Recently, fans have been buzzing about episode 16 of Lovely Runner, which featured multiple adlibs by Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon. The excitement among fans quickly went viral as they discovered these spontaneous moments. Even after concluding on May 28th, the series continues to reveal new details, with fans eagerly diving into script books and behind-the-scenes footage. 

Lovely Runner’s episode 16 adlibs

Based on a popular web novel written by Lee Si Eun, the writer of True Beauty, Lovely Runner is a time-slip romance drama that poses the intriguing question: "What would you do if you could save your ultimate bias?" Kim Hye Yoon stars as Im Sol, a devoted fan devastated by the death of her favorite star, Ryu Sun Jae (played by Byeon Woo Seok), who travels back in time to alter his fate.

In episode 16, we finally witness Sun Jae and Im Sol finding their way back to each other, beginning a joyful life together. With the passing of Kim Young Soo (played by Heo Hyung Kyu), Sun Jae regains his memories. As an actor, he secretly goes on dates with Im Sol, who, as an aspiring director, quits her job to pursue her own project. 

There's a cute scene where Im Sol stays overnight at Sun Jae's house after working on her current project, and we see them cuddling together in the morning. During this intimate moment, many of the interactions were ad-libbed by Byeon Woo Seok alongside Kim Hye Yoon, adding a natural and heartfelt touch to the scene.

Later, as she prepares to leave for work, Sun Jae jokingly pleads for "30 more minutes," pulling a blanket over them as they share a giggling moment and drift back to sleep. Fans were delighted to learn that these spontaneous interactions were ad-libs by Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, which added to the scene's charm.

The genuine reaction and chemistry between the actors added warmth and authenticity to the scene, further delighting fans.
