LOVELY RUNNER 선재 업고 튀어 (2024) - Episode 3

Baek Inhyuk Appreciation Post

I would like to take this moment to give a toast to Baek Inhyuk for watching his loser friend fall in love in every timeline but still supporting his loser antics with all the second hand embarrassment.

Things Baek Inhyuk has done till now to support his loser best friend Ryu Sunjae.

Made cherry blossoms fall from the sky.

Hauled his drunk ass from a bar with Taesong

Gave his friend the concept of "timing"

Watched him fuck up the timing and listen to him talk about how stunning Sol is. All. The. Time.

Wore many rings on his fingers

SANG AT SOL'S NEPHEW'S BIRTHDAY PARTY

TOLD HIS FRIEND TO SHUT TF UP AND KEEP A LID ON HIS LOSER ANTICS TO NOT FUCK UP THE PLAN

CAME WITH PETALS AGAIN ON THE BOAT

Picked up the petals because it wasn't the right time. (Sunjae ya I'll beat you up)

Watched Sol and Sunjae be lovey dovey all the time and stopped himself from upchuking the dude cause I would have.

Everyone say 'Thank you Inhyuk' for showing us what kind of best friend we need.

Edit: ALSO GOT BEAT UP BY RYU SUNJAE WITH A PILLOW AND STOPPED HIM FROM BEATING UP KIM TAESONG

I just realized something!

When Sun-Jae and Tae-Sung get tipsy in EP11, the song they are drunkenly singing as they run down the corridor is the cringeworthy birthday song Sol sang for Tae-Sung!

Do you know what this means?!

Tae-Sung took the time to teach it to Sun-Jae and they then used Sol's name for the chorus! What a couple of dorks!

P. S. I'm now picturing present timeline Sun-Jae sulking after he recalls that song's backstory and then begging Sol to sing it to him, swapping Tae-Sung's name for his!

I still can't stop thinking about Lovely Runner. And when I do, I can't stop crying. I find myself just bursting into tears whenever I have a moment to myself and I start thinking about it. I just miss it so terribly and it's only or already (depending on how you look at it) been 4 days. And I miss Sol, Sun Jae, Tae Sung, In Hyuk, and all the others so so much. I can barely look at them without crying sometimes.

I woke up feeling so depressed and empty today. How am I supposed to just go on with my life without them... :'( I know I'm being so dramatic but I can't help it. I really loved the ending and I'm so happy they (and we) got their happy ending, but I'm still not ready to say goodbye and let them go... :'(

I don't remember if I've ever felt this much and been this sad after a drama has ended before :'( I need to go rewatch all the cute and funny scenes again to hopefully stop feeling so depressed.

Kim Taesong Appreciation Post

While we are on the topic of Lovely Runner. I would also like to commend the writers for making Kim Taesong someone who understood boundaries and respected Hye Yoon's decisions.

He is still flirty with her but aren't we all. And he genuinely cares for her. I know for sure that him and Baek In Hyuk would be the godfathers of their children. Just telling them stories about their loser dad.

And it was such a good idea to make him the guy who changed their fate. Like the writers didn't make him fade in the background. HE is the reason that Ryu Sunjae and Im Sol could be together.

Taesong is a very good example of how you should be if you get rejected. Respect. Her. Decision. He is ACTUALLY a nice guy. And I would date him in a heart beat.

the sad thing about lovely runner is no matter how close you get to a happy ending it is still tragic in some way with lives and loves left incomplete.

in the first timeline sol never gets to even partially fulfill her dreams due to her disability. she can never be a producer and she holds on to her life through her idol. sunjae has to let go of his love and act like nothing ever happened even though he is the person responsible for ruining her life while saving it, and he desperately tries to keep her alive again and again while he himself lives an emptly life which we can see he is sick of. hyunjoo and geum both end up alone, with geum having to give up acting to take care of the family. with sunjae dead, probably inhyuk too never gets to live his dream out fully and we never even hear of taesung.

in the timeline where they are the closest to being happy with eclipse formed, sol/sunjae and geum/hyunjoo together and sunjae & taesung & inhyuk friends, sunjae still dies.

even in the last timeline, with sunjae alive, our main trio have lived their lives hollowly: sunjae is bitter and irritable since he had no sol to soften him up or give him a purpose after his injury, sol lives 16 years more knowing she will never be with the person she loves the most, and poor taesung becomes basically destined to love sol the moment their paths cross but as the second male lead he is doomed to let sol cry sunjae's name drunk on his shoulder in every universe. the most he can do is save their lives and disappear, we don't actually know if he ever gets to be completely happy and even sol and sunjae start truly living when they are 35.

this is why the happy ending of lovely runner doesnt actually feel happy, no matter what they do they still have to sacrifice half a lifetime to finally live at last

I vote to give the watch to Tae Sung and In Hyuk. Been a fan of Tae Sung's quick wit and ability to quickly read a situation for a bit now but In Hyuk actually is a lot saner than I first thought. He is also quite perceptive but I guess his intelligence and ability to reason gets overshadowed by Sun Jae's absolute loserism when it comes to Sol.

Let those two handle it. They will make some wise choices to break this circle. This way we have two people acting with the best interests of both leads.

Tae Sung and Baek In Hyuk will singlehandedly double-handedly and voluntarily, free of cost, for the sake of their own sanity, take care of the taxi driver, fate, coincidence, universe, open plot lines. I am sure they are open to more suggestions for the list!
