Review of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

I really cannot believe how high this is rated!! I hated 80% of this show. The story is so slow and boring, 2/3 of the show focus on Bok Joo's one-sided crush - with the ML's brother no less!! The main couple don't even start to get together until the end of episode 11! This show was SO frustrating to watch because the main couple are so cute and have really great chemistry together. The story plods along, focusing on pretty much everything BUT the main couple; side stories, side characters, other couples, you name it. And there was so much focus on the sports too... ugh, we get it already, they are athletes! Bok Joo's father was the worst, presenting as a nice and doting father, but then suddenly when Bok Joo has a small misunderstanding he wants to beat her?? What?? Even her coach, who she clearly sees as a mother figure, beats her because she won't explain why she went to the weight-loss clinic, which WHY is that such a big deal anyway? Also Lee Song-Kyoung was a great actor in this but she definitely didn't have the body of a professional weightlifter. And everyone was SO immature!! I get that they are supposed to be young students, but they are in COLLEGE, not middle school! Oh and what on earth happened with Joon Hyung's mother? What is she presented as a poor, pitiable woman on any level - she ABANDONED her son because she got married?? Why couldn't she take him with her? Am I missing something about Korean culture? No, Joon Hyung, you definitely should NOT forgive her!

I don't think I have ever had such a frustrating experience in watching a show before. I'm only giving this two stars for the cute leads and the last 3 episodes which were the only ones even kind of worth watching. I can't believe I wasted 16 hours of my life on this. WHAT are y'all talking about with your 10 ratings??
