However, ‘Lovely Runner’ was not first expected to be a big hit in the Korean content market, which surprised a lot of people. Producing it took a good three years. A lot of male performers declined roles in the drama because they believed it was about an unfulfilled romantic relationship involving a K-pop fan.
Until Byun Woo Seok ultimately made the decision to join the cast for production, casting for the lead role was difficult.
A netizen clarified, saying, “The writer always had Kim Hye Yoon in mind when writing the script. She said it had to be Kim Hye Yoon no matter what. The male actors all turned down the role but then Byun Woo Seok accepted the role. He was cast after the director saw ’20th Century Girl’.”
Netizens from Korea said:
“The casting is so crazy.”
“This drama is so fun.”
“This was really meant to be.”
“The casting was perfect.”
“I’m so happy that Byun Woo Seok is Sun Jae and Kim Hye Yoon is Sol.”
“I love their acting.”
