How To Become A Whole Person

This was actually pretty adorable.

I had watched the first episodes when it was airing, then took a break and revisited it, finishing it in one go.

The humor is cringe and over-the-top, yet sometimes I genuinely howled with laughter. And the leads are so funny and SOOO dorky that sometimes it hurt. 😅

The exboyfriend and girlfriend coming into the story was also handled in a refreshing way, and not a part of the story in a way you'd expect.

It's not much of a romance drama, if you're looking for that; instead, it's more about how to become a healthier version of yourself (not just physically) as a WHOLE PERSON, which results in an added perk of automatically becoming a better boyfriend or girlfriend, which we got to appreciate for slightly longer than one episode.😉 (The way the ML discovered he likes the FL was precious and a very original reveal).

I enjoyed watching Do Hyeong Joong become more human, and the antics and growth arcs of the gym members.

Loved the voice over of the last few minutes of Episode 12 about the stories our bodies tell. I thought that was actually so beautiful!

Cute, cringy, quirky, and super heartfelt. Enjoy!
