Sport drama?

Best sports drama i ever watched is Go Goal Fighting (Chinese). If you are looking a sports anime feel (as a sports anime fan myself) this is as close as you got. It's about a high school soccer team. It has romance but as side stories mostly. Writing is good and It also uses school / youth drama tropes well. Highly recommended.

Buzzer Beat (Japanese) is among my favs but smilar to Weightlifting Fairy it's more a love story than a sports story. Sports scenes pretty solid, leads chemistry off the charts. A must watch.

Whirlwind Girl (Chinese) is also pretty solid. It's about a girl who loves taekwando. One of the main dudes can be really annoying and it ends with a cliffhanger.

Well...It's not a drama, but this movie will give you the Free! feeling(? idk.

Fight My Way has a strong theme about a tae kwon do fighter. It's not only about that, but it definitely also is about going after your dreams as an athlete. I personally loved it. Watched one of the fight scenes 4 times ;)

@ NanaChin, You're right, but Weightlifting Fairy and My Mr Mermaid that she mentioned are shows that are very heavily romance-based (very cute, too) and Thumping Spike II has a very similar vibe to those two, so I thought she would like them :)
