Kim Hye-yoon cries for Byun Woo-seok in tvN’s Lovely Runner

by tccolb

Now that we’ve swooned plenty over 2D photos – and cardboard cutouts – of ~~luscious lips~~ star celeb Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon), it’s time for our heroine Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) to continue her fantasy in live-action, watching dramas of her favorite man in the latest teaser for tvN’s Lovely Runner.

I’m starting to get worried that all these fun promos are skyrocketing my excitement and it’s hard to hold back my widening grin when the teaser’s music is just so good. Calling back to the melodramas of yore, the tinkling piano sets the perfect mood as Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok) acts in the full noble idiocy of his character, pleading, “Don’t like me. I’m telling you, don’t like me.”

A teary-eyed Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) gives as good as she gets, pretending to take the place of the drama-in-the-drama’s female lead as she demands to understand what Sun-jae means and how it’s even possible to not like him. As per the captions, the ~dramatic~ script hilariously comes from the Outsider saga by webnovelist Gwiyeoni, who went viral in the early aughts and is well known as the original source writer of the movie Temptation of Wolves.

The icing on the teaser’s cake, of course, is Sun-jae’s single tear. But this is when our adorable Sol breaks out of her fantasy, reaching with a tissue to dab the tear from her precious idol’s face on the computer screen. Giggling over how handsomely Sun-jae cries, Sol then references our story’s Korean title as the teaser comes to a close, wondering aloud if she should just throw Sun-jae onto her back and carry him away. In the meantime, my sidetracked mind is wondering what lip gloss they’re both wearing.

On the production side, tvN’s Lovely Runner has PD Kim Tae-yub (When My Love Blooms) and PD Yoon Jong-ho at the helm, with scripts penned by Lee Shi-eun (True Beauty). The timeslip romance will be coming to our screens next month, premiering on April 8 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.

What is the Korean title BTW? It has to be better than the latest entry in the “My Lovely…” series.

It's 선재 업고 튀어/ Seon-jae Eopgo Tweo or literally "Run away with Sun-jae on Piggyback". You can generally check the Korean titles for Dramas on their Wikipedia page.

Hence why I am adamantly sticking to the original English title, "Carry Sun-Jae and Run." 😜 It's SO much more clever, fun, and memorable.

There's no way this stays as fluffy as the teasers given the synopsis (i.e., the ML's death in the present). And with the writer of True Beauty, which I dropped 😬 Lol but I'm just getting all that negativity out of the way, because I really like the main leads, and this looks fun and like it will be sweet and have heart. So I'll try it!! 🏃‍♂️‍➡️

If they follow the webtoon, then the reason for the ML's death is pretty tragic, so it won't be all fluff.

It wasn't that obvious to me, I've only seen the fun trailers and didn't read the description. So I didn't know death was in it. I will still watch.

Yes, but will it be fun tragedy? In other words, will white trucks be involved?

I am looking forward to watching this one and knowing that he dies and she has to stop it has set the context for the time travel mix of fun and sadness we will endure.

Well it does add a sense of urgency to it if she has the "task" to perform. Just hope we don't get too weepy about it and maintain the comic tone.

tccolb Thank you for such a fun, luscious and glossy write up which makes us smile widely. It would almost be remiss of us to watch the teaser after reading this. Let's have fun together watching the drama. 😊👌
