I can see why so many loved and rated this show so high because its completely justified. This was an unexpected treat to watch and I binged on it for three days wondering what would be happening next. The first three episodes are really strong in the premise and sets up what to expect. The first half is really good while the second half is faster paced but not by much. Sixteen episodes was the right call. I know others would want it longer or even shorter but what was shown was enough. This lighthearted drama had so many good intentions within that its difficult to find a fault in the execution. The acting was great. LSK has shown great range in the roles she's taken so far. The OST is very good and the story is very much like a fairy tale which may lead back to its name choice, Weightlifting Fairy. The theme of self-worth is present. Some have too much and others don't have enough but it's a very good message to get across because you give as much as you get. All these characters understand that and in the ever-hectic world of kdramas, it's very rare for that to happen. There's a sense of empathy and compassion throughout and it's very infectious. Even if you're not the biggest sports fanatic, I'd recommend a viewing or two.
