Feelgood and charmingly funny
A «growing up drama» that makes you smile loads and leaves you with a good feeling.
Very brief synopsis:
The female weightlifter Kim Book Joo works towards her goal of joining the national team, living life happily at school with her two close friends on the weightlifting team. She has never been in love, and doesn’t give much thought to boys, until she falls head over heels in love with a handsome guy shielding her from the rain one day. She also gets reacquainted with a former classmate, who is now a handsome swimmer at the same school as her.
We follow her along the journey of how her crush develops, how her friendships tackle it when love comes into the equation, and life itself.
What bugged me:
I was surprised when I found out how old she was supposed to be. I thought she (and her friends) acted extremely childish, so thought they were supposed to be younger.
I wasn’t thrilled with the fake crying, and am no fan of screaming girls.
I didn’t really notice at first, but I guess after halfway or so I started noticing the two main leads had a very big (unrealistically big?) wardrobe. Especially coats and winter jackets - they wore new ones so often!
There was a few times I wondered about shift between day/night time in scene changes.
The positives:
As mentioned first, this is a feelgood drama with funny charm. I found myself smiling and chuckling loads of times.
The cast was good. FL had very rich facial expressions, and ML managed to ooze charm befitting of his character.
The story progresses well, and gives you the necessary breathers. I was very glad they didn’t go overboard with scheming/jealousy/intrigues/sabotaging.
