Lovely Runner 선재 업고 튀어
A devoted fan travels back in time to save her favorite idol from tragedy — and rewrites both their lives. The word-of-mouth hit that ruled 2024's global fandom conversation.
Why fans make the trip
Suwon's old town became the drama's romantic universe, and the city leaned in: the official tourism board publishes a Lovely Runner walking course. The pedestrian bridge confession and the bus chase are all within one wander of Hwaseong Fortress.
