![]() ![]() I love that through it all, the characters in this drama world deal with love, loss and everything in-between, in very relatable, everyday ways. That’s a loving kick in the pants for all of us, I feel like, heh. On that note, I also love that this show makes a point of driving home the idea of continuing to pursue your dreams, even if nothing’s gone your way and life seems to suck big time. I imagine so many of us have felt like that at some point in our lives. It’s somehow extra relatable to have characters that are not just regular people, but are regular people who are struggling in life, and have shelved their dreams, and have had failed relationships, and generally feel like losers. One of my favorite things about this show, is that it’s about ordinary people living in an ordinary world. A romance with Answer Me vibes? Yes please, and thank you. It reminded me of the Answer Me franchise (which I very much enjoy – reviews here, here and here), except that this story isn’t set in the past, and is less family-centric. Right away from episode 1, I loved Show’s homey feel. Here’s the OST album, in case you’d like to listen to it while you read the review. I’m happy to report, though, that Fight My Way has totally and unequivocally bucked that trend I found this one easy to like, and right away too. I just never really managed to get into it, even though I faithfully watched it from beginning to end. But, I must say that in actually watching friends-to-lovers dramas, I haven’t ended up loving that many.Ĭase in point: 2007’s 9 End 2 Outs (also known as Bottom of the 9th with 2 Outs also known as Two Outs in the Ninth Inning – yes, it’s complicated), which most viewers seem to love, but which left me, well, kinda cold, if I’m being brutally honest. I’ve always liked the concept of friends-to-lovers stories, where besties-for-years suddenly find themselves attracted to each other, and bumble and fumble their way towards romance. Homey and heady, at the same time, in the best way. A thoroughly believable & sparky OTP, a solid supporting cast, and a breezy OST all come together to make this a warm, cracky, comfort-food sort of watch. A show that manages to showcase friendship, romance, family, and reaching for your dreams, all in one cozy, ragtag package.ĭespite bits of heightened drama, Show manages to feel organic and relatable pretty much all the way through. ![]()
