• Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon's wedding look in 'Lovely Runner' sparks familiar vibes

    After the finale of the hit tvN drama 'Lovely Runner' on May 28th, fans are buzzing about the wedding outfits worn by Ryu Sun Jae (played by Byeon Woo Seok) and Im Sol (played by Kim Hye Yoon).

    On May 29th, pictures from tvN surfaced online, showing Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon in their wedding attire.

    People couldn't help but notice the striking similarity between their outfits and those of Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. Some even felt like they were experiencing déjà vu.

    Byeon Woo Seok's white suit and black bowtie look almost identical to what Hyun Bin wore during his wedding photoshoot.

    Similarly, Kim Hye Yoon's sleeveless white wedding dress is eerily similar to Son Ye Jin's gown. This has got fans wondering if it was just a coincidence or a deliberate homage.

    Fans took to social media to express their thoughts. Comments like "I'm getting serious déjà vu vibes," "Are they twins or what?" and "How can they be this alike without copying on purpose?" flooded the feeds. Some even joked, "Let's do another shoot and get married again."

    Many fans are also sad about the end of the series and are hoping for a second season. Some are longing for a Sol-Sun newlywed diary.
