FL in Forever Love was stunning!

Same. Sport part has interesting personalities and good progress.
Romance part is very standard - love triangles, misunderstandings etc.

All is good but I can't get used to Song Zu Er as FL. Every time I see her I think of Simei from The Bond.

It is just an opinion.

Thanks for bothering to explain. I don't watch much kdramas so I guess you are right.

What I tried to say is that is easier to find characters in AIB more interesting - they are young and 'cool'.
Still I think characters (not actors) in SG are one of the most unattractive bunch I have ever seen. And that might be on purpose.

I have a strange feeling about production as well. It looks like a jap drama from 2000 I watched.

Thanks for mentioning AIB. I discovered it for myself and loved it!

By far more interesting characters in AIB.
I guess unattractive unsuccessful middle to old age Korean men are tough characters to be interested in.

Same complains that have been already mentioned - draggy at times, some annoying characters and rushed ending. It hasn't spoiled general enjoyment though.

Stylised uniform is great but the drama not so much.

It doesn't have to be a masterpiece for people to rate it 10. Your enjoyment is what matters.
But you are right, it is not perfect - I gave it 9.5.

Style over substance.
It started interesting but plot twists are quite predictable. Characters lost common sense towards the end.
Good soundtrack.

Thank you! Is darker/more depressing than The Bond?

Thank you, I'll check them out!
Liver or die's description is very similar but rating is not very good. How is it?

Can you please recommend similar dramas to this and Like A Flowing River?
P.S. Haven't read comments below to avoid spoilers.

6 episodes in. I like the visual style and the tone. Leads are likeable.
I am worried about 36 episodes - does it feel stretched out? There is no shortage of 'coming of age' dramas and they mostly use the same tropes.

Interesting. I didn't like changes to plot in drama.

I read the novel and watched animated series before so I was very disappointed in TKA drama. But Yang Yang was a good pick for the role.
