Aaaahhh... Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo... Where do I start?

To be perfectly honest, this drama's poster and title didn't appeal to me AT ALL. I mean, Weightlifting? I'm not into sports and I didn't think I'd enjoy a drama about weightlifting. But boy was I wrong. I was so wrong.

Thanks to a friend who kept on nagging me to watch this, I got to experience a drama that managed to pull on EVERY SINGLE ONE of my heartstrings and filled EVERY cell in my body with so much love, joy and positivity that is so overwhelming and still makes me want cry whenever I watch video clips of the drama--- days after finishing it.

This drama is incredibly beautiful in every sense of the word. It's too beautiful for words even.

And if you're reading this review because you need someone to convince you that it is worth your time, I suggest that you stop hesitating and just jump right in. Don't overthink. Just hit that play button and see for yourself why everyone is raving about it. Who knows? WFKBJ might just surprise you, grow on you and maybe even blow your mind.

Watch this drama with an open heart and an open mind. Don't expect anything. Just watch it and enjoy the ride. This is what happened to me and thank God I did it because WFKBJ inspired me so much that it changed the way I see the world and the way I live my life.

So go ahead and give it a shot. I have a feeling you'll LOVE it -- or perhaps even fall MADLY IN LOVE with it. ;)


P.S.
This is my first review. I don't write reviews because I'm lazy but I couldn't resist the urge to do so because this drama is too beautiful not to share. I hope this review would help convince you to watch and experience this masterpiece. :)

This drama could use 10 more episodes, to be honest. I want to see more of the main couple and I want to learn more about the side characters' stories.

Lu Jing may be young age-wise but he is logical and he thinks maturely. His opinions about life make me forget that he is just 22 or 23 years old. Although he still acts his age sometimes, a part of me believes that he is capable of protecting Liang Chen and can take good care of her.

The actor who plays Lu Jing is so good that his acting makes me feel like I am Liang Chen whom he adores--which is crazy. Whenever he looks at her, I feel like I'm the one blushing and melting into a puddle. And can we talk about his kissing skills? Man, the boy can kiss! I just hate the fact that the FL can't/doesn't match his passionate kisses. Urgh!

Overall, this drama is a 9/10 for me.
Just like what Lu Jing said, "Love is supposed to be simple and beautiful" and this drama is exactly that. Even the supporting characters grew on me. It's a beautiful, well-written drama that I am grateful to have come across.

P.S.
The OST is fantastic. There's not one bad song on the playlist. Every song fits the scenes perfectly. I love them all! ^^
