Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (2016)

Comfort Drama for Youth

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo is such a comfort drama! I was feeling very down past few weeks , rewatched it for fourth time,still felt refreshed...
This drama always made me so happy about life and friendship! This is pure show
Specially the end quote:

"Everyone has a youth. A time that’s more beautiful because it’s awkward and clumsy, a time that shines brilliantly. A time when you’re not afraid of anything because you have nothing to lose, and a time when you’re excited because you can have anything, everything. That’s now, age 24, my youth. Although I’m still uneasy and nervous, I’m perfect without needing anything else.” - Kim Bok Joo

Other shows I have rewatched for this reasons are Home Town Cha Cha Cha and Whats wrong with secretary kim ,but those show have different aspect and genre caveat. This show resonate more with you when you recently graduated...

So nice

There is really nothing i can complain about. This was such a nice lighthearted show and it delivered exactly what i was expecting.

Story:
Really refreshing story with athletic theme. The fact that this show avoided some of the notoric korean cliche is great to see.
Acting/cast:
Both ML and FL were great. I really liked all of the characters personality and there were not really annoying characters. Maybe the second lead character (Si Ho) could have been little bit more resolved in the end but i didnt really cared about her that much.
Music:
I love when some of the music in the show get stuck in my mind. " From Now On" is such a good happy song!

Overall - NICE

I can see why so many loved and rated this show so high because its completely justified. This was an unexpected treat to watch and I binged on it for three days wondering what would be happening next. The first three episodes are really strong in the premise and sets up what to expect. The first half is really good while the second half is faster paced but not by much. Sixteen episodes was the right call. I know others would want it longer or even shorter but what was shown was enough.

This lighthearted drama had so many good intentions within that its difficult to find a fault in the execution. The acting was great. LSK has shown great range in the roles she's taken so far. The OST is very good and the story is very much like a fairy tale which may lead back to its name choice, Weightlifting Fairy.

The theme of self-worth is present. Some have too much and others don't have enough but it's a very good message to get across because you give as much as you get. All these characters understand that and in the ever-hectic world of kdramas, it's very rare for that to happen. There's a sense of empathy and compassion throughout and it's very infectious.

Even if you're not the biggest sports fanatic, I'd recommend a viewing or two.

COMFORT DRAMA

This review is overdue .
since a little bit after it finished I began to watch it and ever since then I haven’t stopped watching it .
It’s definitely my comfort drama and I love it so much. Her struggles with her femininity really spoke to me a lot back then. Years later I am now a different person who’s totally okay with being feminine. Their chemistry and just the fact that they really supported each other melted my heart. The vulnerability and knowing that you didn’t have to be perfect. I recommend to everyone to not skip on watching this. If I could rewatch this like it’s my first time again I would not pass on the chance !

One of my absolute favorite shows. It has a special place in my heart.

This is the first K-Drama I watched after taking a looong break. It's so simple yet so freakin' good. The fate of the universe as we know it isn't at stake, no companies, not even lives. It's just a story about people living and experiencing things that I can really relate to.

Weightlifting Fairy just touches on a lot of stuff that I've had to go through. The way Bok-joo struggles with self-love and confidence really struck a chord in me, probably because I, too, am an insecure college student. Despite that, I love how the show says that Bok-joo should stop pitying herself so much, and in a way say that acceptance really has to come from herself.

The relationships (both friendly and romantic) that they built in this show were really heartwarming. Bok-joo and Joon-hyung have such a nice, healthy relationship and dynamic, and I love how they grow as the show progresses. They just make each other better, and let each other feel safe. I also love how there isn't any super unnecessary drama that I can find annoying (except for the last episode, but it's whatever they were probably running out of ideas lol).

The OST slaps and the comedic moments really hit. When I first watched it, I thought it was paced very well. But upon rewatching I learned that things can move quite slowly, which I guess was kind of a choice? Irdk

Overall, I love this drama so much. It's fun and light, definitely recommend it.

(This is just my opinion, no one's obligated to care about it. I just needed to talk about dramas somewhere :')

This was one amazing drama!!!! After 2 episodes, I was completely hooked. The energetic storyline, interesting characters, funny scenes and amazing osts. When I first heard of this drama, I thought that it would have lots of cliché's but turns out it was so far from that. The drama focuses on the life of college students, friendship, youth, the campus life of college students and romance without overpower everything which was great. The main lead, Joon Hyung was very kind, playful, sweet and caring even at the beginning of the drama instead of being a big jerk like other leads. The other lead, Bok Joo had an adorable personality even though she was a weightlifter. I really liked seeing them become friends and falling in love with each other. As they were together in the drama, Joon Hyung and Bok Joo's chemistry was out of this world as if they were really dating!! Two of the scenes that stuck with me was when Bok Joo and her friends were at the cafeteria and Bok Joo found Joon Hyung with his friends and girls and she came out saying that she was Joon Hyung's girlfriend....and her Bok Joo's friend's reactions were priceless 😂😂😂😂. The last scene was when Bok Joo and Joon Hyung was walking by the sidewalk and water splashed (bcz of a truck / car) and the water was about to hit them so Joon Hyung used Bok Joo as a sheild 😂😂😂😂. This was so fun to watch and would recommend anyone to watch it.

ligera y divertida

me encanta, la química entre los protagonistas es inmaculada!! me encantó la historia de principio a fin y amé la personalidad de la protagonista. también me encantó como el protagonista la seguía a todos lados y la buscaba siempre.
a diferencia de la mayoría de los que han visto este drama yo no odie al personaje de shiho, tal vez fue porque la entendí muy bien y aunque no justificó sus acciones entiendo el porqué hizo lo que hizo y la presión que tenía, y me gustó mucho el desarrollo que tuvo su personaje porque al final ella no era mala, solo tenía problemas que resolver, lo único que no me gustó fue que no le dieran un cierre apropiado a su historia pero fuera de eso este drama es muyyy bueno
