I loved this one. I held off on watching it because I thought it might be too similar to Do Bong Soon. Dumb move. It was nothing like it. This has it's own charm by the kg.

Kim Bok Joo and her weightlifter friends navigate the sports school hierarchy as they figure out who they are as athletes and young adults. Bok Joo is talented and confident until she falls for her doctor. A swimmer with a connection to her past complicates things for her by accidentally interfering. As he tries to help fix the mess he's made the friendship becomes stronger. Together they work through some tough things emotionally and physically while maintaining a sweet relationship that takes it's time maturing.

The side stories are sweet and fun and help move the story along without distracting from it.

I really loved how this played out. The writing was really well done. It didn't feel like a story I'd seen a billion times before. The actors were all very good which helped the characters feel relate-able and real. Don't be a dork and wait to watch this one. Do it NOW!
