An incredibly refreshing drama in a sea of over the top dramas. Weightlifting Fairy is a wholesome and light (so rare!) coming of age story with many relatable elements that simply just makes you feel good & giggly while watching. The chemistry between the main leads felt so special & real (they ended up dating IRL), you can't help but to excitedly root for them. All supporting characters (except for Song Shi Ho) contributed to the fun & comedic atmosphere. I'm constantly searching for a kdrama that makes me feel like I did while watching Weightlifting Fairy, but nothing ever measures up.

If you're solely looking for crazy overly dramatic plot twists of revenge, death, etc., this may not be for you.
