Pump Up the Healthy Love Reviews and Reactions
This drama does not hold back. It's loud and proud in its wackiness, especially in the tone, humor, and dialogue. It's over the top and probably not for everyone but I thoroughly enjoyed Eunji and Junyoungs performance.
I think this might be the most comedic acting I've seen Eun Ji do in a drama and we're just 2 episodes in, oooh but the second-hand embarrassment from her character alone.
After watching both episodes I can say that I really like this drama so far I will be looking forward to it every week. All in all, love the comedy aspect despite some cringy moments, excited to see how the romance develops between the leads.
I loved it. Though exaggerated, the portrayal of body pain after working out for the first time is so real. Hahaha. And that winning feeling of being able to fit into your goal dress lol I loved that aspect. And Do is so supportive, even going with her to the wedding.
I hope this drama gets better, it's a bit cringe but I love Junyoung so imma try to power through. I really just can't stand loud dramas where everyone is always yelling or crying, I get overstimulated.
