High-Energy & Slapstick Comedy

Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo

 A coming-of-age romantic comedy that is both sweet and incredibly funny. The genuine and often silly friendship between the leads, along with their food-loving antics and jealous spats, make this a very lighthearted and humorous watch.

Humorous Moments in Other Genres

Goblin (Guardian The Lonely and Great God)
