Pump Up the Healthy Love – K-drama Episode 2 Recap & Review
Episode 2 Episode 2 of Pump Up the Healthy Love begins with Hyeon-joong dealing with various Gym Villains like a man who sweats too much and a group of women who boss around the others. Mi-ran then arrives for her first day of training. Hyeon-joong tests her flexibility, strength, endurance, and so on. She scores at the bottom for all of them and ends the day with incredibly sore muscles. While a voiceover from Hyeon-joong describes the joy of feeling your muscles pain, we see Mi-ran start the following day with even more sore muscles. In the gym, Rosa reminds Hyeon-joong that his previous clients left him. One of the gym's oldest members, named Seong-im, then comes in with a new mirror for the gym. At work at her travel agency, Mi-ran's colleague Ye-jin protests when their boss keeps giving Mi-ran honeymoon packages to work on. But Mi-ran insists she's fine. Ye-jin sees a message from Hyeon-joong to Mi-ran and assumes he is her new boyfriend. She even invites Mi-ran to bring him to her wedding which Joon-seok will also be attending. Later, Mi-ran goes to a store and ends up buying a small-size dress despite it not fitting her. She then goes to the gym and tells Hyeon-joong she's getting a fat-dissolving shot. Hyeon-joong convinces her that he can do the same for her and offers a full refund if she doesn't fit into her dress. What follows is a fantastical vision of hell during which Hyeon-joong accuses Mi-ran of eating too much, being lazy, and not encouraging her most capable self. After an intense workout, she tells him that she didn't trust his life care package at first but now she does. However, Hyeon-joong has some doubts when he sees the dress she wants to wear. At the gym, Hyeon-joong takes a Zumba class in Alex's stead and all the women end up collapsing from the intense workout. On her way home, Mi-ran ends up buying a snack but Hyeon-joon turns up and stops her from eating it. He even drags her back for more workouts. This is followed by a montage of Mi-ran working out over the next few days and following Hyeong-joon's instructions. To Mi-ran's surprise, she fits into the dress. She's ecstatic and runs all the way to the gym to show Hyeon-joong. She then asks him to go to the wedding with her and after some persuasion, he agrees. The next day, though, Mi-ran turns up at the wedding wearing her sister's dress. Turns out, Ji-ran wore her new dress. When her colleagues turn up, Mi-ran pretends Hyeon-joong is her boyfriend and he lets her. She wants to run away when she sees Joon-seok but Hyeon-joong encourages her to face her problem head-on. She approaches Joon-seok, who admits she's looking very pretty. However, as the lights grow dim, glow-in-the-dark words appear on Mi-ran's dress — 'I Love Sex'. Joon-seok huffs and walks away while Mi-ran is left mortified. She squats down to hide it but the back of the dress splits. Hyeon-joong steps in to save her and puts his jacket around her, escorting her out of the wedding at the end of Pump Up the Healthy Love Episode 2. The Episode Review Pump Up the Healthy Love Episode 2, much like the premiere, is fun and lighthearted with a few emotional beats. Hyeon-joong's wide smiles and constant flexing are too over the top for me, but with an entire segment of the series based in a fantastical hell-like space, this drama is reaching for that kind of exaggeration. Your mileage might vary! The story itself moves along quite quickly, I wasn't expecting Mi-ran's transformation to take place by the second episode itself but rather be the crux of the entire series. Instead, a quick montage sees her reach her goal of being able to fit into the small-sized dress. It's pretty satisfying to see Joon-seok look surprised and snagging Hyeon-joong into a fake dating scenario was a pretty fun move. Although I have to say it's pretty obvious that Jun Eun-ji has been skinny this whole time and was simply wearing loose clothes. The speed of Mi-ran's weight loss is also quite unrealistic. But then again, maybe this K-drama isn't going for real as much as it is for fun. Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!

It's loud and proud in its wackiness, especially in the tone, humor, and dialogue. It's over the top and probably not for everyone but I thoroughly enjoyed Eunji and Junyoungs performance. I think this might be the most comedic acting I've seen Eun Ji do in a drama and we're just 2 episodes in, oooh but the second-hand embarrassment from her character alone. After watching both episodes I can say that I really like this drama so far I will be looking forward to it every week. All in all, love the comedy aspect despite some cringy moments, excited to see how the romance develops between the leads. I loved it. Though exaggerated, the portrayal of body pain after working out for the first time is so real. Hahaha. And that winning feeling of being able to fit into your goal dress lol I loved that aspect. And Do is so supportive, even going with her to the wedding.

This is so different from every other Eunji drama. Can't wait for episode 2. I'm watching the first 5 minutes of Pump Up the Healthy Love, and it is so unserious. I LOVE IT. Jeong Eunji not only smiles beautifully but also cries beautifully. Episode 1 starts very interestingly.
