Episode 3: Such a great show. I love watching Bank (Than). He did a great job crying. You could feel the emotions…
It never occurred to me that Puen has the possibility to move to another school. Now that you two talk about it, I'm so hoping he's not *cries* Oh, I was crying so much when Than's little sister was crying on the side because her family members were fighting, and I watched it without subs! Totally made me all sad and emotional the rest of that day.
Besides volleyball, there will be 3 other sports in this Project S: archery, badminton, and skateboarding. This project is a collaboration of rookie directors and writers from Hormones (which I have not seen and have no knowledge of) and each sport series will be written and produced by separated teams of them.
So, they said in an interview that every sport will have quite different mood/genre and storyline because the main executive producer who gathered these rookie directors wanted them to write their own shows however they like. Skateboard series seem to have more female characters than other series.
The 'S' in this Project S does not only stand for 'Sports' but also for 'Spirit', the 'soul' of people working together as a team as they develop their skills and friendship through hard work.
Personally I'm looking forward to the archery one, but volleyball is my most favorite sport out of all these and I'm genuinely loving this volleyball one so far. I saw multiple clips of every sport team practicing. They put so much effort into training the real sports. Everything is real here. No stunts. No stand-ins. Damn. It must've been so much fun filming this show. They deserve much more love for the efforts they put into making this happen.
English subtitles are on GDH official channel on Youtube, but you can also search for English subs on Dailymotion as well because the subbers there are (sometimes) faster than the official.
Everyone's slowly completing this drama now. Seeing this drama every day on my feed is such a nice feeling. *drowns in tears of joy* No, actually it makes me so emotional that it ended...
This was a great, great performance by Son Yejin, and the fact that it's visually beautiful kept me watching till the end. I still doubt its many weird choices in storytelling though. It felt like the film didn't know which genre or concept to stick with.
If they had decided to stick with the princess' story, so many answers about her marriage and daughter wouldn't have been neglected. I wish they had shortened many parts and spared time to explore into her Japanese family and how she went insane a little more because that's an important result of her being held away from her homeland after all.
On the other hand, the patriotic movement was presented as more than just a minor plot, so it left me hanging all the way when they didn't bring that part entirely upfront. So many interesting characters went to waste.
Some parts were so unimportant. Some parts were slow. Some important parts, instead, were told too simply by mouth or by text on screen. I still cried a lot and was immersed in it till the end. I guess it was really thanks to Son Yejin and the tragic story. Anyone will be able to sympathize. 8/10 overall.
