If you're a fan of great K-dramas (or Korean entertainment and culture as a whole), odds are you've heard of Lovely Runner. The tvN series, which stars Kim Hye-yoon and Byeon Woo-seok, is one of the most highly-anticipated Korean series of 2024 so far, with millions of international fans falling for its cast and heart-warming time-travel romance. The 16-episode drama follows Im Sol (Kim), a super-fan of Ryu Sun-jae, a K-pop idol who unexpectedly dies. When Sol gets a chance to go back in time to when the pair were high school students, she becomes determined to save Sun-jae's life no matter what.
Since Lovely Runner first aired from April 8 to May 28, 2024, the romantic K-drama has become a worldwide phenomenon, prompting countless fan-edits, bestselling merch, and a Billboard chart debut for one of the show's official songs. Recently, Netflix announced that the acclaimed series would be released on the world's largest streaming service, introducing even more viewers to Sol and Sun-jae's love story. However, Netflix subscribers in the U.S. may have to wait longer to see Lovely Runner on the platform.
