Where do I even start? This drama captured my heart from the first episode. Everything about is so amazing. The story, although decently simple, managed to take you through the ups and downs that so many young adults face. With one sided crushes to and young love, this drama did it all. I love the fact that Kim Bok Joo was not the average pretty girl. Her character development went much further. How she dealt with weight issues and feeling insecure really gave off a relatable vibe and I loved it. Joonhyung was also a very interesting character. I loved seeing how we learned more and more about his insecurities as the show went on at a slow pace. The struggle from him was very hidden and bottled up and seeing it exposed was an interesting insight to how he truly felt inside. The sports concept also played a role in this drama and it caused a lot of stress for many characters. I loved seeing how weightlifting affected Bok Joo and the struggles she had to juggle in order to get where she was.

As for the acting, it was absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best I've seen. I think I read somewhere that it was the first time for both of the main roles involved to be the main characters of a show, which makes me sad given its low ratings, but with that said, they did great jobs at capturing the raw emotions needed fore the roles. Not only were they amazing, but I also positively adored the the side characters as well. And as excepted, they also acted very nicely.

As for the music, I never really noticed anything worth remembering, but it certainly wasn't unenjoyable by any means. It just didn't stand out which is why I scored it a bit lower on my rating.

The rewatch value of this drama is out of the rooftops. Right after I finished it I debated for a good ten minutes on whether I should rematch it or not. Of course I decided against back then, given the time, but with that said, I'd love to watch it sometime in the near future. Even though there aren't as many jumps and curves, it still manages to keep me interested.

Overall, I give this drama a 10/10. I did this mainly because of the reasons above. Anyway, please give this drama a chance and don't give up on it. I promise it won't go to waste
