Fight for My Way (rewatch)
(2017 - Viki, 16 1:00 eps)
4 friends in their late 20s with unrealized dreams & boring lives create a good friends-to-lovers story with incredible acting, a strong 2nd couple, & touching friendship.
A great Park Seo Joon role (he may be dressed better in others, but his acting shines here) - he plays a not-bright, vulnerable, desperate, yet talented man. Kim Ji Won is amazing. I also loved Song Ha Yoon's acting here - is she really the same actress as "Marry My Husband"'s villain? What a range.
A few tropes: a dark past, old enemies, & love triangles but since these are average people, it comes off differently. The 2nd couple's story is unexpected. There is romance & great MMA action, but the stars of this drama are young adults coming into their own, creating the lives they want for themselves, despite hardships.
