I ate this shit UP and im not sure why
This show made me wanna write a review for the first time and like i said, im lost on the why.Im not picky when it come to things to watch, as long as im engaged thats all it takes for me to finish it, ive managed through a multitude of shows that most people ive seen hate with a firey passion.
However
Most dont keep me as entertained as this show did.
Realistically, this is pretty average to subpar at certain points and if youre looking for a wellwriten, intense drama then you wont find it here.
But
If you like the actors and dont mind some stupid shit every now and again then go for it, cause i fucking love this far more than i should.
Things i didnt like:
1 love triangle, ive always hated them and wish hell upon the person who invented them.
2 Ryu's mum, shes very one dimentional
3 lin pissed me off
4 shitty writing
5 half baked conclusion, theyre not the most hated thing for me but i certainly didnt like the loose ends
6 the coach is an alcoholic and somehow STILL keeps his job when its revealed hes got issues
7 ATOM
8 as an autistic person, chogun being the way he was portrayed sometimes felt offputting like he was a basketball superhero and became a part of the team despite being autistic, felt kind of good doctor like
Things i liked:
1 the intro music, i could listen to that shit on repeat for DAYS
2 the main characters relationship, they seemed quite healthy
3 it kept me fully entertained, i mean cackling at times in the middle of the night type of entertained, could possibly have also been the delusion from staying awake for a day or two
4 well shot basketball games
5 i like it whenever golf's cafe shows up, adds something for me personally
6 i like meen, hes always enjoyable to watch in things, not just cause hes attractive, i think i just like his facial expressions and voice
7 characters are free to stay or leave and their partner wont say theyll ditch everything to go with
8 atom getting left in phucket was hilarious to me
I know some of my reasons for liking this show will seem biased and thats cause they probably are but hey ho
now for a mini rant about Atom
I like Frank, i really do and this wont stop me from waching future things hes in, this is PURELY an issue with the character thmeselves. Seperate the actor from the role people.
Listen, i know were not supposed to completely hate Atom or anything but THAT BOY ISTG
all i wanted everytime he would pop up was for a nuke to exterminate him from the earth, this probably has a lot to do with my pure despise of love triangles but everytime he tried to flirt with zen all i could think was EW
It probably didnt help that he clearly made both zen and ryu uncomfortable along with the dodgy shit he did like sneekily taking photos and just all round forcing himself into zens life
Zen couldnt set boundaries and it seemed to me that atom knew that and took advantage which is very icky to me for obvious reasons
Ngl if i was in this universe id have commited many a war crime trying to get that man AWAY
You can imagine how happy i was that he got left in phucket and hopefully murdered while zen was gone (just a little headcannon)
Anyways, in conclusion im a bitch for things that are slightly entertaining and if youre anything like me, id give the show a shot.
Btw yes i know im a bit late to the party but only just now decided to give it a review after rewatching it, my bad
