The scenes of them madly in love are just so heart-fluttering. They are seriously sooo cute and compatible with each other, and I love seeing this bickering pair together on screen,especially in the later half of the show where they just shower affection on each other. It helps that there are many scenes to portray their depth of understanding and concern for each other and hence it makes their progress from friendship to love beautiful and believable to watch. The whole when-will-they-discover-their-feelings-and-just-get-together sentiment has me really involved in the storyline and I truly devour all scenes of Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won together as I cannot wait to see their love blossom. Helps that Park Seo Joon has a really affable vibe and a brilliant happy smile that is really suitable for the clueless Dong Man.Ī big part of Fight For My Way focuses on the ambiguous friendship of Dong Man and Aera who are secretly in love with each other and always rooting for each other, yet clueless about their feelings for each other. Park Seo Joon seriously has great comic timing and he really brought the brawny but simple-minded Dong Man to life. However Kim Ji Won is really great in this role, and because there is much effort to depict her character, somehow this Aera character became really 3 dimensional and believable and we grow to like this character like a friend we know. For such “crazy” characters, it is very easy to overact, and hence sometimes such lead protaganists can even come across as being quite irritating in my eyes. This is my first time watching Kim Ji Won and I always thought that she looks quite beautiful and aloof, I could never guess that she could portray the fiesty “crazy” yet cute Aera so well. Extremely likeable leads of Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won with fantastic chemistry It is thus extremely uplifting when we see our leads take a brave step to quit their jobs and throw themselves headfirst into the arduous and seemingly impossible journey of achieving their dreams regardless of the consequences.
Hence we feel their pain when Dong Man had to apologise to his supervisor even though he has nothing to be sorry for, and when Aera lost her dream job as the broadcaster for the mall because she had no connections to the boss, reflecting the harsh and unfair truths of the working world that we are all working in. They work hard, they try to conform to societal expectations keeping their ‘unrealistic’ dreams hidden in their heart, they too suffer from grievances at work and had to bend down to their bosses just for the sake of keeping their rice bowls. They are in jobs they have no passion for, working simply to make ends meet. Our 4 main leads here are all in very ordinary jobs just like people whom we see around us. Realistic depiction of challenges young working adults face Sadly, this is probably a realistic depiction of many working adults watching this drama and hence this theme would likely strike a chord with many, attracting viewers who want to see how our underdog leads defy the challenges to succeed in life. The story started with our leads in their youth, all naive and passionate about their future career paths and then fast forward to the present day where they are working but unfortunately nowhere near their original dream job. One thing notable about Fight for My Way is its great pacing that reels viewers in very quickly. Great Pacing and Focused Theme of Chasing Dreams Against Odds
