Byun Woo-seok is a dream come true in Lovely Runner
by tccolb
It’s just another day in the life of a fangirl for Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) in the first teaser for tvN’s timeslip romance Lovely Runner, where our heroine is happy to spend her day swooning over photos of top star Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon).
Serious props to the set design for making sure our heroine’s bedroom is well-equipped with a finely curated display of fan paraphernalia, enshrining her beloved idol Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok). Zooming in on a particularly dashing shot, Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) indulges in fandom’s greatest dream as she bemoans the fact that, “Our Sun-jae has everything. But he doesn’t have me.”
Dissolving into a fit of giggles, as we fans are wont to do, Sol lets her imagination run further as she turns to the cardboard cutout of Sun-jae standing behind her. But when she opens her eyes, Sol is surprised to see the real Sun-jae calling her name. According to the drama’s synopsis, this is when our heroine somehow travels to 2008, reverting back to her teenage self and meeting the also 19-year-old Sun-jae as fellow high school students.
Despite being starstruck by the pretty, our resourceful heroine understands that this is her long-awaited opportunity to save her star from the tragedy in his future. Now recovered from her initial shock, the teaser then closes as Sol cutely goes in for a hug.
Although not yet featured, the series also stars Song Geon-hee (Joseon Attorney), N.Flying’s Lee Seung-hyub (Shooting Stars), and Song Ji-ho (Doctor Cha) among others.
Written by Lee Shi-eun (True Beauty), with PD Kim Tae-yub (When My Love Blooms) and PD Yoon Jong-ho co-directing, tvN’s Lovely Runner will be coming to our screens on April 8.

…so I spent the whole time since this was announced not reading any descriptions and thinking this was about a marathon runner or something

I also have only really paid attention to "time slip romance" in the news so far and don't know how I feel about the high school angle. I'm not usually one for high school-centric dramas, but who knows?

I am looking forward to this as it sounds like a mix of Blue birthday and Seasons of blossom. Hopefully it will be a lighter version of both.

The cardboard cutout of an idol coming to life made me think of the web drama My Romantic Some Recipe.

That reminded me of the web drama Pop out boy a manga character from ten years previously who comes alive and turns up at school so he stands out because he acts cheesy and out of date.
Thanks for mentioning My romantic some recipe I looked it up and hopefully I have found all the webdrama episodes on Youtube.

The funniest part is even in the second comment it autocorrected to Snowdon after I pasted it, but I "corrected" it before hitting send.

@seeker So Autocorrect watches The Crown, not kdramas? We're learning more about its habits but it's not learning ours!

Sounds interesting. Can I request you to please explain what that means. Are we to imagine ourselves in place of the FL or has the writer has written herself as FL.

Audience self-insert. She's living every fangirl's dream -- being friends with oppa, saving oppa, falling in love with oppa.

I am now trying to imagine what my office now would look like if I created a little museum of memorabilia for one of my 60 year old actress idols, say Na Young Hee. I'm afraid Ms. Na might find it a little creepy if she learned about it, especially if I had a life-sized cardboard cutout of her. Also, there could be some turmoil at home if I replaced the cardboard cutout that is now prominently displayed of my wife!

It's the website Archive of Our Own, an open source repository website for fanfiction of all kinds.

If BWS can have a happy ending for once it would be nice!
KHY alone is a good reason to watch it!
As a fan of N.Flying, LSH is the cherry on the pie 🥰

I don’t like the idea of BWS’s character dying in this one bit so will welcome yet another time travel drama. Bring it on.

For the love of God, please be cute and fluffy. I need my fave Kim Hye-yoon to thrive, and for Byun Woo-seok to be alive and well and happily in love *shudders from 20th Century Girl war flashbacks. A moment of silence for dramaland's strongest soldier, KHY's neck, your contributions will not be forgotten.

Sorry I didn't understand the reference to KHY's neck. 🤔
PS - to give you some context, I'm very curious and ask a lot of questions, that is why I'm the Seeker. 😅 TIA for your patience in answering my questions. ♥️😊

No need to explain! I'm always happy to explain things in detail.
There's been a long-running trend of KHY pairing up with exceptionally tall male actors, something made even more prominent by the fact that she's quite petite and therefore all their kiss scenes requiring a lot of humorous extra maneuvering lol. I'll always remember that one behind the scenes video of Rowoon and Lee Jae-wook towering over her and pretending they couldn't hear what she said because she was too tiny. This girl's poor neck's been through a lot.

The most funny part it's she didn't hear what they were saying sometimes 😂

This looks like a lovely light Romance drama watch... provided PD-Nim and Writer-Nim don't saddle us with a serial killer...
I'm adding this to my list of potential dramas for watching... provided it's showing on one of the streaming services I subscribe to.
