Beautiful Cinematography

Jang Dong Yoon is to be congratulated for how he literally threw himself into this role - so different from previous characters he's played. Every scene he does has a real authenticity to it. Personally I have no interest in wrestling, but the cinematography is absolutely stunning, whether landscape or interior shots of the matches or carefully color co-ordinated and filtered images of the community. The production really is beautifully made. The plotline is slowly introduced leaving us with continuing questions, so there is also a subtlety and air of mystery which isn't easy to unravel.

The only thing I didn't like was the f/l writing - nothing against the actor, but her adult personality was kinda dull set against all the others and what on earth with the continual head hitting ?!! They could at least have made her grow up and stop it!
Her detective skills also aren't that great!
That is the only reason I have marked it down.
It's definitely worth a watch for a gradually unfolding interesting story with skin.

Engaging, funny, informative. A must watch!

This is such an engaging drama with very true to life characters. It is poignant & funny and unpredictable. The plot also includes excellent sxl health advice for people of all ages and at the same time digs deep into emotional wellbeing.

The characters all go on individually interesting journeys which carry us along with them.

A great cast delivers each character in an authentic way - and some like the super talented JC Lin, with added benefits
???

Here's hoping for Series 2 ??
