Searching for the missing Kim So-hye in My Lovely Boxer

Another teaser is out for the KBS sports drama My Lovely Boxer, which is still choosing to remain enigmatic about its leads. Just like its previous teasers, the drama continues to dole out information in bite-sized pieces — but we do get to hear more perspectives regarding our titular boxer’s mysterious disappearance.

Kim So-hye (Her Bucket List) plays star boxer Lee Kwon-sook, whose name is recognized far and wide in the boxing sphere. Having risen to fame when she was just 17, Kwon-sook is renowned for her exceptional skill. Even a veteran boxer holds her in high regard, describing her as an outstanding athlete. Other longtime champions muse that they doubt Korea will see another boxer as extraordinary as Kwon-sook again — as people with experience in the ring, they can easily tell that she’s one of a kind.

As such, not a single boxer can fathom why Kwon-sook abruptly left the boxing scene. We see clips of her duking it out in the ring, and the sheer ease with which she dodges her opponents’ attacks is simply unmatched. Her punches are swift and steady, dealing blow after blow to her opponents and sending them reeling. Kwon-sook was clearly on the path to athletic stardom — so why did she give it all up?

That question is one which Lee Sang-yub (Eve) wants to answer. As the sports agent Kim Tae-young, his next mission is to track down the elusive Kwon-sook and recruit her. When he finds her, however, she’s already settled down into a new life entirely divorced from her boxing days. Evidently, Kwon-sook’s athletic career wasn’t as rosy as it seemed on the surface.

The teaser draws to a close with the crowd of boxing spectators enthusiastically chanting Kwon-sook’s name with gusto, but it’s clear that their beloved athlete doesn’t share their joy. Kwon-sook turns to face the camera, and she’s wearing a forlorn expression — seemingly disillusioned and drained by the demands of the ring.

Produced by the duo behind Let Me Hear Your Song — PD Choi Sang-yeol and scriptwriter Kim Min-ju — the novel adaptation My Lovely Boxer premieres on August 21, and will run for 12 episodes.
