Really enjoyed the competition scenes. The romance wasn't the main point later on, yet the drama did not feel lacking (because sports aspect was very entertaining).
Cons for me: - Ending was pretty lazy post-Asian Cup. - Coach Xiao can't act. - Directing for some scenes were questionable (eg. trauma scenes for coach flashbacks and CGI ice lake during FL's final race).
I start to feel irritated by ppl keep saying first 18 eps are slow and dull, fast forward to ep19 and blahblah.…
Same! I loved all arcs of the drama where they delved into other areas of the ML and FL's lives. Gaming arc was a plus for me since I like moba games, though I can see why some might find it boring if they're disinterested.
He gave a recent interview where he said big or small role, it doesn't matter to him. He doesn't care about the…
True. Also, he has such a young face despite his age so putting him in romantic roles can be awkward (looking too young for females his age / his age making him inappropriate for HS dramas etc.) . Wish he got more lead non-romantic roles.
I don't remember them ever saying that Ling Xiao and Jian Jian slept on the same bed in Go Ahead. She used to…
This! Ling Xiao and Jian Jian never slept in the same bed, and always stayed in separate houses. Their families hung out and shared meals frequently but the difference between Zi Qiu and Ling Xiao was huge in terms of the nature of their relationship with Jian Jian.
A failed relationship aired out after his recent success of a series. Both were wrong in their own ways, yet one gets to keep their privacy while the other potentially gets the rest of his life (career) ruined. Besides abortion, she had to put the cherry on top by revealing stuff he said about his colleagues (as if that's not something she does as well). Seon Ho lied to her with the promise of marriage and pressuring her to abort. What a messy and toxic relationship.
This might not be a popular opinion but I want either mina or yeon-ju to end up with the husband. yes I know he's…
He might not be as bad as the rest of the family but that's too low of a standard, not deserving of neither Mina nor Yeon Ju. Cheaters don't deserve any rs nor can his ways be excused by lack of respect. I do hope he has a happy ending but not involving getting one of the women. More like an ending where he changes for the better and improves his lifestyle and choices.
On the side note, I doubt Mina is as good of a person she was originally portrayed to be.
Ep 1-7 were amazing imo. The suspense and mystery are worth the watch. EXCEPT the frustrating interaction between the 2 male leads (which continued on until real evidence was shoved into Han Ju Won's face). I find the dialogue and villains of the show cringey and overdramatic (yes it's a drama but still). HJW, LCJ and DHW by far least favourite characters in the show. In the end gave it 6.5/10 due to later half being draggy asf.
You'd think these kinds of opportunities are extremely hard to come by. Not just starring as a lead, but a lead in a drama/movie created by any well-known director or writer. Wish her the best of luck though.
I would recommend everyone to watch the poster video essay (referenced here) by Accented Cinema. Because most of these posters in the article are all from the video, which gives further insight on them.
Yeo Jin Goo as Son Hak is the one I'm really not feeling. Rest of the casting doesn't seem too bad. On the side note, this is one anime I do NOT want to see adapted. With these hair colors, it'll look like a joke most of the time. Plus accounting for the high jumping and claw CGI.
Cons for me:
- Ending was pretty lazy post-Asian Cup.
- Coach Xiao can't act.
- Directing for some scenes were questionable (eg. trauma scenes for coach flashbacks and CGI ice lake during FL's final race).
(Just joking!! Everyone has their own preferences.)

Plus, his smile is underrated.
