I don't have much expectations for this drama. At first, I just wanted to watch this mainly because of Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk, whom I adored after watching Cheese in the Trap and Scarlet Heart Ryeo. I'm interested on how their pairing will work, and how will Sung Kyung carry the role of a weightlifter. Well, everything worked just fine. Story: It is a lighthearted drama about love, friendship, youth and a little bit of sports set in a university. I love that the female lead is not your usual damsel in distress character. She's strong, positive, funny, and stands for herself and her loved ones. I also love the friendship between her and her two best friends. The side romances and family stories added a little spice and sweetness to the drama. And of course, the leads' romance is our #relationshipgoals. There are some dull moment yes, but it's so little you end up not noticing them. Acting/Cast: This is my second favorite performance of Nam Joo Hyuk (next to his role as Baek Ah in Scarlet Heart Ryeo), who played as a free spirited swimmer Joon Jun Hyung. He is perfect for the part. Damn, where can we find this kind of man in real life? Tell me. Meanwhile, while I commend Lee Sung Kyung for giving most effort to play the role of a weightlifter, she seems to be lacking on "being" the weightlifter. But her awkward facial gestures and walk kind of grew on me. I'm actually excited for Sun-Ok and Tae-Kwon's romance. But this has only got 16 episodes. (Poor Nan-Hee ???) Overall: I recommend it to those people who wanted a break from stressful melodramas or historical dramas. Also, for those people who are fans of youthful dramas.
