She continued, “People around me told me that if I watch the drama, I won’t be able to focus on my work. But I really want to watch it, many people said the drama is good. Earlier today, my makeup artists found out that I hadn’t watched the drama so they urged me to quickly watch it. I can’t watch it now. I can’t watch ‘Lovely Runner’ because I have to learn my script”.
tvN’s Mon-Tue drama “Lovely Runner” is going viral. Airing the first episode on April 8th, the drama recorded only 3.1% in viewership, then fell to 2.7% in episode 2. However, the rating began to rise again after the drama became known to the public through word of mouth. Despite its low rating, “Lovely Runner” is arousing explosive hot topics and discussions online.
In addition, the drama surpassed “Queen of Tears” to place No.1 in Good Data Corporation’s TV-OTT Drama Popularity Rankings in the first week of May. The drama’s popularity surged 23% compared to the previous week. Especially, lead actors Byun Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon dominated No.1 and No.2 on the popularity chart for TV-OTT drama cast.
Along with the drama’s virality, Byun Woo-seok, who has become better known as “Ryu Sun-jae”, is carrying out various promotional activities, such as joining the communication community Weverse, holding a fanmeeting, and appearing on entertainment shows. On the other hand, Kim Hye-yoon’s agency received complaints from fans about their lack of promotion for the actress.
