It’s just another day in the life of a fangirl for Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) in the first teaser for tvN’s timeslip romance Lovely Runner, where our heroine is happy to spend her day swooning over photos of top star Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon).

Serious props to the set design for making sure our heroine’s bedroom is well-equipped with a finely curated display of fan paraphernalia, enshrining her beloved idol Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok). Zooming in on a particularly dashing shot, Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) indulges in fandom’s greatest dream as she bemoans the fact that, “Our Sun-jae has everything. But he doesn’t have me.”

Dissolving into a fit of giggles, as we fans are wont to do, Sol lets her imagination run further as she turns to the cardboard cutout of Sun-jae standing behind her. But when she opens her eyes, Sol is surprised to see the real Sun-jae calling her name. According to the drama’s synopsis, this is when our heroine somehow travels to 2008, reverting back to her teenage self and meeting the also 19-year-old Sun-jae as fellow high school students.

Despite being starstruck by the pretty, our resourceful heroine understands that this is her long-awaited opportunity to save her star from the tragedy in his future. Now recovered from her initial shock, the teaser then closes as Sol cutely goes in for a hug.

Although not yet featured, the series also stars Song Geon-hee (Joseon Attorney), N.Flying’s Lee Seung-hyub (Shooting Stars), and Song Ji-ho (Doctor Cha) among others.

Written by Lee Shi-eun (True Beauty), with PD Kim Tae-yub (When My Love Blooms) and PD Yoon Jong-ho co-directing, tvN’s Lovely Runner will be coming to our screens on April 8.
