Kim Bok Joo is a dedicated college weightlifter chasing her dream of reaching the top of her sport. She trains with fierce discipline, yet her first steps into romance leave her unsure of how to balance her growing feelings with the demands of competition. In the middle of hectic campus life, she crosses paths again with Jung Joon Hyung, a talented swimmer dealing with lingering anxiety from repeated false start disqualifications.

As Bok Joo works through pressure, self image doubts, and her first crush, she finds steady support in Joon Hyung.

Surrounded by fellow athletes who are also fighting for their own goals, Bok Joo learns that love and ambition can grow together when she refuses to give up on either.

Triangle Details

FL briefly crushes on ML’s cousin, but it’s one-sided and ends quickly. ML’s ex causes tension but isn’t a real romantic competitor.

My Notes / Opinions

Warm, wholesome, athletic coming-of-age romance. Very healthy main relationship. Minor early triangle noise but nothing serious. High chemistry and light, uplifting tone. I think it’s absolutely fucking funny as well that they cast the skinniest actress possible for the FL role lmao, but she kills it in this drama.
