Give it a chance! Watch it for the leads
Okay so, I watched first episode 7/8 mins then I decided not to watch it when it first aired. Then two days ago, I had nothing to watch and this popped up in front my screen so I decided to give it a go AND I'm glad I did!
To be honest, it was very normal and the story is very similar to other college sport dramas BUT this is the very reason why you should watch it, I could compare it to other dramas and it was way better in many terms. The team did a great work giving us enjoyable 46 mins each episode.
I am not familiar with the main leads, but I loved them! Their acting was great. They portrayed SZY and SBS perfectly. Their character was refreshing, them as individuals and as a couple were loveable. They had a very mature relationship, emotionally I mean. They were mature plus cute at the same time. As I've said before, the story is nothing special, but when the story is not special it depends on the leads who act to judge a drama, and in my opinion you should watch this one for the leads.
2nd leads are great friends to main leads individually, they're humorous. But them as a couple... I'm not so sure. It was kind of rushed and had no depth. I wish writer could give their story more depth and gave them reasonable choices.
Coach Xiao disappointed me at last, I liked him all the way but knowing the reason for his actions disappointed me. I understand that he had his reasons and a past he couldn't let go of, it happens. Everyone has something they cannot let go of I totally understand. But that does not justify his actions. He was very unprofessional, when SZY felt betrayed I felt like I was betrayed. I'm glad he returned and pulled himself altogether. But it left a bitter feeling inside me.
Talking about XQ, I couldn't quite understand her character, like did she never think of SZY as a friend and only approached her cuz of SBS? I really liked her at first, I couldn't take my eyes off her at the rink. But then, did she come all the way to China leaving a great opportunity in Korea just because she liked SBS? they work great as partners, I admit. But the way she lied about her relationship with ml to fl and the way she turned a blind eye to the reality when she could clearly see ml likes fl, I don't know what to say, I thought of her as a smart person, she was skilled and pretty. She could become a character I genuinely root for. Well, I guess some things just don't go as plan and my wish right?
Soundtracks were great, I loved them. I would like to watch it someday again ＾▽＾
