SPOILER ALERT

Episode 2: The changing pattern of emotions 

The second episode of Lovely Runner has one of the most memorable scenes. Im Sol makes a concerted effort to get close to Sun Jae in the first and most of the second episodes in an attempt to shield him and change his fate. But Sun Jae doesn’t warm up to her, perplexed by her abrupt behavior shift. The big announcement at the end of the episode—that Im Sol is Ryu Sun Jae’s first love—captivated viewers.

Episode 4: Sun Jae acts as the saviour

Episode four opens with the evidence that Sun Jae is still thinking about Im Sol and that their alleged first and last encounter in the present wasn’t really their first. But Im Sol doesn’t even recognize him. Even before she went back in time to alter his life, Sun Jae has always considered her to be his first and last love, and he has strong memories of her. That’s why he chases after her right away and doesn’t hesitate when he sees her miss her bus stop.

Im Sol’s ultimate confession to Sun Jae

Another treasured moment from the alternate timeline is when Sun Jae goes home with Sol after spending the whole night at his house. Sol eventually plumps up the confidence to tell him how she really feels about him, that she has always liked him and has always wanted to tell him so, before they go inside her house.

Im Sol’s most-loved birthday dance 

There are two different Sols in the story: the 19-year-old Sol who is in love with Tae Sung, and the 34-year-old Im Sol who goes back in time to save Sun Jae. Sun Jae is devastated when 19-year-old Im Sol reappears and accepts Tae Sung’s confession when he returns to the present shortly after. Thus, upon her return, 34-year-old Sol discovers she is currently dating Tae Sung.

Episode 10: The climax

Episode 10’s climax hits its pinnacle right before Sun Jae leaves the nation. He takes Kim Tae Sung’s advise and decides to look for the time capsule after reflecting on how he couldn’t let go of Sol for 15 years in the past timeline. He is shocked to find a letter from Sol inside, which inspires him to finish the puzzle. Sol discovers herself being followed by a truck that looks like the Young Soo’s after thinking Sun Jae had departed. However, Sun Jae shows up at the exact moment to save her, opting to face her with indisputable facts.

The scintillating beach

Im Sol, Sun Jae, and Tae Sung travel to Busan in episodes 11–12 in order to locate Baek In Hyuk (Lee Seung Hyub), who has returned home as a result of professional difficulties. They first see In Hyuk by the shore because the area has a lot of beaches, and subsequently the four of them hang out there. A wonderful image of summertime nostalgia and strengthening friendships by the seaside is depicted when Sun Jae and In Hyuk talk about their connection for a bit before indulging in ice cream.

Episode 15: Sun Jae hitting nostalgia

Lovely Runner’s fifteenth episode shows us how Sun Jae gradually restores his memories from each timeline. Through these flashbacks, the series and their relationship are beautifully summarized. He immediately returns to Im Sol after remembering and asks how she could have possibly believed that she could make him forget about her.

The iconic wedding proposal

In the ninth episode of the show, Sol and Sun Jae, who had finally started dating, are strolling hand in hand down a road while cherry blossoms gently fall all around them. Sol tries to catch some but can’t, so Sun Jae helps her. Together, they take advantage of the moment to make a wish, which results in one of the most magical moments of the show. Sol happily accepts the proposal, and Sun Jae meticulously places the ring on her finger.
