Parasyte The Grey Coming. Its a great show so far. Even if you already know the anime and if you dont. Its fine as the character is different from the anime but in the same universe.
What’s your take on that K drama “Lovely Runner”. I see the most comments for that and the plus side , it’s airing.
Great for posting and editing relevant content.

YES to Lovely Runner🙌🏻
OMG YES PLEASE BIG YES TO LOVELY RUNNER!
So far lovely runner has been well lovely. I like the concept of the show mixed with the comedy and romance.
I'm loving Lovely Runner so far. I've been watching kdrama for 10 years but slowly lost interest lately as I become pickier. Tbh I dropped almost all of the recent popular ones either because of the "had potential but went downhill" script or the actors' poor acting. With that being said, Lovely Runner keeps me on edge waiting for new episode each week, the feeling that I lost 2 years ago :)) I started this with not much expectation but it's surprisingly good by the way they direct and execute the old time-slip premise. It has the perfect balance of romance, comedy, angst and unexpected twists. The ML and FL are doing great too, their chemistry is sizzling. It's only 6 episodes for now but if they can keep the quality till the end, it will be one of my all-time faves.
I would love to watch your reaction on lovely runner 😍 I haven't started yet I am waiting for all episodes to come out I am very excited for this one and knowing you guys will also considering it adds more joy😍😍
I would also like to reiterate what I’ve said previously before concerning potential reactions to kdramas . Just because there’s little or no reactions to these dramas on YouTube doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no audience for it for reactions . Dramas like Lovely Runner have and show a clear growing interest and popularity as I have mentioned and put a link in my previous comment. In my opinion it would be be a waste not to do a reaction as it’s the second most popular drama and highest rated drama currently airing right now across all platforms/boards
I respect your take on that Kiana.
Lovely runner is a time traveling romcom drama. Next week will be the midway point of the drama.Putting my bias aside and looking at it from an analytical standpoint. Besides obviously Queen of Tears . Lovely Runner is most top rated and one of the most well reviewed drama currently airing right now. Upon premiere Lovely Runner ranked No. 1 in over 133 regions that Viki is made available including the US. Upon the first 2 episodes it had a rating of 9.8 and currently after 6 episodes it’s still at a 9.8 rating. On IMDB its rating is 9.0 . Since the drama has aired it’s been on a weekly ranking of most buzz worthy shows. This ranking measures the popularity of each drama by news, articles and other various social media platforms. So far consistently Lovely Runner has always managed going in the top ten. According that ranking list Lovely Runner is behind Queen of Tears who is number one the 1 on the list making Lovely runner number 2 on it. https://www.hindustantimes.com/entertainment/web-series/queen-of-tears-vs-lovely-runner-which-weekly-drama-swept-the-buzzworthy-rankings-this-time-101713754870198.html
I still gonna suggest the midnight studio. it may not have the highest rating but the story line, love story between ml, fl and side characters are the best in my opinion.
Naaaaa IM good
When you releasing the episodes for this?
ASAP
I didn't like the Synopsis of the drama hence I have mixed feelings about it
Lovely Runner is very well written and has a interesting narration...first 2 eps might've looked simpler at first watch but the more you go further into the eps there's always something hidden in those initial episodes to surprise us 🙌
I'm loving The Lovely Runner so far so I would be happy to watch it with you all
I liked the first episode of lovely runner, but the end of the first episode and the direction it took didn't make me want to continue, don't hate it but I hoped for a different kind of story. Maybe it's getting better later, will see if you watch it
You gave up too soon...end of ep 2 took a totally different turn 😩
Well, here are my thoughts right now... I will watch your reaction ro Parasyte The Grey since it's something I'm interested in as a fan of the anime. As for Lovely Runner, I see the high ratings, but I also see that the number of ratings is still pretty low right now since it's still airing, so I'm waiting to see how it will do as a whole before I watch it. I would rather watch your reaction to something already proven to be good right now. I want to see a reaction to 2521 the most, but there are also some other shows that people are recommending that look good :)
I don't think there's a single show that wouldn't have both positive and negative comments when asking a group of different people. Personally haven't seen Lovely Runner yet but definitely planning to start soon. Haven't seen a show this highly rated and recommended in a while. Of course not knowing the show itself yet makes me want to root for a reaction to other show, which I already know and love, same as others. So will be crossing my fingers for Happiness, While You Were Sleeping, Castaway Diva, Tomorrow, Start-Up or The Good Bad Mother for now.
I'm loving Lovely Runner, it's just a type of drama I needed. The plot it's good so far, the characters are funny there's fluff, plot twists. I can say it's very different from the drama you've been reacting lately. It has a less serious tone. It's more humorous, I can compare it more to strong woman do bong soon, than to queen of tears o CLOY. I think it would be good to watch you react to it just to take a breath from all the mental instability and stress this dramas are giving us ahaha.
I have never been one to side with the majority just because something is popular or trending. Nor am I swayed by the reviews. Most of the KDramas I like received weird reviews but were great shows. Let the record reflect that the romance/comedy genre of KDrama is my least favorite. They often script the characters most annoyingly with the FL being obnoxious and the ML being overly rude or foolishly clueless. With this being said, Lovely Runner is on my top 5 weekly watch list. In my opinion, it's a really good watch. I love everything about this show. I'm just gaga over the female lead. Her raspy little voice mixed with her inner giant (looks 4'10 but acts like she is 6'2) is the cutest. The ML (villain from Strong Woman 2) is yummy and I thought he was an idol at some point in his career because he has a beautiful voice. The height difference between the ML and FL also makes for great chemistry. This show has a rating of 9.1/10 from 4,334 users on MyDramaList and a 9.8/10 from 10,795 viewers on Rakuten Viki. I haven't seen ratings this high in a long time and, in my opinion, the ratings are well deserved. Much like Twinkling Watermelon, the time-altering plot, supportive script, OST, and casting are on point. It's well-written and not repetitive like most time-altering storylines. The chemistry between the ML and FL is chemistrying. Even the 2nd male lead will sway you. The pacing is just right because we are currently waiting on episode 7 and I haven't once said to myself, "I wish they would just move on already." It might not be the most popular or recommended here, but I'm confident you guys would enjoy reacting to this show.
i haven't seen either show so i cant give input but i recommend mouse or strangers from hell the next time yall want something thriller/ serial killer themed
I see people recommend lovely runner a lot even on twitter but when i watched it i couldn't make it past 20 mins of ep 1 because the lead actress' voice was annoying for me. I don't know, maybe i was just not in the mood to watch a show like that at that moment or maybe it was too hyped but did not meet expectations right away. I was watching qot at the same time and maybe that also played a part, like, i wanted something as good as qot.
I would say you should give try atleast first 4 eps...they showed so many hidden details and pov made it beautiful
Yes Parasyte the grey isnt making waves in the KDRAMA world. HOWEVER, there is a high general interest for it outside of it just being a K drama. It breaks the barrier in a way many other shows cant. The best way to put it views wise is that it is not covered many channels, but for the channels that do cover it (nojaem no life, Nerdyverse, semz nerd) it is their BREAKOUT series and does better than even currently airing live actions like Fallout and 3 Body Problem. In short there is high demand but low supply and personally I'd watch it over a more 'chill' show like Lovely Runner
lol I feel asleep and didnt notice your most recent post. I'm glad ya'll stated it!!!
Lovely Runner is SO GOOD, it got me out of my kdrama slump and Queen of Tears !!
The ending scene of the Parasyte Kdrama got me excited! 🔥👀
Lovely runner is doing great so far in terms of ratings and plot. I'd love to see your reactions to it. But if you're considering timeless classics I'd like to suggest Mr. Queen, Reply 1988, Good bad mother, 25 21 and Little Women.
I personally didn't really LOVE lovely runner - it's a decent show with a pretty good story but maybe because I watched it alongside QOT it didn't feel as great (still would watch if you guys went with it). I personally feel you should go with one of the classics or something that came second in the previous QOT poll. If I had to make a recommendation it would be "What's wrong with Secretary Kim" --> it has the actress from Marry My Husband who I know y'all like and it's a fun show somewhat like the business proposal vibe.
Lovely Runner is right up there with QOT in terms of weekly waiting hype for me, it has 2 amazing lead actors, a really interesting take on a time old premise. I think with the premise it leaves you wanting more and allows for great theorizing after every ep.
Is this like a spin-off or a sequel? Or is it just a whole copy but in Korean?
It's more like "meanwhile in korea" like a similar story to the anime but how it went down in Korea.
Lovely Runner doesn't seem to stand out in this huge world of kdramas, however it is feel-good, recent, and somewhat popular, so it may do good for yt views and Patreon subscriptions. I don't know much about parasyte, so can't say anything about it. But i would suggest you try out a timeless piece since you checked out a more recent one, queen of tears (what a masterpiece). Not sure if I should give recommendations since they'd probably overwhelm you more. Regardless, I would enjoy watching your reaction to Lovely Runner or any other kdrama.
I will listen to your suggestions because your comment is rather thoughtful Shoot
Lovely Runner has been pretty good. Funnier than I thought it was going to be.
what? This looks like a live action type of thing from parasite the maxim.... the anime. Did they steal from the anime/manga and make it into a kdrama?
You are correct minus verbage on stealing
Lovely Runner is perfectly fine through 6 episodes. I like it better than Twinkling Watermelon and would watch it with you guys. But it's not really a standout piece. It may be time to check out a classic show.
I’m watching lovely runner currently it’s ongoing so the jury still out for me. Wish I can be of help there. I’m sorry to say I just don’t care for parasyte but a lot of people seem to like it so go with what’s popular. I just wish it was much better than it is but that’s just me. Lots of people are loving it so use your gut instinct and see the yt views etc do your magic.
Parasyte isn’t tooo popular. We chose it cuz it’s short on episodes and length. It allows me some time before we commit to something longer. Between lovely runner, this good bye earth. If neither are strong enough go into timeless categories
Lovely runner is really good and you guys would definitely enjoy the story. It should also do well since people talk about this the most after QOT.
Agreed
ayyy this show got potential. not just cuz its a spinoff of the anime lol
Lovely Runner seems good, ratings are high. People say it's cute and a fun time. Not sure if I'll watch on my own unless yall start reacting to it first though. I believe it covers some heavy and triggering social commentary. Would prefer one of the other shows that has been recommended over it at this juncture because I think I enjoy your reactions more when it's a show you are emotionally invested in over a show where you're just going through the motions but that's just my opinion. Hoping for another show with mature characters not set in high school to be frank completely honest. Actively avoiding high school casted characters.
Between you and I here I think it’s popularity has to do with the moonbin comparison and the nostalgia that it brought at least that’s what I heard on a the K-pop streets 😉 won’t say more I’m not trying to spoil
It’s great so far but pls watch mr queen, happiness, and pyramid game
I love the lovely runner, it gives me all the good feels that I hadn't been given from some kdramas in a while. Nice mix of seriousness and humour and the female lead is just amazing.
would LOVE to see lovely runner hyeyoon and wooseok have done such a great job so far
