Starring Byeon Woo-Seok and Kim Hye-Yoon, Lovely Runner is currently one of the leading K-dramas. Their onscreen and offscreen chemistry has been attracting much attention from the viewers. The duo’s latest appearance on Salon Drip 2 made many curious about their offscreen chemistry as they wondered if Byeon Woo-Seok is dating Hye-Yoon in real life. However, the actors chose to tactfully dodge dating-related questions during the show, making the nature of the real-life relationship ambiguous.
The K-drama is only left with two more episodes, and the buzz around the series is relatively high. Lovely Runner is a time slip show revolving around Ryu Sun-Jae (Woo-Seok), a K-pop idol, and his fan, Im Sol (Hye-Yoon). After Sun-Jae faces a tragic death in 2023, Im Sol travels back in time to 2008 to save him from the tragedy, but she only has three chances. However, their fates are intertwined since they gradually fall for each other in each timeline, which leads him to his death. This complicates their relationship as Im Sol tries to save Sun-Jae.

In the recent episode of Salon Drip 2, Byeon Woo-Seok and Kim Hye-Yoon talked about their characters. Besides, they exuded “couple energy” throughout the show. Explaining how it feels doing the scenes in each timeline, Im Sol said, “I have experienced five more emotions.” She further shared, “On Earth, only two of us are left.” Woo-Seok then added to her response, “It felt like we had our own time together. Even when happy, we cry. Every time we do that we feel empty. I wanted to hold on.”
When the host asked whether they were dating or not, Kim Hye-Yoon told Byeon Woo-Seok to answer. However, the actor blushed and said, “No comment,” leaving the audience surprised. Later, the Strong Girl Nam Soon actor sang an Im Sol version of the song that she sang for Tae Seung in the drama. While their offscreen bond in Salon Drip 2 and onscreen chemistry in Lovely Runner remains strong, it remains to be seen if the actors will reveal their relationship status in the future.
Lovely Runner will conclude this upcoming week. Don’t forget to watch the ending of the drama this Monday and Tuesday on tvN at 8:50 p.m. KST.
