What a journey. It was amazing. It unexpectedly made me emotional and kind of teary-eyed. You know that feeling when something so amazing happens it feels like you could fly. Just like the name of the team "Dreams" it made me feel that again. Not just that, but the plot, execution, acting, writing, cinematography and OST were so well done. It was just perfect. You might think, "what a baseball drama??" and even without romance (damn there was no needed and I seriously did not wish for one), it was better than most of your "most popular" dramas. Even though this series is quite underrated in the international fanbase, it did quite well in korea, which I am so glad for. It deserves to be recognised. For anyone hesitating: DO NOT!


First off I'd like to say that this is one of the very few (maybe even the only one) dramas that I started watching when it was still ongoing and I finished it. I knew even before I clicked on the first episode that I would love this. But this exceeded my expectations and I couldn't asked for more.
It is not you typical kdrama, you can figure that out from the synopsis anyways, but it was a lot more emotional and idealistic than I'd expected. It was a perfect mix between logical, business-minded plot, but then they serve you a feast of idealistic mindsets and emotional reasoning. Just like how Baek Seung Soo structured his last presentation. It was beautiful. They are not just people that sell, buy and trade players. I don't like serious dramas that much, especially the ones that are some dramatic that I don't know what to feel anymore. But even though this was kind of serious, it had just the right amount of humour and hype without making it loose it's "flare".
Seeing the whole managing team develop from being moody, tired, miserable and hopeless to inspired, motivated and friendly, was so satisfying. The way Baek Seung Soo won every single one of them over slowly but surely. But let's talk about Baek Seung Soo. What a man. Nam Goong Min perfectly portrayed him, or even made him (!). He is a genius of few words, someone who works hard, but never brags or talks about it. Someone who is responsible and knows how to analyse data and work with it. He just knows how people work. But he wasn't perfect, and he changed for the better just like he changed Dreams. The subtle savageness of him, I will never forget. I have to say, I enjoyed Mr. Kwon's character a lot. He showed a lot of character development and the chemistry between him and Baek Seung Soo was so nice. I loved their small quarrels! (It was so cool to see that he and BSS are still "friends" after he resigned). Also, damn was that satisfying seeing him putting his uncle and cousin back to their places.
I don't think they could've chosen a better name for the team "Dreams" it sounds so grand and beautiful. They definitely made me feel that way. They went from being a hopeless team, to be a team of "Dreams". Even the word "Team" and "Dreams" sound similar, but I think I am interpreting too much here.
Even though they left me with a bittersweet feeling, because Baek Seung Soo couldn't stay with them, I am so okay with the fact that his "image" of bringing a team to victory and leaves, stays. Even if this image is sad, I can imagine him conquering another sports team.
Lee Jae Hoon's cameo was such a hype moment and boy it lasted for long! I loved that he played a quite important role and ugh I loved it.
Damn I am left so empty but satisfied, I think I might just rewatch it right now!
