> In human lifespan, the period of early adulthood considered to be the most crucial time in shaping up a person’s entire future. Either they can destroy it by their own hand or can flourish it with good deeds and extreme diligence.

PLOT
-------
Gang-soo was the nice tough guy living and meddling with issues of other people ; he moves a town every 2months and makes lot of friends with his good deeds.No amount of pain or sufferings could reduce his self-respect, determination and devotion towards achieving his dreams.
Dan-A has a tough early adulthood and gives up the hope in other humans and Korea ; so wants to emigrate out of "Hell Joseon" . When she puts her heart and soul to something, she made sure to stick to it till the end. Her devotion towards achieving her dream was laudable.
Ji-Yoon after being a good daughter wants to follow her own footsteps so escapes home ; she has manipulative tendencies which inherited from her mom , she is determined but tends see world in her own view as being bought up rich.
Jin-Gyu the second son Chaebol is considered an embarrassment and abused ; so he lives upto being a loser by just playing around with his cars.

When the four of them meet ; they discover what they missing and change themselves to the better.
From another view point the story was also a sort of tribute to the delivery people who were in many ways or the other pretty much neglected by the society.
I like the perspective of the story tellers. They have shown young people from both affluent and destitute social strata. Having being born in a privilege class doesn’t necessarily bring happiness. The affluent young people can also fight for making a life of their own individual choices.
Keeping “delivery service” as a base two factors are highlighted both life of youth and life of deliverymen. The integration or the interconnections of both the subject was intelligent. However, the dramatization was a lackluster.

One thing I have noticed while watching is that the show almost has no clichés. I mean, there were so many times when the writer could have go with the usual tropes and annoy the viewers, but she didn’t do it. I’m very thankful, because I’m so tired of same clichés and tropes. ‘’Strongest Deliveryman’’ has its own rules and that’s what differs it from other rom-coms. Despite being a very light and sweet drama overall, it doesn’t fail to bring depth and emotion to the narrative. It makes you think and feel. Don’t dig too deep though, the drama doesn’t take itself that seriously. It’s actually very simple but that’s why I love it so much.



CAST
------
Go Kyung Pyu was perfect for his role ; the character portrayed by him is simply a person with tenacity of doing well to others, spreading wellness and reciprocating them. He was always thoughtful of his nearer and dearer ones around him which subsequently brought glad tidi

Kim Sun Ho, though played his first main role [and he did full justice to it ; [spoiler]I liked to see him suffer as I don't like him being the pretend good guy in Start-up airing right now [/spoiler]

Go Won Hee was quite natural playing out Ji Yoon’s eccentricity. She is infact one of the highlights of the show ; she is eccentric , cutsey and smart but appears naive , also her selfishness is on-par with her mother but her ideals and priorities are straight as an arrow despite her upbringing ; she never felt privileged .

Soo-bin was the disappointment as her plastic face and robotic body language doesn't deliver the emotions of here character .


VERDICT
-----------

Having said so much, the main theme of the story is excellent but there was some problem with the portrayal. The first few episodes were riveting but gradually it was losing its luster and became boring. The story kind of revolved in one business idea, eventually, along the line losing the dynamic essence as the episodes progressed. Something was lacking of great deal which I could not pinpoint perfectly and i lost interest in last 4 episodes as the ending was nowhere near and stalled till last few minutes.

[spoiler] I liked the ending for Jin-gu and Ji-Yoon. When he tries to ask her will she regret not relying on her mother ; she says definitely not . Also at the end she says "Not Yet " . She is one character that is true to herself till the end . [/spoiler]

Overall, ''Strongest Deliveryman''is a drama with an entertaining story, good characters, fairly decent acting and pretty nice OST. It has romance, bromance and an unexpected plot twist in the middle which noone could have predicted. It has its own charm and is very easy to watch. I recommend it if you are not in a mood for a serious watch but you still want something gripping. I think if you only pay attention to the positive aspects and not search for the negative, you'll definitely enjoy it!
