Enjoyable from start to finish this series features extremely likeable actors and characters and laugh out loud funny dialogue. Set in a sports college, the romance and struggles of athletes in weightlifting gymnastics and swimming is quite enjoyable to watch.
Lee Sung-kyung is obviously too slim to be a weightlifter but her performance is so charming that it doesn't matter that physically she is too pretty. She makes this character a gem and you feel her insecurities about her physical appearance and her struggles as an athlete. Nam Joo Hyuk acts well with more range than in Start Up and is suited looks wise to his role as a swimmer in love with her. They have funny banter and great chemistry. An enjoyable aspect here is the good people that surround them. His family including his nice brother is supportive and hers is too. There are some serious issues too like eating disorders and stuff but overall it's a light hearted show.
Highly recommended.
