Currently airing, the South Korean TV series Lovely Runner stars Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon. It is based on the web novel 'Tomorrow's Best,' which was also adapted into a webtoon by illustrator Doong Doong. Despite airing on weekdays, Lovely Runner is experiencing a steady rise in popularity each week. With the conclusion of tvN's weekend hit series Queen of Tears, which held onto its top position for six consecutive weeks as the most popular ongoing K-drama, surpassing its own record of five consecutive weeks, there's now even more opportunity to appreciate the captivating charm of this time-travel drama series, which is resonating strongly with audiences worldwide at the moment.
Lovely Runner follows Im Sol, an ardent fan of idol Ryu Sun-jae. Sol, once a promising film director whose dreams were shattered by a crippling accident, finds solace in Sun-jae's music. However, tragedy strikes again when Sun-jae dies in a tragic accident, leaving Sol devastated. Fate takes an unexpected turn when Sol wakes up in a classroom 15 years in the past, before both of their accidents. Viewing this as a divine opportunity, Sol resolves to alter their destinies for the better.
