A teenager boxer whose sudden rise through the ranks took the nation by storm, suddenly disappears before her eagerly anticipated match.  Now, 3 years later, she is living a quiet life as a kindergarten teacher with no intention of ever getting back in the ring.  When a crafty sports agent shows up at her job, promising he can help her officially retire from boxing and finally put the sport behind her once and for all with just 3 matches, she hopes she can trust him to keep his word.  But first, she needs to get back into fighting shape and find a way to step foot back into the fighting ring she hates so much.  

But this drama isn’t for everyone.  It is purposefully slow paced and the trauma experienced by the leads isn’t always easy to watch, with subjects like emotional abuse and suicide.  There is a small amount of violence, both in and out of the ring, although it is not extreme.Also, the leads are 16 years apart as well as being in an agent/athlete relationship.  And while the romance and skinship is subtle, some people seem to have an issue with that.  But for me, it was an enjoyable series with genuine characters and a talented cast.  I give ‘My Lovely Boxer’ an 9 out of 10 ramen.
