Is your post-Lovely Runner slump real?  Do you still wake up expecting a notification for episode 17? You're not alone. That ending of this K-drama – the lingering glances, the memory-watch mystery – it left us with more questions than answers. But fear not, drama comrades, because this blog is about to become our Lovely Runner Season 2 war room.

We all know the drill. Ratings were stellar, the webtoon's bursting with untapped potential, yet the writer remains tight-lipped. So, what's the verdict, tvN? Are we getting another season of Im Sol and Ryu Sun-jae's mind-bending romance? Should we bombard them with metaphorical love letters and strategically placed snacks to sway their decision?

Let's unpack this, shall we? Dive into the comments and share your wildest theories! Will Im Sol and Ryu Sun-jae finally snag their happily ever after, or will another timey-wimey twist send them hurtling into a fresh timeline? Maybe they'll become coworkers (with undeniable chemistry, of course!), or perhaps future roommates with a hilariously awkward slow burn. The possibilities are like alternate timelines – endless!

The question burns brighter than Im Sol's determination. Fans are buzzing, whipping up theories on social media, and diving headfirst into the Tomorrow's Best webtoon by Doong Doong, hoping to unearth clues about a potential Season 2.

Here's the twist — Tomorrow's Best by Kim Bbang has a sequel! Naturally, fans are connecting the dots, wondering if Lovely Runner will follow suit.  However, some argue the story in Season 1 wrapped up neatly, leaving viewers satisfied with the plot but yearning for more of Im Sol and Ryu Sun-jae's journey.  Will tvN answer our pleas? Only time (and maybe some impressive viewership numbers) will tell.

Lovely Runner Season 2 is expected to see Sun-Jae turn distant after assuming Im Sol loses her memories. This potential amnesia plot line could lead to a season filled with misunderstandings, heartache, and a whole lot of longing glances across crowded rooms.

Another theory throws a curveball into the mix. Could Kim Tae-sung, the bassist, be harbouring a secret crush on Im Sol? Fans theorise that Lovely Runner Season 2 might explore his feelings, adding a love triangle element and a touch of jealousy to the dynamic between the lead couple.

Of course, some fans crave a simpler approach. They envision a season dedicated to the blossoming romance between Sun-Jae and Im Sol. Imagine them navigating the challenges of dating – a busy idol balancing fame with a career-driven girlfriend. Will their love conquer all, or will their contrasting worlds create friction?

While the webtoon offers some clues, the writers might have a whole new storyline in mind for Lovely Runner Season 2.

Move over heartthrobs, Byeon Woo-Seok (remember him from Strong Girl Nam-soon) is here to steal the show. His portrayal of the captivating idol Ryu Sun-jae in Lovely Runner has launched him into the K-Drama stratosphere. What drew him to the role? The show's sunshine-like warmth, he says. "I wanted to be part of a project that radiates warmth akin to sunlight," Byeon Woo-Seok shared with Soompi.

To perfectly embody Sun-jae, Byeon Woo-Seok showcased a duality in his performance.  "For the past Sun Jae," he explains, "it was all about raw passion and youthful innocence." But present-day Sun-jae is a more refined version, and Byeon Woo-Seok expertly conveyed this growth, maintaining Sun-jae's kindness while adding a layer of maturity.

The magic on screen wasn't just acting. Byeon Woo-Seok's leading lady, Kim Hye-Yoon (you know her from Sky Castle), brought the sweet and ambitious Im Sol to life. Their chemistry crackled so intensely, that Byeon Woo-Seok himself admitted, "My chemistry with Kim Hye Yoon was indescribable." He even confessed that during emotional scenes, Sun-jae's feelings for Sol mirrored his own. Talk about real-life sparks.

Joining this dynamic duo are Song Geon-hee (Joseon Attorney) as the cool bassist Kim Tae-sung and Lee Seung-hyub (Nevertheless) as the talented guitarist Baek Inhyuk.  Get ready to be swept off your feet by this all-star cast and their captivating story in Lovely Runner
