A disgraced rugby star (drug abuse) is hired by an athletics school to coach a bunch of no hopers. The female principal Miss Kang is an old friend of his. She seems to have some power but is easily over ridden by the dirty tricks of the schools corrupt officials The story begins with the rugby captain not accepting him - and the rest of the team going along with him. However when he takes up the cudgels for them they soon change their minds.

And this is where the story gets bogged down. Every time he beats a challenge another is presented to him by the corrupt officials - it goes on and on - every scene they pull a dirty trick on him which he narrowly overcomes. To add insult to injury this is one of Netflix's drawn out series that takes weeks to watch. I was bored by the constant conflict and the poor acting of some of the cast. What passes for Korean comedy does not appeal to me.

To make matters worse the resolution is obvious and I saw no reason to endure the never ending same scenario until the end of the month.

This was a losing game for me.

This plot has been done many times before. A ruthless Inspector - grieving for his murdered daughter is accepted back into the force to find the "raincoat killer" who murdered his colleagues son. Of course he needs a motley crew to help him out. All criminals serving long sentences.

Now you would think that such a violent crew would require a powerful male to keep them under control - you would be wrong - they end up with Captain Alice - who believes that using violence to deal with criminals is wrong - and every time it happens there she is with her gun drawn. This happens so many times it is intensely irritating. The usual ego stroking is there with countless references to her as "gorgeous" and to one of the criminals as "pretty boy". It is mildly amusing how Race and Yak compete with each other in order to catch the criminals and earn time off their sentences.

I thought the Inspector over acted his part and spent most of his time enveloped in a cloud of smoke.

Of course the crew develop a camaraderie and comradeship by the end.

It would have been better without Alice.
