Strong Leads with Amazing Chemistry

I don't watch CDramas usually and I just went into this one blind. And loved every second of it.

I loved the ML and FL. They love what they do (ice skating) and are good at it. They don't always win, but face setbacks and disappointments which they work hard to overcome. Of course, they both are portrayed as especially (a bit fantastically) talented players, but I think that is acceptable in a drama like this.

Their interactions with each other was soooo cute. Great on-screen chemistry. It has tropes of contract relationship and friends-to-lovers. They both play different sports (are not competitors) and help each other grow. One reason I stay away from CDramas is how the FL is always a bit less talented than the ML and don't sense much respect between the two, but this one was different. They both were equals and supportive of each other.

The sports part was done very well. There were some issues with how the sports scenes were shot, but mostly ignorable. I especially loved the upbeat OST of the sports scenes. Actually, the OST was pretty good overall and did wonders for the drama quality.

There were a lot of cliches involved, and the drama was light and fluffy (you pretty much know the ending when you start), but it was an overall enjoyable watch (even though the ending was a bit rushed; I would've loved to see more of the characters life at the end; it was too abrupt). All the characters complemented each other and did their part well. So hurray to the casting, too.

Go into it if you want to relax and have a good laugh. This drama delivers exactly what it promises. Happy watching!
