Volleyball Lover (2010)

I've been watching dramas waiting for a story like this one. The comedy, cliches, the opinionated bossy female lead (which are my favorite kind), her uptight best friend, and her father causing everyone so much trouble. It turned out to be so much fun to see play out.

That being said I do think the plot dragged a bit in the middle. I was bored halfway through the first month they went to training camp. It was understandable that Qian Rui needed to grow as a player, but it definitely could have been condensed into fewer episodes.

Overall though, I really really enjoyed this. I'd consider it a favorite of mine.

I honestly don't know why this drama has the rating it does. While it's a little bit older and parts of the plot are a little dumb, it's very cute and funny and it's quite well acted. There are a lot of good characters and the romance is adorable.

The romance takes time to develop and I could see that being frustrating for some people but the friendship between the main characters before their relationship develops was honestly one of my favorite parts. And the volleyball parts are good too. There are some silly bits but the kind of silly that was mostly cute.

Admittedly, there were some scenes that I skipped through. In the early episodes especially. But if you're looking for something simple and cute with some good characters and fun actors, I would definitely suggest giving this drama a try.
