Kim Hye-yoon becomes Byun Woo-seok’s Lovely Runner

by tccolb

It’s time to take out our big girl and big boy pants – and maybe some tissues while we’re at it – to prepare for tvN’s upcoming romance Lovely Runner. In the newly dropped teaser, we finally get a glimpse of the present timeline’s unwelcome doom and gloom. But the timeslip brings hope for a happier re-ending with our adorable leads, Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon) and Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop).

Our fangirl Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) had once hit a dark point in her life, when Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok) appeared like a shining star, offering comfort. Thus when Sun-jae meets his tragic death, Sol dreams the impossible, wishing that, “Even if we’re in different times, I’m going to run across it all and go to see you.”

Though the dramagods ignore my pleas, they are gracious to Sol – sending our plucky heroine back to the past when she and Sun-jae were both 19. She’s hilariously upfront, though, revealing right away that she’s the future Sol from 2023 and publicly professes her love to Sun-jae, security guards be damned.

Sun-jae thinks Sol is crazy at first and gets fed up with her antics. But it’s hard to not be endeared by her sincerity, when Sol insists that she can protect her and Sunjae’s future by sticking to his side like glue. Despite being half his size, Sol even tries to shield Sun-jae from a puddle splash and it doesn’t take long for hearts to develop in our hero’s eyes.

As their relationship grows in the final sequence, we end on Sol’s encouragement to Sun-jae: “At moments when you feel like dying, try enduring even if it’s just one more day. That way, when I return, I can save you.”

Following Wedding Impossible in the Monday-Tuesday slot, tvN’s Lovely Runner is slated to premiere on April 8 with production led by PD Kim Tae-yub (When My Love Blooms), PD Yoon Jong-ho, and writer Lee Shi-eun (True Beauty).

I'm very happy this drama will follow Wedding Impossible because I will probably have a withdrawal effect at the end!

The trailer is hilarious, I'm curious how she got on this street lamp 😂

So far so good, if the only dark is what led to the death and it’s no more than 30% of the storyline this looks like it will be worth enduring those scenes for the 70% funny and sweet.

Byun Wooseok would benefit if his looks were underplayed a bit and he can come across as a bit knocked around and lived in.

I’m really looking forward to this one. It’s exactly the youth themed drama that’s up my alley. There’s a heartwarming vibe to it almost like Weightlifting fairy. If it’s half as amazing, 2024 is already better than the past 2 years in the kdrama scene for me lol.

As someone who often suffers from painful second embarrassment, my only worry about this one is that Sol will go through a seemingly endless stream of humiliating moments in her quest to gain Sun-jae's trust and affection. I also wasn't a huge fan of "True Beauty," feeling that it reinforced all the prejudices it was purporting to subvert, so I'm not confident about the writing here, either. But I so want to love this, as the leads look adorable together.
