Great pacing and chemistry

If you are debating whether you should watch this drama or not, it's better to just start watching the first episode, then decide whether you'd like to continue or not. And just a piece of advice, if you don't like the actress/actor playing the main characters, then you might wanna double or even triple think about watching this drama. Because if you already dislike the actor/actress, you'll just find everything that they do (including their acting) annoying.

Now here's to everything that I love about this drama:

OST - Honestly there's no skip with this one. Everything's great - the lyrics and the melody. One of reasons why I fell in love with this drama.

Cast - We're not going to fight who carried the show here. They all did! No one really fell short in terms of acting. The chemistry between Hyeyoon and Wooseok - amazing. The chemistry between their friends and families - amazing. They're all funny!

Plot - Well, I wouldn't really call it a masterpiece. So if you are looking for something with an award-winning masterpiece, it's not here. Also, if you are someone who overanalyzes everything in a story, I don't think this drama is for you.

But the plot is decent, okay? Cliche? Yes. But here's the thing about cliche, it still takes great writing in order for it to be enjoyable up until the last episode. As for the storyline, I promise you'll understand it if you don't overthink it so much.

Just one thing that I'd really like to commend the writer and director for is the pacing of the story. It has great pacing. Usual kdrama would get boring around episode 8, it'll pick up the pace around episode 13 and 14, and then that's it. The ending is either meh or good.

But Lovely Runner has no boring episode. I don't even think that there are filler scenes in this drama. 60 mins for one episode wasn't even enough. The ending was so LOVELY. I even want more of it, but you know too much of everything is really bad.

Anyway, the success of Lovely Runner is well-deserved. It's one of the best romcom I've ever watched. No wonder why this drama helped a lot of people from their slump.

One of my favorites

I came across this drama in Netflix trying to find something to watch and I'm glad I watched it because this is such a gem. Guess I relate so much with all the three main female characters as I'm at that age where I struggle about my career, financials, relationships.

For people who likes reading books, or drama where the overall vibes is around books or characters who likes to read/write, this is the first drama that I always recommend. I love all the literary pieces mentioned in this drama. I wish I could read them all. There were so much to learn. I had a lot of realizations that helped me through life. A lot of nice quotes surrounding the drama. One of my faves that has always stuck to my heart. “Just because you lived through yesterday doesn't mean you know everything about today.” - Jiho. And I live by that.

The ending could've been better, but the overall premise and concept of the story was wonderful. The narration was beautiful. Watching it feels like I'm watching a play. Wish I could watch this again for the first time!

One of my comfort dramas

Maybe a little bit bias because this is one of my comfort dramas, but if you are someone who watch k-drama to sort of just unwind, you might enjoy this one. Honestly think this is one of the best feel good dramas. It's heartwarming, adorable and healing. Sure there will be moments that you'd cry or feel sad, but there would be much more moments where you'll smile, feel touched and happy. (and healed? hahaha)

I just finished re-watching it now so I feel empty again.

Also if you are a fan of Shin Hye Sun, you might enjoy this one. She's such a great actress!
