Even watching at 2x I still FF through some scenes. If you can’t handle the difference in societal norms then how can you watch kdramas? Even 2025 airing dramas are so rooted in culture differences like in The Winning Try we still watch the most awful coach who is also so misogynistic all I can think of is slapping him and he’s an actor I actually like haha and in Law and the City it looks the pregnant lawyer is being pressured to resign because of PREGNANCY. She asked about pregnant or parental leave procedure and was met with ummm just resign. I do bite down so much hahah. I expect those things from the early dramas I watch but now I’m like fxck they still do that?
I wrote this so I’ll post it but just ignore this mini rant that makes no sense.
After an episode I watched at 2x speed (thank you Kocowa for that option) because I found I don’t care anymore , the preview is what elicited that sigh which was much bigger in real life.
After 5 eps I like it but the ML is not very endearing...SML is very loyal.
If you don’t know his backstory it’s hard to even pity him because he seems devoid of personality and seems to have a chip on his shoulder. But he deserves love and sympathy not pity.
Absolutely love the way the game is explained during the drama for those of us who are clueless. The natural way they used the former player friend to explain to the school nurse who had questions was seamless. And the voiceover by the coach was very nice and not preachy.
I found her on that page. Tried to link her page there to here but it wouldn’t work. She’s somewhere in MDL but it’s such a common name and so many of them
