This would have been a much better story without the female lead. She went from being a fan to being a stalker in the first three episodes and then just continued throughout the drama. It got so I had to either mute her lines or just fast forward. She was so annoying. She talked like a toddler. She was supposed to be a high school student. There were just too many scenes when she appeared where she shouldn't have been; like running onto the court when Lu Xia got hurt.; or talking to the captain of the team about Lu Xia being a regular member of the team. And wanting him to put on his team uniform when he would be wearing soon for practice or a match. She pouted like a child until he gave in. He couldn't turn a corner without her lurking there. I know this is all about entertainment and fantasy, but it really got to be too much. A little common sense is not a bad thing either.

She was the coaches' niece, so she obviously knew better. I've watched the anime version numerous times and never get tired of it. The female protagonist in the anime comes off as cute and likeable. She remained behind the scenes more but was still a large but not overbearing part of the story.

The remaining cast was OUTSTANDING. It was really a wonderful group of young handsome men who shined with their acting skills. One thing that was a little bit annoying about the male protagonist was that he was constantly drinking a sweet soda (looked like Fanta) throughout. My teeth hurt just watching him guzzle down those soft drinks one after another. If it were the real deal his teeth would have possibly rotted out before the end of the filming of this drama. But he played his character well and delivered a really good performance. The coach, the dad, and all the other characters and tennis teams were really fun to watch, and they gave great performances.

Finally bear in mind that this is my own honest take on this production. You may not agree and that's okay. I respect your opinion and hope that you in turn can respect mine. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!
