Fight My Way First Impression

Fight My Way follows the story about young adults with third-rate specs just struggling to survive, and the blossoming romance between two immature friends Go Dong Man (played by Park Seo Joon) and Choi Ae Ra (played by Kim Ji Won) whose childish dynamic hasn’t changed despite reaching adulthood.

I found this drama is quite appealing with the familiar storyline with our daily life. Park Seo Joon is the best version for being Go Dong Man and I would never imagine anyone else takes on the role. Meanwhile, I didn't dare to imagine Kim Ji Won would be playing as female lead role, as she always takes on antagonize role during The Heirs & To The Beautiful You. However, her image totally changed when she takes on the role of Yoon Myung Joo who happened to fall in love deeply with a soldier. Just in one night, she is able to be a protagonist and I just love her transformation. In this drama, she is EPIC. Rather than being a more mellow type, she takes on a cheerful female lead role and she doesn't afraid to look ugly. 

Regarding the storyline, I love how the writer put the background story and the story flows in a good direction up to now. We should admit that at least we have been friends with a guy and that's maybe one of our best friend, maybe from childhood, high school or maybe university. Maybe one of you had been developing such feelings, but it's you who doesn't recognize it. And this drama follows that kind of storyline, thus there is no wonder, so many people caught up in this drama, including me. 

I would do the recap soon and would explore each character more. Stay tuned!

Fight My Way Released Official Poster

You can see the drama's 4 leads - Park Seo Joon, Kim Ji Won, Ahn Jae Hong, and Song Ha Yoon - smiling triumphantly dressed in pink suits, as well as looking off into the distance in denim blues (except Song Ha Yoon, who goes with a pink dress). 

The first poster depicts the 4 characters' childish, liberal sides, while the second poster reflects on how 4 children who used to dream of becoming admirable adults in the past grew up to be just regular adults. 

'Fight My Way', telling the story of youth who attempt to live their own way despite societal boundaries, premieres May 22 at 10 PM KST!

Bickering besties Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won for Fight My Way

With these two leads, I’m not surprised that we’re in for something cute. The first teaser is out for KBS’s upcoming rom-com Fight My Way, Park Seo Joon (Hwarang) and Kim Ji Won (Descendant From the Sun) star as lifelong friends who specialize in tormenting each other, a dynamic that’s bound to bring on the laughs. And if we’re lucky, it’ll also bring crackling chemistry in a heartwarming friends-to-lovers romance.

The coming-of-age drama is about young adults with third-rate specs just struggling to survive, and the blossoming romance between two immature friends whose childish dynamic hasn’t changed despite reaching adulthood. They tease each other relentlessly, but are also the first to defend their best friend against anyone else.

Park Seo Joon’s character is an aspiring Taekwondo athlete described as a teenager in the body of a man, and Kim Ji Won plays an aspiring news announcer with no filter and a sassy attitude. 

In the show’s first teaser, our two main characters smile for the camera happily, but it hardly takes a few seconds before they start a fight. Kim Ji Won shoves her microphone and script at Park Seo Joon, while he starts tossing parts of his Taekwondo uniform at her. Well if your idea of fighting is undressing, by all means, carry on.

She quickly gains the upper hand with a chokehold, and the whole thing devolves into an embarrassing hair-pulling match. The best part: Once they’ve got their jackets off, we discover that they’re wearing matching couple tees. I think I’m going to like this one.

The fight begins in May following Perfect Wife on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Upcoming Drama: Fight My Way First Still Cut

After hit drama Descendant of the Sun, Kim Ji Won was finally offered as the female lead in KBS2 drama Fight My Way, together with Park Seo Joon who just finished youth romance historical drama in Hwarang (starring Go Ara and Park Hyung Sik also)

'Fight My Way' is a growth romance drama about youths today who lack the specifications society deems "good enough" to be successful, but who still choose to live their lives their own ways. It's set to air some time in May!

Let's see, Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won, turned into a blue-clad, currently-just-friends couple in their first still cut!

Park Seo Joon will play the role of Ko Dong Man and Kim Ji Won in the role of Choi Ae Ra are just-friend characters who fight constantly when the two are involved, but once a third party gets in their way, they're quick to watch each other's backs. How will this romance-less duo go from friends to lovers? 

Compared to Go Ara, I think I personally like Kim Ji Won better in terms of acting. It's true that Go Ara is so pretty and beautiful, yet, her acting seems to be constant without changes in expression and voice tone. Waiting to see this drama excitedly ~ Maybe gonna do a review and recap for each episode!

Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won Script Reading for 'Fight My Way'

Upcoming KBS2 Mon-Tues drama 'Fight My Way' (formerly known as 'Ssam My Way') held a script reading with its loaded cast!

Actors Park Seo Joon, Kim Ji Won, Ahn Jae Hong, Song Ha Yoon, Kim Sung Oh, Choi Woo Sik, and more gathered and had a blast reading through the script. 

In the drama, Park Seo Joon will be playing the role of Go Dong Man, while Kim Ji Won will be in the role of Choi Ae Ra. The two develop from longtime close friends to a romantic relationship, all the while telling stories of growth and success among today's youth.

Are you excited for 'Fight My Way'?

I am not excited as I expect it to be, not because Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won are not good, but because I just want to keep my expectation just right (remember about Uncontrollably Fond - which KBS had purposely advertised it as a romantic-comedy drama which turns out to be a totally melodrama). Park Seo Joon hits his peak nowadays. Even after finishing Hwarang: The Beginning with Go Ara, he still chose to work another project while the timing is right. 

In Hwarang, Park Seo Joon is truly a good actor, he has that kind of strong leadership and manly vibes around him, which makes him charming in his own way. Though, I decided to watch Hwarang just because of Park Hyung Sik. Honestly speaking, I would say it is a waste of his talent when he filmed Hwarang with Go Ara because I just don't see the chemistry between them. I know Go Ara is beautiful but sadly, her character there is just so-normal-girl without something that would spark the interets of the viewer. 

However, this time, it's all different when you had Kim Ji Won as his pair. Both of them wil surely shines in their own way and I believe that Kim Ji Won and Park Seo Jun would be able to pull off the character with notes, the written of their character is explained well by the writer. 

Upcoming Spring Korean Drama: Third Rate My Way

KBS has finalized the next set of dramas in its weeknight lineup, filling up its schedule through June with the previously announced Third-Rate My Way (which recently confirmed leads Park Seo Joon and Kim Ji Won) 

Third-Rate My Way is getting the Monday-Tuesday timeslot following ajumma-comeback drama Perfect Wife, which recently kicked off to decent response, albeit low ratings. The drama features characters with unpromising futures living as side characters in their own lives: Kim Ji Won will play a young woman who’d dreamed of being a television presenter, who now works the info desk at a department store, while Park Seo Joon plays an ordinary office worker who was once a hotshot Taekwondo fighter. The show will be a youthful story of growth and romance, which sounds like it could be really uplifting and poignant, especially in the hands of two actors who are well-matched for talent and charisma.
