Time Walking on Memory (2024)

Both dramas are about one of the leads suddenly dying and the other attempting through time travel to save their life.

Both FLs time travel into the past to save the ML who has died in the present. It's then revealed that the ML was secretly in love with her a long time before she believes they first met.

In both series, he saves the life of one of the characters by time travel.
They have crime, romance and humor.
The character has to go back in time several times.
It takes place in modern times.
A handsome man and a cheerful, lovely girl.

I know these have nothing to do with each other in a sense, but the "time travel" aspect kind of gave me this sense of, if you make the wrong decision someone you love could die. Lovely Runner of course is not a BL, but I found the ending to be more satisfying than 4M.
Also LR has some what if moments to it, while also being a thriller. Not as cinematographic as 4M, but has some comedic moments to make up for that.

Shining for one thing: The movie is a movie while Lovely Runner is a show.
FL travels back in time to save ML.
ML had feelings for the FL from the beginning.
A tragic accident took ML's life.
Everything begins in the school.
Friends turned lovers.

Although they have a different plotline, Kimi ga Kokoro wo Kuretakara reminds me of Lovely Runner in many ways. The same umbrella (although different colors) reference, meeting up when they are older, FL doing the "work" to save ML's life. Those kind of stuff. Anyway, the overall mood of KGKWK is much more melodramatic (despite having many crying scenes in LR too) and there is much more trauma esp in FL end.

In both the dramas FL time travels to past in her high school time.
Both FL has a crush on the male lead .
It's really funny and lovely drama I highly recommend it

in both dramas, the female leads have an injury and are at a low point in their lives when they meet the male lead :)

The ML will fall into a coma, and the FL who wrote the story of the ML who is a character in his book, will enter the space time of his Novel to be able to save him and change his destiny

-time travel
-sorta time loop (ML dies no matter how much the other partner tries to save them)
-butterfly effect (future changes becoz of past actions i.e. there is only one timeline)
-chemistry is good
-romcom

Difference is that Triage a medical drama and shows a more prominent time loop and ML is able to write what happens in each while FL in LR cannot write or say anything about the future to past people.

Although the storylines are very different, the intense longing and protective love that the male lead has for the female lead makes both a feast for Romance Enthusiasts.

The series starts with ambiguous relationship between the leads, the viewers cannot comprehend how these two people would have a future with such dissimilar background. However as the series progresses, viewers find the leads have a deep connection with eachother. Their relationship and the undeniable chemistry between the leads, captivates and enthralls the viewers.

painful past, kind of time travel but not time travel
A story of love and friendship between five high school students from Seoyeon High School.

Lee Ha Min appears like a bright person, but there is also darkness within his mind. Han So Mang is a warm-hearted person, but she is also quite timid. Lee Jae Min is a popular student with a painful past. He is kind to everyone around him. Yoon Bo Mi is a sweet, model student. Choi Jin Young loves playing games. He can seem unfriendly and has a delicate personality.

**Serendipity's Embrace** and **Lovely Runner** share some similarities, making them appealing to fans of both K-dramas. Here are a few points of comparison:

1. **Setting and Themes**:
- Both dramas use a dual timeline, featuring the characters during their high school years and as adults.
- In **Serendipity's Embrace**, there's a time-travel element involving a top star and his fan, who was also his high school crush.
- **Lovely Runner** explores the emotional rollercoaster of a rich heiress and a village boy's unhappy married life, driven by bundled-up emotions¹².

2. **Youth Romance**:
- Both series offer cozy and fluffy youth romance themes, which fans appreciate.
- The characters in both dramas are bright and deeply lovable, and their fears are relatable due to their past experiences or future uncertainties³.

While each drama has its unique twists and turns, these similarities make them enjoyable for viewers who appreciate heartfelt storytelling and emotional connections.

~ This story is also about time travelling
~ The protagonist fall in love with eachother
~ They change their future
~ Interesting storyline
I personally think these shows are quite similar as they include same genre

It is a historical fantasy drama and also has time travelling. A very underrated drama but it is bingeworthy. The ML can time travel and the chemistry between ML and FL is great as well.
