8 Reasons to Watch: Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Im so sad that this k-drama ended and so in love with it that i needed to make a 8 reasons to watch post. First things first, sorry for any english mistakes. Hope you enjoy this post! :)Β
There are some spoilers in this post, especially in item #3, but nothing too revealing.
1. The Main character
When you see a strong female character in a k-drama, sheβs often faking her personality or just being rude. Kim Bok Joo is a strong character and sheβs still a human being. She lifts wheight, dedicating herself and putting her strenght on it and then she goes home to have fun and drink with her best friends. The main character show us that you can be strong and empowered and still live normally. Thatβs why we like her so much: sheβs a female symbol of strengthΒ and still a young women who wants to enjoy her life and have some fun.
2. The swag couple
This is one of the cutest couples Iβve ever seen. In the end of the drama youβll just be thinkingΒ βOmg, I wish I had a relationship like this!β. Bok Joo and Joon Hyung discover their first love in the peak of their lives, when they can do anything, like Bok Joo said in the last episode. Thatβs what makes this couple so special: their relationship is full of love, youth and affection.
3. Portrays Serious IssuesΒ
When I got to know the girls from Rythmic Gymnastics, I got really sad. They had to private themselves from eating in order to achieve perfection. Look at that: Song Si Ho even developed eating disorders. The scene which some girls break a scale in the middle of the night might seem fun to some, but to me it was really sad. We need to give more attention to Song Si Ho: to me, sheβs one of the best characters in this drama.
4. It makes you laugh
Sun Ok, Nan Hee and Bok Joo = FRIENDSHIP GOALS! I died watching their moments together, not to mention the questionΒ βDo you like Messi?β who make me laugh loud. This drama is surrounded by funny scenes (like when they go to the amusement park) and the sound effects in the background, like the guy saying WHAT? just make them even funnier, donβt ask me why.
5. And even cry!
The whole thing with Joon Hyung and his mom are so sad. Family bonds make a great presence in this drama: you most certainly will get emotional seeing how much Joon Hyungβs uncles and Book Jooβs father try hard to provide everything to their children.Β
6. Lovely soundtrack
Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo doesnβt have a big soundtrack, but itβs lovely and pleasing to listen from the first song to the last. The theme to all songs isΒ βFirst Loveβ, and theyβre going to make you remember the main coupleβs sweet moments together. My favorite song is From Now On! Whatβs yours?
7. Amazing cast
This dramaβs cast is amazing! They are not only good actors: they had lots of fun recording Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo and became close to each other. Nam Joo Hyuk even said he wantβs to play a main couple with Lee Sung Kyung again! Isnβt that cute?
8. It is unique.
Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo is not only about love: it shows us the power of true friendship, working hard to achieve your goals in life and a family who always tries to keep you happy. Youβll end this drama missing all the characters, and Iβm not even kidding.Β This drama also teaches us that we need to enjoy our youth, the most beautiful phase of our lives. Kim Bok Joo is a young girl, and sheβs just like us in various points. Thatβs the story portrayed in this k-drama: a young life, lived with lots of swag.
