her comic performances and here there is some gives remarkable gifts; although Kim Hye-yoon herself also juggles between scenes in which she cries her eyes out and others of an extremely comical and awkward nature. Small historical note: when Sol reaches the swimming pool where Seon-jae is taking part in a competition, we see that when she reaches him running and finally hugs him, the security people rush to surround and protect another athlete, but she she is not interested. That athlete is Park Tae-hwan, played by himself, who was one of the most important South Korean athletes in history, winning, in the 2008 Olympics, a gold medal for the 400 meters freestyle and a silver for the 200 meters freestyle. Thanks for the reaction. Welcome back.
But let us not forget that lovely runner script was finished 3 years ago. Also, the mechanics of time travel follows that of whats on then novel. So yeah, its just that a time called u was released earlier. And on the novel, sol did healed sj depression but knowing the planned boycott some kpop fans are planning against LR, i like this story better. Spoiler alert : in the drama as well as on the novel, sj nvr wants to chugu. His reason for living has always been sol, past present or future.
Technically A Time Called You is a remake of the 2019 Taiwanese series Someday Or One Day. In any case, I don't understand the post well: I didn't say that Lovely Runner copied A Time Called You, but only that there are elements of similarity for the time travel mechanics and maybe some plot elements, but nothing more; no malice on my part.
hii! thank you for sharing your thoughts! I haven't seen A Time Called You yet but I know who played the lead roles in there. With this, I cannot give a comment regarding the similarities. Also, Park Tae-hwan is close to Kim Hye-yoon rin reality as they both became part of a variety show with a word Jungle in it. He actually said on a behind the scene video that he agreed on the cameo because of Hye yoon ^^ Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for welcoming me hihi :))
@@lykscamerareviews Ah I didn't know about this, very interesting, thanks for the report. I don't know if you'll want to pick up A Time Called You or not, but I think you'd like it. Yes, there are points of contact for the rules of time travel and something about the plot, but the similarities stop there, they are shows, in the end, quite different, also for the tones that A Time Called You sees as decidedly more dramatic in my opinion . Thanks for the reply, always appreciated.
I think I read somewhere that the novel LR was based on was released 2019 as well. so yeah. I just want to put it there. and yeah its good that that wasn't ur intention, I'm just saying though in case some ppl may misunderstood. anyway lovely runner is my best drama so far. I wish this was 20 episodes long, it's just too short. huhuhu it's a show that you can say EVERYONE put their heart to it, from cast to staff like it's their do or die drama . I hope that it will have the popularity it deserves ❤️❤️
This will sound stalkerish and creepy I'm sure but I was just thinking about you the other day and was wondering what you were up to. Glad to see you back on here reacting.
Hiii! Thanks for your kind words :)) I am busy with my life before but thankfully, I am back here. Thank you for being here, know that I appreciate this so much :))
He actually is the singer of 5 ost including sudden shower
I also just found out about that and he is so amazing! 🙈 he could actually pass as an idol wow 🫶🏻
The first scene is 2009 not 2019 so it's been 14 years since the radio call and the present which is 2023.
