Good Enough
Korean Drama '' My Lovely Boxer '' is a sports drama focusing on the relationship between the athlete and her manager.The drama did a good job showing the girl's story, her struggles with her family and, especially, her dad, her dilemma when it came to her sport, with a love-hate relationship, her battle with the media and the sudden fame that deprived her of any personal space, and her isolation from others. So, when it came to her story, the drama did her justice.
However, that can't be said for the romance. If I have to be honest, I wouldn't have minded if it was just a friendship and they had left out any romantic notion between the main leads, as the side couple was cute enough and provided that light and fluffy atmosphere that the drama needed. Alas, the main love story was rushed to feat in the drama, and its progress was rocky with a more or less unsatisfying ending.
In addition, the drama would have benefited if they had added more sports scenes and handled the matches better. Sure, this isn't a sports-focused drama, but some excitement from a boxing match would have enhanced things when the plot started getting boring.
The performances, finally, were enjoyable.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Un très beau drama
J’ai adoré le scénario de ma jolie boxeuse, je suivrai avec plaisir au travail de cette scénariste ! le sport a souvent inspiré les scénaristes, c'est un très bel opus sur le monde de la boxe qui nous est présenté ici. le background est vraiment bien mis en scène et fouillé, ce qui permet de s'immerger complètement dans l'histoire. le casting me paraît excellent, notamment Kim So Hye et Do Eun Ha. Le personnage de cette dernière peut facilement ravir votre cœur également.La dignité sportive, l'histoire d'amour non conventionnelle, le côté très INFJ Du personnage principal féminin, des lignes de dialogue pleines de style, tout cela fait de ce drama un excellent divertissement. Petit bémol sur la mise en scène dramatique finale ,la blessure à la tête n'est pas très logique…Disons que ça demanderait au moins de voir la scène ! Certaines critiques disent que le ML ne comprends qu'à la fin qui est le gros méchant, ce n'est pas tout à fait vrai ! La tension dangereuse de la présence de la mafia dans cette histoire et bien maintenue tout le long , et permet de comprendre les décisions de sacrifice de certains personnages.
On aurait bien voulu un petit peu plus longtemps pour voir contempler le couple de fin tant le cœur des spectateurs a dû retenir sa respiration pour ne pas avoir trop d'espoir ! merci à toute l'équipe de ce drama ❤️

a healing, sports romance worth watching
I can't really find the words to express why I love this drama so much so I'll try to do a very barebones pros and cons list instead:Pros -
1) really great writing that will keep you engaged throughout
2) lots of satisfying character development
3) The ML - dude's a great actor playing a very morally grey and complicated person on a path to redemption
4) adorable FL, who goes on her journey of acceptance and healing
5) positive female representation, lots of good examples of female & male friendships
6) all the side characters are written to be very sympathetic, esp ppl like Areum and Ara; you empathize with and root for them
7) beautiful BGM and OST
8) heartwarming relationship between the leads, I shipped so hard
Cons:
1) villains are really evil & you'll grow to hate them, but they're not handled very well imo
2) age gap relationship, that's a bit rushed but YMMV
3) absolutely annoying SML who takes way too much screentime

A Missed for Boxing Fans
Another exciting series that was produce.A little review for the Lovely Boxer
Story Arc
Story is about a genius boxer that is not happy on being a boxer because she suffered from unfortunate circumstances.
then a sports agent comes along and the story started.
First 4 episodes was on point and the story was practical, after the comeback match, the story backtrack from the past
but the story never recovered and final match could have a better angle to the story. because somewhere in episode 7 or 8
the agent was talking to an international promoters, but never got the chance to include the storyline. A little story on the former golf champion turned female sports agent could add some nice touch. There a little background story on Ah Reum the WBC champion, the coaches have a dry side story, there are a lot of angles to work after episode 4, but never went thru for this 12 part series (Short Series).
Acting
So Hye is learning fast as an actress, Ahreum is really interesting, Sang Yeob was into it on the first 4 episode, after that the news brokeout about his wedding, hahaha his acting after episode 4 was a bit rushed. coaches, sparing partner, have small air time, the announcer voice podcast section was a cute touch on episode 6 but too rushed.
Cast
Cast is great
Music
Only 2 stands out one is included on the OST released in an album and a perfect ending theme on Episode 12. and some happy moments on the middle part of the series, the other one, a very good ending theme but they only use it on episode 1 - 4 which is a let down, and they did not use it on the final match.
Rewatch
If you are into sports live action, this is a good watch
Overall
GOOD

Good idea, but the setting was not convincing. Could have been much more hard hitting drama
I really liked the idea of this, but the big hole was the female actors did not look like boxers, even athletes, sprinters have more muscles and abbs, Google female boxers and you will see what a World class female boxer looks like. Covering someone up with multiple layers of clothing and then stripping them off to box convincingly just doesn't work.Good story , but the things to make the setting real were just not there, and no matter how convincing the ML was as a whole it didn't work, and it didn't help that perhaps the most intersting part of the story, match fixing, was at odds with the fuffy young women boxer comeback, which was totally lacking in reality. The irony being that the most real aggression shown was when the ML was being beaten up.
Perhaps the K drama reluctance not let women any thing less than looking pale and perfect, but in a drama about womens boxing, thats just not the look needed.

It was ok
So what did I like about this drama? I liked the idea of this story. There aren't many dramas that focus on female boxers, so I really wanted to watch it. Likewise, I liked the actors, especially Lee Sang Yeob. He really managed to portray his character in a great way.What bothered me about this drama? It was unrealistic in some parts. This story didn't need gangsters or bad people. The boxers acted well, but they didn't look like boxers at all. They looked so weak. They should have looked for actors who look a little more athletic. Then that would have been much better.
You can definitely watch this drama for in between. It's definitely a good drama without a complex story.
