I hope you write this comment as a review as well - it's really well-said
He was morose for a reason...which was one of the whole plots of the drama. I wrote in my review that it's one of the best portrayals of depression and social anxiety that I've ever seen on screen. He wasn't tsundere in the classic sense, in my opinion, he had significant depression and anxiety. I'm not saying that he was easy to be around, it's obvious that everything in his life suffered because of his illness, but as he learned to love and accept himself (and someone else) more, his mood and his environment lightened. The lighting even went from pretty dark to much lighter by the end.
This is a drama I love to rewatch. Suzuki Jin with his beautiful caramel-colored skin and doe-eyes, is like a precious puppy in love and I just love how LOVE, no matter the ages of the characters, wins in the end.
You could add HIStory 2: Crossing the Line, (with the always-wonderful Fandy Fan), as it is a short drama about volleyball (and love of course.) I loved Fly the Jumper, and think the rating should be higher on here (as with most other-than-Korean dramas. Taiwanese dramas like these have been a favorite of mine for years.) Another addition could be the very quirky one-episode "Love Set", within the Persona anthology. The setting is a tennis match between IU and Bae Doo Na that gets very intense, very quickly.
J-movies: Cheer Boys, (about cheerleading) - I really liked it and it had several faves of mine in it. Bow Then Kiss, (about archery) - I didn't know much about this sport beforehand.
Some additions: I really liked Nothing But You, where I learned a lot about both badminton and tennis (my oldest son plays tennis so I found it helpful in that way.) It's not a short web series, of course, so it doesn't fit your criteria, I just thought I would add it here. I also learned a LOT about the game Go from Reply 1988.
The two trailers on Viki are so different it's enough to give you whiplash. This drama is either a rom-com with a cold lawyerly boss and a dumb but plucky FL or it's a law thriller with tears and lots of veggies and fruits getting thrown at the leads....or is it both? However, I like the ML so much from his other roles that I'm in regardless.
"embroiled" in a dating rumor....MDL has turned into Dispatch now, apparently. Also, I love this, " According to the local management of the soccer player, they cannot confirm it as it is the private life of Lee Kang In. " At least the soccer management knows it's their private life and we all need to stay the hell out of it!
Haha I like the title of this drama. In Russia we use "Mom's Friend's Son" as a slang for a collective image of…
This entire thread about cookie tins and sewing kits and universal names makes me ridiculously happy. So much negativity out there (and often on here) and this simple reminder about our similarities has made my entire week
