Into The Ring
AAAAAHHH I LOVE THIS DRAMA SO MUCH! For all its flaws, Into The Ring is probably hands down my fav drama recently. Very nice and enjoyable story, amazing chemistry between the leads and was consistently fun to watch from ep 1 to the last episode.
<PERSON> is the obvious highlight of the series. From the first episode, I already loved <PERSON>. I loved how passionate she was and how she never gave up. <PERSON> has a huge heart and is so soft but never ever lets herself be walked over by anyone. <PERSON> did an amazing job bringing the character to life. She played the character so effortlessly, it really came so naturally to her. Her character is not perfect. She has flaws just like the rest of us. For example, I love how when she starts her job, she is just doing it for the money. She is not all holier than thou but is instead a realist. It's very honest and true to real life. When people are telling her to vote against the town getting a loan, I really thought she would vote that way as well. But nope. She’s like, give me my paycheck 😂 Maybe not the most ethical choice, but very honest.
All in all she is just a well rounded character. Life is happening to her and not just around her. 217
She is multi-faceted and has a variety of personality traits, like a real human being. Her character is nice, strong, vulnerable, funny, serious and selfless. AND I LOVE HER BABY VOICE! It should be annoying but no, ITS SO CUTE! I love her, and if she existed I would love to be her BFF.
Her relationship with her parents, even if at times they weren’t the best, the love was always there first and foremost and no wonder she’s got such a great personality with such loving quirky parents. Her parents are hilarious! And warm-hearted. And flawed. And stubborn. And foolish. And wise.
<PERSON> is her perfect love interest - the brains to her heart. He’s kind of awkward and blunt but so sincere and extremely loyal. He supported <PERSON> and made sure to always do what’s right, he would guide her and respect her in a way that really touches your heart, he always wants the best for her without ever patronising her. Chemistry both <PERSON> and <PERSON> are overflowing. I loved their interactions and how natural and comfortable they were with each other in their relationship.
The extended cast is amazing, particularly <PERSON> friends <PERSON> and <PERSON> - a great support system of true ride or die, sometimes a little unwillingly but they always pull through and you can count of them, plus our wise-beyond-years kid neighbour <PERSON> and her fellow politicians who are all so memorable whether its because you hate them, laugh at them or are conflicted over them. I gotta be honest some of the disputes may be a tad boring, but <PERSON> makes your time worth, because she has the best reactions, the best replies and the best sidekicks.
This is one of my absolute favorites! It ranks alongside My Mister, Mr. Sunshine and Reply 1988. It is an absolute masterpiece. I will so miss <PERSON>, one of my favorite female characters! 1009
