7 reasons to like a drama
This drama is a perfect example of why I enjoy chinese series most among other asian shows nowadays:
- realistic plot without major irritating twists that make you doubt screenwriters live in a modern world.
- keeps your interest by introducing an interesting subject: in this case — sport
- portrays healthy, kind and caring relationships both in friendship, parenthood and romance (This one in particular: leads show so much care for each other, esp for young college kids — it's heartwarming).
- humorous and relatively angst-free
- conflicts and misunderstandings are short-lived and not dragged out
- characters are unique and their growth is obvious and portrayed well — even the not so good (anti-hero) characters
- and finally and most importantly for me — it stays true to its genre. It keeps your interest by smart writing rather than twists, where its either misunderstandings and breakups, or a lunatic murderous character inserted just to keep the watcher engaged. Those I dislike the most. (If its a romantic comedy - why change it to a melodrama or a thriller in the last episodes?!) And this chinese series is none of those — angst-free and loyal to its intent from start to finish.
Special kudos to An Yu and Zu Er — they were super cute and showed so much warmth and kindness through their characters. Love both.
