This was such a fun and light-hearted watch! The combination of seeing our underdogs follow their dreams, plus a really sweet romance — was done perfectly. The transition from rivals to friends to lovers is really believable, and I have to give props to our two leads for having such natural acting. The chemistry is really good, especially when they are just spending time with each other, doing nothing.

The sports scenes were choreographed quite well also. There are a few shots where you can tell it's acting, but overall, the competitions have the tension and anticipation that they need, making defeat feel as depressing and victories feel as cathartic as they each need to be.

Ultimately, I had such a great time watching this drama. There are frustrating misunderstandings, as well some common tropes, but they are actually used well and the character develops accordingly. I also admit — I cringed from secondhand embarrassment a few times, but still loved this drama overall.
