Kim Tae-ri's performance in this series is legendary. Utterly captivating.
I understand why some viewers leave disappointed if they see this series primarily as a love story between Na Hee-do and Baek Yi-jin, though it's clear from early on how things will turn out.
I personally see it chiefly as a story of friendship between Na Hee-do and her idol, Go Yu-rim, which is why I have zero complaints about the ending. As engaging as the romance was (it's absolutely packed with memorable moments, my favorite of which being the "I wasn't trying to kiss you!" scene), I was even more engaged in the rivalry between these two athletes.
It's quite a tough watch at times due to the focus on painful moments in recent history, but you really shouldn't miss out on Kim Tae-ri in peak form. Na Hee-do is easily one of my favorite characters in a dramatic series for her grit, humor, loyalty, and unhinged intensity.
