IF YOU'RE HANGING IN THERE YOU HAVEN'T REACHED YOUR LIMIT. 

Oh My Venus is one such series that has taught me to be strong no matter what, that 'if you put your mind to it, you can do  anything'. The drama unfolds so many scenarios where a person would not be able to help but succumb to their misery yet somehow the characters always manage to come out of it stronger than ever.😤:fighting:

The story is about a 33 year old lawyer Kang Joo-Eun who in her college days was the beauty of Daegu and had a nickname 'Daegu Venus'. However in order to pass the Bar exams she studied day and night and gained a lot of weight eventually she became successful in clearing her exams but lost on her beauty still she was satisfied and content as  she had the two things at point, her love life and her career. Soon Kang Joo-Eun realises that her 10 year long relationship is collapsing and somehow ends up concluding it is because of her weight and makes up her mind that no matter what, she would bring her old glory back. For this Kang Joo-Eun seeks the guidance of a very famous professional trainer Kim Young-Ho ( a.k.a John Kim ) who has returned to Korea recently to escape from a scandal back in U.S with a Hollywood actress.

Their first encounter is really embarrassing for Kang Joo-Eun, as a life threatening situation unfolds on her and she was saved by Young-Ho but that doesn't stop them from falling in love in any way in fact there entire relationship is entwined in the prospects of health and fitness.😤🙌 

Kang Joo-Eun's self esteem really drops when she could not become the brains with the beauty as she aspired in her college days but Young-Ho comes to her rescue every time and despite her strong character you will often witness her in need of someone to save her out of the situation and that someone always ends up to be the charming and dashing Kim Young-Ho. She is a woman who is very strong and affirmative and we can clearly see the evolution of her character throughout the series.💪

About Young-Ho (male lead), like any Kdrama male lead his life is full of great misery, but his misery comes in the form of a devastating illness due to which he spends most of his childhood in hospitals and that's what takes him to The States in the first place. As they say what doesn't kill you makes you strong, Young's illness in the same way became the reason why he is so persistent and keen on fitness.

 Young-Ho has some really amazing set of friends, I'm sure you'll love them and especially all the four (Young-Ho, Kang Joo-Eun and Kim's friends) of them together, it's such a prize to the eye.👐😍

The story also has the angle of Kang Joo-Eun's ex-boyfriend who starts dating her best friend from school. Kang Joo-Eun's friend or rather former friend, Oh Soo-Jin used to be very fat back in her college days and was often ridiculed by people for the same. However Oh Soo-Jin transforms herself completely and ends up being Kang Joo-Eun's senior at the law firm. The worst part of this angle is that Kang Joo-Eun's ex starts acting in the most typical way after she gains her glory back.

The journey from scratch till the end will be heart-breaking 💔with a lot of life lessons but I assure you, never would you want to leave it in between.

Also there are times when you'll realize that even belly fat sometimes comes in handy.😝😜
