Curling Girls (2022)

It's very hard to dramatize curling, but it can and has been done. Unfortunately, this was not one of those cases. It was very difficult for me to get through. The acting, dubbing, and sound mixing were subpar. There were some poor music choices made for certain scenes and the bgm volume was so loud at times that it was distracting. I know this is a low budget mini drama so I wasn't expecting anything award worthy, but these few things ruined the experience for me. On the plus side, the episodes are super short. It seems like the purpose of this drama was to educate people on how the game is played. I guess they did this well. Unfortunately, the excitement of the game did not come through. The drama's aim was to promote the sport and get people interested. It failed to do that. However, I appreciate the friendship that was depicted. Who would have thought there would be so much drama among the curling players? The story itself has many sports drama cliches. Overall, I'd recommend skipping this drama unless you are an avid fan of the sport or the cast. I personally think it would have benefited from being in a movie format instead.
