Okay so this is one of my favorite shows of all time, to put it simply; I fricking loved it. It was and still is something that makes me feel a bit happier in my day to day life. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo felt like a breath of fresh air between all this very serious and dramatic dramas that seems to dominate the K-dramaland nowadays.

Story; The 'Slice of Life' style of drama was a good choice for the characters that they made. It was an lighthearted and funny show that made me fall in love within a few minutes. It wasn't about true love or people who were destined for each other, it was about friendship and a cute and innocent kind of love and that is what distinguished it from other dramas.

Acting/Cast; Brilliant, simply brilliant. The actors and actresses were made for these roles and I don't think that I wish that they would have done anything differently. Even though the characters could be like stereotypical K-drama characters in some aspects, I felt that they were different and very loveable. The quirks of Bok Joo and her friends made my cheeks hurt from smiling, I usually don't think that K-Dramas are all that funny but this one really fitted my sense of humor.

The relationship between the main character felt so real and I loved that they didn't rush the characters into falling in love with each other right away.

Music; I don't really remember the OST of the series but I don't feel that it was something that I missed either, so it probably was fine.

Rewatch Value; I think that most people who watched it will rewatch it at some point, I have and probably will again. I miss the characters all too much for not seeing them again.

Overall; Loved it a lot as you can tell.
