Fight for My Way (2017)

Fight For My Way has very high reviews and the trailers looked so intriguing, which is why I ended up watching it and it was a solid drama, but it simply fell short of being perfect for me. It was overall, a good show, but not something I would rewatch. I love Kim Ji Won, but I wasn't particularly partial to any of the other actors in this drama. I do really love that this drama encourages people to do what they love rather than what is expected of them. That was a really amazing moral lesson to take away from this drama. Sweet romances between both lead characters unfolded, which was also nice. I just didn't find myself sucked into the atmosphere of this drama, which is kind of sad, because I could really see why people love it so much.

The simple things are the best!

Just like this show! There are shows that don't do much, it's just about average people and their average lives, doing dumb things, making mistakes like everyone else. Fight for my way is like this! Nothing special, nothing fancy or over the top, just a really good feelgood and fun drama with real people.

I don't think there's anything I have to talk about, because there are no big plots, so you have to see it for yourself.

I only had problems with the last 2 episodes. They should've done it after episode 12-13 or so, because that story was actually interesting and good, but sadly the writer messed it up a bit, because they found out everything in the finale, and it was solved in the same episode, basically.

Other than that, this is a fantastic show, with great actors and chemistry. Dong Man and Ae Ra's relationship carrying the whole show, it was fun as hell, because Seo Joon and Ji Woon are comedic genius, I'm sure. Their aegyo scenes are hilarious, and probably this is why it's still Legendary. ?

Ha Yoon as Seol Hee absolutely stole the show for me. Every nice guy deserves a great woman like her, except Joo Man!?

Their story was interesting, and even tho their ending was realistic, I didn't like it. Sure, it wasn't cheating technically, but I don't think I would forgive him.

Also, the MMA scenes were a bit lackluster.

I think if there's a show that deserve a couple of more episodes, it's "Fight for my way".

Fresh and iconic romantic comedy

One of my all time favourite dramas. Very funny and comedic. It is refreshing to see characters that aren't rich or are labelled as poor, but live a life that is clearly dramaland's definition of poor. ALSO to see an unapologetically confident female lead was awesome. For most of it, it was enjoyable and entertaining, but I do remember that it got a bit dragged on towards the end of the series. In particular, they kept reusing the female lead's disapproval of the male lead's decision to fight as a means of conflict for them to seemingly fill the last few episodes. Another thing to nitpick that kind of bothered me was how I sometimes felt that Park Seo-joon was always consistent with his character? Overall, the character was dumb and loveable, but when it came times to the dramatic romantic scenes, it felt a bit off and didn't always feel like it was the character "Dong-man" but "Park Seo-joon acting out a romantic scene", if that makes sense? I'm talking about particular scenes where he is meant to leave the female lead flustered in his acts of bold romance. Overall, it is an iconic drama and plus points for being Kim Ji-won's first leading role.

Relatable in the aspect of real life scenarios

●I had watched initial 2 episodes a month ago and trying to clear my current watch list I started this again. I discovered the actual story and enjoyed it. The theme of fighting against all odds and finding the dream you sought with love and family.
●Story- living alone to achieve dreams yet what you do is also for family. Breakups, swaying, friendships, and that easiness between friends is fluff. It made the show more watchable. The straight dialogues without any hesitation were perfect.
●Acting- PSJ as dong man, nice muscled body just like fighter but I wished for more fight scene than only focusing to one opponent.
KJW as choi ae ra was a great woman who would go to ends for her man. She is independent yet fragile who needs friends during the low times.she just aced the role.
Secondary couple joo-man and seul-hee were also excellent with their own story.their bittersweet romance and realization of true love is well portrayed.
●Music-its great to ears,its like the candy melting in mouth. The BGMs are well blended with scenes. “Good MORNING” by Kassy is extreamly sweet as candyfloss.
●Rewatch- maybe but just the important scenes like comedy and romance

I gave such a high rating due to me simply falling in love with this series.

I’m not big on details, I like the most basics, I like the plot being just straightforward, not complicated or boring. This series brought forth what a seemly boring stand point to actually making it super entertaining, interesting and kept you on the edge of your seat several times.

I was surprised because at first, I watched 2 Episodes and I was like “ehh nothing exciting just lame love cliches” but I decided to give it another shot because I’ve seen scenes on YouTube of the main couple beforehand and literally couldn’t stop laughing, so I’m like “lets go!”

I’m so glad I did because I binged it within 2 days, I just finished it and it was such a great ending, while watching the series I noticed some things here and there were random or didn’t seem to fit well, but it wasn’t like “oh it’s so noticeable” the main cast it was drew me in, I loved their friendship and relationship, it was so realistic and relatable, I connected easily with all of them, as I’ve had similar struggles before.

So it was nice seeing that instead of the normal plot of “oh handsome mean guy hates the main girl and then randomly develops feelings and bam” so the take of the best friends for 20 years was a refresher. All in all this story was sweet and simple, gave you the look into real life relationships from one side a 6 year relationship loosing its flame to best friends becoming something more. I laughed, cried, felt pissed, wanted to throw my tablet out the door but it was worth it, it’s not a soap opera and Aera is such a crybaby but I thought it was adorable XD

Anyways, to end this chaotic review, WATCH IT! If you like sweet romance and friendship I bet you’ll love this, it’s in my top 3 next to “Kill Me, Heal Me” and “It’s Okay, That’s Love”


P.S I CAN’T STAND THE MAIN COUPLE THEY ARE SERIOUSLY THE CUTESTTTTTTT.

Everything that makes Fight For My Way is amazing: from the story to the characters, every single detail contributes to the creation of a near-masterpiece.

Starting off with the main plot, it is true that is not the most original, but that is a positive point in Fight For My Way as the important things are not the story itself but what composes the story. It's the little details and imperfections that make Fight For My Way unique since they are trying to show us a real story. I really like the plot twists on this show as well as the side plots and characters.

The characters are (very) round: they show us they are humans when they make bad decisions and have to make it up for their errors. With each episode, we can see the characters change according to their true morals. At the same time, the characters prove they are real when they make realistic decisions in realistic situations, you know those kinds of circumstances that also make me wonder what would I do.

The cast is good too. I think it is great that Park Seo Joon left the kind of roles he's always been playing before to dive into this kind of character. I think the execution of his character was great as well. Kim Ji Won was perfect for her role too, an imperfect heroine that takes what it's hers, but still has some personal issues. The chemistry between Dong Man and Ae Ra was amazing too, but then again, have we ever seen a drama whose male lead doesn't have chemistry with his partner when it comes to Park Seo Joon? On a personal note, I have to say the biggest surprise was the second lead couple, Ahn Jae Hong and Song Ha Yoon. I became a fan of Ha Yoon after this drama, I think their story was very well written and amazingly executed by both actors.

When it comes to the soundtrack, I have nothing but good words. Kassy and Btob were excellent with their beautiful songs, just like the lead track, "Dumbhead". The music was pretty well accompanied with the most emotional scenes which make me remember exactly most of the vibes that the drama gave me when I listen to the songs.

I would also like to mention how good the general ambient of the drama was. I've seen many dramas whose characters are kind of poor and have to live in humble districts, but Fight For My Way is the first drama that comes to my mind when I think about that kind of scenario. I think there were strong links between the places and the characters and their stories, which is another positive point for the drama.

Imperfect heroes of the modern world fight their ways to survive and live a little bit better, facing all kinds of difficulties, including their biggest weak spots. A show that presents a solid drama with humor and great characters, places, amazing acting, and also tries to teach all of us a lesson. Fight For My Way gets a 9 out of 10.

Daebak! This drama is so amazing. This drama explains the genre ROMCOM. One of the most realistic drama ive ever seen. From the characters down to the OSTs were amazing.
ACTING. Superb! One of the best actors, Ji Won and Seo Joon. The portrayal of characters were just realistic. Everybody can relate it particularly Sun Hee and Joo Man's relationship that faces challenges which is relatable to all couples out there.
STORY. I think the story was good. It has no darkness in it, it were just light and fluffy with some main lead's parent issues. I love how it was written, i got a lots of quotes in their dialogues.
OST. It was pleasant to hear their Osts, i downloaded some of it.
I JUST FINISHED THIS YESTERDAY. IM GONNA REWATCH IT NOW.

one of the best rom com ??

8,6/10. Ini drama buildnya bagus sih, karena dari awal dibuat bener2 kocak. Comedynya lebih masuk di gw & jujur lebih banyak nyengir sm ketawa di sini daripada di wfkbj. Plotnya juga realistis. Acting menurut gw gausah diraguin lagi... banyak scene iconic yg dibuat sm aktor & aktris di sini ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ OST-nya yg Good Morning - Kassy itu surprisingly sering gw puter dulu jaman2 2018 ????? kerasa bgt jatuh cintanya denger lagu itu wkwkwk. Kurangnya ini drama cuma di ending sih jujur ? gw kurang sreg sm plot di eps 15-16. Apalagi ending. Jujur ga ngerti sama endingnya ?????? tapi gw anggep aja itu happy ending yg sesuai ekspektasi ??

Oh My, i don't know where to start. Seriously, i wasn't expecting this drama to be this captivating and addictive. It really exceed my expectation. it looks like a typical kdrama, but it is not. The plots are really good, so is the acting. I'm once again amazed at Park Seo Jun's talent. This guy can really immersed himself in whatever character he played. And he act so natural in all of it. This drama have fair share of it's ups and down, mystery, romances and friendship. this four knuckleheads portrayed so much of normal citizen's life. because not all human born to be rich like in alot of kdramas. It can relate to alot of us the normal people in our struggle in this life. It's no fairy tales, it's all so original and inspiring. That's probably why i feel that this kdrama is extraordinary. There's never dull moment too. Overall, this drama is highly recommended by me...

let's see ...
i will speak about the episodes from 1 to 14 .... the drama where the lead girl is sassy and not all cute n wronged is my favorite type ... i had a huge crush on AE RA's role , i loved it so much the tough girl with the tomboy attitude boy she captured the character so well :).
both stories were so good and well written , also the development of events is so well organized , the kind of "loser" character of the male lead hit me so hard ... it is different from what we've seen before ... i had my laughter and "fav moments" a lot with this drama .. i just loved all the details about it .. could it have been more complicated and mysterious !! yes BUT thank god the writers did not do that , the main charm is that it is a regular story of a regular couple and WHAT IS EVEN BETTER IS THAT THE STORY IS DERIVED FROM A REAL COUPLE'S LIFE ... HOW COOL IS THAT !!! , it is the kind of dramas u simply ENJOY :) it is definitely worth ur time.

LAST 2 EPS
writer nim if you have just added 2 more episodes and finished things the way they are supposed to ... it would have a been a killer drama... things were way too rushed in the last 2 eps (you will understand when u see) i sensed it in ep 14 :/ ... but it did not ruin the charm of the drama tho .... :).
YES IT IS A REAL NICE DRAMA , THE CHARACTERS ARE JUST LOVE LOVE LOVE.

tremendously enjoyed this! the perfect amount of humor and angst. i could relate to many of the characters' troubles, which is another point for this drama! the characters too... i'm so invested in everyone. their struggles and their tenacity despite those struggles was so touching. i just really like that the main characters are regular, low to middle class people. they feel more real that way, as they're the people i see myself in.

i guess what turned me off was how i wasn't that into the relationships, and the obvious product placements & sponsorships. at some point it's also very predictable, but it didn't cease to be entertaining.
