Adapted from a beloved web novel and written by the talented Lee Si Eun, known for her work on "True Beauty," "Lovely Runner" poses an intriguing question: What if you had the chance to rescue your ultimate idol?

Leading the cast is Kim Hye Yoon , who takes on the role of Im Sol, a die-hard fan devastated by the untimely demise of her beloved artist, Ryu Sun Jae, portrayed by Byun Woo Seok . In a twist of fate, Im Sol finds herself catapulted back to the year 2008, determined to alter destiny and save her idol.


The freshly unveiled stills offer a glimpse into the captivating first encounter between Im Sol and Ryu Sun Jae in the past. With Im Sol, now 34, meeting the 19-year-old Ryu Sun Jae, emotions run high as she embraces him tightly, her tearful eyes hinting at the emotional rollercoaster to come.

Im Sol’s bold move catches Ryu Sun Jae off guard, setting the stage for a blossoming connection that transcends time. As the production team teases, while the 2023 versions of the duo share a typical artist-fan dynamic, their 2008 counterparts will embark on a heartwarming journey of destiny, promising to enthrall audiences with their palpable chemistry.


The production team explained, “If 2023 Ryu Sun Jae and Im Sol have a relationship between that of an artist and fan, 2008 Ryu Sun Jae and Im Sol will build a fond narrative through their fate-like love that goes beyond the 15 years, immersing viewers deeply into the story.”

Fans can mark their calendars for the premiere of "Lovely Runner" on April 8th at 8:50 p.m. KST, where they'll witness a tale of love, fate, and second chances like never before.
