I recall randomly picking up this series 2 years ago?
Originally for the thumbnail and ended up binging to the latest chapter.

Yes it's a Korean Isekai story but a brilliant take on bodybuilding/exercise in a historical era. I believe this is the only Manhwa that is able to make a series in old Korean Era fascinating. The MC himsefl is a decent young adult who majored in nutrition with body building as a hobby. So after becoming a past figure in the new world, he decides to create a revolution with exercise.

If anything, this Manhwa is top tier with well crafted explanations, details, exercise implementations all ... around. The time passage is a little fast but respectable. You don't even have to be a body buiilder to keep up with the story. Though it will remind me deeply about the importance of exercise.

Do you love working out? Do you love muscles? Do you love the joseon history? Do you love progress in romance so fast in a manhwa that it breaks records? This is all of that.

You’ve got a gym rat trainer transported back to the Joseon era. While the setting is supposedly historically accurate, I can’t promise everything holds up perfectly—but I’d be lying if I said this series isn’t intriguing. And I’m not even a history buff!!!

Although I’m not a history buff ; that doesn’t make this series any less enjoyable. I am in fact also a workout enjoyer… You don’t have to be a ... history buff or even physically buff to enjoy this manhwa though! It’s very interesting diving into the gym bro science and a dabble of historical joseon politics.

The characters are not all really memorable except for the “main” characters that are important to the story. That artwork is good for a manhwa, it reflects joseon beautifully and although might not be accurate, still is amazing with sits own modern fitness instructor in this era twist. There is development in fast romance that will make your jaw drop, and development in the main side character stories that will also make your jaw drop.

Overall, for the gym bros, history buffs and last but not least the fluffy fast relationships lovers, this is a hell of a read. I approve, I recommend and yes I will be expecting you to give this a try and doing some pushups after reading it. 💪
