While I was quite excited to start Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, I can not say that this show delivered as much as I expected. I definitely laughed, and the actors in the show were excellent, but the plot line just did not catch my interest in the way I hoped it would.
Overall, the story itself is pretty simple and typical. This is not to say that the storyline itself is bad; it is a good show for casual viewing and for those looking for something heartwarming to kill time. However, if you are looking for something fresh and original, I would not say that this drama nails that on the head. I found that the plot lacked much individuality besides the main protagonist being a weightlifter. The story itself is pretty predictable and follows the traditional kdrama "childhood friend love story" plot line.
Would I rewatch this show? No. Would I recommend it to someone who likes love stories? Yeah, sure.
