A little boring, but hey, there's Leo's Abs!
It was okay. I only watched this for Leo Wu (as I assume everyone else did too). I saw Zhou Yu Tong in Begin Again and thought she was cute in that one, I really wished she didn’t cut her hair. She would have looked more youthful, but I guess that wasn’t the point.
There are some things I liked about the drama and somethings (most things I found boring). And I love boring, low angst dramas.
1.) Age-gap dramas are hit or miss for me, I guess because I actually look up the actor’s real age in real life and see how close they are to the characters they play. Leo does play his age, 22 to 23 but Yu Tong (FL) doesn’t, she’s 28 and plays a 32 year old (shaking my head). I guess they didn’t want someone that looked too much older? But of course she looks young, she is young!
2.) A sports storyline is also hit or miss for me. The ML starts out playing Badminton and has a mental block, he can’t play well because he has trauma. I really didn’t care for this storyline and oh boy did they use this storyline for a long time. Kind of basic right?
3.) The show was kind of boring. I don’t know how much drama that can be stirred up with a bunch of tennis players, but the drama was focused more on the corporate side, who owns the players and so forth. So the political side was not my jam. I kind of wished the drama was between the players (more than what was played out), but I guess the script writers were trying to be different.
4.) The chemistry was luke-warm at best and the leads kissed a lot! I was really surprised on all of the skinship scenes, looks like Leo is growing up or is feeling the pressure to do more physical scenes. Even though we get plenty of hugs and kisses, I wasn’t truly convinced on their “romance”.
I liked…
1.) They didn’t re-use a lot of clothing and it was super modern. Makes me want to wear sportswear and work out.
2.) I liked the secondary couple, the rich-young “Prince” and spoiled bratty sister. They had most growth in the storyline. I found it cute the way he teased her and she kept on telling him he was a joke. I stopped fast forwarding and watched their parts.
3.) There’s plenty of fan-service in this drama. Leo is shirtless a lot, his shorts are very short and you will always see some form of abs or thighs. So, there you go. I also liked the second male lead was very masculine and not the usual, super skinny look. It’s okay to eat!
4.) The drama is low, even though I found the overall show boring, the angst was low and so it was fairly easy to watch. I do like the later episodes where everyone is finally coming around and you get a lot of happy moments.
Overall, watch the show for the leads, if you are a fan and want to see Leo’s abs, then this is for you. If you don’t really care for sports theme dramas or the actors, then it’s okay passing on the drama.
