One Time Watch For Lazy Weekends!!
When this show dropped out of nowhere, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to watch it!
I wouldn’t have started watching this show, if our Tuesday panelist BL Songbird hadn’t strongly recommended it. The story is about a soccer team that is not doing well, and one day, it is bought by an entertainment agency. The reason for the acquisition is just to commoditize the team to make money again. The agency takes over and cuts out all the players with a poor face, then forces the actors with a face value from their agency to become players. Sounds cliche right? It is, when you think that the agency is undermining the value of players who have spend their lifetime honing their soccer skills. To capitalize on their looks rather than their sports skills is actual demeaning. But the players are left with no choice but follow through this ridiculous charade if they want to remain on the team. It must be remembered that soccer isn’t exactly a popular sport in Asian countries as compared to their European counterparts. So we are left with a weird combination of players who only want to focus on their game and handsome actors who want to be anywhere else but the soccer field. The show clearly outlines three different couples but by the end of the show, we are left with only two.
