With tvN‘s Lovely Runner becoming the talk of the town, it looks like actor Byeon Woo Seok has found his career-defining role with his character Ryu Sunjae. In the drama, he showcases great chemistry with not only the female lead Im Sol, played by Kim Hye Yoon, but also with the Eclipse members and his father, Ryu Geun Deok, played by Kim Won Hae.
As netizens began digging up Byeon Woo Seok’s past acting roles, they discovered he played a villain role with his Lovely Runner “father” in a past drama series! The two played the bad guys in the Strong Woman series.
맞아ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이거 내가 선업튀 초반에 언급한 적 있어ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 아들은 시즌2 빌런
아부지는 시즌1 빌런인데 1인 2역하심ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ https://t.co/rg59yxPxki— 더덕 (@hdlover_012486) May 15, 2024
Right, I talked about this at the beginning of this drama. The son is the villain in season two, and the father is the villain in season 1 (he plays dual roles).

And didn’t the father even make a cameo appearance in season two?
Fans found it hilarious at the continuing storyline between the dramas as Byeon Woo Seok’s character name in the drama also had the last name Ryu (Ryu Shi Oh).

Ah, this is fate lol.
With just two weeks left of the drama, fans are already sad that it’s coming to an end. On a brighter note, tvN announced they would be holding a pop-up store in Seoul to thank the fans for the support.
The pop-up store will take place from May 23-May 29 at the The Hyundai Seoul.
