This is the drama that ruined all other dramas for me. Upon finishing weightlifting fairy, I was sure that I would never be able to find another drama as good as this one: it had topped all my lists. This drama was like a breath of fresh air; it was so heartflutteringly cute.

STORY:
When I first read the title, I was a bit hesitant about watching this drama because I didn't think a sports-themed drama could be cute. THANK GOD I gave it a shot because it was the best decision I have ever made. The plot is very original and steered clear of your usual cliches. LSK's character, Bok Joo was just so real and relatable. Not to mention I loved the character development between the two leads. This drama was like a breath of fresh air amongst all the other angsty dramas that make you extremely frustrated at the plot and the characters. Although there are conflicts in this drama, the characters resolve and learn from them. This is the only drama I have watched where it actually feels real, like you can feel the support that everyone gives Bok Joo when she's upset.

ACTING/CAST:
Hands down the best chemistry I have ever seen between two leads, and no wonder because LSK and NJH were revealed to be actually dating!! You can tell it's not fake, it's as if LSK and NJH were actually flirting with each other on camera. Even the characters I hated at first (like Shi Ho) I grew to like because the character development is really good! Bok Joo's team and her friends are so funny and supportive.

MUSIC:
OST is super cute! I found myself listening to it on spotify after I finished the drama.

REWATCH VALUE:
I've rewatched this 3 times and it never gets old! It's one of those dramas where you can just choose one random episode and just watch it while you're eating or doing something else.

OVERALL:

10/10 even 11/10 because it's so good! Give it a chance! You will love it :)
