Welcome to my channel, let's practice your listening skill.
2
With video level B2, and the topic is Lovely Runner.
3
Now listen carefully.
4
Anna, why do you look so emotional today?
5
Your eyes are literally red.
6
Because I just finished a Korean drama last night, and honestly, I still can't move on from it.
7
Another sad love story.
8
Not just a love story.
9
This one was crazy.
10
It had time travel, fate, murder, sacrifice, everything.
11
But the emotional part was what destroyed me.
12
Okay, now I'm interested.
13
Tell me the story.
14
All right.
15
The female lead's name was Sophie Miller.
16
Back in 2008, she was involved in a terrible accident and became completely unable to walk.
17
She fell into depression and almost gave up on life.
18
One night, while she was crying alone, she accidentally received a phone call from a radio program.
19
Wait, accidentally?
20
Yes.
21
And the person speaking to her was a young idol singer named Ryan Sun.
22
At that time, he had just debuted and wasn't super famous yet.
23
So he saved her with words.
24
Exactly.
25
He spoke to her so sincerely, he told her life was still worth living and begged her not to give up.
26
Those words became the reason she continued living.
27
Then, time passed.
28
In 2022, Sophie became Ryan's biggest fan.
29
She followed all his concerts and loved him deeply because he was the person who saved her life emotionally.
30
Let me guess, something bad happened.
31
Yeah.
32
After one concert, Ryan suddenly died at a hotel.
33
What?
34
Everyone thought it was just a normal death at first.
35
But Sophie was completely broken.
36
While crying outside, she accidentally found Ryan's old watch.
37
And that's where the time travel starts.
38
Exactly.
39
The moment she touched the watch, time stopped completely, and she suddenly traveled back to 2008.
40
But the first thing she realized was even more emotional.
41
Her legs could move again.
42
Oh, my God.
43
She was so happy, she cried immediately.
44
Then she rushed to find Ryan before his tragic future happened.
45
What was Ryan like back then?
46
Totally different.
47
He wasn't an idol yet.
48
He was a talented swimming athlete in high school.
49
Wait, so before becoming a singer, he was a swimmer.
50
Yeah, and he was actually really popular at school too.
51
Tall, handsome, athletic, good at everything.
52
But the saddest thing is Ryan had secretly liked Sophie for years in the original timeline.
53
But she never knew.
54
No way.
55
Yes.
56
He had been watching her quietly all this time.
57
Meanwhile, Sophie traveled back only thinking about saving his life.
58
She knew that in the future, he would get a serious shoulder injury from swimming, so she tried everything to stop him.
59
Did he listen to her?
60
Not really.
61
And every time she tried to explain future events, time suddenly froze around her.
62
Like the universe didn't allow spoilers.
63
Exactly.
64
but she still managed to change some things.
65
She even prevented house fire and saved her mother from getting burned.
66
So the timeline slowly changed.
67
Yeah, and during that time, she and Ryan became closer and closer.
68
One night after drinking, Sophie accidentally kissed him, and Ryan was completely in love already.
69
But before anything more could happen, the watch suddenly activated again and pulled her back to 2023.
70
That's cruel.
71
And it became even worse.
72
When she returned to the future, Ryan was still dead.
73
So changing the past didn't save him?
74
No. Then she discovered something terrifying.
75
What?
76
The man who caused her accident years ago, and also the person responsible for Ryan's death, was actually the same person.
77
Wait, seriously?
78
Yeah, a crazy taxi driver named Daniel Kim.
79
He was basically a serial criminal.
80
And Sophie also remembered something else.
81
On the night of her original accident, Ryan was actually the one who jumped into the water to save her.
82
So he had been protecting her from the very beginning.
83
Exactly.
84
And because she knew Ryan would keep risking his life for her, she decided to push him away intentionally.
85
To protect him?
86
Yeah.
87
She rejected his feelings in the coldest way possible, even though she loved him deeply.
88
That must have hurt both of them so much.
89
It did.
90
But Ryan loved her too much to stay away.
91
Even after being rejected, he still tried to save her from the kidnapper.
92
Please don't tell me he got hurt again.
93
He did.
94
He got stabbed and fell off a cliff while protecting her.
95
Anna, this drama is emotionally violent.
96
I know.
97
That's exactly how I felt.
98
So what happened after that?
99
Sophie completely broke down.
100
She realized that as long as Ryan knew her, he would always sacrifice himself for her.
101
So she made another time travel.
102
Yeah, her final one.
103
She went all the way back to the very first moment they almost met. And then?
104
She avoided him completely.
105
She made sure they never talked, never became friends, never fell in love.
106
That's actually heartbreaking.
107
Imagine loving someone so much that you erase yourself from their life.
108
Exactly.
109
And in the new timeline, Ryan grew up safely.
110
He became an extremely famous actor and singer.
111
But he forgot her.
112
Completely.
113
Meanwhile, Sophie could walk normally and followed her dream of becoming a movie writer and director.
114
The saddest part is that even without memories, Ryan still dreamt about her sometimes.
115
Because deep down, his heart still remembered her.
116
Yes.
117
One day, he read a script written by Sophie based on their entire story, and suddenly he started crying without understanding why.
118
Then fate slowly brought them back together again through work.
119
They kept meeting each other accidentally.
120
Destiny really refused to let them separate.
121
Exactly.
122
Then one day, Ryan accidentally touched the old watch again.
123
And all the memories came back.
124
Every single timeline, every sacrifice, every moment they loved each other, everything hit him at once.
125
He immediately ran through the snow, searching for Sophie.
126
Please tell me they reunited.
127
They did, on a snowy bridge.
128
Ryan hugged her tightly and cried while saying he finally remembered everything.
129
And at the same time, the killer finally died while escaping from the police.
130
So the nightmare truly ended forever.
131
Finally, some peace.
132
The ending was so beautiful.
133
Sophie successfully made her first movie, and Ryan prepared a romantic proposal under cherry blossom trees.
134
That sounds like a perfect ending after all that suffering.
135
It really was.
136
After losing each other again and again through different timelines, they finally got their happy ending.
137
Honestly, the story sounds sad, but also really comforting.
138
Because at the center of everything, it's just about one thing.
139
What?
140
Loving someone so deeply that even time, memories, and fate cannot separate you forever.
141
Wow.
142
Okay, I understand now why you cried.
143
I cried so hard, my pillow almost drowned.
144
Dramatic.
145
Says the person who cried watching a dog movie last month.
146
Okay, fair enough.
147
Anna, why do you look so emotional today?
148
Your eyes are literally red.
149

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
