In the midst of the fervor surrounding tvN's latest hit drama "Lovely Runner," fans have stumbled upon a revelation that has sent shockwaves through the K-Drama community.

It appears that the on-screen chemistry between lead actors Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Won Hae, who portray father and son respectively, extends far beyond the realms of their current roles.

As eagle-eyed netizens delved into the actors' past projects, they unearthed a surprising truth: Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Won Hae had previously shared the screen as villains in the acclaimed series "Strong Woman."

The duo, known for their impeccable performances, had portrayed antagonistic characters, adding a layer of complexity to their on-screen reunion in "Lovely Runner."

Here's what fans are saying:

•  "I never would've imagined that Ryu Sunjae and Ryu Geun Deok were once adversaries in another drama! It just goes to show the depth of talent these actors possess."
• "The chemistry between Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Won Hae in 'Lovely Runner' is undeniable, but knowing they've shared the screen before adds a whole new dimension to their performances. It's like uncovering a hidden treasure!"
• 'Ah, this is fate lol.'

What adds an extra layer of amusement to this revelation is the continuity in character names across the two dramas. Byeon Woo Seok's character in "Lovely Runner" bears the surname Ryu, mirroring his role as Ryu Shi Oh in "Strong Woman." This coincidence, or perhaps fate as some fans jest, has sparked a flurry of humorous observations online.

"It's like the universe conspired to bring these characters together again," mused one fan, while another quipped, "Who knew that the name Ryu held such significance in the K-Drama universe? It's like a saga unfolding before our eyes!"

Amidst the excitement surrounding the unfolding drama, tvN has announced a special treat for devoted fans. In a gesture of gratitude for their unwavering support, the network will be hosting a pop-up store in Seoul, offering exclusive merchandise and opportunities for fan meetups.

Scheduled to take place from May 23 to May 29 at The Hyundai Seoul, the pop-up store promises to be a haven for enthusiasts eager to immerse themselves in the world of "Lovely Runner" and celebrate the captivating performances of its talented cast.
