Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

역도요정 김복주 ‧ Drama ‧ 2016 - 2017
Both relationships started as friendship (where the girl is reluctant and the boy pushes him on her) and they liked someone else so first they have to comfort themselves. To get together they need a slow development which gives the scent of real life. (and that is awesome! :))Enrique's and and Joon Hyeong's personality and attitude to life and to their loved person is quite similar. And to be honest, Enrique's smile always reminds me of Joon Hyeong's. It's just adorable <3

Both sports drama with swimming athletes. Both main leads became friends before lovers. They had great chemistry. Light bubbly easy to watch dramas that give you the same feel-good vibes.

Both are sports centric dramas with ensemble casts that round out the story lines. The main couples are really well matched in personalities and are really good friends that eventually become more.

I recently finished the best of you in mind and it reminded me a lot of weightlifting fairy.
they are both knew each other from childhood (but in the best of you they knew each other way longer).
the male lead also does sports.
they are both in university.
overall you'll have a great time watching these dramas.

Not similar in terms of storyline.. like at all
but both dramas give off a "fluffy"/cutesy feel
overall, both are fun and light dramas that you should try ;)

Both have feel-good vibes, a slow burn storyline and a wonderful ensemble cast. Both make you feel like your stress is being washed away with each episode..

- childhood friends
- ML protected her in school (SIW) / FL saved him in school (WFKBJ)
- got separated and met up later again
- constant bickering, funny and ML/FL are very comfortable with each other, start of as friends first
- ML supports FL and encourages her to get better
- sassy and strong FL, want to succeed in a field where there are usually just men
- extremely good looking cast

I think anyone who watched Lovely Us will love WFKBJ since they are both total packages with wonderful female and male lead surrounded with a great friend group. Both will give satisfying endings as it makes you crave for more. Both are one of the best if ever well written youth Asian dramas out there!! Happy watching !

Both dramas represent youth & their problems in adolescent years. In a good way have a lesson about never giving up on dream much as in WFKBJ.
If you can watch Taiwanese dramas, give it a go!!

Both are about young people who are athletes and start out as friends. Although this one is about wrestling.
Recommended by Patricia
Both dramas feature a main female lead who doesnt feel comfortable in her own body.

FL in Socialization is too tall, FL in WFKBJ is too strong. Both are athletes. Message is similar in both: Learn to love youself.

The themes are very different. WLFKBJ focuses on career, coming of age, internal struggles and Uchikare's main theme is the mother-daughter relationship. However, the 'slight romance' in Uchikare is very similar to the romance of WLFKBJ, at least the first half. We have the FL in love/likes someone else in the beginning, the ML knows and despite having feelings for her, he helps her through thick and thin. So anyone who enjoys watching men being total supportive simps, you would probably enjoy the slow-burn of Uchikare.
