Chamonks Aug 11 2025 12:59 am I really enjoyed watching this after watching three thriller/crime dramas in a row. It was such a stress reliever. I tsk everytime he said 'what the....'. Wont cry though bcs I might be losing muscles.

Erra Jul 24 2025 3:43 am Never thought that there would be no boring episodes. hahaha.. Though the story is simple and a bit weird, surprisingly i can finish watching it without effort, and get entertained enough. i am not really in to Jung Eun Ji but she's a good actress actually. Need to watch her in mello serious drama. Love Lee Jun Young, too. his muscles are incredible.

Soulssi Jul 03 2025 11:59 am Its funny but the storyline is meh

Me Jul 03 2025 9:32 am I've been laughing all through the episodes! I get what the director wants to point out. Some may not able to get it. The funny script and dancing is great. Been so happy while watching, the leads are the best especially the girl. She's really good in acting. I watched all her series and movies. This is a comedy drama that you should watch. You will enjoy every episode. It's midnight and u can still hear me laughing

Cathy Jul 01 2025 3:25 pm This was very bad. The script, just purely horrible. The acting was borderline, but I bet it's the director. Both lead actors are great actors, but the stiffness of the lead male and stiff conversations were offputting. I guess they were trying to make a point about health, but I am pretty sure it didn't get through.

Omolola Jun 29 2025 12:43 pm Very interesting

Sami Jun 27 2025 3:56 am I’m almost done watching this drama and all I can say is—It’s So Good! I really relate to Ms. Lee. She started going to the gym because she believed that changing herself would change her life. That’s exactly why I started working out too—when I was only 13 years old. Yes, part of it was because I was trying to distract myself from an ex (LOL), but the truth is, nothing really changes if you just keep running from your pain.

You need to face it head-on and learn to let go of the past. What will change your life is choosing to be strong, prioritizing yourself, and learning to truly love who you are. This drama isn’t just about fitness or romance—it’s about self-worth and growth. And honestly? It hits hard in the best way.

LP Jun 26 2025 12:06 am This is the funniest & heartwarming kdrama for me so far this half year!! Had me rolled up & giggling watching their antics.. really a type of drama that help me de-stress recommended for people who want something light yet funny.. but if u feel this drama childish err who hurt u bro.. haha.. chillsss~ and I love the actor I was surprised he can bring that type of character too.. he so handsome ^^ too hahaaa.. eun Ji gurll u slayyy everytime~ it just so sad it's only 12 episode .-.

Mima Jun 14 2025 12:01 pm Hi Jjoo, I think this drama is not to your liking. Actually, I also felt the same way somehow this drama is not good. But the episode 12 has character development I guess? Haha

Jjoo Jun 13 2025 5:35 am Whoever recruited Lee Jun Young and Jung Eun Ji must have threatened them with something serious in order to get such good actors to act in this disaster, trashy drama. I'm really surprised by comments here saying it was funny because the type of humor in it was what you expect kids in primary school to laugh at. The characters are terrible and super flat. Every character has one characteristic and that's all about it. Like Lee Jun Young's character whole existence revolves around workout and every time he decides to open his mouth, it's either to flirt with his own body or say some nonsense about exercising. Not to mention his terrible facial expressions. Jung Eun Ji's sister's whole character is about being obsessed with her bf and basically trying to just sleep with him all the time. Jung Eun Ji talks like we all have some hearing issues and won't hear unless she screams her lungs out. And what about the scene in the first episode when she walked on her sister's bf in that creepy outfit and freaked out and called the police on him thinking he was an intruder? Like you literally knew him and know how freaky he and your sister are so how come you mistake him for an intruder? Even the training and weight loss part didn't really make sense. I watched up until half of episode 11 and I wasn't even really watching, I just let it play on my laptop while I scrolled on my phone and whenever I look up to the laptop screen to see what was going on, I let out a long sigh of frustration and go back to my phone. Absolutely the worst drama of the 2 leads. I just want to erase the memory of watching them clowning around in this drama because I really like both of them.

HawnAir Jun 12 2025 4:49 pm Like so many here, my only disappointment is that there are so little episodes! I love this series - so cute, excellent acting! Means so much to those of us gym rats!

whatthetteokbokki Jun 06 2025 2:29 pm what the tteokbokki! my fav k-drama this year. so sad it has low ratings, it is fun and healing.

i also had a feeling that the ML enjoyed hard playing this role, he was very genuine. :)

i like the FL since „Blind“, she is cool.

Ling Jun 05 2025 12:05 pm There's no boring scenes. I really like this drama very witty at the same time just finished watching and I don't wanna end it ?

Ling Jun 05 2025 12:03 pm It's sad that only episodes 12.

sf Jun 05 2025 1:07 am Silly drama.

Mima Jun 02 2025 11:27 pm I did not know why the ratings is so low, but this drama is really funny no boring scenes since episode 1. I usually don't prefer the slow romance however I did not get bored at all. I really like the Male lead since Class of lies days and the Female lead is so pretty will watch her works soon!!!

If you read this, that is your time to watch hihi

love4ever, seoyeji May 31 2025 12:37 am bro when i say this drama is funny, it really is! I just started watching it today and I've been giggling since episode 1.

Vyatcheslav May 30 2025 11:48 pm What the funny

Bruvhs May 28 2025 10:54 am I Lovee this drama, so funny

Sharon May 26 2025 6:06 am Loving this drama, it's so funny to me. It's a little different in terms of the settings. The casting was done well, even the guest roles were thought out well; special mention for Jeong Hyuk. It short but too funny. Can't wait for the rest of episodes.

sage May 22 2025 12:32 pm am i the only one who finds it problematic that they call a FL overweight, when she's only 62kg as they said in first episode? I want to like this drama but it puts me off

karen May 22 2025 6:55 am so many characters have good physique

DElideli May 22 2025 6:04 am This drama is gold! Eunji's acting is so good! The comedy is perfect. The Main cast's chemistry is amazing! The Top2 drama for me this year!

Kira May 17 2025 9:20 pm Favorite Show This Year!!!! It's so funny with a slice of life. Jun Young and Eun Ji have great chemistry, both comedically and romantically.

Ryuu May 17 2025 4:47 am I was just watching for Jung Eun-Ji but I just can’t anymore, this is mad boring.

Praise Mutoni May 17 2025 1:24 am I love the humour and the female leads personality !

Nana May 16 2025 7:36 pm This drama got the Boss Yang vibe from ‘Boss in the mirror’

heyhey May 15 2025 10:44 am Love It So Much, find myself waiting for their romance to start already, the leads are my faves so idc about the ratings, I enjoy it so much, so funny and lowkey pushed me to start working out (maybe I need my own hyunjoong too) can't wait for next episodessss done with episode 6

Midori May 13 2025 4:03 am Watched up to episode 4, and it's not as bad as the rating suggests. The main lead does a great job, and the story is light, occasionally funny, and not too cringey. Looking forward to the next episode.

HORANGHAEEE May 02 2025 2:49 pm I love this drama..Actors who played ML and FL are my fav. It might seem cringe in first episode but it's really fun.

Cristalena May 01 2025 11:55 am It's supposed to be cringy. Like ep 1 is definitely over the top but on purpose. I think a certain group of people will love this and another is going to hate it.

Olya_1004 Apr 30 2025 11:27 pm Just finished the 1st episode. I hope it will get better because the humour was kind of cringy and I usually don't mind Korean Humour.

CGI that was used is pretty bad and the ML and FL so far are a bit annoying (its one episode only so far so giving it a shot). ML character keeps saying what the fat when seeing FL (who is not even fat!!!) if he keeps saying that,it might be another Lee Jun Young drama that i will drop,kind of insulting tbh for people who are actually overweight (like me).

It reminds me of Oh My Venus but at least there they made the FL lead look overweight,although they used fat suits and added prosthetics to her face to give her a fuller look but here its just Jung Eun Ji wearing big clothes to hide the fact that she is not actually fat.

AC Apr 30 2025 12:23 pm Just watched the first episode and it's so hilarious! ? ??

Can't wait to watch the next episodes!

12 Mar 20 2025 9:08 pm The Premise, it looks like Oh My Venus.

Gorgeous G Mar 06 2025 12:08 pm Jung Eun Ji is one of the greatest actress and one of my favorite. Looking forward of this kdrama.

Russell Feb 26 2025 11:39 pm Well it probably won't compare to Miss Night And Day or Trot Lovers or That Winter the Wind Blows but I'm willing to give it a try.

Ek..... Feb 23 2025 1:36 pm I like the leads. I hope it will publish soon

rea Jan 19 2025 7:12 am i'm so excited for this drama! lee junyoung is a great actor!
