Lovely Runner follows the story of a diehard fangirl, Lim Sol, who is mysteriously transported back to her high school days with the mission to save her favourite idol, Ryu Seon-jae, from an untimely death. The show stars Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon in the lead roles, with supporting performances by Song Geon-hee, Lee Seung-hyub and others.
The final episode of the Kdrama Lovely Runner has finally aired, bringing a heartwarming conclusion to the emotional journey of Ryu Seon-jae and Lim Sol. Throughout the series, viewers have endured the pain of Sun-jae's repeated tragic deaths. However, in this last episode, all that anguish is replaced with joy as our favourite couple spends cherished moments together, their happiness palpable.
In a symbolic and emotional scene, Lim Sol's grandmother throws the watch into a water body that enabled Sol to time travel, marking the end of her tumultuous journey through time and space. This act signifies a closure to the time travel element that drove the narrative and highlights the importance of living in the present.
The show's antagonist, Kim Young Soo, meets his end in a poetic twist of fate. He is hit by a truck and falls into the river, mirroring Seon Jae's previous death. This climactic moment is brought about by Kim Tae-sung, the unsung hero who, despite his own heartbreak, ensures the safety and happiness of the protagonists.
