Overall- 9/10

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo was a great drama to watch, no doubt. It was enjoyable from start to end with our entertaining Bok Joo keeping us company for the entire series. Bok Joo and Joon Hyung is a slightly unusual yet cute couple to look at, especially towards the end of the series when everything blossoms.

Story- 7/10

The story was OK. In my opinion, the weakest part of the drama. Too many plot conveniences, repetitive storyline, and slowish development. Other than that, no major problems or plot holes evident. It was smooth throughout.

Characters- 10/10

Kim Bok Joo was obviously my favorite character as the protagonist, with the most focus and development. This drama really showed everything about a character so well. She is such a lovable character overall with starting with her cuteness and ending with her masculinity. The male lead, Joon Hyung, was good as well. His playful nature got to be very compatible with Bok Joo as time went on. Not to mention, the important side characters were excellent too.

Acting/Cast- 10/10

The cast was excellent. I respect Lee Sung Kyung for gaining weight to act as Bok Joo, from her model figure. Her acting skills were on point. I enjoyed her funny scenes and tomboyish nature as a weightlifter. The male lead, Nam Joo Hyuk, was good as well, and in the drama, I saw them work well together very comfortably. The supporting cast did their job as characters who weren't useless who weren't entirely useless.

Music- 8/10

The music overall was cheery. I liked it, the theme matched well with the story. Though it was nothing extraordinary. Soundtracks were good but there was nothing to take home to.

Enjoyment- 9/10

I thoroughly enjoyed watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo. It was a great drama with a few shortcomings, mostly in the plot.

Rewatch value- 9/10

I would definitely rewatch this drama in the future as I enjoyed the first time watching it. I don't see any reason why no other than the OK story.
