More about Byeon Woo-seok's Sudden Shower
Sudden Shower, an OST from Lovely Runner, is praised for its emotional depth and Byeon Woo-seok’s vocal performance. On June 4, 2024, the song entered the Billboard Global 200 chart at position 199 and debuted on the MelOn Top 100 chart at number 92. The following day, it was featured on M COUNTDOWN Monthly Pick, becoming the first-ever K-drama OST to achieve this recognition.
Sudden Shower was written by songwriter Kim Soo-yoon, who drew inspiration from 2000s rock ballads and other bands. In Lovely Runner, the song, titled Sonagi, is written by Ryu Sun-jae (played by Byeon Woo-seok), the vocalist of the fictional band Eclipse. The song is inspired by Im Sol, played by Kim Hye-yoon.
The track plays a pivotal role in the drama, capturing Sun-jae's emotions when he first sees Im Sol. She appears under a sudden shower, running toward him with a yellow umbrella. The song expresses his feelings of love at first sight and the innocence of first love.
In the drama, Sun-jae performs the song as his idol self. It serves as a recurring theme that connects him and Im Sol across all timelines in this time-slip story.
Sudden Shower is the solo song of Eclipse that leaves an indelible mark on Im Sol, even when she is unaware it is written for her. For Sun-jae, the song becomes a bridge to the memories of their shared relationship, resurfacing even when those memories disappear.
Eclipse is the fictional band in Lovely Runner. It consists of Ryu Sun-jae (Byeon Woo-seok), Baek In-hyuk (boyband N.Flying’s Lee Seung-hyub), Hyun Soo (Moon Xion), and Jay (Yang Hyuk).
Lovely Runner is a 2024 South Korean drama starring Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon. It follows Ryu Seon-jae, a famous celebrity, and Im Sol, his devoted fan who finds solace in his music. After hearing of his tragic death, Im Sol is transported 15 years into the past. There, she meets a young Ryu Seon-jae and sets out to change his fate. The series is available on multiple streaming platforms, including Netflix and Viki.
