Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

This is one of my favorite shows of all time. The main couple is so lovey dovey and adorable. The entire cast is so good. I love this because of the simplicity of the plot. It's nothing complex. It's about college kids and their everyday situations. I've always liked Nam Joo Hyuk, he is so charming here. The chemistry between the main couple would definitely make you ship them. I watch this drama whenever I'm having a bad day or hard time. It cheers me up every time. Anyone wondering whether to start this or not, I 100% recommend that you won't regret your time.

Kdrama at its dependable; romantic, cute, uplifting.

I really got hooked at kdrama more after watching this. I love the soundtrack and the plot is so simple but its unique though I know that this is based on a true story. I love the chemistry between the leads ( so sad they broken up), the friends, the teachers and the uncle is so funny. The female lead has always been casted as a villain or a bad girl. It is so refreshing that she did this role. It truly suits her and her acting is good.

Enjoyable from start to finish this series features extremely likeable actors and characters and laugh out loud funny dialogue. Set in a sports college, the romance and struggles of athletes in weightlifting gymnastics and swimming is quite enjoyable to watch. Lee Sung-kyung is obviously too slim to be a weightlifter but her performance is so charming that it doesn't matter that physically she is too pretty. She makes this character a gem and you feel her insecurities about her physical appearance and her struggles as an athlete. Nam Joo Hyuk acts well with more range than in Start Up and is suited looks wise to his role as a swimmer in love with her. They have funny banter and great chemistry. An enjoyable aspect here is the good people that surround them. His family including his nice brother is supportive and hers is too. There are some serious issues too like eating disorders and stuff but overall it's a light hearted show. Highly recommended.

One of the best thing I have ever seen,well written and executed,great performances from the female lead and very good supporting casts ,one best of quality works south korea has to offer.
