An absolutely magnificent and exceptional drama ❤️
An absolutely magnificent and exceptional drama. A real gem!!! Very few Korean or Asian series manage, even today, to have such a positive impact on viewers' morale.
I have never seen a male and female acting couple on screen like Nam Joo-hyuk (Jung Joon-hyung) and Lee Sung-kyung (Bok-joo) have such a breathtaking and unified aura, so much so that I was convinced these two were really a couple in real life. Between humor, sports passion, family, friendship, but also going through emotions, humor, sorrows and joys, lack of self-confidence and the search for identity, all the narrative aspects of an excellent superior quality drama are brought together and the visual approaches are highlighted in such an intelligent and brilliant way that it is impossible not to fall under the charm of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo, particularly the main duo formed by Nam Joo-hyuk and Lee Sung-kyung, which is striking and sensational. Whether dealing with the main characters or the secondary characters, the chemistry of the acting as a whole and the communion that the cast exudes is simply astounding. What strikes me is that the rest of the cast is also fantastic and let's be honest, the secondary actors have brought an even better qualitative added value. The success of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo is rightfully enhanced by their imprint. I couldn't stop laughing during each of the 16 episodes, and yet I'm over thirty and I watched it years after its release, but I don't know how and why this drama managed to make me smile as soon as I looked at it. The comical moments, the comedic scenes, or the humorous quality of the narrative arc are still memorized within me. A big favorite for the character of Jung Joon-hyung, aka Nam Joo-hyuk! His performance is magical and breathtaking, and his acting is strikingly realistic; he is impressive, he brings a dose of freshness and youth that is so intense, so seductive. He exudes something indescribable as an actor, especially at the beginning.
Actress Kim Bok-joo, aka Lee Sung-kyung, is of splendid and absolutely divine beauty. She has a style that is so unique, sparkling, and different from usual actresses. But it is especially the fact of having created a female character so different from usual clichés, so atypical of what we have seen in dramas for years. Having had the brilliant idea of creating such a female character centered on altruism with a strong, joyful, comedic personality was a daring gamble and a total success in my opinion. It was a perfect idea. Bravo to creator Yang Hee-seung because this is what, among other factors listed above, made this drama even more dazzling and unforgettable! Considered today as a cult drama, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo thoroughly deserves its rating of 10/10, or even much more ❤️
