Live Your Own Life Season 1 Review – An underappreciated gem filled with heartwarming moments

Live Your Own Life Season 1 Review

The romantic Korean drama Live Your Own Life revolves around the fitness instructor Hyo-sim, who has established quite a name for herself at TS Fitness. However, she constantly feels the strain of her family responsibilities and is unable to fulfill her own dreams as a result. She is a dutiful daughter who plays the role of a patriarch in the household. With four brothers and no sisters, Hyo-sim takes on the responsibility of managing the family’s finances and dealing with the less appealing household chores.

While her oldest brother is self-absorbed and only cares about his own family, her second and youngest brothers are both bright but selfish. Furthermore, when Hyo-sim turns to her mom for protection from her overbearing brothers, her mom always takes their side. Hyo-sim’s life changes drastically when her knight in shining armor, Kang Tae Ho, a devoted young gym member, acts as the final straw after a string of setbacks. She makes the first move towards inner peace by deciding that nothing is more important than taking back her life.

A number of themes, including familial ties, independence, and the pursuit of one’s own happiness, are explored throughout the show. An enemies-to-lover trope is also present in the Korean drama, which works wonderfully to complement the dramatic elements of the household situations. Furthermore, as the show progresses, it adds a humorous element to the storyline, making sure it doesn’t get too serious.

The show begins with a strong foundation, and as it progresses, the plot becomes increasingly exciting. Despite its fifty episodes, the show captivates viewers, keeping them engrossed in the drama week after week. In addition to the primary storyline, the show features a bunch of characters and plenty of subplots that are taking place simultaneously. In the beginning, it seems as though the show might end up ruining the story. However, the show manages to do justice to all of its characters, both major and minor, and the reason that it is able to do this is because it has fifty episodes. This is a remarkable accomplishment.

Furthermore, the characters and their arcs are extremely fascinating and grounded. The beginning of the show features plenty of characters that are not particularly likeable, such as Sun-soon and Sook-hyang. On the other hand, as the plot develops, you also start to feel sympathy for these characters, even though you don’t root for the antagonistic characters, especially Sook-hyang.

Having said that, there were times when the show appeared to be excessively unrealistic. There are too many coincidences that occur throughout the course of the show. For example, Hyo-sim’s family and Tae-ho’s family end up working together or becoming involved with each other in some way. Tae-hee and Hyo-do are two examples of this. Tae-ho, Tae-min, and Hyo-sung are also examples of people who found themselves working together. Having said that, if you focus solely on the fact that it is fiction and disregard these aspects, then this is not a particularly significant problem.

The romantic Korean drama as a whole is a ride that is not only enjoyable but also extremely dramatic, and it will take you through a roller coaster of feelings. If you stick around till the end, you end up getting attached to the characters and their journeys. You are kept guessing throughout the entirety of the show because it does an excellent job of keeping its characters interesting by introducing a great deal of twists and turns. Do not miss out on the opportunity to watch this underappreciated gem if you are looking for a Korean drama that is both moving and entertaining.
