Their relationship promises a load of fun, over-the-top, and weird exchanges between Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae. 
2. Promising time slip angle
Lovely Runner can not be missed because of its time-traveling premise which adds a special angle to the standard romance K-drama. The time slip plot line gives the storyline a nice change of pace and also adds an element of hope.
Giving the chance to save someone you love by going into the past gives the entire romantic storyline a more emotional perspective. Kim Hye Yoon’s Im Sol is the biggest fan of Byeon Woo Seok’s Ryu Sun Jae but she is distraught when he unexpectedly dies in an accident. Her idol was the only ray of hope in her otherwise sad life, Im Sol hits rock bottom after having lost that. But fate plays an unexpected card and slips her 15 years into the past when she and her K-pop idol are high schoolers.
Kim Hye Yoon sees time traveling as her godsend opportunity to protect and save her ultimate K-pop idol Byeon Woo Seok. This timeslip arch adds another hopeful angle to this heartwarming romance.
3. A twist to conventional idol-fan romance
Idol romance K-dramas are an all-time favorite as they feed into the delusional yet hopeful yearning of fans actually loving their idols. Idol and fan romances are conventionally set in as a one-in-a-million chance meeting.
But Lovely Runner gives a much-needed fresh twist to idol romance in K-dramas with time traveling. In the past, when love blooms, Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon were fellow high schoolers and not idols and fans. Though in the present Byeon Woo Seok is a K-pop idol who is out of reach and Kim Hye Yoon is just a fan, they will be connected more deeply as two lovers due to the timeslip. Lovely Runner humanizes both idols and fans into just two people who will fall in love.
4. The female lead becomes the savior
In every story, the male protagonist becomes the knight in shining armor to save the feeble female protagonist but no more. The tables will turn in Lovely Runner where instead of the male lead Byeon Woo Seok, the female lead Kim Hye Yoon will take upon the role of savior.
Im Sol (Kim Hye Yoon) takes a vow to protect her bias Ryu Sun Jae (Byeon Woo Seok) and stay by his side whatever happens. She swore to change his unfortunate fate in the end. Taking the role of rescuer, Kim Hye Yoon will be seen in a new light where she will be resilient and ready to take any bullet for her beloved. It will be a pleasant change of pace to watch the damsel take on the role of knight in shining armor to protect the male protagonist.
