The team behind the hit tvN drama Lovely Runner is getting a reward vacation to Phuket. However, the attendance of lead actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon remains uncertain due to their busy schedules.
An official from the Lovely Runner crew shared with OSEN on the 4th, “We are planning a reward vacation to Phuket.” While specific dates and attendees have not been finalized, the trip aims to celebrate the show’s sensational popularity in Phuket.
The participation of lead actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon has become a focal point. Following the conclusion of Lovely Runner, both actors have been riding a wave of tremendous popularity and staying extremely busy. Byeon Woo Seok, in particular, is set to hold a fan meeting on July 6th and 7th at the Jangchung Arena in Seoul, highlighting his packed schedule.
Lovely Runner is a time-slip romance drama about a passionate fan, Lim Sol, who travels back to 2008 to save her favorite singer, Ryu San Jae, whose death had left her in despair. The series has consistently topped weekly rankings in both TV and OTT drama buzz and has garnered significant international attention.
It has dominated the top spot in 130 countries during its sixth week on Rakuten Viki, maintaining the number one position in 109 countries, including the United States, for six consecutive weeks. This impressive performance has set new records for weekly viewership in North America, making it one of the top titles of 2024.
Even after the show’s conclusion, its popularity endures. Byeon Woo Seok has received over ten times more script offers than before, and Kim Hye Yoon’s consecutive successes in romantic comedies have solidified her status as a leading actress in her twenties. Co-stars Song Geon Hee and Lee Seung Hyub are also enjoying increased attention and walking their own paths to stardom.
