Hahaha, this is going to generate some debate but oh wells, it’s still one point of reference. U-Next the largest streaming platform in Japan is declaring Lovely Runner the number 1 most popular Hallyu K-drama in the first half of 2024. I have no doubt LR is mega popular in Japan and if it wasn’t for the presence of Queen … Continue reading →
For a very specialized bank that originated for the agricultural sector, NH Bank (Nonghyub Bank) is a surprising hypebeast when it comes to selecting spokespersons. Earlier this year after Han So Hee got into a love train scandal with Ryu Jun Yeon and Hyeri, she lost a few endorsements and one of them was NB Bank. The Bank ended its endorsement deal with … Continue reading →
Once again, if Byun Woo Seok‘s agency is orchestrating these articles please stop. It’s turning his incredible rise thanks to Lovely Runner into overkill.

There is a solid group of K-models turned actors that Byun Woo Seok is joining but as the latest he’s got a chance to be the greatest in terms of his breakout leverage. To name a few, there is Kim Woo Bin, Nam Joo Hyuk, Kim Young Kwang, Lee Soo Hyuk, and more, and right now I can’t think of … Continue reading →
This is the reality whether we think it fair or not, and ultimately dramas and movies and the stars in them are all commodities. The business is the end product. Lovely Runner has wrapped its airing and has already sold overseas licensing rights to broadcast in various countries network channels, this happens to a few K-dramas a year that get … Continue reading →
Hahaha, omg sorry but this article is starting to veer into absurd hyperbole territory. It’s been all of two months since Lovely Runner aired and finished and male lead Byun Woo Seok is legit the breakout star of the drama and having the biggest career moment of his life. All great! He’s off right now for his sold out June … Continue reading →
This is legit a woah and I hope he’s not peaking too fast moment for K-actor Byun Woo Seok. He’s been on a two month tear since tvN drama Lovely Runner premiered and it just wrapped up last week which means he’s now on post-drama activities all lined up, including sold out fan meetings and other ancillary promos. It’s no … Continue reading →
What a cute set of pictures of two cuties to bring a smile to the face heading into the weekend. On May 31st, Hyeri had Byun Woo Seok on her Youtube show and afterwards shared three pics with him. The two worked together and are friends from the K-drama Moonshine and of course Byun Woo Seok is currently the hottest … Continue reading →

Lol, I like Byun Woo Seok and I love him getting his breakout thanks to Lovely Runner, but this is the kind of hype article that feels way too early to be earned and may set him up with too high of expectations for his next project(s). A K-ent article today is calling Byun Woo Seok’s stratospheric speed and height … Continue reading →
It’s with a grateful heart that I can report it’s safe to finally binge Lovely Runner if you haven’t started. Lol, I know there is fear of this drama going sideways or even off a cliff and the finale today confirmed it’s a lovely and happy ending all around. Huzzah to that, and to tvN for getting it’s second buzziest … Continue reading →
It’s that time wuri fans of Lovely Runner. That hurts so good time when you can’t wait to see how your favorite drama ends but so sad it’s over after that without any more excitement in the week-to-week waits. The little drama that could hit a new ratings high of 5.297% in episode 15, the first time it broke 5% … Continue reading →
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen K-dramas release ancillary merch, that used to be so de rigueur during the era of probably 2008-2014, with super popular with the young fans drama producing DVD sets plus extra commentary, official OST CDs and maybe even fan concerts, and script books with annotations.
