Hey there fellow reader, it's me your inconsistent writer Brandice here with another k-drama review review for you, because who doesn't like a decent Korean drama review.
Fight My Way was a refreshing new drama for me. It stared Park Seo-Joon as Ko Dong Man who was a former Taekwondo player, his best friend Choi Ae Ra who was played by actress Kim Si Won. Together they were good friend with Kim Joo Man who was played by Ahn Jae Hang and Baek Seol Hee who Song Ha Yoon acted as. The four of them were 'The Crazy Fantastic Four.'
Fight My Way was a fighting drama literally and figuratively. Ko Dong Man (Park Seo Joon), after a fixed Taekwondo match when he was younger, struggled everyday with a job he hates as well as love. That is until he finds MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Choi Ae Ra (Kim Si Won) wants more than anything to be an announcer and is sadly stuck working at a department store. Kim Joon Man (Ahn Jae Hong) and his girlfriend of six years Baek Seol Hee (Song Ha Yoon) struggled with their relationship while they work together at a home shopping network.
This drama is about the life of young adults just trying to make a living, but living their best life. It's about the external and internal forces that drive them and push them forward. At times it was high stress to watch Ko Dong Man's ex-girlfriend come back into the mix or the the other girl that was interfering with Baek Seol Hee and Kim Joon Man's relationship, as well as when you found out the
There were a couple of twist in this drama, well okay no there was like, one big twit that kept me heavily invested in the landlord's story line. She was oddly enough, very important to the story.
What I liked about the female lead Choi Ae Ra, was that she wasn't one of those female leads who just sat back and took shit. She would beat someone up if they messed with her. She was loud, opionated, and never held back, always speaking her mind. That was refreshing and I appreciated it and lot since many of the drama I have watched in the past, made me feel that not many female leads were like that. Well don't get me wrong there are some, but not many like her. Her friend Baek Seol Hee was kind of different from her, she tolerated everything until the last straw and she wasn't very confrontational at all and I think that's what made them a good pair. Choi Ae Ra reminded me a little of myself.
It's kind of hard to give y'all a synopsis of the drama without giving it all away.
When Ko Dong Man finally picked up MMA I was actually very excited. I was over here like, "BOY IT'S ABOUT TIME! KICK SOME ASS!" It in all honesty made me want to learn how to at least box ya know? Of course I don't really see myself doing that anytime soon. Fight My Way made me wnt to do the things that I loved even if I knew there would be or might be setbacks
Remember what I said about figurative fighting? That was this drama. Fighting constantly for the people you love and the things you wanted to do. The true struggling in friendships and intimate relationships. A little bit of suffering from depression seemed to be thrown in their as well and understanding the value of yourself. It was about an adolescent struggling and very much appreciated. Overall I give this drama 4.5 G-Dragon heads out of 5. I didn't see many flaws with the drama the only thing I wish was different was the ending between mother and daughter. That' a spoiler for I won't give much away.
I know that sometimes life can be a true struggle, but I know y'all can do it!
FIGHTING!!!!!!!
