Very recommended

Racket Boys: a heart warming, coming of age, sport-center and feel good drama fill with important life lessons and an impressive line of cameos (almost all from Prison Playbook?) I am sure I won't have space to cover all the reasons why I find this drama so worth watching, it'll probably take me more than an post to do so but I really recommend it if you are up to watching a drama with the genre I mentioned at the beginning. If you are not convinced... keep reading.

“Why I am getting Prison Playbook vibe with this drama?!” Was my first reaction when I started Racket boys! And after investigating, I found it was from the same screenwriter! So no wonder why the resemblance in the screenplay techniques. (If you like PPL and love it as much as I do, that's a great reason to start) A little sneak peak? You’ll get closure for Looney's character in here.

If you are hesitating to start it because you think is going to be a boring, sport center drama and moreover about a bunch of teenagers. You are not entirely wrong but is it so much more than that.

I can’t vouch for the badminton-related scenes, for my nonathletic-eyes it was very legit, there where some exaggerated slam scenes but, come on, it was entertaining. Besides, that’s not entirely the point. The point is that this drama is a gem and is underrated. Wish people give it a chance and let these kids make you smile with their energy, motivation and innocence <3
