A solid hit. Welcome back Timmy!

I'm really liking it so far. I'm a huge fan of Timmy because of Addicted but I hadn't liked any of his other dramas so far. I'm quite picky and I only like shows which have a solid script and fully developed, rounded characters. This one stands out both for the plot and the characters.

The two main actors play their roles beautifully and the dichotomy between them -- one was born to win, the other is more of an underdog -- works really well on screen.

I also like the wider cast. The friendship and the rivalry within a professional sports' team is portrayed in a very realistic, if touching way.

I'm not a fan of sports and I've never watched any table tennis match before, but I like to see what is going on "behind the scenes", the coaches, the paperwork and the like. I also like to see the ML's family situation and how personal issues reflect on their performance and attitude.

Too early to form a definitive opinion but for now I'd say this show is a hit. Congratulations to all the involved. It's been a few months since I didn't drop any C-drama which came my way after the first few episodes. It reminds me a little of "Skate into Love" since it has the same nationalist, self-achievement topics. I love it and I hope it only gets better from now on.
