WEIGHTLIFTING FAIRY KIM BOK JOO
CAST: LEE SUNG KYUNG (Kim Bok Joo)
NAM JOO HYUK (Jung Joon Hyung)
LEE JAE YOON (Jung Jae Yi)
KYUNG SOO JIN (Sung Shi Ho)
GENRE : SPORTS, ROMANTIC- COMEDY
Well I've been planning to do this review from a long time but it seems to be the correct time to do it.
So its a very real and relatable story which has no fancy k-drama syndromes such the rich guy poor girl track, amnesiac episodes or separation chapters. It's just a sweet , simple and cute story which we all can highly relate to.
First of all there is Lee Sung Kyung who surprised us with her acting versatility. As earlier she has only done the chic, badass and bubbly characters like in Cheese In The Trap, It's Ok Thats Love and Doctors. It was really difficult to recall her in those roles while watching her as Bok Joo a girl next door. She is the queen of expressions.
Same goes with Nam Joo Hyuk. Where earlier we have seen him in many high school student roles may that be in School 2015 or the AKMU's MVs but seeing him playing a matured adult is a treat.
So as the name says, Kim Bok Joo, raised by her single father is a weightlifting student of an athletic institute . One day while hanging out with her squad, She gets bumped into a swimmer guy named Jung Joon Hyung who later discovers that Bok Joo is his childhood friend whom he had a huge crush on and starts teasing her by calling "chubs".
In this drama there are many things to adore like the friendship among Bok Joo and her two besties Nan Hee and Sun Ok , the unity of the weightlifting department. It gives you major squad goals. Even the friendship shared by Bok Joo and Joon Hyung is so awwwwdorable and real that it'll make you long for your guy best friend . So the growth of their relationship from being frenemies to lovers is a sweet period to witness.
There are many instances in the drama which are very much relatable. Say, when Bok Joo had a crush on the Doctor Jae Yi , her expressions then were like every single girl who melts infront of her crush. Or may be, when she gets caught up by Joon hyung and finds that her crush is non other than Joon Hyung's elder brother. Or that awkward moment when Joon Hyung shows his feelings to Bok Joo while they hang out in the amusement park. In an episode, you can see how real she acted when Joon Hyung saw her with the pimple. One must not forget to appreciate the shocking expressions shown by the squad members when they got to know about the relationship of Bok Joo and Joon Hyung.
The support, care, love and concern Joon Hyung shows for his girlfriend will give you such boyfriend goals that you won't ever get over it. Not only he supports her as his girl but also as a fellow athlete. Instances when he assures her that its ok for her to have rough hands as she is a weightlifter or when he keeps the secret of Bok Joo's father's surgery from her because he didn't want her to mess with her championship.
When it comes to the drama, the supporting characters are equally good. The love track between the doctor couple or the unexpected couple Tae Kwon and Sun Ok were equally shipped by the audience and gained popularity. The best thing about the drama is that there's no negative character in here. And when it comes to Sung Shi Ho, if You observe her, she was not a bad person. Whatever she did with Joon Hyung was all under a circumstance. Athough many of her actions were unjustified but still you get emotional while seeing her failing again and again in her competitions. It hurts when you fail because your body has reached to its limits and all your sacrifices are becoming a waste infront of your eyes.
Well Korean dramas are always incomplete without the cameos..Here also you can see cameos like Lee Jong Suk, Ji Soo, Kim Seul Gi, Seohyun and many more.
Coming to the OSTs, it has such a lovely track of OST which makes you happy and energised. One will really fall for them. They are like magic which will make you want to fall in love. Here's one for you.
and a bonus!!
In short it's a cute and simple story which will make your heart flutter.
