this drama ruined dramas for me because it’s so good
I watched this a while ago it was like my fifth kdrama ever and I still can’t get it out of my mind. Every drama I watch now I compare to this in terms of how much I like it.Honestly just wanted to write a review because this show deserves atleast nine stars
The acting was amazing the storyline flowed really nicely. They used common romance tropes but did it WELL!! they also subverted/reversed some tropes it was so fun.
The cinematography is so beautiful. The colour Pallete is blues and pinks. Just soo pretty. Everything is so magical and it’s crazy that this is technically a sports drama because the romance was so amazing. The sports parts were also really well done. I really love the actress it was so fun to see a tall couple in a k drama idk the girls are normally small lol.
Rewatch value is not as high because I do not rewatch anything lol but this is the one thing that I have considered rewatching and I made it halfway through episode one lol before i just wanted to skip to the end because it’s so good I mean the build up is also good but arghhhrheheujsjehsv lol
Anyways if you’re thinking of watching it just please do. It’ll make you laugh and cry and feel anxious and then swoon. So much swooning. If you need more convincing the main leads literally started dating after this like the chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS!

if you love smart and cunning female leads with a dash of gorgeous male lead this is for you.
i had been in a bit of a drama drout for a while, constantly picking up dramas and dropping them. With c dramas i would get to episode 17-20 and be bored, with this drama there is not one dull moment. I literally never write reviews but i just had to write this one. I picked this up while airing expecting it to be a slow sludge to something interesting like most of them are but this drops you right into the story, i went from bingewatching as it was airing to catching up to the air schedule and waiting on the last few episodes with everyone else. this rarely happens for me, i hate watching dramas that havent finished but with this one i could not stop thinking about it.The female lead is incredible at playing both roles and the writing is so clever you actually never know what is going to happen next because they dont set it up by having the characters obviously lay out their plans, you watch as it slowly unravels infront of you.
This is a clear ~he falls first and harder~ trope that is done amazingly well, their love is slowly and silently brewing in the background but not so slowly that its unbearing - and i say this as a romance watcher its basically all i watch and i feel like the way the romance was layed out made it even more enjoyable and worthwhile. Gosh i love this show.
my thoughts after the finale: i am sobbing, i hope there is a season two. this was the best c drama in years for me, im so attached to the characters i dont know how to move on now, the finale was bittersweet and im now in mourning over this show, i gave it a 9.0 while airing and now im done its absolutely a 9.5 gosh im gonna go cry some more now. wei rao is one of the best female characters ever written and i pity those who are so misogynistic that they hate that she isnt stupid or selfless, the way the ML loves her and she loves him back.. gosh idk how to move on, this has ruined dramas for me now, nothing will ever make me feel the way this did.
