我们场上是对手 我们场下是朋友

This drama really show the hardships national players faced throughout their journey to championship. There is only one championship, there can only be one champion yet there are so many people fighting for it. The struggles they faced, injuries they sustained while training and the amount of effort they put in is something we cannot imagine.

The ping pong scenes were so well-executed and initially thought it was cgi but saw the behind the scenes video of the actors actually playing like a pro!!

Romance was totally unnecessary in this drama. Sorry to say but I skipped most of the romance scenes. I wished they focused more on the dynamics, teamwork and friendship of the players.

Bai Jingting, Xu Weizhou, Wan Guopeng's acting was outstanding! Other supporting actors was also good in portraying their characters. The only complain I have is Coach Zheng.. his character is so annoying and spiteful in this drama. He have so many players under his care but he only care about the one that is most likely to be a champion. He never once hide his disdain for other players especially Xu Tan and Yu Ke Nan. Is this how a coach is supposed to behave?

OST is good!!! My top 2 tracks are:
?荣耀乒乓 by. BJT, XWZ
?一左一右 by. BJT

Overall, there are quite a few plot holes and unanswered questions despite it having 44 episodes.
