Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok Confirmed for tvN Time Travel Healing Romance Drama Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback

Wow, I can see this very drama premise triggering since it deals with a very distressing act that sets things in motion. Hopefully there is a trigger warning and then the rest of the drama tries its darnedest to make it not happen. tvN has scheduled a new drama with the literal title Running Away with Sun Jae on Piggyback and it will star similar age leads Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok. The drama deals with a top star Sun Jae who is worn down by his entertainment career and commits suicide. His biggest fan girl gets her own traumatic healing from listening to his songs on the radio and is despondent over his passing. She time travels back 15 years to when Sun Jae is 19 years old and resolves to change his future to ensure the same tragedy doesn’t happen again. The drama is adapted from a source novel and tentatively will air before the end of 2023.
