Personal Impressions
Review of 'Lovely Runner'
‘Lovely Runner’ is a time-travel romance that follows one couple through multiple timescapes. This drama has heart and personality plus, which has made it a fan favorite this year. The love story is well-told and the leads’ chemistry was swoon-worthy. Of course, it isn’t perfect. In my opinion, the series could have been shorter, as I felt the story wandered a bit aimlessly in the middle. And honestly the time loop rules were all over the place and full of holes.
But none of that seemed to matter, because the weaving of time jumps is so interesting and the story is absolutely engaging. If you enjoy whimsical fantasy love stories, this one is a delight to watch. I give ‘Lovely Runner’ a 10 out of 10 ramen.
