Kim Hye-yoon cries for Byun Woo-seok in tvN’s Lovely Runner
by tccolb
Now that we’ve swooned plenty over 2D photos – and cardboard cutouts – of luscious lips star celeb Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon), it’s time for our heroine Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) to continue her fantasy in live-action, watching dramas of her favorite man in the latest teaser for tvN’s Lovely Runner.
I’m starting to get worried that all these fun promos are skyrocketing my excitement and it’s hard to hold back my widening grin when the teaser’s music is just so good. Calling back to the melodramas of yore, the tinkling piano sets the perfect mood as Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok) acts in the full noble idiocy of his character, pleading, “Don’t like me. I’m telling you, don’t like me.”

A teary-eyed Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) gives as good as she gets, pretending to take the place of the drama-in-the-drama’s female lead as she demands to understand what Sun-jae means and how it’s even possible to not like him. As per the captions, the ~dramatic~ script hilariously comes from the Outsider saga by webnovelist Gwiyeoni, who went viral in the early aughts and is well known as the original source writer of the movie Temptation of Wolves.
The icing on the teaser’s cake, of course, is Sun-jae’s single tear. But this is when our adorable Sol breaks out of her fantasy, reaching with a tissue to dab the tear from her precious idol’s face on the computer screen. Giggling over how handsomely Sun-jae cries, Sol then references our story’s Korean title as the teaser comes to a close, wondering aloud if she should just throw Sun-jae onto her back and carry him away. In the meantime, my sidetracked mind is wondering what lip gloss they’re both wearing.
On the production side, tvN’s Lovely Runner has PD Kim Tae-yub (When My Love Blooms) and PD Yoon Jong-ho at the helm, with scripts penned by Lee Shi-eun (True Beauty). The timeslip romance will be coming to our screens next month, premiering on April 8 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.
