It emphasizes that you should be in a normal weight (not fat but also not skinny) not because you want to look good, but because you want to be healthy. It also emphasizes that you should have regular exercise along with healthy diet to achieve a healthy body.
They not only show case Kang Joo Eun who want to loose weight to be healthy, but they also give example of Oh Soo Jin that lose weight just for looking good. It’s really interesting to see the difference in them, and you could see the effect of what a difference in diet and reason of losing weight could lead to a very different live style and health effects.
I think the casts are top notch, I love everyone in this. So Ji Sub is great as usuall and ‘dripping in sexy ness’. His interaction with everyone is great. You could see how he was like a brother and father to Jang Joon Sung and Kim Ji Woong. His romance with Joo Eun grows naturally and so believable. I also love his interaction with Manager Min, who act also like a father to him.
Si Minh Ah as Kang Joo Eun is also great. She bring such a positive attitude, ‘I could do anything if I put my mind into it’ is definitely my favorite quote from her. It’s her mantra in life and the reason she could conquer any problem she faced, including losing weight and become healthier.
Love Sung Hoon and Henry Lau, I think this is the first time I see them in a drama. They are so good looking and adorable. I wish they give more background story to Ji Woong. The background story and development for Joon Sung is good.
The music is very romantic which fits in with the story. Nothing that I really love but it’s nice.
I definitely would rewatch this drama again. And everyone should give this drama a try, you would not regret it.

Humorous with lots of heart!
When her boyfriend of 15 years breaks up with her unexpectedly, the FL hires the ML as her personal trainer to help get back in shape & turn her life around.Even though she doesn’t fit society’s {warped} definition of beautiful, the FL remains confident & true to herself. Though she has moments of feeling discouraged because of the negativity around her, she never lets that keep her down. It was really nice to watch a show where the woman knows her worth & doesn’t let anyone push her around. It’s a powerful message that many need to hear.
I liked how the ML didn’t go easy on her, but rather encouraged her to {safely} push her limits. And when he saw her tenacity & drive to succeed, he began seeing her in a whole new light. He never cared about her size, only ever her health. The situations he’d put her in because of his job were quite humorous (but I know if I was in the FL’s shoes I’d have died of embarrassment 🫣)!
Through their journey to get her healthy & their cohabitation to keep her safe, they develop a strong base for their relationship to be built on. Once they become a them, they’re so adorable. Their chemistry is so natural & easy right from the start, I immediately shipped them.
We see them both be each other’s strength. When his old injuries & disease flare up, she’s there to encourage him that he can handle the pain & keep moving forward. When she’s struggling to kick bad habits & overcome health issues, he’s there to keep her on track & remind her she’s worth it. Where one is lacking, the other steps in & helps cover the slack. It’s such a beautiful portrayal of a couple who are truly partners in all things. There’s some real emotional scenes that produce all the feels so be prepared to swoon & get your heartstrings tugged.
Bonus: the bromance is wonderful & worth watching just for them. The “big brother” they’d follow anywhere, the sweet “middle brother” who’s a professional fighter, & the quirky “little brother” who’s constantly speaking in Kenglish (Korean + English) - I loved them so much! And how they include the FL in their tight circle of 3 (now 4) is just *chef’s kiss* 🫠

It’s my second time watching Ji Sub in a drama after Im Sorry I love you which I’ve watched many years ago. I always knew he’s a good actor and can be good looking and that he must have aged. But didnt realize he can be this sexy and good looking still.
I enjoyed seeing the charcters. Not an epic drama but definetly a good watch!

OVERALL A GREAT AND FUN WATCH
Very cute!!!Tbh it made me a little iffy to watch at first because of how heavily it focused on fl weight but I liked the fact he liked her at any weight and was very supportive of her goals. To begin with, No stupid drama, no second female lead the ml refuses to cut off, no toxic mom,grandma, or dad that's trying to ruin the relationship
A VERY CALM WATCH
and ohmygoddd the fl isn't pathetic and lets the main guy walk all over her
...cant say the same abt the second but she wasn't awful
would I watch again?? prob.. so many ppl told me this was their fav n I'm glad I got the chance to watch
0.0 a hot a racy night... omooo so cute
sighh I need more drama friends follow me on ig!! jordydtn

Venus is the boss <3
The love story between the trainer and his mentee begins somewhere during training sessions and coincidental meetings in private time. The scenes with the main characters are cute but not overly too sweet. The focues very much on Kang's obesity and the diseases it caused, as well as on Kim's continued recovery from childhood trauma. Both characters show that you must fight for health and not give up. I felt in love with them becuae of that. Their stubbornness, openness and determination could convince many to exercise - they did convince me!😆 - but not necessarily the sterile and tasteless diet that John Kim follows 😒All the supporting characters, Jang Joon-sung, Kim Ji-woong, Oh Soo-jin and Im Woo-shik, are very diverse and bring freshness to the show and make it more multi-dimensional. They refer to the problems of violence, the happiness that can be achieved in meeting the right people and brotherly love.
The series is not perfect. A few stories could be better presented or explained in more depth like the backgroung of Kim Ji-Woong which remains the great unknown. Despite those flaws, this kdrama is very pleasant and positive to watch! 👌

i really enjoyed the beginning of this drama. i loved the concept and actors, as well as the chemistry between many of them. however, then the cliche train smacked in full force. the scarf scene? ahhh i couldnt even watch it. the singing at the end in front of the grandma? why!? why were many of these scenes necessary? imo the cringe just cheapens the pretty impactful story of weight gain and loss that came before it.
the acting was great and the music was also pretty nice, but i would definitely never watch it again. i watched the last few episodes on a 1.5x speed because 99% of them were filled with flashbacks of the show i literally just sat and watched? like what!? crazy.
the ending also didnt sit too well with me. this guy's future wife greets him, pregnant with twins, and to his concern (and horror) shes regained weight and he drags her away so they can exercise immediately? im sure it was supposed to be comedic, but cmon. what a sour note to leave it on. apparently weight gain is disgusting even when due to literal pregnancy? noted.

Watch this for the beautiful well portrayed romance, but if you're looking for an intricate plot you won't find that, the main point of the show is the couple and their explosive chemistry (they're such an otp!). This is a well executed romcom with some sad parts but nothing too depressing.
I liked how the show promoted being healthy and the most important beauty is the beauty of being healthy inside.
There was a lot of enjoyable romance scenes which were not too cheesy or cringy. There was no annoying love triangle.
The side couple may seem like bad people at first but you'll like them at the end.
The relationship between the three guys was really cute and bromantic.
There were some things I didn't like of course, like when she found out that he was a chaebol and got mad at him for no comprehensive reason or how he didn't want to see her or communicate with her the whole year he was in the hospital and getting treatment, also the last episode was kinda weird and the ending felt a bit rushed but I could overlook that and enjoy the overall show.

I would have to agree with other viewers about the number of flashbacks in this drama. At some point I found myself thinking "yes we know", LOL My favorite drama of 2016 so far.

SOS
This is a nice mature romantic comedy. The 2 leads have sparkling chemistry and ping off each other as all great comedic pairings should! She's strong & feisty, he's sexy with a disability. Not the usual in Kdramas, here male & female are equals.It's so great that Hyperthyroidism is addressed in the show, as a fellow sufferer I can relate. Mr Sexy...SOS!!!
I can tell this series is written by a woman as there is a lot of wish fulfillment going on!
This series could have gone up to 12 episodes & worked. The last 3 eps are fluffy filler not much going on and waaaay too many flashbacks. The OST is top-notch! I'm loving that ringtone very catchy! There are some genuine LOL moments, more at the beginning. But ooh this pairing is too cute & funny.

The very definition of a romantic comedy
I loved this drama so much. The female lead was endearing, the male lead's charm.was devastating and the group of friends is extremely funny.What I liked about the couple was that they didn't act like in most shows with unnecessary drama : they were adults that knew what they wanted. I had fun watching this masterpiece and I rewatched twice since.
The only episode i didnt like was the one in which coachenim is away.
I strongly recommend this, for all my beautiful ladies
