Love on Green (2022)

Kinda boring, but it does have a few things going for it.

Perhaps I was a little too optimistic when I found this. I mean, if you know me, you know how much I love the sports genre in dramaland. Love On Green necessarily isn't bad, it has many of the right ingredients in the recipe to produce something tasty and memorable. Good production value, good OST, good cast. However, it also lacks the basic fundamentals such as a good story, good characters and good script. I think the biggest reason for this was the length of the episodes, some were hovering around the five-minute mark. So, in that short space of time, I had imagined much more action, especially around the sport: golf, and the golf competition.

In terms of the amount of sport coverage however, I was pleasantly surprised. I mean, the focus on romance was a little too much at points, but it showed enough golf to leave me satisfied. I was happy that scenes regarding golf were done in different ways: such as the different types of gold played. Screen golf, golf via practicing at a driving range, and then playing 'proper' golf as I like to put it. I also liked the golf-related scenes in the office environment which I always think is needed in this genre (instead of working at work, playing sports when playing sports - obviously I understand why this is done, but this is dramaland, not real life!).

Do I recommend this? It's not a definite yes, but if you like watching short episodes at roughly 4 to 8 minutes long, then I think you would like this.
