Spirit Fingers Review

In this extremely hyped adaptation of a much-loved webtoon, we see a shy Song Woo-yeon shedding her awkwardness and discovering the woman she is. In the midst, she comes across the most eclectic group of young adults (and some adults), who guide her through life’s ups and downs and give her a new perspective.

Spirit Fingers is one of the most endearing shows I have started this year, and it’s made an impression right from its very first episode. The series is light-hearted yet presents complex emotions as Woo-yeon unlearns some things about herself and juggles a few responsibilities. The series is sweet and warm, while also being a reminder of the ups and downs teenagers go through in the phase between childhood and adulthood.

I think the best part about the series is the fantastic casting. Park Ji-hu is possibly the best candidate for Woo-yeon – she plays the shy, awkward and cute teenager who still hasn’t broken out of her shell too well, and you will feel a sort of kinship for her from the very first episode. Apart from her, Jo Joon-young, Choi Bo-min, Park You-na, Kwon So-hyun, Kim Seul-gi, Lee Jin-hyuk, and Im Chul-soo are fantastic as well and balance out the worldbuilding extremely well. Their chemistry makes for the best part of the show and adds to the hilarity of the situation.

It also captures the essence of this awkward phase of life beautifully, and you can clearly figure out who is in what phase by how well the actors portray their characters. For example, there’s a clear distinction between Gi-jeong, Seon-ho and Dong-geon, all of whose lives differ vastly from one another. Gi-jeong’s playful childishness fondly reminds you of your younger days when we were all desperately immature. It’s heartening to watch such a great representation of the different seasons of your life, and the actors deserve the kudos for that.

However, what drew me the most was how the feeling of first love and that innocent attraction for someone is represented in the drama. It’s all so warm and innocent that viewers will find themselves drawn to the story even more, becoming immersed in these characters as the episodes unfold. The editing, too, is fantastic and adds to the humour of the show. The slice-of-life aspect is spot-on, and there isn’t a moment when you feel bored at any point. The series is hilarious and chaotic, something that will appeal to most viewers and thoroughly entertain you.

Final Thoughts

If you like slice-of-life rom-coms, then this will appeal to you. It’s a sweet, hilarious and endearing watch that will entertain you to no end as the chaos engulfs you from start to finish. Even the immature characters have relatability to them that will leave you in splits as they engage in the most unnecessary drama possible. In the end, I found myself desperate for a few more episodes, which is always a good feeling to have!
