watched this for the 3rd time
i watched this drama for the first time when i was 13, then when i was like 17 (?) and now i'm 22... i had good memories from it because i really liked the couple junghyung and bokjoo were back then. i havent finished it now, but i'm sure that i dont actually like junghyung's character, he's not bad, but he behaves like a child bothering bokjoo any time he can just because he likes her. he is 21 wtf i once read someone saying bokjoo was stupid but i dont actually think so??? idk did they say it because of the things she did just for junghyung's brother?? maybe its childish but he was someone bokjoo likes and love works like that (?)anyway, maybe its a good drama only if we change junhyung character lmao or his attitudes towards bokjoo–

A Heartwarming Journey of Dreams and Friendship
"Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" is a delightful blend of sports and romance, showcasing the journey of a young weightlifter as she navigates her dreams and emotional struggles. The series shines a light on the importance of friendship, perseverance, and self-discovery. With vibrant character development, the chemistry between Kim Bok Joo and Joon Hyung provides heartwarming moments that resonate with viewers. The comedic undertones and heartfelt narratives create a balanced tone, making it both entertaining and inspiring.While some plotlines may feel like filler, the show's overall charm lies in its authentic portrayal of youthful aspirations and the challenges that accompany them. The engaging performances, particularly from the lead actors, draw viewers into Bok Joo's world, making it easy to root for her success. With its captivating storyline and relatable themes, I would rate this series an **8 out of 10** for its impact and enjoyment.

Surprisingly beautiful
I like how Kdrama can take a seemingly boring topic like weightlifting and weave a beautiful love story. It was a very cute story with a lot of SWAG. congratulations to the team. I'm happy I watched this. Sometimes it's good to not read other reviews before watchingI loved the characters both main and side characters. The girls had alot of personalities. The only weakish point was trying to hook up ALL the characters. Some of those subplots were sooooo WEAK. But it's forgiven since overall the story was lovely

As a person, I never used to prefer the RomCom genre, but this series changed that... I was so much in love with my single life and now I have this urge to get in a relationship, I blame this series for it. I have never been so obsessed to review some content before but now I am compelled to let it out.
I would strongly recommend this series, I am sure you won't regret it.

Mood lifter
I have been watching dramas for almost 5 yrs now.Discover this platform recently, and like to share my review.
This drama and the actors made those days when I watched.
I liked the lead how he give support to his partner.
The smooth comedy, romantic gestures, and innocence were very much soothing.
I recommended this drama to those who recently started watching Korean drama.
I forgot to mention the female lead friendship and the trio.
That was also one of the awesome parts of the whole drama.
And their favorite pick-up line is "Do you like Messi ?".

There's not much more to say. If you like heartwarming and feel-good romances and also like the premise of sports stuff happening as a "side dish", then Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - or in short WFKBJ - is definitely for you. I don't know if there's that much of a rewatch potential in romance shows, so I kinda rated that a bit low. The music was fine but not overwhelmingly good.

A very youthful drama.
This is one of my favourite dramas. I am writing this review after I watched it for the second time. It is just that good.I really love the story of how Bokjoo and Junhyung knew each other in the past. The way Junhyung calls Bokjoo 'Chubs' is the cutest thing ever.
What really adds to the cutestness was the fact that the actors Nam Joohyuck (Junhyung) and Lee Sungkyung (Bokjoo) had actually dated while filming this drama.
Keeping that in mind, they made the on screen romance so perfect. Their moments before and after dating were so cute. I would say that the trope for this drama would be 'Long lost friends to lovers'
This drama is fantastic.

The only thing I didn't buy was how they tried to make us believe that Kim Bok Joo was in any way ugly or "fat", but that's a given in narratives like this.
The relationship is truly so, so cute. It made me smile from ear to ear all throughout. I love everything about this romance, even the way the ML kept pestering the FL at the beginning lmao.
They had everything!!!!

This drama is what truly got me into k-dramas as a whole. This was the first k-drama I ever watched beside squid game. I watched all 16 episodes in a day which is absolutely crazy, I dont know what I was on back in 2021 but girl I must have enjoyed it to say the least. I will forever cherish this drama and will never forget how much of a masterpiece this is.(As I haven't watched this in like 4 years I don't exactly know what to rate it but from what I remember it was a 10/10 so...)

The actors that played the characters overall did an amazing job and the whole entire crew basically did amazing. I found this to cliche but not at the same time love story wise its quite similar to other love stories but the characters are not what you would expect in a typical love story its honestly amazing!
ALSO EVERYONE THAT FINISHED IT CAN WE JUST ALL TOGETHER SAY SWAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG XD

Solid show
Although the overall romance is quite typical and normal, I really liked the individual stories for Bok-joo and Junhyung. I understand why this is so many people's comfort show because it's a casual, light-hearted show that has a okay storyline. Now I am not saying the overall storyline is bad in anyway, it may not ba as interesting to people who are looking for staggerimg, story changing plot twists. Overall, if your looking for something to recover your trauma from and bad-ending kdrama, then check this out!Was this review helpful to you?
