During a recent live broadcast, actress Park Bo-young mentioned the drama “Lovely Runner”after coming across a comment about it. She admitted to not having watched it, fearing it may get her into trouble.

Despite the warnings from people around me that watching the drama would distract me from my work, I was determined to watch it. Numerous people had recommended it to me and I was eager to see it for myself. However, my makeup artists noticed that I had not yet seen it and encouraged me to watch it immediately. Unfortunately, I cannot do so at the moment because I must focus on learning my script for ‘Lovely Runner’.

Despite starting with a viewership of only 3.1% for its first episode on April 8th and dropping to 2.7% for episode 2, tvN’s Mon-Tue drama “Lovely Runner”is gaining popularity. Thanks to word of mouth, the drama’s rating has started to climb again and is now sparking intense conversations and discussions online, despite its initially low viewership.

Furthermore, during the first week of May, the drama exceeded “Queen of Tears”and secured the top spot in Good Data Corporation’s TV-OTT Drama Popularity Rankings. Its popularity saw a significant increase of 23% compared to the previous week. Notably, the main actors, Byun Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon, claimed the first and second positions on the popularity chart for the cast of TV-OTT dramas.

Despite the drama’s popularity, Byun Woo-seok, also known as “Ryu Sun-jae”, is actively engaging in promotional activities including joining the communication community Weverse, hosting a fanmeeting, and making appearances on entertainment shows. In contrast, Kim Hye-yoon’s agency has faced criticism from fans for not promoting the actress enough.

Additionally, “Lovely Runner”is a time-travel love story about Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) who travels back to 2008 to rescue her beloved celebrity Ryu Seon-jae (Byun Woo-seok) after his untimely passing. Adapted from Kim Bbang’s web novel “Tomorrow’s Best”, this series airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
