it’s.. okay!
Finished this last week and finally getting around to making this. Weightlifting fairy Bok joo is a remarkably unremarkable show. They set up all these things to make this a super dramatic show at first just for it all to be insignificant really by like episode 9 .The love triangle falls apart when Bok Joo gets caught for lying and Shi-ho isn’t even a real threat from the BEGINNING to be quite honest. I don’t even like slow burns or all that complicated mess but i’m in for the long haul with these kdramas and if you’re setting up all those plot points in my opinion it’s a little disappointing for it not to live up to that. Additionally by episode 13 to the end it gets really boring. And I don’t even hate the show or anything. It makes me super nostalgic late 2010s. It has that 2016 funk that makes you cringe and laugh but it seriously feels like they had no true vision with some of these characters. Like Tae-Know and Seon-Ok having a thing for each other then time skip and the scene was just irrelevant okay💀. It’s a fun watch but gets boring once the couple gets together by like ep 13. But!! If you’re into: ML loving HARD and lots of fluff and late 2010s shows and the humor that comes with it this is super up your alley.Was this review helpful to you?

I started watching this because my mom got a Kocowa subcription on our Amazon Prime and it was rec to me by the algorithm and how I wish it never did. JK I really did enjoy my time with this but omg it was a DRAG once it got to ep 19-ish. The last episode felt exceptionally terrible to me and honestly left a sour taste in my mouth with how horrible paced it was comparing it to literally even the PREVIOUS episode. I don't need everything spelled out to me but everything was just left so ambiguously and really just not what I expected out of the show. Their 2nd wedding was cute though so we got that ig lol. Anyways...the slow burn was sooo good and felt deserved but the miscommunication got too annoying Jesus. Shin got on my nerves but YUL... don't bring up his name in my house I swear he was so bad to Chaekgyung arguably sometimes worse than Shin. I love the music and fashion from this show the 2000s fashion mixed with korean traditional is so glam and chic I literally can't every new outfit Chaekgyung popped out with made me so envious. If I were to rewatch it would be any episode before ep 18 becos the angst be ANGSTYYY. But Princess Hours/Goong was a fun watch. Was this review helpful to you?
MORE THAN A ROMANTIC COMEDY!!
Honestly I won't lie, the beginning of this show is a bit boring and makes you think it'll be overly cliche. But honestly it blew me away especially towards the end around ep 10/11. I've watched a decent amount of kdramas and to be honest this is the first to make me cry. Jukyungs struggle with both her academic and school life really made me relate to her on a level I haven't felt in a while. The characters really do grow and mature in a way that is natural and doesn't feel rushed or awkward. Despite its overdramaticness it's still grounded and allows the sadder moments to sit and have its space. I do feel the last episode was a bit unnecessary but it's kinda just there to wrap up everyone's romantic story lines which was so whatever to me. But overall I seriously didn't expect myself to like it so much!Was this review helpful to you?
