Overrated but a good one

Well, when someone is talking about 2016 dramas this drama is definitely one of the dramas that comes to mind first. You know, cheese, romance, well-balanced comedy etc.

But you know what is missing? The reason to overhype.

Yes, i know the drama is good, i highly appreciated how they added the insecurity of being a weightlifter which is seen as a "manly" sport as a girl, they made a reputation and gave the message that gender roles are wrong. Story was good. When it comes to romance, it's a typical childhood swearthearts trope and honestly who didn't enjoy it while watching it? Romance was okay. The comedy was there, the second leads were amazing but their potential was just wasted.

Acting was stable, two professionals, Nam Joo Hyuk and Lee Sung Kyung as main leads had an amazing chemistry together but the FL, Kim Bok joo's facial expressions kinda made me.. You know when you're in the middle of a show and the main character does something embarrasing which makes you stop it and go around for a walk, then come back? That was it.

Althouhgt the drama wanted to give us a message about being confident in our body, no matter what size we are, the way FL tried to change her body size just for the Doctor in the series.. Yeah let's not, let's really not.

OST's are good, may add all of them to my playlist.

As a person who never rewatches dramas, i would never rewatch it even if i was forced or paid for it, if my life depended on it i would just watch it in 5x because of all the boring and cringe scenes.

Overall, it was good but why was there too much hype for a basic cheesy romcom?
