recommended watch: lovely runner

kdrama based on a webtoon: tomorrow best

🎬plot:

To put it simply... it is a time slip romance story about an avid fan named Im Sol (female lead) going back in time to save her favourite idol Ryu Seon Jae (male lead) from dying. It sounds very straightforward... but it's not... at least not in the way you think...

💭my review, why watch?

I feel that this is an underrated drama that everyone should watch! It has everything I love in shows: romance; comedy; scenes that tugs at my heartstrings; a tinge of mystery and suspense; a great sound track; good & not so typical plot; funny side-characters; and a family & friend story subplot.

The cast and characters were all great and talented! The leads who play Im Sol (Kim Hye Yoon) & Seon Jae (Byeon Woo Seok) ❤️ were perfectly casted! Their cuteness, sadness, and exaggerated scenes were all just right and enjoyable to watch. They were charming, and you can't help but feel for their characters. Their presence on screen just made me keep wanting more. The family members and best friends were funny and made the drama more meaningful. The second male lead, Tae Sung (Kim Geon Hee), had a personality and was not just on screen to be a semi-love interest. He was also not pitiful or cringe like some second male leads.

It is, in my opinion, a beautifully shot drama accompanied by top-tier sound tracks. The cinematography enhanced the emotional intensity felt through the story. The drama made me feel all kinds of emotions and brought a nostalgic feeling I got from the early kdrama eras. I laughed at its comedic scenes. Felt heartache and sadness wash over me through the sacrifices the characters made. Felt the joy and tingling feels in the romantic scenes. There were very few wasted scenes. Everything had a purpose. The soundtracks ✨ are now on my 2024 Spotify playlist ☺️ I am slightly addicted and theyare on constant repeat these few days... like really... go listen to Spring Snow, Sudden Shower, A Day... the feels...

Lovely Runner is a hidden gem 💎 and one of my best watched dramas this year so far, even above Queen of Tears & Doctor Slump for me...

If you haven't watched this... please do... support the show cause from the news it wasn't easy for the project to finish as well.

Highly recommended!
