tvN Mon-Tues Drama Lovely Runner with Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok Gains Runaway Buzz Higher than its Ratings Around 3% After Two Weeks Airing

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 My Back) last week in the Mon-Tues time slot and since then with 4-episodes aired the drama has become way bigger in online buzz than expected. The ratings are steady around 3% cable which is passable, not a flop but rather expected for a youth romance drama with a time travel twist. Kim Hye Yoon and Byun Woo Seok are garnering tons of positive feedback for their great chemistry and the incredibly engaging storyline as she time travels back to his high school days vowing to change his future path so he doesn’t die of a suicide in the present adult days. I don’t know if the ratings will breakout in future episodes but this drama has definitely become a breakout on buzz alone.
