Lovely Runner star Byeon Woo-Seok recently delighted fans by sharing his favourite Kdramas during a live chat on Weverse. The 33-year-old actor, who shot to fame with the 2024 hit drama, left fans intrigued with his recommendations, which showcased his preference for emotionally intense stories.
When asked about the shows that keep him hooked, Byeon named My Dearest and Twenty-Five Twenty-One. Fans were quick to draw parallels between his choices and his own projects, such as Lovely Runner and the film 20th Century Girl, both of which had strong emotional undertones. Many noted that these stories often come with bittersweet or tear-jerking endings, a trend they hope Byeon will break in his upcoming dramas.
Byeon’s recommendations sparked discussions among fans, especially about Twenty-Five Twenty-One, which is known for its heart-wrenching conclusion. One fan humorously pleaded on social media, “Byeon Woo-Seok, don’t you dare give us another sad ending in your next show. We need a happy ending this time!” Another fan shared their mixed feelings, saying, “I still can’t get over the emotional rollercoaster of Twenty-Five Twenty-One, but it’s one of the best dramas I’ve watched.”
