About Lovely Runner

Lovely Runner is a tvN K-drama starring Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon. The show, which debuted in April and concluded last week, saw both the cast and its popularity soar throughout its run.

The series, which was based on a web novel called Tomorrow's Best, revolved around a woman who gets paralyzed after an unfortunate accident. While she loses most hope in her life, a K-pop idol from the boy band called Eclipse keeps her motivated. However, her life meets yet another struggle when the death of the K-pop idol is announced.

As she continues to dwell in the grief of the same, she suddenly sees herself time-traveling to her school days, where she finds herself as the schoolmate of the K-pop idol. She not only uses time travel to her advantage to prevent his death, but she also finds herself falling in love with him.


Lovely Runner and its intriguing plot naturally had fans hooked till its last episode. On the other hand, a separate fanbase for the fictional boy band Eclipse was also formed due to their performances, charisma, and OSTs. Therefore, fans were quite excited when the Korean media outlet speculated on the appearance of the boy band outside the universe of Lovely Runner.
