Knock Out knocked me out — in the best way!
I’m usually quite picky, but Knock Out completely won me over. It had a perfect mix of emotion, action, and atmosphere, with a Muay Thai setting that felt unique and meaningful.What I loved most was the main couple’s dynamic. Once they got together, they stayed solid — no unnecessary drama, no love triangles, no dragged-out misunderstandings. Just two people truly supporting each other and working through problems together. Their communication was mature and refreshing, and the chemistry between the leads was genuinely moving. The side couple was also lovely and added warmth to the story.
The cinematography was stunning, and the music really stood out — the main theme is already on my Spotify. Each episode made my Fridays brighter, and I already miss this show.
If you're tired of repetitive tropes and want something that feels honest, tender, and exciting — Knock Out is a must-watch. I truly hope to see these actors again soon.

I wanted to start watching this drama because of the cast since I loved Goblin. But at first, I was skeptical as I don´t like stories with actress/actor characters but I said I will survive it. And I don´t regret it.The drama is light, romantic and funny. It´s perfect for sitting on the bed and let the story wash over you. I liked the main couple and enjoyed them getting together. Choi and Dan couple was great, too. I totally adored them and thanks to them I laughed so much. And after the main couple broke up they were the only reason I finished it.
This drama wasn´t perfect but acting, the story is good and I enjoyed it.
(And one additional star for this drama since it doesn´t have second male lead chasing after the female and her choosing between two males, hooray!)

My favorite character number 1 was definitely Ki Bong. Then (of course) Yoo Ri, Joon Ki (and Rebecca).
Joon Ki was great as always, his laugh is still the best and with Jung Eun had an enjoyable story. Then there was Woo Shik and Soo Yeon. Even from the start, her character annoyed me so I wasn´t surprised that through whole drama I didn´t grow fond of her. However, I liked Woo Shik, I found their relationship story boring and skipped most of their scenes. And now my most beloved couple Ki Bong and Yoo Ri: they were so adorable, perfect, cute,... and I loved their ending.
In conclusion, this drama made me laugh, cry and adore Ki Bong & Yoo Ri couple, and I really liked it.
