Lovely Runner

65% — i loved their relationship so much! yet despite the promising premise, the plot and characters fell astoundingly flat characters - leads had great chemistry  - i really liked loser sun jae i wish they emphasized it more in the last few episodes - i didn’t love the fan celeb dynamic…. - sol felt one dimensional! she rejected so many of her other relationships and wasn’t very invested in her own life in favor of saving him — if her character had more depth she wouldve been more relatable and easier to root for - tae sung was cute but looked too old to be a high schooler…. i also wanted a bit more insight into his relationship with im sol in the last time skip - more inhyuk and less of the second couple would’ve been more enjoyable imo plot  - the serial killer plotline did not suit ithe vibe of the show? i skipped the majority of those scenes they felt super out of place — the point of the show that really stood out to me was the sacrificial love element and this subplot made it feel like a byproduct of some mystery drama and less so out of authentic love - subsequently i hate how the disability and depression plots were fabricated from the mystery ugh ew - timeskips were cute i loved their high school era so much - i would definitely change the length… 12 episodes would’ve been enough had they not included the mystery subplot - i was bewildered by how they introduced new and conflicting aspects of time travel every eps? poorly explained if at all and an absurd amount of plot holes cinematography  - rain scenes were cute!! - i liked the color grading  - the time capsule egg was ugly - i got really sick of the song - some of sunjae’s outfits were interesting…. i would consider rewatching episodes 2/3/4 (high school era!) and the scenes with his pov — i think the rest of the show played on too many tropes
