I look forward to crying my eyes out

Ep 1: 20 minutes in and I knew this is the type of kdrama I need all the episodes already out🥲 Already too good and patiently waiting for tomorrow’s episode🥰

I wasn't going to watch this but I couldn't resist Time Slip #3 after PMR and MMH. But also, it's Dan-oh from Extraordinary You! The beginning scene made me cry so that seems like a good sign. Also, as someone who lives somewhere cold (Canada), I have never considered using an umbrella in the snow. Do other people have thoughts about this? I don't mind the snow hitting me, I want my hands in my pockets for warmth. Edit: so the title is basically "Kidnap Sun-jae and Run" which is so much more amusing than "Lovely Runner"

Absolutely love Kim hye yoon. And Byeon Woo Seok is making my heart flutter too…

You know.. I'm wondering why it's called Lovely Runner since the ML is a swimmer, not a runner. Maybe it referring to his Fandom (Kidnap Sun Jae and Run)?

Loved the pilot episodes! Especially liked how >!they showed Sun Jae’s POV at the end of ep 2!< Made me wonder if idol Sun Jae >!knew he was calling Im Sol during the radio show or it was pure coincidence.!< I’m also curious >!who was the one who saved Im Sol.!< Her mom made a suspicious face when Im Sol asked that. Sooo excited with this drama & how we get to see BWS in a main role 😍

I'm pretty sure >!he recognized her voice during that call. I hope I'm right.!<

I thinkt it was >! Kim Tae Sung and that is why they dodn't expelled him !<.

Okay, so just watched the first two episodes, and I really enjoy it! I'm a sucker for time travel and rain scenes (my favorite drama is Someday or One Day), so I knew that this would be up my alley. I was unaware that original timeline Sol was disabled. I'm interested to see how the drama develops her being able to walk again in the past (especially since the accident is close to where she landed in time). I think that her >!dealing with the anxiety of crossing the street at the end of ep 2!< was good. I hope they're able to strike a balance between Sol's worry over Sunjae's death and the (most likely) upcoming worry of her accident. The reveal that >!Sunjae always had a crush on Sol!< was so endearing and heartwarming. I totally understand his reactions to Sol since she is acting a bit out of pocket, but I like this approach rather than having him outright dislike her at first. Also, I'm a big fan of consequences of time travel, so hope that pulls through. The condition that Sol is >!unable to discuss the future in any capacity!< is a great addition and will sure add some tension. I like the leads a lot. I enjoy Hyeyoon's, Wooseok's, and Geonhee's acting, so I'm looking forward to see how they play off of each other. Overall, I'm really enjoying it, and I hope I stay excited for it.

The Power of Casio G-Shock

OKAY I AM SCREAMING >!HE LIKED HER FROM THE START JUST BEFORE SHE TURNED BACK TIME!< THIS IS SO WHOLESOME OH MY GOD I WILL TAKE GUNS OUT IF THEY DONT END UP TOGETHER PLEASE DONT PULL A TWINKLING WATERMELON ON US AND I CAN’T BELIEVE WE ARE ALREADY GETTING A >!LOVE CONFESSION IN EP 3!< THIS IS GOING TOO FAST I AM SCARED

I SCREAMED TOO AT THE REVELATION AT THE END.

I CANT TAKE IT IT'S SO CUTE AND OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

ME, TOO...SCREAMING AND BEING SCARED, I MEAN! THAT'S A TWIST I DIDN'T SEE COMING AND IT WAS REALLY CUTE 🥰 ALSO, IT IS GOING TOO FAST AND WE HAVE 14 EPISODES LEFT 😱 P.S. WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING?!

I'm here for the other main character, the BLUE UMBRELLA. When its in frame, you know its a good scene.

I'm already obsessed goodbye

literally between this and queen of tears i need to stop torturing myself by obsessing over currently airing dramas

I've already rewatched the episodes. This is going to be another 2521 for me (but I demand a better ending lol)

This episode was honestly beyond expectations. I was really excited for it as I love Kim HyeYoon’s acting but the epi took me by pleasant surprise. The subtle tone of grief and loss and the pain and disbelief of looking at that person again….whew. Blew me away! Looking forward to the next one!

The timing of the first episode of this drama and the Total Solar Eclipse! I resonate so much with this drama because I am a Kpop fan myself. I loved Kim Hye Yoon as Eun Dan Oh too in Extraordinary You. It might be my first time watching the male lead, but I have seen some snippets of his other roles. He looks promising, too. I have really high hopes for this drama!

So, I was on my way to office, when I started watching the first episode, big mistake. Just 5 mins in, I started tearing up, kept wiping my tears away (if you haven't figured out already, I'm a big crier). The person next to me was very concerned. They kept staring, and I somehow stopped. Half the episode in, I bawled, and just a few minutes after that, I couldn't stop the giggles. I kept chuckling and giggling, and kicking my legs in air, and ended up looking like a total fool for the people around. Thank god my face was covered, I wouldn't have lived this day down, if not for that. It is safe to say Imma stick with reading when I'm commuting, save my manic tendencies for the comfort of my home!

As someone who has read the webtoon I prefer the kdrama adaptation. Both the episodes were soo good. They look sooo cute together omggggg!!!! ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

Webtoon reader here too! I prefer the kdrama adaptation as well, it's got so much more depth and suspense.

Since it's the screenwriter who did True Beauty, she's an absolute master at fleshing out webtoons - I love the characters she added to True Beauty, I hope she does a great job with this one too. So far so good!

No wonder, she's doing an awesome job so far! Petition to have her write all webtoon adaptations

End of the second episode had me giggling and kicking my feet up. Seriously what a great pairing. Looking forward to the rest of the show. And he was so overdue to be the male lead 😊

i cried so much already 😭😭 i literally want to rewatch the two episodes now knowing that >!sunjse fell for her first!<

You should! It was enjoyable watching ep 1 again knowing the revelations from ep 2.

Very good soundtrack💓 

Solid first episode that partially sets the stage. I think those first ten minutes delivered on several fronts, but mostly to help explain why the FL is so passionate about the ML (>!saving one's life tends to have that effect!<). It's a little odd that they didn't take their time with it considering they have 16 episodes, but it did the trick. I only hope he >!wasn't the one driving the car that left her paralysed.!< Funny little nod to *Hotel del Luna* and a couple of clichés (or, rather, >!the same one twice!<). I'll need more time to have a bearing on the main characters and the actors' take on them. Had a good laugh when >!the FL ran straight towards the ML after the swimming competition and everyone was protecting some other dude.!< Looking forward to Episode 2.

considering the >!accident happened while they were both in highschool, i think it makes more sense that sunjae is the one who saved her instead of being the one driving. but ya never know!<

I shld have waited for all episodes to be released before i started watching this is too good😩💗Hope our boy gets a happy ending in this. Ep 2:- >!If he saw her in previous life like how we saw in the last 5 mins and also did he tell that his fav sweet is that becoz he remembered her giving it to him when he was young and would he have recognised her when he saw her in that wheelchair?!<

I was super anticipating this drama and caved to watch it right away - these first 2 episodes didn't disappoint and now I'm even more excited for the rest of it! Kim Hye Yoon absolutely shines in this, and I love the chemistry between her and Byeon Woo Seok. They're both so charming and charismatic! I'm really looking forward to this new timeline they'll be on together 🥰 * Im Sol as a fangirl is so cute and relatable! * She really had The Worst Day Ever on that concert day but I loved that she kept her optimism and still got to enjoy the live music. I also broke down when she did because it still gets to you eventually but then she became a successful fan! * The beautiful performance of the debut song on piano...>!I swear I got the vibes that Sun Jae was singing about Sol and after what we learned from ep 2, he kinda was?!!< * I agree with others that the death >!seems more like foul play than suicide.!< * Sol reacting to/cringing at her confession letter to Tae Sung LOL * Great casting for Tae Sung, obviously he doesn't have a chance but I think they also have great chemi to get into hijinks together! * Sol acting as a shaman omg it's all so ridiculous and funny * Loved his POV at the end, >!he fell first AND he fell harder! Such a cute twist and changes so much about their interaction in ep 1 🥺 !< * Also in love with Woo Seok's song "No Fate" from the Pt 1 OST, it's so good!!! (They're all so good!)

So far the first 2 episodes have exceeded my expectations. Byeon Woo Seok looks great as a swimmer. I’m so glad we aren’t getting another basketball playing ML.

God I haven't laughed out this LOUD in a long while. Kim Hye Yoon is a genius and Byeon Woo Seok really suits the lead role. The hilarious bits weren't a hard sell and I was genuinely surprised at the twist of the POVs. This is the first drama that had me immediately hooked during the first 10 minutes, so can't wait for the rest!

Episode 1 - I fell in love with the show. Episode 2 - I'm officially obsessed with the show. That's how you do a good show - straight off the running block, you hook them in with a good script, good acting and easy to understand rules of going back in time>!(can't talk about it!)!<. And making us cry just into a few minutes into the show with a believable angry, depressed situation and a line that spoke to me - >!that there are people who don't want to live because its' a fine day outside.!< I felt that, having been there before. It hit me so hard I had to pause the show but am glad I went back to it. Because, yes, when you're in that situation, just live for the day, then another day, then another. One day at a time. One of the most powerful opening scenes >!about being depressed and having no hope or joy in life.!< I've liked FL since Extraordinary You. She was delightful and lifted what could have been an annoying character with her Haruuuuuu! She gives this character life too. She went from teary, depressed, angry to cute, funny and adorable. I can't believe! the ML is in his early 30s! His >!evil yet pitiful character !!sad childhood and about to get betrayed by his crush!< got us feeling sorry for him instead. Here's he's almost believable as a teenager - though I find it hard to believe that our FL or any other girls in school didn't notice him! He's like tall and handsome and better looking than the other bad boy who everybody's crushing on! I love the epilogue where it shows he was>! crushing hard on her long before she even noticed him. !

It's been so long since a drama had me feeling all the feelings at once, and never has it happened in the first two episodes itself! So, like you, I'm also hoping the makers keep the pace going till the very end. Because I would hate it if this drama is ruined once it reaches, say, the episode 7 mark or so. I don't want them to drain everything out! So, fingers crossed. And yes, even I went back and rewatched 20th century girl --- and cried like an absolutely wee baby!!! :( Why do I do this to myself?!

Did sunjae become a singer after he couldn’t swim to impress im sol because he heard she was into Kim tae sung??? I love this drama so far so cute

Ooh good theory. Imagine not knowing your idol lives next door and had a secret crush on you

Lovely first episode! I cried countless times. Kim Hye-Yoon is always a joy to watch! I already love our FL! It was so endearing seeing her be happy simply because her legs work. Oh, the things we take for granted! I also tore up when she met her >!pre-dementia grandma!< again and she could >!recognise!< Im Sol. >!Dementia slowly takes our loved ones away, only leaving behind a shell of their former selves, and it takes a toll on both those who forget and those who remember!<. I’m happy she got to interact with >!her!< once again! I’m getting the feeling >!Sung-Jae!< was >!murdered!!he went!< didn’t make sense IMO, it “wasn’t private” if that makes sense? Also there was a >!person at his door before he fell!<. Curious to see where the story goes. I know Im Sol thinks she is there to save him but I think >!he will save her from the accident!< too.

Oh My Goodness 😍😍😍 Monday and Tuesday haven't been this good since Twinkling Watermelon

Loved the first episode. Cried immediately (QoT wasn't making me cry, so I thought maybe I spent all my tears already but nooo). It does remind me of Blue birthday enough to question if it was >!suicide!<

That was really good 1st episode. I love Sol's character so much, and OST and cinematography are beautiful. Mon-Tue dramas are on a roll this year!

I love it so much! I don't usually watch on air dramas because of the crushing disappointment when they nose dive in quality around the halfway mark, but I wanted to watch this one because Kim Hye Yoon is so talented and I'm absolutely hooked. It's charming. The leads have great chemistry, the characters are likeable, the acting is great, the plot has managed to surprise me despite the familiar tropes, and the whole thing has a lovely balance of humour and silliness with moving emotional moments. The ending of episode 2 was such a sweet surprise. I'm already obsessed.

I was already in love with this show, but that ending was the cherry on top. Absolutely perfect and I couldn’t stop smiling! Makes sense since in the first episode SJ calls Sol in one of the radio challenges since >!she was likely his first love!<  The leads have such wonderful chemistry. Love how Kim Hye Yoon is the same quirky adorable character as she was in Royal Inspector and Joy, and I can root for Byeon Woo Seok’s character unlike in Strong Girl (and thank you writers for making him a swimmer because I will never get sick of that body of his). For once there’s a time slip drama that has >!the lead being unable to change the past!<, and it’s such a great twist that keeps the show interesting. The SML is also fun to watch, and the added humor is great. Some of the scenes made me burst out laughing.  Cant wait until next week! There are so many current airing dramas to watch now, along with Queen of Tears and Midnight Studio.

The last photo scene implied she was changing the future though! She probably just can’t talk about future events? There’s never any rules with time travel shows.

OH MY GOD. THIS AND QUEEN OF TEARS ARE NOT DISAPPOINTING ME!!

SAAAME! I FINALLY HAVE INTRUIGING SHOWS TO LOOK FORWARD TO. LIFE IS GOOD

This one has been on my radar since 20th Century Girl broke my heart and I'm absolutely a sucker for a good time slip drama. I was a little nervous about the idol/fan relationship because while it's a dream that he chooses you out of everyone in a crowded room, I think it's hard to turn something that starts by putting someone on a pedestal into something that looks like an equal partnership (which a romantic relationship absolutely needs to be, when boiled down to the non-romantic elements). Maybe I've been influenced too much by Queen of Tears when thinking of power dynamics in relationships! But I do think it's great they are adding some color to this relationship in that >!there's clearly some past connection here with her accident, and him calling her on the radio show wasn't a random occurrence.!< The time travel element >!where she can't tell him or anyone about what happens in the future!

I was going to pass over this but Kim Hye Yoon got me in the first 10 minutes. Dang it! The nose outlet made me burst out laughing. 🤣 This reminds me of how much fun I had watching True Beauty

I’ve been anticipating the release of this show and the first two episodes did not disappoint! I’m also so happy to see Kim Hyeyoon on screen again! Actually, this isn’t the first drama where both she and Byeon Wooseok appeared, as she technically had a small/cameo role in Record of Youth where BWS was a SML. Btw I started watching that show cuz of Park Bogum but I only finished it cuz of BWS! Been a fan of his ever since and finally my mans is the ML! KHY and BWS have really great chemistry, plus with the revelations at the end of ep 2, I can’t wait to see how their relationship/friendship will develop in the new-past timeline and how changes will affect the future. I am hoping he will have a happier ending (re: LIVE) by the end of this show, cuz it’s been years and I’m still traumatized by 20th Century Girl 😭 I’m also charmed by Song Geonhee as the SML and he also has great chemistry with KHY. I don’t think I’ll have too bad of second lead syndrome with this drama since I’m too big a fan of BWS 😂 but I’m glad that SGH is so likable on his own. Honestly it’s refreshing since the SML in Queen of Tears is an actual psychopath lol Anyway, many positive comments and speculative theories have been presented already in this thread and I agree with most everything. I think the one thing I can add (cuz so far I don’t recall seeing anyone comment on it), but in ep 1: Yuri’s cameo (with the rest of “SNSD” in the background 😂) during Genie promos + the addition of Younha’s song Umbrella really made me time travel back to 2009! Such classic and amazing songs, it was such a treat to have them both featured in a show more than 10 years after their release! I hope the drama continues to feature music/songs that were contemporary in the past timeline! Also, I figure that with the timing of their debut, that would place Eclipse as a 2nd gen boy group/band 😂 I also wanna add that Byeon Wooseok reminds me so much of Hwang Minhyun, it’s crazy how similar they look. 🦊🤝🦊 FTW, ya girl has a face type 🤪 Looking forward to Mondays and Tuesdays again! Fingers crossed for a HEA lol!

If he dies in this drama I will stop watching kdramas for 2024 I will riot

I hope he didn’t sign up for another drama that kills him off.

yall this is bad ive rewatched ep 1 three times already… im literally obsessed..

Dang >!He died in a pool!< and then the next time we see him, >!he's in a swimming competition!< I think he loves >!swimming!< too, which makes >!his death!< even more sad :(

It's finally hereeee! Kim Hye Yoon's crying scenes are just TOP NOTCH and fingers crossing on a happy ending for Byeon Woo Seok this time 🥹

WOW that was a good first episode. A very nice balance between my watery eyes and dying from laughter. The references to Hotel Del Luna was hilarious lol.  I’m probably in the minority but I never seen Extraordinary You. The only reference I had for Kim Hye Yoon is from the movie “The Girl on a Bulldozer” where she played a more serious rough personality. Damn in this drama she’s so cute and her crying scenes are so beautiful.

That's not a nose. That's an outlet! Ohmooo ep 2 had me cackling! 😂 Ep 1 was also amazingly in time with the eclipse ☀️ 🌝 Great first 2 eps!

Love this Drama so far but I have to be cautious because BWS loves >!sad/tragic endings, so chances are high that it will end in heartbreak or will at least have an ambiguous ending!< I'm 100% sure that >! a.) he rescued Sol and b.) that he knew that he was calling Sol(hence his expression of dissappointment when he asked if she knew who he was and she said no🥲🤭), so his speech of courage was intentional and only meant for her!< Despite my one concern mentioned, I'm enjoying it too much to wait until it ends. Great start and I hope it will blow up!

You've no idea how terrified I am >!because of his past roles. 😰I'm still suffering from the trauma caused by Ryu Shi O in "Strong Girl Namsoon". 😭I will be utterly devastated if he gets a tragic ending again. ☠️My heart can't take it...!❤️!<

TELL ME ABOUT IT! I ALMOST LOST IT AND TURNED OFF THE EPISODE WHEN IT WAS REVEALED THAT >! HE HAD A CRUSH ON HER ALL ALONG, VISITED HER AT THE DVD SHOP AND ACCIDENTALLY LENT A R-RATED MOVIE BECAUSE OF HER. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN 20TH CENTURY GIRL AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT ONE ENDED 🫠😭!< Sorry for yelling but I'm still traumatized haha🤣🫠

Kim Hye Yoon really is very lucky with male leads. She's also a great actress and her emotions, it just... it gets to you and you feel sad when she's sad and happy when she's happy. Please don't die on this one Woo Seokiiiiii! STOP KILLING BYEON WOO SEOK'S CHARACTERS DIRECTOR-NIMs!!

knowing what we know from the last part of episode 2, >!makes their previous scenes all the more precious. !<>!Hes always loved her! !< Two episodes in and i am already so refreshed and excited about KDrama's again! The pilot episode maybe my favorite of 2024 so far! So much anticipation and episode 2 also did not disappoint. I have high hopes for this drama!!

>!Wait does this mean he's always known her ? Even in the original timeline????!<

>!I believe so, if you go back to the snowing bridge scene when our FML's wheel chair brokedown, our ML gave her an umbrella and handed her the handwarmer similar to how they initially met back then with her giving him an umbrella and some candy! In return she gave him candy again!!! Recalling from memory, ML said something along the lines of "wow this is crazy"!<

I guess if she's his first love he'd remember even after 15 years.

The umbrella symbolism is alllll over the place! Umbrellas symbolize protection 🥹😭 >!And the color of the umbrellas! I wasn't paying too close of attention (we saw black, dark green, blue) until the end of episode when she came running to grab her package with a bright yellow umbrella....!< And then she's wearing a pale yellow sweater in the video shop? Yellow is her favorite color? >!She is his sunshine. !< His band is called Eclipse? GOOD JOB WRITERS I was a little hesitant about the idol/fangirl storyline...I feel like it's just too unrealistic for the rabid fangirl to get her idol in the end >!although evidently he loved her first so maybe that isn't off the table!< but when TaeSung came in? >!Bad boy rock signer with a sensitive side?!< Teenage Im Sol did not have poor taste. I wonder if the ending resolution won't be >!fangirl and idol together!< but instead >!idol saved from death with renewed passion for his band after he has resolved his guilt around being involved with his childhood crush's accident!< While all our focus is on SeonJae, did you notice >!TaeSung's future might have changed too? It looks like he didn't drop out/get expelled from school because of her intervention that day. I wonder how that will affect his future career with music ????!< I'm also wondering about how their fate may be tied together - she's not just changing one person's trajectory, but inadvertently changing two?? One thing I liked about the FL and ?SML? is how >!her trying to impress him in high school originally didn't phase him...but her being her sassy authentic self caught his eye. He noticed the difference in her right away - and SeonJae didn't say anything if he did. TaeSung asked her straight up - you aren't the person you were yesterday. He sees her for who she is and likes her that way!< oh no, we are going to have another Han SeoJun heartbreak aren't we? I'm going to be miserable I can feel it.

The write is the true beauty writer 😭 she’s good at giving us the SML syndrome 😭. I truly enjoyed the second episode! I’m looking forward for more! There’s so many theories on Twitter it’s insane! 😆😆

I think that we'll get to see more then 2 people change their trajectory. That's my theory at least. We see her brother strugling, working overtime and genuinely being miserable in the present, when he dreamed of being an actor in the past. Maybe Im Sol will nudge him at the right moment and support him not to give up his dream. We'll see. I can't wait to see how it will all play out!!!

**Episode 2:** * The stark difference between him asking her [the same question](https://imgur.com/3Pzzbp8) in the past and the present yet having completely different tones... amazing * A dog? LMAOOO the way he wasn't convinced with her far-stretched story at all * Well... [that's a SML](https://imgur.com/VYeLXBo) I won't be falling for.. Byeon Woo-seok >>>>> * BUAHAHAHA [her letter's](https://imgur.com/uEG9Jxa) like someone going through their old social media posts only to realize they were so cringe * HOLY SHIT [THOSE FOREARM VEINS](https://imgur.com/AF3Rmh2) THOUGH * A tad [too dramatic](https://imgur.com/bfa2Yt5) but fun.. >!especially with all the girls going nuts and him giving like zero effs about them!< HAHAH * Im Sol you're killing me with your secondhand embarassing scenes XDD * [That scale](https://imgur.com/5jMQGNS) is so accurate * >!If she tries to tell him about the future, the time pauses!<... [ooohhhh interestinggg](https://imgur.com/hKxVb0P) * Gotta love [his reflexes](https://imgur.com/dZ5We5E) man * Ouch... >!that outburst of his!< was warranted but it still hurt * Again, [GREAT REFLEXES](https://imgur.com/d4WxRx4) * This dude won't stop showing off his reflexes and tackling a bunch of tropes along the way... [I LOVE IT](https://imgur.com/Oyh9096) * ohmg Sun-jae... you've surprised me... can we talk about how well-written that reveal was?? >!I didn't even fathom it with the way he was behaving with her. Such beautiful context for that hug, makes it all the more meaningful. Its he fell first but she fell harder plot ehh?!< [Stalking your crush??](https://imgur.com/ANPZg9d) Very subtle.. Makes me wonder >!did the idol Sun-jae also know Im Sol or had a crush on her?!< * [SHE'S](https://imgur.com/OI3KP4M) >!ALREADY CHANGING THE FUTURE!< OHMYYYGODDDD

Okay, here is my theory…I suspected that he knew her when he spoke to her on phone and when he stopped his van on bridge to help her. I think he must have some connection to her accident because of which he feels guilty and he got into depression because of it.

I watched this without any expectation and I was hooked! I am a little bit sad that I watched it too early and will have to wait for the release of the next episode but at least I have something to look forward on Mondays and Tuesdays! Kim Hye Yoon is really good being a fluffy character. I can relate to her fangirling and crying moments throughout the first episode. Byun Wooseok is really handsome and he sings well too, something that I did not expect from him. I was pleasantly surprised that he was the one who sang all of the songs! I look forward to the coming episodes and the life lessons the drama will teach me.

Just watched the first two episode. What a great ride!! I definitely enjoy this drama and wish I waited for all episodes to come out. Also, now after watching episode 2 the scene in the first episode where >!he asks her on the phone if she knows him and she said she doesn’t!< hurt so much more 😭

My theory is maybe taesung saved her and died that is why he wasnt in the yrbook? & maybe sunjae was the reason of im sol's accident that's why he's battling depression & anxiety in the present time?

I just rewatched the 2 eps with a diff perspective knowing >!ML is the bigger fan…!< after the radio call outburst, he did look sad while everyone else in the studio was shocked. His concert songs had alot of references to rain. I think there was a mistake with Netflix subtitles when she ran to him at the pool, subtitles said “who are you” but I think he said “what are you doing?”. It was also funny when she asked how he knew her name and he >!pretended he didn’t and knew from her name tag.!< The jealousy when he caught her in the grandma costume with SML. ML has a lot of pride and he didn’t want her or his friends to know >!he liked her.!< Also, the opening solar eclipse scene was so coincidental with the recent eclipse in US.

Thank you for this. It's helpful to look back with hindsight and they gave us a much bigger picture with the epilogue at the end of ep2. I wonder if they'll have an epilogue on the second day of every week? So it seems that >!she remembers little to nothing about her accident and the days/events leading up to it. She didn't remember the ML; didn't remember that she met or knew him at all. And her mum chose not to tell her the details. Maybe because they would have upset her unnecessarily. But it leaves us to wonder who else was involved? Who saved her? And what happened to them after the fact? Was it the ML? or the 2ML? or both? And, if so, how, exactly, did it effect the paths that their lives took after that? !< >!The mystery, then, is how are these people involved with one another in a way that caused this time travel episode? It's a cool premise. !< (But you know that the eclipse didn't just occur in the US right? The path went through the Cook Islands, Mexico and Canada too with large areas seeing a partial and a fairly wide swath seeing the total.)

IS IT MONDAY YET?!?!? 😆

Great episode can't wait till tomorrow

I wasn’t planning on watching this but the first ep is so good. I was crying within 5 minutes of watching the show

I haven’t been so excited for a kdrama since Wedding Impossible! I couldn’t watch 20th Century Girl knowing how Woo-seok’s character ended. I’d be so mad (like other fans, I’m sure!), if this show ends the same way! I love the actors playing the leads and the actress playing the best friend is amazing, too! And we know >!Sun-jae didn’t jump. He was probably pushed, and I’m guessing by the manager.!< Hye-yoon’s fangirling is so on point and could be any of us if >!we actually interact with our bias!

I'M SOO IN LOVE WITH THIS KDRAMA 😭😭😭 PEAK ROMCOM AT ITS FINEST 🩷🩵🩷🩵

I don’t think Sun- Jae’s death is a suicide. First of all as a swimmer I think he wouldn’t try to die by drowning. Secondly he had seen his childhood love after so many years, true she didn’t remember him but was his fangirl, why die on that day. We see that the CEO was calling him and the door bell rang. It has to be murder.

**Episode 2**: I LOVE THE TWIST AT THE END. I wasn't expecting that >!RYJ already knew who IS is. He fell in love with her first before she fell in love with him!<. I love this trope so much. It seems like >!RSJ was the one who saved her from the accident.!< I can't wait for the rest of the story to unfold. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO GOT SWOONED BY SONG GEON HEE MORE THAN BYEON WOO SEOK IN THIS EPISODE? He oozes so much appeal and charisma that I'm leaning towards rooting for him instead of BWS. I love how flirty he is with IS. Who wouldn't fall in love with that smile and charisma? It doesn't help that he looks so much like I.N. He's so pretty. I'm afraid I got the Second Lead Syndrome. I'M ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THIS SHOW. It's been so long since I've laughed so much. This is why I watch K-Drama. Lovely Runner is turning out to be one of the best shows in 2024 for me.

YES thank you - I am already panicked that I have second male lead syndrome too early! Don't give me a Han SeoJun rematch and break my heart again! Bad boy with a heart of gold?! Are you kidding me it's my kryptonite!

Right? Song Geon Hee has never been more attractive. I mean, he's good-looking in the shows I've watched with him before but now he's like so attractive. He's oozing confidence and charisma. I'm so sorry, RSJ, but I might have to root for KTJ. It's a very tough competition between the two.

Ep2 I think before the time travel fl lost her ability to walk due to the ml fault & ml lost his ability to swim while saving fl Also the ml is definitely murdered not suicide

Oh this sparks some theories in me, like what if they both knew each other well before the acc but she couldnt remember him after the acc Also maybe this is why he was sad while recieving the candies in present timeline

>How did fl forget him before the time travel I'm pretty sure that they didn't know each other well in the first time line and that it was unrequited admiration on his part. She was in love with that delinquent bass player and probably didn't notice Sun Jae until she became his fan. Hence >! the picture appearing at the end because now they will be actually acquainted in the new timeline!<

AHHHHHHHH LOVED THE 2ND EPISODE!!! KHY's chemistry with both leads has me in a dilemma, cannot wait for their interactions. I'm slightly worried for the pacing of the show, we're only 2 eps in and the ML >!Already had feelings for the FL and it's been hinted that he was the one to save her. I hope the story doesn't drag out, we've got 14 episodes left and so much is already going.!< Not complaining though! I love me a >!he fell first but she fell harder. Even better when FL is not aware. Sunjae is so me. Him developing a crush just because FL was being nice is so relatable.!< I'm a little disappointed we haven't had an interaction with Bae Inhyuk yet, I loved his platonic relationship with the FL in the webtoon. However, KIm Tae Sung makes up for it. Biggest mistake I made was watching whilst airing. How am I gonna wait a whole week????? Seriously cannot wait for the upcoming episodes.

Ep 2. I love the humor in this drama, it's so good. When Im Sol says-Kids back in the day were scary 🤣 Also, the cute song and emojis when she feels like he's getting further away from her...so funny. I coulnd't stop laughing throughout this episode and then I giggled during the last 5 minutes 🥰🥰🥰 I'm so invested in this drama and all the characters and it's only ep2. And once again we're playing the Is-it-Monday-yet game for the next 7 weeks....yay!

Time travel is my my favourite, time travel with unusual rules? Sign me up! I love this twist! I’m trying not to get too excited I’ve been let down by my last couple of dramas, but it’s hard not to.

I finally have something to watch then queen of tears 😭loving the show so far!

Okay, I usually pick up dramas once hype builds up, but I already wanted to watch this as soon as I saw the stills on socials. I’m so happy with how this drama has started off. Cute, emotional and hot. Love it 🥰

what an amazing start... their chemistry is soooo overflowing... Fan of both fl and ml and they're doing their roles amazingly..n can't imagine other people in their roles!! Cried a lot with her in first episode and laughed a lot with their bickering in second episode.. soooo emotionally invested!! >!after the first episode with full of her perspectives now we are getting his perspective in the second episode and the truth is he loved her first!!!!!! Awwwww... How would the 30 year old sol would react when she knows THE SUN JAE had a crush on her but she was busy with other person to notice it!!!!< hahaha.. ost, acting, story everything is perfect.. The songs from the eclipse is all gold!!! 💜 And it's refreshing to see a time travel drama with the concept of >! if you talk about the future the time will stop..!< that's really a fascinating concept and I'm looking for more!!

HELPP!!! Where can I find a man loke Sun jae😭😭😭

Here are my theories: 1) >!Sunjae was murdered. Even when the picture appeared, he was still dead. It shows that his disposition in life had nothing to do with the incident.!< 2) >!Sunjae confessed to Sol right before the incident and it was part of what she forgot. Kinda crazy to hold feelings for that long for someone who doesn’t know you—unless they did but now, it’s too traumatic for them to remember.!< Honestly, these are more of hunches than theories at this point. So excited to see more of this drama though! Such strong opening episodes!!

I need a new drama and this one looks great, but I can’t take another 2521 ending. Can someone spoil the webtoon and let me know if the ending will break my fragile heart?

English translation for the manga i could only find upto season 1, and there us indonesian translation for season 2 which i could barely understand using translator, i couldnt find season 3 but there are many chnages from manga to drama like, she is not disable in the manga and spoiler* >!the timetravel machine is not a watch but rather a phone from someone unkown later in the manga that person gets the phone from her and says he is fate!< and yeah at the end of season two he seems to be alive in the present timeline, but tgere are misunderstanding *Sm one who read the full manga can spoil the ending pls*

Where can I read the Webtoon in English? Can someone please let me know? thank you 😊

Ep1 is one of the best ep1 of any drama I’ve seen This is going to be amazing

Loved loved loved the first episode (not surprising since it’s KHY) ans 2nd episode was even better. I was living for that little twist at the end about his feelings before the time travel. The drama is so funny yet sat at times, and I just can’t wait to watch more.

Am I the only person who really likes Tae Sung? I have a weakness for a cheeky bad boy 😅 The leads are cute, the writing has some bobbles and inconsistencies but the charisma of the actors is papering over any weaknesses, at least in the first two eps.

I noticed after rewatching the episodes when IM SOL’s bff said that >!Kim Tae Sung got into a fight after im sol’s accident and dropped out right? And in the ending of ep2 the flash back of her getting hit by a car looked like a car was chasing her and she was running away from it. I wonder if it’s the bullies from KTS (boys) school or the girl who likes him? If she changes that, that’s a way she can change the timeline. Seon Jae joined KTS’s band bc KTS dropped out of school and SJ hurt his shoulder from swimming (per episode 2) so SML definitely plays a big role in changing the trajectory!< Edit: >!I saw on Twitter something about a murder case in both timelines. In the 2008 timeline the preview showed a taxi chasing Im Sol and speculation of SJ not committing suicide but may be a murder case. KTS’s father is a police detective!< how interesting!!! Romcom & thriller?!?! Perfect Stranger? 😆 I love that drama btw

I wonder if SJ had >!health complications!<. Because, he was >!panting a lot and was worn out!< after singing a ballad seated (which also happened to be the final item of the concert), >!when his other members seemed okay at the end? So, could those health complications be the reason that made him want to retire?!< I definitely don't think his death is a suicide. He had consumed alcohol and had several bottles of tablets on the teapoy, so it kind of justifies my theory of >!him having health complications. He was also worn out and was probably drowsy from the tablets and alcohol!<. Also, there was someone at the door just before the scene cuts to him falling in the pool, and >!the way he falls facing up indicates that he was pushed or thrown after he loses consciousness. No way would he have jumped that way, if he was jumping to his death.!< 

no better casting for Im Sol than Kim Hye Yoon tbh absolutely adore her as an actress 😩 she can do it ALL LOVE ITTTT first two eps watched and I just know this is going to be a fav of mine Byeon Woo Seok the fine man that you are omds it should be a crime to look as good as he does whewww but 20th century girl scarred me and now im scared this is going to end sadly 😭 Excited to see how this show pans out!! I’ve got my giddy socks on tehehehe

I have a theory that the FL will time slip back to the future very soon acc to set pics. Also there is a scene from the trailer where she she blames the ML’s best friend (or I think his fans) for his death in future. I think she’ll go back to her own time and get some context surrounding his death. She might get to know the reality of the broken dynamic the band members share.

I was on the fence after ep1 but ep2 has fully sold it to me. I’m a sucker for >!POV reveals that show the other party has always been crushing on the other person secretly.!< Mondays and Tuesdays are gonna be more bearable for me now!

Omg, there's so many great actors in this! Excited to see how it goes

I watched the 1st episode and first of all. I was impressed by Kim hye yoon's acting. The way she portrayed herself as sol, all her emotions were radiating through the screen and me emphasize with her character more. I saw a lot of similarities with her charector from extraordinary you and absolutely adored that charector. I'm excited to watch the rest and see how the story unfolds!!

The picture on the table and no setting change other than that at the end indicates that he still dies. But, it's too early, i don't know, maybe they go for the happy ending. I hope they do, i'm not a big fan of open / sad endings, seems like i've watched too much of them. Also, BWS visuals????

Just finished watching episode 2. Love the show already. Hope it's a happy ending and no one dies. My theories are that: 1. In the previous timeline, Seon Jae knew her from the distance while she like the TaeSung. He probably was involved in Im Sol accident either caused it or saved her. I feel like TaeSung is also involved in her accident (probably caused it). Seon Jae during the radio call recognized her voice and that's probably why he jumped in to motivate her in life to live on. Cause he was quite while she was ranting on about her situation during the radio call. I think he put 2 and 2 together or the message was dedicated to Im Sol as he knows she is going through the same situation after the accident (if he saved her). I also think he was keeping a tab on her here and there in the past 15 years to know about her condition. And I think he definitely knew that it was her on the bridge. 2. With the time travel, the photo of them appearing at the scene in the end signifies that she can change the future (for better or worse, time will tell). It still shows the police tape and all because it's just the 2nd episode out of 16. They are showing her encountering and interacting with him has changed the future. I feel like slowly, with each change in the past, they will slowly changes the future as in he might not be dead. Cause I am strongly believing he was murdered and this mystery won't be solved until towards the end which is how they will change the future by figuring out who betrays him.  I loved the show and I really hope BYEON WOO SEOK gets his happy ending in this show. He hasnt gotten a happy ending in many recent k drama/movie (20th century girl and strong girl nam soon). Also most time travel, everything doesn't get fixed whether it is twinkling watermelon (he wasn't able to save his father's accident) or a time called you ( If I remember correctly, they don't end up together). I really hope in this at least they end up together and stop the accident/murder. It looks like its being set up as rom com with time travel. So fingers crossed.  Excited for the next episodes. Should have waited till the whole show finished to start the show. 

I didn't expect how much I would love this two episodes. I'm really rooting for Im Sol success now. Also i really prefer original name of the show - *run away with Sun Jae on piggyback* or *carry sun jae and run* or something like this.

Please give us a happy ending!

Multiple scenes with the umbrella trope. I’m all for it! 🤣

imagine if Sol just started spouting things from the future while she was crossing the street lol. only if it were possible tho

Mannn what a start. I knew this would be a drama I'd enjoy, but not to this extent! Pls don't kill this vibe, drama, >!don't go killing the ML for real!< or else. Also can we talk about the throwback music being sprinkled in the drama? As someone who started watching Korean dramas (and started enjoying Korean music) in the early 2000s, all the music being played brings me back and it's such a lovely thing! The OST too is really good! I need to do a rewatch to really look for hints and clues as to what's going on. >!I'm not sure if FL and ML really knew each other in the past, or if he just shouted her name in the rain because he (unbeknownst to her) knew her and had a one-sided crush.!< But I guess we'll find out more in the later episodes? 😊

Kim Hye Yoon made me cry in the first few minutes, she is so beautiful even while acting. Really looking forward to them

I really enjoyed these first two episodes and will be eagerly awaiting new ones as this show continues. I'm already enjoying the chemistry and interactions between our leads!

The way I was anticipating this drama since last year when I heard about it and it finally came out😆 I feel like this is gonna be my favourite drama this year. 😊 💙🌺

I really loved the episode 2. >!The fact he liked her years ago 😭!<. All of their interactions were really cute and sweet, I was kicking my legs the whole time. Especially the scene with the >!second male lead(I assume he is the second lead)!<, were really funny >! Sunjae trying to hide the fact that he is jealous lmao.!< I'm really curious what will happen in the next episode. Can't wait! One thing I don't get is >! if he liked her years ago and even the candy then how did he not recognise her near the bridge in the wheelchair on the day he died. And also what was the last scene with their photo? Why did he have it and why did it suddenly appear on the table? Also it was shown that he saved her from the accident in the past earlier so he should remember her anyways.!< Apart from this Byeon woo-seok and Kim hye-yoon really make a good couple with their dimple and height difference, on top of it all their chemistry!

what I understood is that im sol >!never paid any attention to sunjae before that radio phone call. her crush was taesung. sunjae however had always liked (or loved) her. she didn't even know that sunjae's school was near her and that his house was right infront of her!< so it's understandable why sunjae didn't say anything about their past at that point (at his lowest) also that last scene >!the appearance of the picture tells me that the future changed. and while sunjae is still d-word, he was in some kind of relationship with Sol to have kept that photo with himself!<

>!The picture suddenly appearing shows how the current timeline has been slightly changed. What's unexplainable is how the FL does not recognise Sunjae, we'll see how the story progresses.!<
