It’s with a grateful heart that I can report it’s safe to finally binge Lovely Runner if you haven’t started.

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. NGL, I have some oldies but goodies in my closet … Continue reading →
So this idea feels like a fan service mixed with an attempt to wring just a little bit more money out of a smallish film. Reportedly the production company of the K-movie remake of Soulmate, the award winning C-movie of the same name, is planning to re-release of the 2023 film in theaters. The reason is of course the sudden … Continue reading →
The buzz meter for Byun Woo Seok will likely peter out from current stratospheric levels after his drama Lovely Runner concludes next week. But he is striking while the iron is hot for sure and this week he will guest in the popular variety show Yoo Quiz on the Block. Doing a show like this is very crucial to show … Continue reading →
After the whirlwind March and April in K-drama land where Queen of Tears dominated, May has quieted down with just one buzzy drama. It remains Lovely Runner with Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok, nothing else in recent weeks has gotten either ratings or buzz not Atypical Family, The Midnight Romance in Hagwon, or Chief Detective 1958. All this … Continue reading →
Oh this should make fans of tvN Mon-Tues romance and time-travel drama Lovely Runner so so happy. The leads Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok have filmed their guest appearance on the show Salon Drip together and the episode will air the day before the finale episode of LR. This is the type of promo a popular show with … Continue reading →
It’s totally a black mirror version of fact meets fiction with Byun Woo Seok‘s breakout in Lovely Runner. I watched it all with Park Bo Gum‘s male lead character in Record of Youth‘s narrative so it’s even cuter that it’s happened to Byun Woo Seok in RL since in the drama his character ended up getting the short end of … Continue reading →
The tvN Mon-Tues drama Lovely Runner has reached the 2/3rd point of its airing, finishing episode 10 as of this week. The drama started off with 3.073%Â ratings and has gone up to 4% in the last 4 episodes with the highest at 4.759%.

So while I have been on a Queen of Tears tear for the last few weeks, the recent arrival of another new tvN drama may be worth picking up now both to join the hype train and to add more dramas to watch during the week between new QoT episodes. tvN released Lovely Runner (Running Away with Sun Jae on … Continue reading →
I have a soft spot for K-dramas that deal with time travel or soul switching but used in a way that gives the leads more time with family and resolving unfinished business. 17 Again, Hello It’s Me, and Twinkling Watermelon are a few recent faves of mine. Upcoming tvN drama Lovely Runner (Running Away with Sun Jae on My Back) … Continue reading →
This past weekend the hit jTBC weekend drama Strong Girl Nam Soon ended and with a new ratings high of over 10%, putting itself in the same storied list of top rated cable dramas on the network.

I didn’t follow the K-movies this year so I don’t even know if any of the winners were the right ones lol but I still love awards ceremonies for the glitz and glamor. It was the usual level of awards show dressing for the 2023 Blue Dragon Awards which fetes the best in film with plenty of A-list and rising … Continue reading →
