Same... I want to see players, their growth, and the way they come back stronger at every step but 😖
"Each film, each story has its own way of being told. If it only focused on rugby, it would be a bit boring, and in recent years, no school drama has dared to explore a theme like this one. I actually find it interesting.
What if I walk into a BL/GL show and start shipping a straight couple? I’d immediately get torn apart as “homophobic” or “disrespectful.” Yet BL/GL fans can waltz into a story about same-sex friendship (where both characters already have partners) and force a BL/GL ship, brushing it off with “I like it” or “it’s harmless.” Newsflash: it’s not harmless it ruins the vibe for other viewers. That’s like going into a spicy chicken restaurant and loudly declaring, “This sauce actually tastes better with another dish,” when the sauce was literally created for the chicken. And the worst part? If anyone pushes back, they’re instantly branded “homophobic.” Wake up already—gay or straight, people like that are still a minority. Stop using double standards as a shield.
It's fiction mama, don't take it so seriously. A lot of sports dramas/movies are like this. We are aware this…
So we really have to follow that same old delusional path, huh? The fact that it’s built differently is exactly what makes it good, that’s why I hate it when those daydreaming folks bash the show.
Make sure to distinguish clearly, because this is just a high school rugby team, not professional rugby — those are two completely different things. Even if they train hard and come back stronger, how could a seven-a-side rugby team that has lost too many matches and only just got a coach possibly win? That kind of motif only exists in manga.

i keep thinking back to the elevator scene, and it's really interesting because it subtly indicated that he is…
Those scenes really made me hope for a loveline. For example, in episode 6 when he showed concern and bought her hangover medicine, or when he acknowledged her — it feels like their relationship is about to take a step forward.
the romantic development was never really promised and MDL is the only site saying it's a romance.
Reading the interview, it seems very likely, and besides, the first four episodes had quite a few hints. These recent episodes didn’t, so it’s natural that people are hoping for more, my friend.
The author’s intention is very clear when choosing to explore a slow-burn relationship. There are plenty of dramas where the male and female leads only get together at the very end — for example, Numbers or Military Prosecutor Doberman.
