#i still have yet to resume 'my unfamiliar family' after ep 6

[drama-and-tv]

Into the Ring truly was a delight to watch! It was funny, very well-paced and has a lot of substance and hearts for a romcom. It has both main leads who are very rootable and both of them have tons and tons of chemistry (their kiss scenes are honestly some of the best that I have seen in kdramas). Goo Sera is, hands down, my favourite kdrama heroine of the year and the actress, Nana seriously brings a lot of sparks to the character. It also helps that Park Sunghoon’s Gongmyung was a good contrast to her Sera as the more buttoned-up, straight-laced character.

I guess why I really like this drama a lot is because it felt like an older, more mature version of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (one of my top kdramas of all-time) - both gave me similar kind of vibes and it helps that the female leads share the same dad actor).

I also would like to make a shout out to both the writer and the director. I understand that the writer was a newbie and actually won the scriptwriting contest with this drama - and the quality of the writing really shows with how everything just comes in full circle in this drama. The directing in this drama is really top-notch: I like how quirky and surreal the scenes are in the way they are shot. They are really pleasing to the eye and felt very unique!

Truly, this drama was a gem to watch! I highly recommend anyone to watch it if they are looking for a decently light-hearted drama with plenty of feels and hearts.

FINAL RATING: 10/10
