Nearing its halfway mark, the show has become an undeniable source of serotonin to viewers across the globe. It's shaping up to be the perfect pick-me-up for the start of the week.

It follows the story of Ryu SeonJae (Byeon WooSeok), a dearly beloved celebrity who has mesmerized since his debut. He meets Im Sol (Kim HyeYoon), his dedicated supporter who was comforted and healed through SeonJae's music. After something tragic happens to Ryu SeonJae, Im Sol finds herself thrust back 15 years in the past where she meets SeonJae's 19-year-old self as a fellow schoolmate. She makes every effort to alter the future and ultimately save him from a tragic fate.

A Welcomed Comeback
tvN
Prior to the premiere of "Lovely Runner", Kim HyeYoon was absent from the K-Drama space for nearly three years. But now that she's returned to television screens, fans can't help but express their joy all across social media far and wide. Audiences are glad to once again witness Kim HyeYoon's naturally bright demeanor that also reveals itself through her portrayal of Im Sol. Moving back and forth between past and present, the actress shows that she's a master at her craft, a quality that has been worked on and refined since her humble debut.
The time she's spent away from the limelight certainly did not take away from her skills whatsoever, as she's still extremely skilled while remaining a much needed source of sunshine behind the scenes. Her ability to switch between the two modes speaks to her ability as an actress and that even a small break cannot deter her from putting on the best performance possible, immersing fans into yet another award-winning hit.

Her comeback with Im Sol seemed like the perfect move, as the character truly feels like an extension of Kim HyeYoon's sunshine-like persona herself. However, she's also able to make audiences feel crushingly sad heartache, a fear of losing someoen you love, and a hesitancy that would prevent anyone from acting upon their heart. Kim HyeYoon makes you sympathize for her character, while also hoping she doesn't lose her dazzling shine.
A Storied Career That Elevated Her Status As An Actress
Kim HyeYoon made her official debut through "Samsaengi" in 2013 and in the following year, gained attention for her appearance in "Bad Guys". And while some might think this is where the actress truly hits the ground running and she decides to shift her focus towards academics, attending the prestigious Konkuk University. While attending school, she was able to procure numerous guest roles in widely recognized dramas. Some of these series include "Doctors", "The Legend Of The Blue Sea", "Goblin", and "Let's Eat Season 3". While she participated in smaller roles, audiences quickly became accustomed to seeing Kim HyeYoon on the screen, excited for the moment she'll receive her big break.
After finally finishing her schooling, Kim HyeYoon was ready to audition for bigger roles. The first role that she landed in pursuing this endeavor was as Kang YeSeo in the highly acclaimed "Sky Castle".
Unlike the bright and bubbly Kim HyeYoon that we're so accustomed to, Kang YeSeo's academic excellence served as a double-edged sword which became even harsher under the pressure of her highly critical parents and pressure to achieve perfection. "Sky Castle" showed the dark side of the education system and how many students are pushed to the point of exhaustion in order to enter one of the most prestigious universities in South Korea.

Netizens continue to show "Sky Castle" favorably interest even in the past year when countless more series have premiered to raving success. Shortly afterwards, she was able to land yet another memorable main role in "Extraordinary You" (2018), which featured a cast of then rising stars in RoWoon, Lee JaeWook, Lee NaEun, Kim YoungDae, Jung GunJoo, and Lee TaeRi. Kim HyeYoon's acting was spectacular throughout the series. Then there was her chemistry with RoWoon that created waves of butterflies all throughout your stomach.
Even in the past year, it continues to remain a dearly beloved series among the K-Drama community worldwide as they continue to show it interest until today.
