Heartfelt and emotional, definitely a binge-worthy drama.

Pros:
[+] A strong theme of friendship and overcoming challenges. This created some of the most emotional and hilarious scenes throughout the whole drama.
[+] In terms of tennis matches, what made them especially fun to watch was the anticipation of waiting for each player's special move to be revealed.
[+] The character development was spread equally, which doesn't happen often when there's such a huge supporting cast. Each team member, and even players from other teams had their own chance to grow and develop.

Cons:
[-] Some minor loose ends could have been tied up better, specifically relating to how Xinglong and Dayong dealt with their main challenge in the series.

Memorable characters: all of the main players in Yu Qing, Huang Jing, Zhuo Yu, Ji Jingwu, Yuan Chi, Bai Shiting

I put off watching this for a while because the plot summary made the concept seem shallow, but it turned out to be the complete opposite. Plot twists on top of plot twists, this drama was really something special. In terms of acting, all of the main leads were fantastic, especially when certain emotions were most difficult to express. As for execution, it's clear that the director was really careful to tie every scene together and not forget the details from beginning to end. Finally, the ending was fleshed out a lot in the final episode despite this series being so short, and left me pretty satisfied with the moral of the story. Highly recommended!
