Even
after two years, the popularity of Lovely Runner refuses to fade. It's lead actors, Byeon Woo-Seok and Kim Hye-Yoon, might have moved on to newer projects, Perfect Crown, and No Tail To Tell, respectively, but subeoms continue to root for the Korean show, which emerged as one of the biggest hits in recent times. Infact, the K-drama rolled out a humongous viewership upon its release, originally on Viki Rakuten, and later on Netflix.

Lovely Runner is soon leaving Netflix in several regions, including India.
