I like revenge dramas mixed with the time travel theme. Reborn Rich and Marry My Husband were both good that way. I thought Lovely Runner was very enjoyable. Two cute protagonists, trying to fix something in an older timeline. Lots of questions on how the watch worked. W is very creative. I liked that slip into a parallel universe of webtoons.

Agreed! That's one reason why SIGNAL (which I reviewed previously and is in the K-Drama Index) is so good. Such a great and compelling storyline. I'm almost always confused about how any of the time travel devices work, to be honest. I just suspend my belief in reality and go with it! 😂 Have a great weekend, Sonia!

Just rewatched Lovely Runner and was wondering if Jae Ha Kim had wrote something on it, haha. Tbh I love to watch time travel media, sci-fi specifically, and even tho Lovely Runner was quite frustrating at times and had a few loop holes iirc, it ended up being my favorite K-drama from 2024.

There was just something so lovely and soothing about LOVELY RUNNER that I delayed watching the final episode, because I didn't want it to end. You are correct, there are loop holes, but with a lot of time travel shows, I have to suspend my belief in reality and just go with the flow. haha Thank you for your comment!
