Lovely Runner
Straight off Strong Girl Namsoon, we reunite with our beloved heartthrob, Byeon Woo Seok, in My Lovely Runner. This latest fantasy rom-com also stars the gorgeous and talented Kim Hye-hoon, who plays the role of Im Sol. Im Sol time travels back 15 years to save her favourite celebrity, Ryu Sung Jae.
Ryu Sung Jae is one of the most popular celebrities on top of the game. However, it is not all glitz and glamour; he is exhausted. Can Im Sol save his fate by travelling to the past in time to change the trajectories of their lives?
Lovely Runner Episode 5 [Spoilers] – What to expect?
Now that Im Sol’s memories have started returning, she feels more indebted to Sung-jae and is more focused than ever on her mission to save him. According to the trailer for this episode, she and Sung-jae are getting closer. She believes she was sent back to change Sung-jae’s fate and wants to enjoy every minute of it.
By the looks of it, she and Sung-jae spend the day together, and they keep giving each other lovey-dovey glances. We don’t know if Im Geum is trying to be a protective brother by confronting Sung-jae, but we are excited to see how this conversation goes.
At the same time, the competition and jealousy between Sung-jae and Tae-sung escalate. We don’t blame them; any man would be lucky to win Im Sol’s heart. Tae-sung may have asked Im Sol to be his girlfriend for the wrong reasons, but his feelings have started to change. Will Im Sol be hurt when she learns why he proposed to her? On the other hand, will Sung-jae finally tell Im Sol about their kiss? Next week can’t come sooner as the show keeps dropping twists and turns, leaving us with so many theories. What are your theories so far?

Have you seen the preview for episode 1? What are your predictions for this one? Let us know in the comments below!
Hi @FoodAndFlowers. You are definitely right.Tae-sung is craving warmth.His family situation is sad. As much as I want Im Sol to save Sung-jae, I hope she can save him, Maybe stop him from being expelled. I am looking forward to seeing Tae-sung’s story. You are also right, watching business proposal is a rite of passage for kdrama lovers. Same thing with everyone atleast watching one Lee Minho series. Looking forward to your thoughts after watching episode 5.
Dear , I agree with your view that Tae-Sung should date someone else. Cuz , at the end of the end….I absolutely adore him and love him….but ….but ….but….I feel he likes the Im Sol of the future , the one who is far more matured and you know…sort of gives him the motherly love he expects from the world , cuz on the inside I do feel he yearns warmth. And strangely every lead character yearns for something sort of a warm feeling .
And regarding Business Proposal, Yes I have. It’s like a beginner thing I guess. To watch business proposal.
@FoodAndFlowers thank you so much for your sweet comment. It is a great way to start my week. I also love this show so much and I find it interesting to read everyone’s theories. I agree with you that Hyun-joo and Im-Geum are end goals. I like Tae-sung but I want him to date someone else. Like you, I desperately want Sung-jae to live because he was most likely murdered. I don’t want Im Sol to relive the accident again. However, I am worried about how all these change the future. Lastly,have you watched Business Proposal ?
First and foremost , dear author, thankyou so much. You don’t even realise how much your updates save me from everyday chaos. I love to read your summaries. I keep updated to k-dramas through your summaries 😅 As I am still a fresh kdrama lover, I decide whether to watch or not based on what you think.
And now to the show – I love this show so much that my brain has began to make a novel of it’s own : 😶
I have some crazy to craziest theories now –
1. If Im Sol stops Sun-jae from joining the band , then I feel Tae Sung will take his spot and in turn , as in as some events cannot be changed , she realises that Tae-Sung might die ( and I don’t want thaaaattttt – the Tae-Sung character is actually pretty good).
2. I do feel like most that the CEO is not what he projects – in that case I feel the whole timeline is gonna be different and I do hope Im-Sol doesn’t undergo the accident.
3. Yeah…this one is needed. I feel Im-geum’s and Hyun-joo are gonna get married – fine I said it. It’s obvious isn’t it.
4. And I don’t know why I feel there would be another time jump and already there would be significant changes .
I wanna see Tae-Sung in the future too😶 I want the jealous Sun-Jae of future.
Okay, for anyone reading this – I’m not mad , I’m just curious and maybe a bit bored.
Hi Sushi. Your theory makes sense but what if they add a twist and it turns out to be In-hyuk?
I think that bloody manager of his killed him because a dead celebrity can make him a lot of money than the one who quits. I think poor ryu sun jae wanted to live to have a life with im sol 😭😢
Hi Jemimah. I think your intuition is right. Have you read the webtoon?
After watching episode four am now convinced that sung jae was murdered,I don’t think he committed suicide, there’s something about that night there was someone ringing the doorbell how come they didn’t show us the person who was at the door that night,I think sung jae was pushed 🤔
