While she is a women who trains with heavy steel weights, she is also very feminine when it comes to relationships. To focus solely on weightlifting would jeopardize her relationship but leaving her weightlifting career for love would keep her from attaining her dreams. Can she find a way to have love as well as glory at the age of 20? The characters within this drama are elite athletes in weightlifting, swimming and rhythmic gymnastics who work hard to reach their goals in life. It covers their coming-of-age stories and relationships through hectic life.

SO much cuteness in episode 6, I'm so glad they're finally getting close. The car splashing scene + him bursting out his drink at Bok Joo's outfit had me rolling. And I knew the show was going to go in this direction with Shi Ho but tbh I appreciate that she wasn't just being an evil, petty bitch for no reason? We know how desperately she wants JH back in her life so while I'm PISSED she exposed her secret, I get why she did it. Sad that Bok Joo won't be able to come clean to Seon Ok on her own terms though :(

Date: 2016-12-03 12:24 pm (UTC)the cute in weightlifting fairy just keeps on getting better and better and gives me all the fluffy feelings!! I love that bokjoo and joonhyung's friendship has such a natural progression, and that so far the awareness has only dawned on joonhyung's side. i am always a sucker for a couple where the guy falls first and falls just a wee bit harder for the girl. (THAT SWAG TOAD THOUGH!! HUHU)
shiho gets more desperate each episode, and while i feel sorry for her while she chases joonhyung, i wish she'd just focus her energy on her gymnastics practice??? instead of wolfing down bread every time she feels frustrated..... (does anyone think her behavior is indicative of a budding eating disorder??)

Date: 2016-12-03 01:16 pm (UTC)I was rooting for Bok-joo to be her friend and make her feel better but after ep.6... nah
Also her obsession with joonhyung is unhealthy + really creepy

Date: 2016-12-03 02:15 pm (UTC)I also love Seon Ok a lot. At first I was wary of Nan Hee's character bc if I knew anyone with that personality in real life it would be too much for me. But she's adorable and she's an AMAZING friend. I love that she is understanding of Bok Joo and even fangirls with her. I just wish Seon Ok finds out soon too
The preview with Bok Joo crying to her coach...I am gonna be a mess next wk lol. Also I love the scene of the ginseng chicken with Bok Joo's uncle not being able to carry the pot and then the coach coming in and carrying with one hand lol. It was so obvious that it was empty when she carried it but still I loved it

Date: 2016-12-03 03:42 pm (UTC)I really hope shihos ed is addressed. I got flashbacks of my own ed during her scenes. I feel so bad for her. I really hope she doesn't turn against bokjoo for joonhyung, I want to see the girls all stick together!
I love the ost as well, it's so perfect for lazy Sunday mornings.

Date: 2016-12-03 08:21 pm (UTC)Also, seonok is a total girl crush. I wish they just told her about bokjoo's crush instead of leaving her in the dark.
I tend to skip the ex's scenes. She needs to stop. I'm reminded too much of guys who do not get the message and continually make me uncomfortable with their advances.

Date: 2016-12-03 10:23 pm (UTC)I hate that BJ has to do all these things for everyone else, and now they're about to get on her for losing weight. Though I also hate that she spent almost $600 just to be close to a guy she has a crush on. Girl. Another unfortunate is that BJ won't get a chance to tell Seonok herself, and I don't know how she might take it after finding out that Nanhee knew. It's so lovely how supporting Nanhee was though, I'd like to think Seonok would be the same.
Siho is trash. She dumps JH like he was nothing and only appears to want him again because she can see his affections are elsewhere. JH does not want her and she knows it. Now she has to resort to being petty and desperate. I honestly don't care about how she "needs" him back.
I don't wanna be there for the impending heartbreak that BJ will feel when Jaeyi turns her down. I like that JH is falling for her first, but he's not doing the typical, male behavior in dramas: acting like a jackass or being super mean to her because he likes her. He's accepting that she likes his cousin and they're building their friendship.
An aside, is it widely accepted that everyone has fallen in love with Lee Jooyoung?

Date: 2016-12-04 07:05 am (UTC)Seon Ok, Nan Hee and Bok Joo are friendship goals. Swag! Joonhyung and his friend are also cute too lol.
Shi ho got to go though. Like how many times does Joonhyung have to reject you? How many times does Bok Joo have to tell you that they are just friends? And you invade her privacy and then show what you found to her coaches? I felt bad for her struggling in her gymnastics but it doesn't make her actions toward Bok Joo understandable. Girl bye

Date: 2016-12-04 08:44 am (UTC)Other thoughts:
- I'm totally in love with SeonOk and the actress playing her, Lee Joo Young, She has a really unique look and has a pretty good screen presence
- The friendships continue to impress me. The 3 girls, TaeKwon caring/cleaning for JoonHyung.
- That JH/BJ's relationship is more of a slow build from friendship and i like that he's starting to fall for her already. They are super sweet to one another despite the hilarious teasing/bantering
- That JH/BJ have their own "meetup area" aka the fountain haha.
- That JH is not an asshole like other k-drama leads and doesn't get spiteful after finding out BJ likes JaeYI. In fact he tries to bring them closer together
- Love the writing for this drama. The jokes, dialogue that the characters have are nice. Gonna check out past (oh my ghostess?) and future works from this writer.
- ShiHo, girl. I thought she wouldn't have gone down that evil path, but she did. I'm glad Joon Hyung is being firm to her, though she's so freaking persistent and stubborn. And to have went through BJ's things and gotten her into trouble was extremely low.

Date: 2016-12-07 04:47 am (UTC)honestly the only thing that helps me get through the week
I was actually hoping that Siho would have a bonding roommate moment with Bok Joo but no she just went on full bitch mode :(((
THOSE GIFS WERE MY FAVE PART WHEN JOON HYUNG FREAKING WANTING A KISS
