Story: The plot sounds like a great story. It’s unique and interesting, at first. I was thrilled that Lee Hongki was in a Japanese drama. His performance in “You’re Beautiful” was so cute and funny. I thought this drama would be similar in the sense that he plays such a cute character in both dramas and thought a funny sort of romance would blossom between the two main characters. If you are expecting that like I did, don’t. Even though there isn’t any romance in the drama. But don’t be discouraged, with the flaws there is an okay drama. It is hard to overlook the Mary Sue/Gary Stue leads (I don’t blame the actors for having bad characters). At least once, sometimes twice, an episode Ji Hoo gives this huge and inspiring speech that just lifts everyone’s spirits into the air and revives all hope that was lost. His character is just so perfect it is unbelievable. I found myself skipping past those speeches because I knew that, afterwards, that everything would be perfect again. Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the drama. I rather enjoyed watching the struggles of the Shiratori Wrestling Gym as they tried to overcome their debt, win the Muscle Girl Cup and help Ji Hoo find his mother, who abandoned him in Korea. There are heartfelt moments that are nice and sweet as well as moments that had me itching in anticipation and holding me in suspense. Those moments were few, but they were great. I guess it is because this is such a happy drama, that I was kind of put off. This is a good drama to watch when you are down and looking for something cute. Music: Only one song made an impression on me and it’s the beginning and ending theme that is sung by Lee Hong Ki himself. It’s got a nice tone to it and even though they use the song so often in the drama, I never got tired of it. Cast/Acting: Lee Hong Ki was the best actor there. He IS the show. His emotional and facial expressions were perfect and I found myself laughing every time he was on. Despite having such a Gary Stue character. It’s because of his acting that I didn’t drop the drama. If he was not the male lead, I wouldn’t have watched it. To be honest, I don’t think Ichikawa Yui, who plays Azusa, can act at all in this drama. She did alright but everything felt forced to me. There are times where Aya Vanessa, who plays Mai a female wrestler, forced her acting as well. Most of the time she seemed so sincere it looked fake. Akai Saki, who plays Himawari, a female wrestler, was the best actress. She seemed to know how to play upset and happy without forcing it or over doing it.
