![]() ![]() The caption of the teaser reads, “The pitiful romance of sweaty, twenty-one-year-old, college athletes.” They may be sweaty, but Lee Sung-kyung and Nam Joo-hyuk sure are pretty. Nam Joo-hyuk is pretty adorable as he chases Lee Sung-kyung all over campus and pokes like a little kid, asking, “Am I a ghost? Talk to me!” The teaser opens with Lee Sung-kyung’s voice: “People ask me, ‘why do you lift weights?’” followed by Nam Joo-hyuk: “If by chance I didn’t swim, would I have just been an ordinary college student?” We then hear the coach state that he wants his students to find happiness in their love of weightlifting and not in medals or national fame. While there’s the thrill of winning and seeing all your hard work pay off in the end, there’s also the thrill of first loves, burgeoning crushes, and just hanging out with your best friends over sizzling grilled meat. It’s exciting to catch a sneak peek of the sports elements of the drama, but I think I’m more taken by the college campus shenanigans and easy camaraderie among Lee Sung-kyung and her friends. Meanwhile, Nam Joo-hyuk and Kyung Su-jin appear to be in tip-top form, slicing the water in the pool and spinning elegantly on the mat, respectively. I love her short and blunt locks they really complement her tomboy, carefree look. I know she gained some weight for the role, even though she still looks quite slim in my opinion, if not more defined and fit. I had doubts about whether or not Lee Sung-kyung would be convincing as a weightlifter, but based on the teaser, I’d say she passes muster she doesn’t appear too out of place with a barbell. ![]() Our weightlifting fairy sees hearts for the first time when she develops a crush on Lee Jae-yoon ( Oh Hae-young Again), an obesity clinic doctor and cousin to Nam Joo-hyuk’s character. ![]() Kyung Su-jin ( Bluebird’s House) plays a type-A rhythmic gymnast with a fervent determination to always win, who suffers immense stress because of it.
