TvN‘s hit series Lovely Runner, also known in its extended title Run Away With Sun-Jae On Piggyback, has reached its final episode.

The storyline follows Ryu Seon-Jae (portrayed by Byeon Woo-Seok), a top star since his debut, who presents an ideal lifestyle to the public but internally struggles with the demands of showbiz. Im Sol (Kim Hye-Yoon) is an ardent fan of Ryu Seon-Jae and credits his music with giving her solace after a childhood accident that led her to surrender a dream. In a turn of fate, Im Sol learns of Ryu Seon-Jae’s suicide and is consumed by sorrow. She then discovers herself transported 15 years back, meeting a 19-year-old high schooler Ryu Seon-Jae and endeavors to change his doomed future.
