Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

This is one of the best rom-com Kdramas in 2016. The leading couple Lee Sung-Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk is like eye candy to watch. Such a well matched on screen couple and the chemistry between the two are so good that their acting appears to be flawless.

The flow of the story is great. Unlike in most Korean dramas where the plot makes a twist in the last 1-2 episode, this drama gradually develops to a predictable, yet well-suited ending.

The drama tries to portray real hardships and situations faced by athletes who are majoring various sports like weightlifting, swimming and gymnastics in Sports Universities.

This drama is definitely recommended as a stress reliever and fun to watch.

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.

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.

I love nam joo hyuk and lee song-kyoung's chemistry they look so good together you just want them to end up in real life because OTP. I love the flow of the story because it's not really that complicated it's like something that is just happening in real life which is really good. I recommend this you won't regret.

Kdrama at its dependable; romantic, cute, uplifting.
