trying to think of a scenario where this could be a top 5 kdrama premiere

this doesn't look great but it has Robo and Kachan in support roles

is this your first k-drama?

1FL was good in Hatsumori Bemars.

They really need to be playing on a bigger field, and 28-32 minute games might eliminate the need for penalty shootouts.

Not sure what kind of limitations they have, but they should have a lot of control over format. Maybe add a 7th player to each team, for more subbing/injury coverage?
For live game format, maybe they could have 2 (or 3?) games played per episode? Playing four quarters of 7 or 8 minutes per game, might leave time for commercials in between quarters, maybe they could put a small ad on screen near the score/in the corner during play for a minute, ads on the field's sideboards?
They can adjust the # of games in the season, length of games, etc. to fit the broadcast format. Player/venue availability and cost may/may not be issues,
Live broadcast would also end complaints about editing.

It would be cool to evolve from a variety show about soccer, into a little closer to a celebrity soccer league.

That is too long to wait to see FC Actionista v. FC Giants, which was probably already played weeks ago. They need to air these games LIVE!

Ahn Hyo Seop would be a better fit for some drama I have no interest in watching, he is a bad fit for this one.

watched 3 episodes, apologies to takahata mitsuki, but this is in danger of being dropped

She is becoming an excellent soccer player.

she is not a doctor she is a mystery with incredible medical knowledge and absolutely zero non-medical knowledge

Now Anacondas suddenly have a skilled (and tall) goalkeeper? This does not seem like a fair competition.

I would like to purchase that painting of Inudo Anju.

This drama is a 13/10 and the subs are 11/10.

Yes, she is tall and athletic, not afraid to throw her body around to make saves, and she has obviously trained hard.

Why did 2 teams get new players as injury replacements, new players who immediately became the 1st or 2nd best player on the team? While FC Actionista has been playing all season without a sub?

the romances are igniting slowly on several fronts

yes it is great you should watch

They only have plot armor to protect them.
