"Bok-joo is a weightlifter who is pursuing her dream of winning the gold medal, but she then finds romance for the first time in her life. While she is a woman who trains with heavy steel weights, she is also very feminine when it comes to relationships. Focusing solely on weightlifting would jeopardize her relationship but leaving her weightlifting career for love would keep her from attaining her dreams. Can she find a way to have love as well as glory at the age of 20? The characters within this drama are elite athletes in weightlifting, swimming and rhythmic gymnastics who work hard to reach their goals in life. It covers their coming-of-age stories and relationships through hectic life."

This is the full set of 16 episodes. Each one is about an hour, the shortest being 59 minutes and the longest 63 minutes. They all have edited "soft" English captions; that is, English subtitles are part of the MKV file and the subtitles can be enabled or disabled as you wish.

I downloaded the source files "720p.HDTV.x264-AREA11" and obtained the best subtitles (NEXT VIU) from subscene.com. Then I...
- Used Subtitle Edit (by Nikolaj Lynge Olsson) to find and fix all flagged issues
- Used a linear video editor to mask off the occasional, distracting MBC advertisements at the bottom of the videos
- "Softened" all subtitled profanity (bastard --> jerk, damn --> darn, bitch --> witch etc.)
- Corrected commonly-found typos, also converting many word pairs into their common English contractions
- Watched the series and made additional corrections, also italicizing music lyrics, characters' thoughts, or off-screen dialogue.
- Used Handbrake to add the subtitles as soft subtitles
