Fight For My Way (2017)

Everything that makes Fight For My Way is amazing: from the story to the characters, every single detail contributes to the creation of a near-masterpiece.

Starting off with the main plot, it is true that is not the most original, but that is a positive point in Fight For My Way as the important things are not the story itself but what composes the story. It's the little details and imperfections that make Fight For My Way unique since they are trying to show us a real story. I really like the plot twists on this show as well as the side plots and characters.

The characters are (very) round: they show us they are humans when they make bad decisions and have to make it up for their errors. With each episode, we can see the characters change according to their true morals. At the same time, the characters prove they are real when they make realistic decisions in realistic situations, you know those kinds of circumstances that also make me wonder what would I do.

The cast is good too. I think it is great that Park Seo Joon left the kind of roles he's always been playing before to dive into this kind of character. I think the execution of his character was great as well. Kim Ji Won was perfect for her role too, an imperfect heroine that takes what it's hers, but still has some personal issues. The chemistry between Dong Man and Ae Ra was amazing too, but then again, have we ever seen a drama whose male lead doesn't have chemistry with his partner when it comes to Park Seo Joon? On a personal note, I have to say the biggest surprise was the second lead couple, Ahn Jae Hong and Song Ha Yoon. I became a fan of Ha Yoon after this drama, I think their story was very well written and amazingly executed by both actors.

When it comes to the soundtrack, I have nothing but good words. Kassy and Btob were excellent with their beautiful songs, just like the lead track, "Dumbhead". The music was pretty well accompanied with the most emotional scenes which make me remember exactly most of the vibes that the drama gave me when I listen to the songs.

I would also like to mention how good the general ambient of the drama was. I've seen many dramas whose characters are kind of poor and have to live in humble districts, but Fight For My Way is the first drama that comes to my mind when I think about that kind of scenario. I think there were strong links between the places and the characters and their stories, which is another positive point for the drama.

Imperfect heroes of the modern world fight their ways to survive and live a little bit better, facing all kinds of difficulties, including their biggest weak spots. A show that presents a solid drama with humor and great characters, places, amazing acting, and also tries to teach all of us a lesson. Fight For My Way gets a 9 out of 10.
