Actor Byeon Woo-seok is experiencing the hottest period of his career since his debut and has emerged as a top star.

Byeon Woo-seok's tvN drama "Lovely Runner" has been overwhelming from the start.

If he showed a new charm of a villain as the sexy villain Lucio in his previous work JTBC's "Gangnam Beauty", in "Lovely Runner", Byeon Woo-seok goes further and announces the birth of a rom-com king by opening a new horizon in romantic comedies.

His pure and clear visuals, exciting chemistry, and realistic acting shone through without fail.

In addition, the time-slip and two-way salvation romance narrative maximized the genre's pleasure and exploded the viewers' response.

In just 5 episodes, it topped the TV-OTT drama buzz rankings as well as the upper ranks of the cast buzz rankings, captivating the viewers. Let's look at the exciting points of Byeon Woo-seok who has captured the audience.

- First love memory manipulation visuals

From Netflix's "20th Century Girl" and the movie "Soulmate" to Ryu Seon-jae in "Lovely Runner", the representative face of youth, the youth romance unfolded with the school uniform he wore again was on a different level.

In particular, the time-slip narrative added to his pure and clear face was well-received, completing a youthful character with a different charm from his previous works that were greatly loved.

Also, his kind but somehow distant atmosphere that evokes memories doubled the charm of the character Ryu Seon-jae.

This is why the story of Ryu Seon-jae in 2008, portrayed by Byeon Woo-seok who embodies the romance genre, is even more eagerly anticipated.

Kind but poignant. Chemistry completed with eye contact

Byeon Woo-seok previously revealed his extraordinary determination at the production presentation, saying,

"I want to earn the title of 'rom-com genius'." His acting in his return to romance was successful and turned expectations into certainty.

Ryu Seon-jae's gaze towards Im Sol is always warm and even evokes poignant emotions. His acting expressing his clumsy and exciting feelings as it's his first time was also perfect.

With his gentle eyes and delicate gestures towards Im Sol, Byeon Woo-seok is completing the chemistry of the Sol-Seon couple

- Ability to portray characters that feel more real than reality

Im Sol time-slips to the past to save her favorite Ryu Seon-jae. However, it is revealed that Ryu Seon-jae from the past liked Im Sol first, and there was a heated response to Ryu Seon-jae's one-sided love.

From the lovely confession with a sorrowful heart to the innocent appearance conveying the excitement of the first date, the emotions created by Byeon Woo-seok were high school student Ryu Seon-jae himself.

Moreover, the despair and pain felt when he had to give up his lifelong dream of swimming, and the tears shed during the conversation with his father were aspects that a student of that age would show, adding tremendous immersion and

making the viewers completely absorbed in the drama.

"Lovely Runner" airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM on tvN.
