Well, in my opinion of the first episode, I am happy and excited. I was very impressed with the story and the hero, his unnatural beauty and his body! To be honest, I don't care what the heroine looks like, whether she's old or not. Her acting is a masterpiece and her expressions are perfect. She made me cry with her. I really love her. Great, this drama is light and not heavy and makes me think and analyze. I love this The hero and heroine have chemistry. The hero, I repeat, is a beautiful and very handsome moving angel. The heroine is cute. I want to eat her.

(You should watch this drama soo good drama 💖!!)

It is very exciting! All the scene are not boring and especially to the characters and the main character was having a chemistry. I am very excited to watch the episode 3 and 4. I cant wait for the next episode on Monday and Tuesday!

For the next episode Ill be waiting and I am going to rewatch the episode 1 and 2 while thinking about what happen to the next episode.

For the director, writer and all of the people behind the scenes. Thank you for having these exciting kdrama.

But please dont make our heart hurt for the last episode. We dont want to be hurt or sad endings. Hehe. Thank you!!!!

My first time left a review on a K-drama. The fact that I admire both lead characters. They are so hard working and I'm glad they never gave up on acting despite being refused so many times.

For Lovely Runner, it holds a special place in my heart. I've never been excited for a drama that much.

The movie combines romance, comedy, thriller, fantasy and so many exciting elements to be the best drama. To be honest, from Ep 2 to date excites me. Everything is so well filmed and beautiful 🦋💕💕💕 I love Ep 4 and Ep 8 so so much. I don't want it to end T_T

Thanks the cast and production team for the amazing movie.

After a long time, one kdrama without boring episodes. Engaging chemistry between the leads. Started watching this drama mainly for the male lead, totally in love with the series. Can not wait for the upcoming episodes. This one will definitely be one of the best kdrama of all the time. Addicted to this drama.

Honestly, for me I like all the plot twist happened in every episodes. The characters are funny but cute, it's keeps you smiling that make your jaw hurt but also feel second hand embarrassment. The ML knows how to act firm but secretly make smile "kilig" everytime the FL do something sweet. I love how FL act her character, she knows how to make us feel second hand embarrassment. But I want the ML and FL will have happy ending please and also the other characters. The ending should be align with the title Lovely, so it must be happy, and I can't wait for the next episode and next episode and next episode. Anyway, hope for the best :))) 🤞

The series is very wonderful from the first minute to the last second of the episode. Exciting. It makes me feel nice butterflies in my stomach. I cannot wait for the series to be completed. Woo Seok is very cute. I love him very much. His acting is very good. The heroine is also nice. This is the first series I have watched starring her . I hope the ending is happy. I cannot bear it if something happens to one of the heroes. I will faint if the ending is sad . I feel that this series will be on the list of the best series of 2024. I offer my encouragement to the heroes and hope they continue their wonderful work. I support them from the bottom of my heart.

Their chemistry is also so wonderful I think it's a drama for beginners . Iwant more dramas of them all actors are so realistic I love this drama. Hye yoon and woo seok they are really cute the other characters are also so cute they all are so realistic I their characters It's really so fun I want more dramas of them friends are also so adorable I think everyone must watch this drama It's definitely make you so happy 😁😊 It's get goosebumps.

When we are in a sad mood I think the scenes in this drama really make you laugh 😂🤣 And it's really have a lot funny adorable scenes His friends really make me laugh and her friends and family ......they are all good Every one ,it's really worth for watchhh.

I enjoyed the first few episodes, got bored after repetitive storyline and lost interest after episode 11. There're too many unnecessary filler scenes, this drama should have been shorter. I liked Byeon Woo Seok's acting though his character seemed one dimensional, yet he's able to convey emotional depth and his micro-expression was good. On the other hand, Kim Hye Yoon's overacting became too much as the story progressed. I'm not particular impressed with her continued wide-eyed look, and felt she was stiff in intimate scenes. Overall, I liked the OSTs, cinematography and wished the drama could have been shortened to maybe 12 episodes.

This drama is amazing, the characters and acting are so good. The plot is very nice and even had a massage that even if everything is sad and the life is hard it will be okay and that always there is a shine side of life but you just need to look carefully and appreciate that you is still alive and healthy. Every episode make more excited for the next episode. I can't wait for tomorrow episode.

I really advise everyone to watch it, I even convince my younger brother to watch it and he liked it so much. And now we are watching it together.

It's just 5 episodes that have been released but I really enjoyed it.

I've heard people raving about lovely runner and talking about how good it is, I don't get it. I thought the main story was pretty interesting, the time travel and mystery and crime, the male and female leads are pretty cute together and usually fun to watch, the second couple... they bug me so much. Way too much screen time for 2 people who are painful to watch.

Also, there are some very drastic jumps from serious, to comedy, it feels out of place a lot. Something that should probably be viewed as a serious or scary scene will immediately be messed up by throwing in some "comedy" that doesn't fit, it's like two people were writing the show worth different genres in mind and had no communication for scenes.

I've seen people talking about the time travel being confusing, I didn't find it confusing, maybe that's just me though. There is a lot of back and forth and filler though, like, way too much.

I gave it a 7/10 because despite my many problems and annoyances, I manged to finish it, the first and last episodes were definitely better than the middle of the show for sure.

The story starts off quite involving. The first half is quite good. You want to see her save him from suicide and her from paralysis. The appealing cast helps. She is perky without being annoying. He inhabits this star making vehicle perfectly. He is a bit too tall for her. Some of the OST music is nice too.

Unfortunately there are too many travels back and forth so everything you watched before feels like a waste of time. It becomes confusing and hard to follow and ridiculous. Cannot keep track of what he or she knows or remembers after a while. The criminal guy going after her feels totally out of place. So many scenes and several trips back in time could have been eliminated.

If this series had been 8 or the most 12 episodes it would have been better. The repetitive storyline would have been avoided. And the childish unfunny jokes. The show was so successful but it just seems hype about the leading man.

I really really like this kdrama my fav webtoon getting into kdrama is so good I recommend this to everyone. And the female lead is my fav one I have been waiting for her new one though it's so good I really like this. Im sol is so luck I can't wait for next episoded. I want is ASAP. I recommend to all kpop stan though. It's so good and as a good purposes in it. And those who hate this kdrama I don't what you want. Its so good and so much exciting. I really like the baeyon the male lead though he is so good and its his first main lead role kdrama it's so good though they both have good chemistry.

Move aside every kdrama ever because the Daepyonim is here, top two not two, the shining star of kdramas in the 2020s 'Run Away With Sun Jae on Piggyback' is here to be cemented as your all time fave. It's almost 5am, I stayed up binging the final three episodes and have no regrets. Like, I am speechless after just having watched the final episode minutes ago, but the kind of speechless I will remember forever. I laughed, cried, swooned, hid my eyes in fear, and fell in love with every single character in the show. They stuck that final landing like a gold medal gymnast gracefully flipping through the air and landing light as air. I have no notes, no qualms (except if I'm being picky who was knocking on you know who's door on that fateful day, I thought we'd resolve that!). Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae are my babies forever, love them so much. I'm only sad that it's over. I'm only sad the excitement of watching for the first time is never to return. But I'm also thrilled at the idea that I can rewatch this series as much as I want. Because it's one of my all time faves, Romantic Comedy at its finest, making What's Wrong With Secretary Kim proud. This puts U. S. shows to shame too. Everyone get at Lovely Runners level. Will imdbers agree in time and get the rating back to 9? Or will the ratings here mean nothing as always, I guess time will tell.

Absolutely perfect, I have nothing to say about it! The actors are excellent, the story is perfect in my opinion, I love the concept of the story, based with very funny comedy and a happy ending! Nothing better than that! It's really a big favorite for me. I have never named a film or series as my favorite but this is going to be the first! I simply adore it. More series like this and I would be delighted! Of course not everyone would appreciate this series because it is a bit cliché, but for those who love clichés like me with happy endings, a little suspense, full of humor, a little sadder moments, fantasy and a cute romance you will love! This series has excellent music, I even listen to it in my car, the scenario is well represented, the emotion is very present and the actors are wonderfully chosen! The combination of Byeon Woo-Seok and Kim Hye-Yoon creates a rather unexpected duo in my opinion, but exceptionally well matched! They go so well together.

The first 12 episodes were fantastic! Very good! They deserved a 10+. The last 4 were very good, but unfortunately they did not rise to the level of the first ones that raised the bar so much. FL actions to change future are not too smart enough. Also she could stop time telling truths from the future, so she could stop the murderer, but she doesn't. Adittionally the explanation of time travel, final resolution and grandma's role could have been better. They insisted too much on unimportant issurs and lost sight of others, as reaction of the boss and acquaintances when they met; additionally ML and FL relation was too calm after they finally find each other happy. I would have expected more passion and impatience after they had waited one after the other for so many years and had been lost so many times; very good chemistry.

I gave this an 8, either it should have been a 9, just because I don't think it is better than "Alchemy of Souls" and "Crash Landing on you".

My SolJae.. What will I do now every Monday and Tuesday? As much as I have loved other dramas, I think this might just be in my top five all time. With the love story that I have been following between these two, and have been watching since basically the beginning, I don't know how quickly I can let them go. These two either brought a smile to my face or tears with each episode.

The acting within this project is phenomenal. I felt as if I was genuinely a character in the show with how much emotion and attachment I've grown upon these characters. The chemistry made me feel as if they were actually together. I love both of these actors so much, and I will continue to love them, but Lovely Runner will forever hold a place in my heart.

The story follows Im Sol, a girl who's a fangirl of a K-Pop group called Eclipse. She had bought a watch at an auction that once belonged to her favorite member, Ryu Sunjae. Once 2023 begins, that Sunjae passes away, but there's nothing she could do from stopping his death, right? Things began to go into a spiral when she clicks the watch and she goes back 15 years into the past. While there, she meets her favorite member when he was a high schooler. Now she's in her 2008 body and finds that she lived across from him. What will she do now that she is trying to correct time and keep him from his "unfixable" fate?

I just want to say that this romance is one of a kind. My favorite part about this story is the fact that Sunjae is a loser in love. No matter if he is a singer, an actor, or just a regular highschool boy, he still acts out in front of his crush. He may have lost his memories throughout each lifetime, but he will always find his way back to Sol. It didn't matter what universe or weird time jumps occurred, he always found his way back to the one he loved. His destiny was to be with her, even if he were to have died.

This drama deserves all of the hype!! I'm so sad to see them go but I'm also so happy that I got to experience such a wonderful story. This marks an end of a chapter, but there will always be more to come.

ALSO!! I loved the fact that even when the future changed, Sunjae was always meant to be some sort of famous person in South Korea. He was a singer whose group sold out tickets, but he was also an actor who had successful dramas. But his occupation didn't matter, he was still Sol's.

I initially refrained from watching the drama after reading negative reviews that criticized it as overhyped. However, upon viewing it, I now understand why it was talk of the day. The lead actors delivered outstanding performances, and their dedication is evident throughout. The music, storyline, and plot twists were all well crafted. Having watched a lot of K-dramas, I can confidently rank this one among the top five on my list. Unlike other time-travel storylines that have major plot holes or flaws, lovely runner seemed a masterpiece. I don't understand why some people would leave negative reviews for such a captivating drama, but I would definitely recommend anyone to watch it.

Also in addition, like everyone, I wish if Eclipse was a real band, instead of a fictional one. They would definitely be breaking records.

Since everyone was overhyping this and giving it a 10/10 review lol I needed to understand what was so good about this. I finished lovely runner, first episode was absolute cringe! Honestly, I didn't want to watch the rest of the series. I didn't get hooked right away, but wanted to give it a fair chance.

Later when I saw the guy's perspective, the storyline made more sense and I found it more enjoyable to watch. The girl is a great actress, but my goodness her character is such a crybaby! It's exhausting to watch her cry over small things and tears became meaningless overtime that I couldn't get emotional.

Overall, this is a true "rom-com" and "fantasy". Although, I didn't shed a tear on lovely runner, it's still a unique show to watch. For me, this didn't live up to the hype. One thing I'm sure is that I won't be rewatching it. I totally get why this didn't make it to Netflix.

There is only a few time traveling korean drama...Comparing with them it's one of best .... There is no boring episode.... Most of the Korean drama become boring after a few episodes but it was a exception...the people rating low didn't see the whole drama I guess and saying nonsense and stupid reasons to not like it...you should watch it first. It's much more interesting to me than queen of tears too...I loved it so much ... And again it's my personal opinion... I wasn't planning to watch this drama but while I started I liked it more and more.... Some people are saying that they rated it because of charisma of male lead or it seemed bore to them after first few episodes... While All of the episode are equally good..and female lead too.... They are lovely 😍 Best of luck to them.

Seemed like writer was confuses themselves and they couldn't really deliver what they wanted instead they made it so slow till the end! There was so many things that could have made one really confused and that's why I skipped so many parts .I really did love the acting, the chemistry everything but plot could be a little better rather than repeating the same thing again and again. It could have been made happy and better after few episodes instead of bringing it to the same sorrowful plot again that at last felt monotonous and it would have also gave this a Prolonged end not an abrupt one! ✨🌟

I saw the first and second episodes and I was very impressed with fast paced story, multitude of characters and time jumps. ... and yes, the male lead.. WOW

however, from then the story is going down hill. It seems the writer for first 2 episodes was paid a lot and then when people got interested, they brought someone else on.

The female is supposedly 30 plus years and she acts, whines and does completely silly unreasonable actions towards both male leads as if she is 16 years old... and her 18 years old self is perhaps intellectually deficient or perhaps with IQ of a goose. Most annoying. The writers have no idea of how smart teenager girls are and how well they know how to work (watch Twinkling Watermelon or Pyramid Game please)

2. After a jump of 18 years, they still look the same; GET a grip.. he is an idol, maybe he got all sort of treatments, but the girl has been wheel chair bound. No convincing at all.

3. She has gone back in past to save her, but she is clueless totally, NO PLAN - NO idea what to do,, just jumping on random occasions and be all over him and when he reciprocates, she runs away without even the curtesy of explaining her.

4. Male lead fell in love with what exactly??? More so the 2nd male lead. Baffling. Male lead does not ever demand her to explain her actions and she does not even offer it. What is this?

5. Her own memory has gaps the size or antarctica. She has no idea of her past, of her accident, of her abuser... what happened to her memory.

The story is getting weirder with every passing episode and more and more annoying... The reason more than 50% of viewership and rating is SIMPLY MALE LEAD... He has CHARISMA. All else is truly below average.

And shout out to two actors, excellent performances, the mother of FL and father of ML -- very fine acting, so bad they don't have good dialogues. A waste of their talent.
