Could've been so much better
I’m honestly surprised this drama has such a high rating, because in my view, it doesn’t quite deserve it. The concepts were there, but they’re never fully explored.I expected the rugby team to be the heart of the story, yet they mostly end up as side characters used for comic relief. Ironically, the scenes with them were the ones I enjoyed the most. I really wish the drama had devoted at least an episode to each member of the team—they’re fun, unique characters, and I would have loved to get to know them better. Instead, one gets two episodes, another barely half an episode, and the rest only appear in scattered bits.
Meanwhile, an excessive amount of time is spent on the Shooting Coach, whose storyline I found completely unengaging. I just couldn’t care about her plot, and it felt like a distraction from what could have been the most entertaining part of the show.
I have mixed feelings about this kdrama.

wtf was this show
The concept of this drama is intriguing, but I just couldn’t get past the borderline pedophilia plotlines.One storyline involves a female student in a relationship with a teacher. This could have been a chance to explore the serious power dynamics between student and teacher and show the real consequences—but the show barely scratches the surface. The teacher simply gets fired, and that’s it. There’s no real depiction of the emotional harm or impact on the student, which feels like a huge missed opportunity.
Another storyline involves a male student who is openly in love with the school counselor. Any adult in a position of authority should immediately shut down such advances to protect the child. But the counselor doesn’t. She entertains his feelings, never sets clear boundaries, and by the end, it’s even implied they might get together. Honestly, this is disturbing and completely mishandled.
The show could have tackled these issues thoughtfully, but instead, it glosses over them in ways that are uncomfortable and unacceptable.
