A must watch!
Some people put low ratings on this Taiwan Drama because they get confused because of the lack of knowledge of time traveling or they just watched a few episodes and stopped because they didn't understand what's happening (tbh I was confused at first too). But let me tell you, me as a high core fan of time traveling, this drama exceeding my expectations of what was going to happen next. So if you are confused about what is happening watch until the end it explains everything throughout each episode you see. And when you reach the final episode and you somehow think it's over, well let me tell you it's still not over yet until the end (and there is even a bonus ending that satisfied me and made me accept the ending.)With all that said if you are interested in time-traveling, a first lead romance that will make you cry almost every episode (I personally cried every single episode.) [p.s if you think it the romance can't get any more beautiful and emotional you are definitely wrong.], a second lead chance of a romance with the one he loves (like if there is a single drama that I have watched were there is no one with a second lead syndrome well this is the one and this doesn't contain a first lead syndrome either), the most beautiful ost's, crime-solving, episodes that will exceed your expectations dramatically, unexpected twists, youth, heartbreak, and healing, say no more and watch this right NOW!
And have I mentioned yet that it has one of the most beautiful romances? Oh, sorry, it's just that reading the title again brings me into tears and gives me a hint of nostalgia T^T

Love Alarm (좋아하면 울리는)
"Love Alarm" is a Korean drama and it’s ideal for anyone who likes to watch shows with technology, good looking cast members and a lot of romance. This is one of those shows that you can easily fall into binge-watching, so I've warned you in advance that it can be addictive. It has just the right amount of realism, science fiction and fantasy to be somewhat believable, and highly entertaining.Based on the webtoon by Chon Kye-young, Love Alarm tells the story of three young people who come of age when the world changing app called Love Alarm is released. The app, if turned on, allows users to know who within a 10 meter radius has romantic feelings for them. Because the app is synced with the user's heart, there's no way to lie, which causes some trouble when two childhood friends - model Hwang Sun-oh (Song Kang) and his housekeeper's son Lee Hye-yeong (Jung Ga-ram) - both fall for the same girl, Kim Jojo (Kim So-hyun).
Actually "Love Alarm" is unique for Netflix. It’s their very first Korean original series and it’s offered in a variety of languages. If you’re an English speaker you can watch it English or it’s cool to watch it in Korean and use the option for English subtitles. Each episode of the show lasts for an hour and there are eight per season. The show focuses upon the app that gives the series its name. Actually there you can appreciate the fact that you can visit the "Love Alarm" attractions if you’re ever in Seoul. That’s how popular the series has become. The characters in "Love Alarm" will move you to the point of feeling intense emotions.
I'm not going to give away any secrets here, but this is one of the things that fans of the series love. It’s riveting and addictive and you can’t wait to get to the next episode so you can find out. "Love Alarm" is a very different kind of series and if you’re into Korean drama, this may be right up your alley. If you’re looking for something new to fill the void left by the hiatus of your favorite television series, and you like what you’ve heard about "Love Alarm" so far, these are the reasons why you might want to give it a shot.
P.s. I'm in Team Hwang Sun-oh!!! ^-^

This review may contain spoilers
was okey-ish at the start but at the end it was just a no for me..
First of all the two main leads don't have any chemistry at all for me.. I couldn't even feel it in the last scene when they kissed. It would have been better if she didn't end up with anyone. And just stayed as friends or ended up with the other guy that is in a kpop group yk.. they had at least some chemistry bc it would have been the enemy to lovers trope (which I love btw). But either way I wish I had just not watched this at all.........................................,.......................

THE BEST K-DRAMA EVER!! ☀️✨
Wow! I can't believe that was the ending of such an amazing drama. The chemistry between the characters was so sweet and overflowing, I just want to eat them up their are so cute, words can't literally describe how much I love them. Watching this drama was an emotional rollercoaster for me. One moment I was crying, the next laughing, then swooning over the actors, and then shocked and crying again. Despite being a mess of emotions, I enjoyed every second of it. This is now my top favorite drama☀️.As a long-time fan of Hyeyoon since "Extraordinary You" and Wooseok from "Record of Youth", I was excited to hear that they were cast together. My anticipation grew so much that I even read the webtoon "Tomorrow's #1", which I thoroughly enjoyed. I watched as the title changed from "Time to Walk Through Memory" to "Carry Sunjae and Run", and every time they attended award shows to promote the drama or posted teaser photos, I constantly checked for updates and eagerly awaited the premiere. Like many others, I didn't anticipate its immense popularity. Seeing them reach this level of success feels incredibly rewarding and I am truly proud of their achievements. They say opportunity comes to those who are ready, and they truly deserve this success!!
The anticipation for each episode was like no other show, except maybe “Queen of Tears” and “Twinkling Watermelon”. But even then, I was more excited for this one. The chemistry between Sunjae and Im Sol is incredibly insane, it got me kicking my feet and punching my pillow. Their journey from sweet first love moments to intense, angsty scenes was incredibly portrayed, and their love story is so heart-wrenching that it transcends every time line. Kudos to the actors for executing all these shifts flawlessly🦋✨. Ugh, and the comedy aspect of this drama, I was laughing so hard lol. Whether it was Im Sol embarrassing herself in front of Sunjae, Sunjae's peak loser moments (which was my favorite), Sunjae’s dad and Im Sol’s mom moments, Inhyuk being stuck in between the 2 leads, or the interactions between the other characters, they made me laugh with tears🤣.
The cinematography was breathtaking. Each scene made my heart flutter or drew me deeper into the drama, especially when paired with the beautiful OST’s and BGM. I appreciate the hard work and attention to detail from everyone involved in making these captivating scenes possible, including the director, writers, Hair/makeup artists, staff and everyone else that was involved. Thank you for your tireless work and attention to detail you made this all happen, I really appreciate you guys. THANK YOU LOVELY RUNNER TEAM AND CAST 🫶🏻.
Oh my gosshh!! Don't even get me started with the OST’s every single one was so emotional that made me cry a river or enjoyable to listen to. A shout-out to the composers and musicians who made these beautiful pieces. And the Original classic timeless BGM where so good too. My top favorite songs right now have to be “Sudden Shower”, “I Think I Did” (Original and Cover), “I’ll Be There”, “Star” (both ver.), “A Day”, “Spring Now”, and “Run Run”🎶💽✨.
Kim Hyeyoon and Byeon Wooseok deserve an award for their impressive performances. Watching the behind-the-scenes and interviews, I saw how hard they worked in the cold weather, pouring out their emotions to create beautiful scenes every day for 10 months. I'm glad they had each other for support and had fun while filming. I hope they maintain their wonderful friendship, and I look forward to seeing more of their work in the future💗☀️✨.
