This show has plenty of charms that justify its popularity, as it is refreshing and honest, a story about underdogs, has well-developed main characters, believable chemistry between the leads, and has relatable characters. One of the things that impressed me later on about this show is the fact that the writer of this series was a man, as he was able to write such great and strong female leads here. The four friends in question or “The Fantastic Four” are Ko Dong Man (Park Seo Joon), a former Taekwondo rising star Choi Ae Ra (Kim Ji Won), an opinionated and spunky girl who dreams of being an announcer or just being behind a microphone one day Baek Seol Hee (Song Ha Yoon), Ae Ra’s best girl friend, and a simple and pure girl whose entire world revolves around her long -time boyfriend and Kim Joo Man (Ahn Jae Hong) as Dong Man’s high school friend and Seol Hee’s long time boyfriend who has a permanent job as a home shopping network buyer at the same company where Seol Hee works. Aside from this, it is also an interesting examination on the choices that people make and how they affect others around them, and a great best friends to lovers story. It is a wonderful coming of age story that focuses on ordinary people in their late 20s, who are trying to still claim their youth, hopes and dreams. “Fight for My Way” or “Fight My Way” follows the the stories of four friends with dreams of their own as they navigate life and love, while trying to reach and figure out their own dreams through the harsh realities of life. This KBS2 drama was written Im Sang Choon and ran for sixteen episodes from May 22 to July 11, 2017. However, there is something immensely refreshing when one comes across a show that is familiar but different at the same time, and one of the reasons why the 2017 KBS drama, “Fight for My Way” or “Fight My Way” stood out and gained great ratings and popularity last year. When it comes to watching tv shows, whether it be a Western show or an Asian show, there are moments when one wants to see something and different, but there is also a slight comfort on falling back to shows with the usual tropes one expects from that particular genre.
