review: I absolutely adore this drama!! Let's be honest.. we ALL wish we had someone to care about us enough to be our fitness trainer/boyfriend!!
This drama details the journey of a woman who's esteem was trampled on by a scumbag, and she gradually becomes the woman she was always meant to be with a little push from the man that looks past her weight. I love empowering women, and this drama does just that!
The message behind this drama is inspiring and uplifting & I hope ALL women know that they deserve to love themselves despite insecurities/flaws.
Not to mention, the chemistry between the two leads is completely adorable!!
