Lovely Runner

Writen by ABTR on May 31, 2024

**I'm sitting here with a smile on my face crying tears of joy. I feel like a crazy person.** The story, the acting, the _chemistry_. Never have I gotten as invested in a k-drama as I did with this one. Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Joon were absolute perfection and a joy to watch together. The story was lighthearted and cute, full of adorable moments and smiles, but when the emotional moments came, they hit hard. I loved every second of it, including all the small side stories of the secondary characters. Every last detail was perfect. I'd thought Park Gyu Young and Cha Eun Woo were super cute in _A good day to be a dog_, but nah. Same with Jun Ho being the most adorable he-falls-first male lead ever. Or CLOY having a top-tier romance story. This show left them in the dust. Sonagi was a lovely song and so personal to Seon Jae and poignant to the story, and I love that there were scenes of live-played music. That may seem like an insignificant detail, but it's so unusual in k-dramas (even in the ones with idols playing the leads) and was so wonderfully unexpected and exciting. This drama will stay with me for years to come and surely bring a smile to my face whenever I think back on it. Someone get me a yellow umbrella so I can daydream about fated love the next time it rains! 💛💛
