Lovely Runner: Will Byeon Woo-Seok & Kim Hye-Yoon get a happy or sad ending?
Revolving around the theme of time slip, Lovely Runner chronicles the fascinating love story between an idol singer and a fan. A lot has happened since the beginning of their story. Fans have seen Im Sol (Kim Hye-Soon) slipping through time three times to save Ryu Sun-Jae’s (Byeon Woo-Seok) life. However, no matter how much she tries, Sun-Jae’s life always gets into danger. Thus, it will be interesting to see if Sol and Sun-Jae can protect each other and have a happily ever after.
Fans have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to share their own theories about the Lovely Runner ending. Some fans believe it is not merely a time travel K-drama but a time loop K-drama, and there are time slips within it. They believe that in the original timeline, Im Sol actually died. They also believe that Sun-Jae started the time travel to save Im Sol at first, and he is the one who will end it as well. Take a look at some of these fan theories below.
According to these fan theories, viewers may see Im Sol’s life in grave danger in the final episodes. Thus, Sun-Jae has to time travel to save her. Besides, the theory is that with the criminal Kim Young-Soo on the loose, Sol and Sun Jae’s lives are in danger. It will be quite thrilling to see if they can get him arrested before anything tragic occurs.
Another fan theory about the Lovely Runner ending involves another significant character, Kim Tae-Sung (Song Geon-Hee). Some fans believe that he is also a time traveler. While others believe that he at least has Sun-Jae’s watch with him. They think he knows all about the time travel journey of Im Sol. Especially after his mysterious appearance in episode 8, fans think that he will play a key role in the final episodes. Check out some of the tweets about this theory below.
As suggested by these fan theories, Kim Tae-Sung may sacrifice himself. He has been trying to keep Im Sol protected. In the future timeline, he is a police detective, actively working on the Kim Young-Soo case. Thus, there is a high probability that he may get into danger while chasing after the criminal.
Thus, fans believe that there is a fifty-fifty chance of Sol and Su-Jae getting a happy ending. If Sun-Jae saves Sol and ends the time loop altogether, they will surely get a happy ending. However, the series has repeatedly shown that what is meant to happen will happen no matter how much one tries. Thus, the big question is whether Sol and Sun Jae can change each other’s fate. Whatever the Lovely Runner ending may be, it will surely be thought-provoking.
Episode 15 of Lovely Runner will be available to stream on Viki.
