Surprisingly good
Story: The plot is straightforward that’s why I loved this drama. Shows the struggle of an ordinary human being with his passion. Very realistic, if you ask me. Definitely falling under RomCom & slice of life genre. I cried almost every episode here. Dramas about family make my heart hurt. Although the first few episodes were uneventful, it got better after. I skipped some parts about the supporting couple and their office romance but I like how they interpreted it in a mature way. There are many quotable lines here as well.Acting: Major applause to PSJ acting, I love him here. He can be childish, cool, gentle, dramatic and manly all the same time. I can’t help but drool over his body ? Kim Ji won did good as well, with the mix of cuteness and fierceness. Like a cat. I just wish they’d justify her being afraid of Dong man in a fight with her feisty attitude. Like have scenes why loss or death would be scary for her. Other actors all did great except for the landlady. I also think that her son’s story was a bit unnecessary.
Music: okay, I guess, but not memorable for me.
Rewatch value: will probably skip the scenes that made me cry ?
Overall: I think it was surprisingly good. I usually read bad reviews before starting a drama so that I won’t expect too much but fortunately, their negative comments wasn’t too much for me. I enjoyed this drama very much.

This drama is very cute and lighthearted; just a no-frills rom-com, so there's no mystery or thriller factor. However, it managed to keep me interested because I wanted to see the story unfold since it was interesting. I liked the plot and I think that it is a nice drama to watch if you are feeling like watching a calm drama for the romance, and isn't full of tension-filled scenes. The ending was nice too. I think that the acting was good and the actors portrayed their characters well. In conclusion, I think that this drama is perfect for those who want to watch a drama to relax and unwind, or to calm down after watching a suspense-filled drama. Was this review helpful to you?

All the characters had good chemistry and the story was appealing. They struggled like real people and found their way out of it in their own way. I felt for all of them, especially Dong Man. The actor who played him did an amazing job. He conveyed his emotions in the right way, and I really fell for his acting. His character also had the most interesting story and personality.
I liked the love story between Ae Ra and Dong Man the most. It was sweet, a little predictable but exciting, nonetheless. What bothered me was Ae Ra bossing over him. I just hate people that yell and think that they are always right. He should also have the right to follow his dream. I applauded him when he first chose his dream and got disappointed when he changed his mind. I know she thinks she is doing the best thing for him, but she is not. I hate characters that are like “Pick either this or me” Why couldn’t he just stand up for his passion? And why couldn’t she accept it because she sees how much it means to him? Ugh! I know what the writers were going for. The “Love over everything” bullshit.
I liked the four main characters friendship, but I noticed that the other two were excluded in Ko Dong man’s most important moments, like his first fight with Tak Soo. It was obvious that they wanted to leave Ae Ra and Dong Man alone.
The relationship between Joo Man and Seol Hee got boring from time to time, even though it was unique. And I sometimes found myself either skipping or waiting for their scenes to be over. Because the of their boring love story that went around in circles, I felt like they stole the other two’s screen time.
The last two episodes felt rushed and out of place. Everything happened too fast just to wrap things up. And I noticed that important extra’s didn’t get enough screen time; an example is Dong man’s little sister.
Except for all the negative points I made above and some other flaws. I still enjoyed this show because it focuses on people who are trying to get up after being down for so long and their journey to stand up again. Also, I didn’t feel there were any filler episodes and I was always excited for the next one.
So, give this show a try if you like this genre.
Goodbye to whoever who reads it (Did someone read this? )

철들수록 꿈이 사라지는 거면, 나는 그냥 철들기를 포기할라고.
Dear friends, behold, the finest historical specimen of the Golden Age* of Korean dramas: Fight For My Way! Insanely cute and funny, just as much problematic.?"I'm dating you, and why do you have to do everything your own way?" While the drama is literally called "My Way" and sends the message of embracing your own desires and independence, this message arrives twisted when it came through the hours of childish interactions between the characters who try to make their romantic partners comply with their whims. But this message doesn't come out of thin air, and the exceptional rating of 13.8% demonstrate what was amusing for the Korean society in 2017 and what was its itch.
This drama characterized by a radical intolerance to others' choices, and that intolerance is often presented as humorous or romantic. But tell me, please, if your partner said this to you, would you think of it as romantic?
- "If you do martial arts again we break up. We won't stay friends either and will never see each other again". (Says someone who is dating them and supposed to support and encourage).
- "I'm not going to marry anyone else, and if my burn gets infected I will die, so come apply the ointment today". (Says someone who got broken up with and doesn't want to let their partner go).
- "Why are you wearing such a short skirt?! Every man will look at your beautiful legs. Go and change right now!!!" (Says a male character to a female character)
The writer doesn't ever trust the characters to be truly self-reliant. She keeps glueing them together when they part their own ways, and this defies the whole narrative of the drama. The most interesting character is the aspiring announcer Choi Ae Ra. She doesn't have a documented proof of her talent and support system like the athlete Dong Man with his medals and a coach. She has to take many rejections and be flexible to achieve her goal, and I love a story like that. Unfortunately, her career didn't get a lot of runtime comparing to Dong Man and the romantic plot. It's such a big lose.
"철들수록 꿈이 사라지는 거면, 나는 그냥 철들기를 포기할라고. 그냥 남 보라고 철든 척 할 필요도 없고, 아끼면 다 똥되는 거고."
?The itch of finding a fulfilling career and pursuing your true passion is still very much present today, and it only grows bigger as Gen Z is entering the work force. But I hope that all these toxic traits in K-dramas are left in the past. Let's support K-dramas that don't romanticize manipulation!
* It's the Platinum Age now, post-Netflix. Don't you think?

i had to change the score while writing this review
love the set up, with a strong female lead and the fun vibes the male lead and female lead havedon't care that much for the "in love with your friend for forever" trope but i guess it works for the comedy and stretches the story a bit in a good way
hate the offensive gay character portrayal and the "mistaken to be gay" trope
side note: this would have been an excellent set up for an actual love triangle (not just an arrow) because the chemistry between the first and second male lead was there, lol

fagth for my way
não gostei, assistir por causa do protagonista mesmo o ator park seo Joon, a protagonista não combinou na minha opinião, mas tem quem goste.o casal secundário muito bom, mas ficou chatinho por conta do enredo lá com a funcionária, o ator protagonista entregou tudo .
gostei bastante do musical, assitir legendado mesmo pq gosto da voz dos atores com a língua deles mesmo.
a série só não ficou péssima por conta da história de vida do protagonista, é pq ele entrega tudo em todas as suas atuações.

Dropped it on episode 5. The character development is trash. The story is almos trash. I made an account here just to bent out my frustrations on wasting my time watching trash. The first couple episodes were funny. And that's all they were, funny. There's no substance. The writing is so bad that even high fan fictions are better in comparison. I can't stress enough how bad the lead female character is. And please don't get me wrong, the actress was good, the character being portrayed is bad. I sometimes look away at the screen when they start saying cringy stuff. Save yourself some time and don't watch this. Whoever the writer is, please go jump off a bldg. thanks.

Uma Combinação Maçante e Chata
O que me fez assistir este drama foi a sinopse, pareceu uma história inovadora e diferente onde o foco não são pessoas bem-sucedidas como em 98% dos K-dramas (com todos aqueles herdeiros ricos com suas vidas maravilhosas onde dinheiro não é problema ....), pelo contrário, o foco do drama são pessoas que lutam e batalham para ganhar o "pão de cada dia", a vida não é fácil e eles não tem folga. Parece interessante? Sim, mas não foi isto que encontrei neste drama.A história até começa bem, mas logo se perde em diversas situações maçantes e desnecessárias, é chato e cansativo de acompanhar. Não consegui me apegar a nenhum personagem, o casal secundário é simplesmente o pior casal secundário que já vi, eles são extremamente enfadonhos e toda vez que tinha uma cena só com eles era penoso para mim acompanhar.
Enfim, o que o drama entregou não foi nada do que esperei, não o assistiria novamente muito menos o indicaria. Total perda de tempo.

Leve e divertido
PONTOS NEGATIVOS• O casal secundário na maioria das cenas era irritante, imaturo e não sabiam conversar e resolver seus problemas
• O Dong Man apoia a Ae ra em todos os momentos que ela quer seguir o sonho dela e ela, por ter medo dele se machucar acaba não retribuindo tanto assim o apoio o que gera algumas cenas chatas
• Cai em alguns clichês que são incômodos como por exemplo: quando eles começam a namorar o Dong Man implica com o tamanho das roupas dela e faz ela mudar de roupa
• Tem um Plot familiar envolvendo um dos principais que eu achei mal desenvolvida a relação
PONTOS POSITIVOS
• A personagem feminina principal é muito divertida e determinada sem cair em estereótipos, protege os amigos com a própria vida e é super dona de si, amei muito ver as cenas dela durante o drama.
• A química do casal principal é perfeita, eles ficam confortáveis perto um do outro e tem um desenvolvimento super natural
• Tem uma visão mais realista da vida adulta, mostra o dia a dia com as dificuldades e os sentimentos reais
• A amizade do quarteto é muito fofa e tem vários momentos de interação super engraçados.
• Achei as cenas de luta super bem feitas e legais de assistir
• OST muito boa

não gostei
eu tentei, tentei assistir todo, mas não estou conseguindo, é mto chato e puxado, o casal principal não tá me agradanfo, tanto que pulo quase todas as cenas com eles, gosto mais da amiga dela, tô no episódio 15 ou episódio 16, não me lembro, mas até onde eu assisti o dorama tá muito ruim, nossa e aquela ex dele é nojenta e insuportável, odeio ela, não recomendo assistir, só pela ex, ela acaba com toda magia (inexistente) do dorama, ela é tão insuportável, e qualquer mínima conquista da protagonista ela tenta tomar pra ela, não recomendo chata dmsWas this review helpful to you?

E aqui temos o drama aegyo indicado à Orcar!
MUITO BOM!Não me recordo exatamente o porquê de eu ter dado 9.0, mas sinto suspeitas de que foi porque não mostraram o casamento KKKKKKK (Spoilers Alert).
Depois desse drama fiquei fã ainda mais da atriz Kim Ji Won e sinto que o Seo Joon me amarrou ainda mais à ele (quero deixar claro que estou segurando meu pano rosa com glitter neste exato momento). As cenas com Fire tocando de fundo foram tudo, e as da Choi Ae Ra sendo "fofa" me fizeram até decorar as falas (tô nem brincando).
Super recomendo!
Concluído por mim: 14/12/21
