Lovely Runner, the tearjerking, time-travel romance starring Byeon Woo-seok and Kim Hye-yoon, is rolling out to select Netflix regions in May and June 2026, and fans are losing it all over again.

What Is Lovely Runner About?
Ryu Seon Jae, one of South Korea’s fastest rising celebrities, tragically commits suicide after life as a celebrity leaves him burnt out and suffering from depression. His death breaks the heart of Im Sol, who has admired him from afar since childhood. While reeling from the news of his demise, Im Sol is mysteriously transported 15 years into the past, where she has the opportunity to subvert fate and save Ryu Seon Jae from his future tragedy.
It’s the kind of story that grabs you by the collar — part romance, part heartbreak, part second-chance miracle. The time travel premise is executed with rare emotional intelligence, making it feel genuinely earned rather than gimmicky.
Which Netflix Regions Are Getting It?
At least ten countries are confirmed to receive the beloved K-drama, including the UK, Australia, and South Korea. However, the US misses out — at least for now. The series was directed by Yoon Jong Ho and Kim Tae Yub, and written by Lee Shi Eun, originally broadcast on tvN between April 8, 2024 and May 28, 2024. What’s on Netflix
US fans can still access the series via Rakuten Viki, where the show originally streamed and ranked No. 1 in over 130 countries.
Why the Hype Is Completely Justified
The series carries a massive 9.0 rating from over 100,000 users on Asian drama site MyDramaList — a score that places it among the all-time greats of the genre. Since its original 2024 run, Lovely Runner has inspired countless fan edits, bestselling merchandise, and even a Billboard chart debut for one of its official songs. Simply put, this is a cultural moment that refused to fade quietly. What’s on Netflix
