The soundtrack for the popular K-drama Lovely Runner has now reached a major milestone, with the Lovely Runner Pt. 1 OST surpassing 100 million streams on Spotify.
ECLIPSE’s Rise Through ‘Lovely Runner’
In Lovely Runner, the fictional band ECLIPSE, which features Ryu Sun Jae (played by Byeon Woo Seok), has captured fans’ hearts. The band, which includes Baek In Hyuk (played by N.Flying’s Lee Seung Hyub), Hyun Soo (depicted by Moon Xion), and Jay (played by Yang Hyuk), has seen immense popularity. Songs like Sudden Shower and Run Run have contributed to the OST’s success.
Surpassing 100 Million Streams on Spotify
Released alongside the time-slip rom-com series starring Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, the Lovely Runner Pt. 1 OST has reached over 100 million streams on Spotify. This level of success is quite notable, especially for a soundtrack performed by a fictional boy band created just for the show.
Billboard Success for ‘Sudden Shower’
In June 2023, the OST track Sudden Shower even made its way to the Billboard Global 200 chart, reaching the 199th position. This was a rare accomplishment for a K-drama OST, making the track a significant highlight of the series.
Suden Shower is performed by Byeon Woo Seok, portraying the lead vocalist of ECLIPSE. The song carries deep emotional significance in the drama, reflecting on Sun Jae’s first encounter with Im Sol (played by Kim Hye Yoon) on a rainy day under a yellow umbrella. It expresses feelings of longing and unrequited love and has also performed well on platforms like MelOn, accumulating millions of streams globally.
Multiple Versions of the Song in the Drama
The track Sudden Shower appears several times throughout Lovely Runner. Each time, it offers a different emotional impact: from a live performance dedicated to fans, to a 2009 version performed during a competition, and lastly, a poignant moment in the revised 2023 timeline, where Sun Jae recalls the melody after losing his memory.
Plot of ‘Lovely Runner’
Lovely Runner follows the story of Ryu Sun Jae, a celebrity struggling with exhaustion despite his glamorous life. Im Sol, a fan of Sun Jae, finds solace in his music after a childhood accident changes her life. After hearing the tragic news of Sun Jae’s accident, Sol is devastated, only to be transported 15 years into the past to 2008. Now, as a 19-year-old high school student alongside Sun Jae, she vows to change their futures while dealing with the challenges of time travel.
