Wow! This drama... I am honestly at loss for words how this drama gave me such unexpected feelings! I also learned a lot about baseball and how it's managed. However, it doesn't only revolve in baseball at all. It tackles baseball POLITICS which you don't likely see in a drama.
The plot is so unique and refreshing! From the beginning, knowing that Dreams has been a team that lost many times, it feels like it was hopeless for the team to rise up again, until, newly hired general manager Baek Seung Soo, came into the picture. I couldn't help but admire this man. He was calm, smart, and was very witty. I couldn't help but agree to him with every decision he has made because it was all backed up by facts and evidence. I would also like to applaud for his colleagues, Se Young and Jae Hee are the purest and lovable characters and they're the people who actually worked hard in order to achieve their dreams. I definitely loved how the characters and the plot blended so much. There was such a balance between, the pure and genuine characters, and the corrupt and money-hungry characters. I really loved the execution and the flow of how Dreams started as a team that seems disbanded until they were brought together as one.
I have no words for the acting. Honestly, I can't say anything about Namgoong Min because, from the beginning, I knew he'd deliver it well. He exceeded my expectations!! His character was very complex and mysterious from the beginning 'til the end of the drama and that's why he was very memorable and iconic. There were glimpses of Seung Soo's past, to give us an idea of why he has such a cold aura. I would also like to emphasize on Park Eun Bin. This is my first drama of her and I am so happy with her character and how she delivered Se Young. Se Young is someone bright, cheerful, smart, and very hard-working. I literally had no hard feelings for her character while watching and I loved how she blended with Seung Soo and didn't just treat him as her boss but as her friend as well. Jo Byeong Gu was very fun to watch! Seeing him in such a mature role made me root for him to do more roles like this because he can actually portray diverse roles! Let me mention the supporting cast. They were great! I really loved rooting for them to be better in every episode. Oh Jung Se as the CEO was great. I used to see him in dramas with comedic roles, but seeing him in such a serious role in this drama and executing it well, says a lot about how great his acting skills are.
The OST was great. I really love hearing Kim Dong Hyeok's "Full Power" in every end credits and it just gives off the vibe of how strong the drama is and because of the OST, you'll root for more when it comes to the next eps.
Overall, the storyline was very refreshing and the acting was brilliant. The OST was very empowering. The whole drama felt so warm and encouraging for each and every one of us to be better and reach our dreams. I've learned so much in this drama and one of them is that success wouldn't be achieved if you're alone. This drama will make you be part of something that you'll actually root for by seeing through their hardships and seeing the people who work behind the baseball team. This drama deserved everything to win the Best Drama for Baeksang Awards!
