I started this Drama for Wu Qian, and she's the reason I finished it. A real actor, she breathed life and depth into her role. The story itself was fine, and one or two of the side arcs were sweet. BUT, it was far too long. Thirty episodes would have been an absolute maximum for this thin story to really work, twenty-four would have been better.

They could have achieved that by ditching the pointless, go nowhere "love rivals" storylines. Had they done that, and perhaps trimmed the side lovelines from 4 to 3, they could have made a taut, compact story that still spotlighted both the main romance and the messages about sports, personal growth, and choices.

Despite that, I enjoyed the Drama overall, and was impressed by much of the dialog given to Wu Qian's character in the draggy last 10 (at least as translated in the subs). Overall, the strengths outweighed the flaws, putting into a rare category for my small number of completed C Dramas
