Pool Tour of Helsinki
There's a lot to say about this diamond of a drama, but I'll try to keep it brief for your sanity. Absolutely loved the story and acting. It felt so different and natural that I honestly thought I was watching a drama based on a true story.
The cast was diverse and we surprisingly saw a lot of internationals, which is a rare treat in Mando-dramas. I do admit that it was hard to follow the English lines at times, but it was truly necessary for the plot and you get used to it quite quickly. The familiar shooting locations around Helsinki added so much flavor to the overall experience - high fives to all the Finns reading this!
A super interesting drama about 9-Ball and snooker athletes was not something I thought I needed. Still, I clearly did as I got to see a couple that left me almost breathless. The main couple's chemistry was just off the charts. I truly loved how carefully they built the romance and added that realistic, awkward feel to it through their acting. By the end, I was watching some real 9-Ball and snooker tournament videos because I was just so fascinated by the whole thing. It's almost magical how this drama created an urge in me to learn the game even though I have absolutely zero talent.
Really recommend this drama to viewers, especially the Finns out there, who need something new in the predictable world of romance dramas.
