One Good Win

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

Overall, this was a very good series. This had the right combination of comedy, drama, and heartfelt moments. The first few episodes are rough around the edges, just stick with it because it does get better. I have to admit that the script was not perfect. It had parts in the beginning that made me want to drop it, but then gave me sections that made me care about the end game. What the script did a great job in was having very well-developed characters in which the cast did an incredible job making you either love or hate them. I also like how some of the characters fell in the gray area and had more than meets the eye. The music and cinematography were awesome.

Random Note:

Two minor critiques: There was one character that received a weak redemption arc and there was one missed opportunity in the last episode.




******Potential Spoiler Alert******

The weak redemption arch involved Na Gyu Won (Seol Hyeon’s father), but at least he admitted he was correct his mistake.

It would have been nice to see a scene with Yun Seong Jun’s mother meeting him after watching his match in the last episode.
