I actually started watching this because I like the ML, and the first and only reviewer (so far) here said they didn't expect to love it this much so I was intrigued. And I totally agree. Unexpectedly great, well written, all round great acting especially from the main leads, seriously talented. Not to mention their amazing chemistry.

It's great to see the plot develop at a good pace as well so it's not frustrating to watch thus far.

For me easily one of the best K series I've seen this year, where other newer have had lots of popularity and viewership but didn't shine in my eyes, this is a brilliant little gem and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

He chemistry between the leads was off the charts. Chae jeong hyeop absolutely killed it - his presence on screen was undeniable, and i couldn't take my eyes off him. The emotional connection between the characters was strong too. It wasn't just about the romance, but how their personal growth and their bond developed over time.

I had so much fun watching this. It's lighthearted, but also had those deep emotional moments that made you feel connected to the characters. A perfect mix of excitement, heart, and chemistry. I was hooked from start to finish! Plus, the sports aspect was a fun backdrop to everything, adding excitement to each episode. You could really feel how much each character cared for their passion and each other. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a drama with heart, fun, and chemistry.

Park Ju-hyun plays Park Tae Yang who was a rising star in the Badminton world until she disappeared following a bribery scandal. She returns after a three year absence to a business team and ends up being paired with Park Tae-joon (Chae Jong Hyeop) in a mixed double partnership. Even though events in the past will put pressure on their budding relationship on and off the court their unconditional love and support for each other will hopefully win the day. It is a believable romance between the leads and has an entertaining group of side characters all putting in a good shift. My main issue was with the slow pace and little depth given to the individuals backstories, a little less badminton with more character development would have improved it.

I didn't find a 'great' different plot that make this unique as other K-Drama. But this coming-of-age romance story that use sport as background still very enjoyable. It's not boring even though it's didn't make me have exploit emotion like laugh or cry.

The story evolves really well in a very needed manner to me as part of the audience. The relationship between the main leads is to a great extent healthy..it is something that has been lacking a lot in the field of kdrama. Park Tae Yang is a former national badminton player who was forced to leave her career behind, it is reality portrayed in a heartfelt romance. I believe that I can consider this Korean Drama as one of the most well written shows ever because it portrayed the agony, pain for the unclear future in a very healing way. I will say in short, it's a healing drama for those who are seeking comfort but not outside their small screen. A highly recommended drama. I do usually recommend all works by actress Park Ju Hyun for her outstanding acting but this one is the best of all!
