Celluloid Verdict
One of the warmest coming-of-age dramas Korean television has produced — Lee Sung-kyung and Nam Joo-hyuk make ordinary teenage confusion feel enormous, and the show never once mocks its heroine.

What is Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo about?
Kim Bok-joo out-lifts everyone in her university's weightlifting programme and has never once been asked to a dance. Jung Joon-hyung swims fast and false-starts faster, undone by a family he refuses to discuss. Across a campus of athletes chasing scholarships and podium finishes, the two stumble into friendship, first love, crash diets and the slow, awkward work of deciding who they might be outside their sport.
