Rewatch Value 1.0
My first try at a Chinese youth drama. If you watch this drama you should be aware it's about the sport, the training philosophy, the competitions and the hall. There are hints at romance but it is very, VERY CHASTE. Trigger warning applies to this drama. In fact some romantic elements are extremely problematic and abusive. Continuous emotional blackmail into relationships etc. Also, I tried to see past that both her coaches were into her and were pursuing her. This is a big NO NO when a student is in a dependent situation towards a teacher. I understand the romantic fantasy trope this is. But coupled with the emotional blackmail it just became too much. Good production value, nice OST, fun competition and a pretty ok story until the last two episodes where we aren't given answers and a great deal of the side characters stories aren't wrapped up. In the end I am really disappointed with the investment I felt I had with her friends and no solutions to their problems. Everything was loose ended (not even open end). Rewatch value is low. In fact you can just watch the last two episodes and you'll get the whole drama in endless flashbacks.
