“Pump Up the Healthy Love”
As of episode 4, I’m struggling to stay optimistic about this show. While it’s marketed as a health-themed romantic comedy, what we’ve gotten so far feels more like a shallow excuse to promote toxic body standards—especially through the male lead’s constant flexing and fat-shaming behavior. His character isn’t just unlikable; cringe-worthy obsession with his own muscles and an arrogant attitude that makes it hard to root for him.
That said, the bright spot in all this is the female lead. She brings some much-needed humor and charm to the screen, and her comedic timing keeps the show from being a total flop. Alex’s character also adds a bit of balance and groundedness to the chaos.
But again, it’s too early to tell… maybe the writers have a redemption arc in mind. Here’s hoping they do more than just flex it out.
