I have a bone to pick with the Lovely Runner fandom.
I wish Sol's pain was more acknowledged.
Sol's loneliness at having sacrificed everything is glossed over, and it should be talked about more.
The way people talk abt Sun-jae as though he's the only that cares and waited for Im-sol annoys me when the whole drama literally revolves around the fact that she will do anything to keep him safe. Including go through her heartbreak over and over for such a long, long time without breathing a word of it to anyone because how could she explain anyway? The only two people who (sun-jae and tae-sung) have their memories erased.
Sol goes through so much. Loses her idol and then loses him again as the love of her life again and again and still has the resilience to be a bright, lovely person who fails and then tries again and again to keep him safe. And then ultimately wins at another price. "Happiness comes at a cost", her brother had said. And she knew he was right because she was already paying hers.
I'm not saying that Sun-jae wouldn't have done the same. He definitely would have and he loves her just as much. It's just, Sol's sacrifice, as well as Kim Hye Yoon's amazing acting is a little less recognised and underappreciated for my taste. People went crazy over BWS and Sun-jae and I get that it's mostly a heterosexual female fandom or whatever but how can you not appreciate Sol just as much? Would Sun-jae have fallen for just anyone? The first thing that drew him to her was that she was kind when she didn't have to be. And we saw her do it again and again.
As for Hye Yoon, especially calling back to how her fellow actors (BWS and Seo-hye won mentioned her bright personality on set despite her scenes being the most emotional and heavy, with physical stress as well wrt all the "wet scenes" that involved water and constant crying. Reducing her to bws' girlfriend as I've seen edits do is so disappointing when this is an actress who's delivered her best and then some. An actress that everyone, including BWS, is in awe of, for a reason.
