Fight My Way was a very interesting watch.

The plot in itself wasn't that unique. It was a typical story of four friends finding their way in life. Most dramas nowadays have similar stories. I, for one, found the premise very similar to 'Because This Is My First Life' starring Jung So Min and Lee Min Ki.

It was nice to way these four friends that are in their late twenties finding their dreams once again and finding the place they belong to. I think many people take people in their twenties for granted. Most people think that once you have finished education or granted you should be good to go in life. But, we all know that's not true. There are many people that are still lost after graduation and don't know what to do. Similarly, there are other people that are in professions that they don't enjoy. This drama really shows that if you have a chance then you should seize the opportunity to achieve your dreams. It was very refreshing to watch this. There were parts that kind of dragged especially the last three episodes. Also, there were some  parts that were really unnecessary. 

I mainly watched this drama for Park Seo Joon. I am a fan of his work. He is a very enjoyable actor. Once again Park Seo Joon did really well in this drama. He does really well in rom-coms. He makes his characters alive. Go Dong Man wasn't an intelligent character but he was simple and an open book. Go Dong Man was very different to many male characters. He was a character I enjoyed watching and I wouldn't having one in my life.

I was surprised at seeing Kim Ji Won as a lead character. I never really saw her as a lead but she did really well in portraying her character and I can't imagine another actress playing this role. Choi Ae Ra was a very strong female lead. Once again, this character was different to many other female leads who appear strong at the beginning but become a shell of a character near the end. It was nice to see a female lead so strong from the beginning to end. One thing, however, I didn't like was the fact she wasn't very supportive of Dong Man's wish to be a fighter. I understand she didn't want to see the man she loved getting hurt. Who would want to see? It would be torture to see that; knowing you can't do anything to help. It reminded me of Monica in Friends when she broke up with Pete because she couldn't stand to watch him get hurt.  But, I do believe she should have been at least a bit supportive. They have been friends for 23 years so she knows more than anyone how much Dong Man wants to fight and the regret he felt from losing his last match. Dong Man was very supportive of her.

Seol and Joo Man were a cute couple. I was annoyed at Seol for being really weak and letting people walk over her but I praise her for standing strong and getting to back on her feet alone. I do believe Song Ha Yoon (Seol) would make a great lead character in another drama. Her acting was very good. Ahn Jae Hong did really well in portraying his character. The Coach was another enjoyable character.

I avoided this drama for a while but I'm glad I finally watched it. It was a pleasurable watch. It was a great journey to self-discovery. If you're feeling down about where you are at life and whether you are in the right place, I would definitely advise you to watch this drama.

For all those in their twenties, 'Fighting!'.
