Warm and Comforting
So I literally thought that I was writing reviews for so long, but it turns out, I was writing them in the notes section (i don't know how i didn't notice).
So this will be my first actual review on here, I suppose.
I heard about Racket Boys around one and a half years ago? I knew about the show, and I had heard great things, but honestly I didn't have the time to watch it. And technically, for me, this is actually the worst time for me to watch it. But I still decided some time last week to start watching it, and less than a week later, I am almost done.
There is something very charming about Racket Boys that can't really be found in other dramas, and I think that it primarily relies on the characters. They are people who you can't help but just root for: you want to see them succeed and you want more for them (2521 reference!). Hyun Jong is a perfect character in terms of how wholesome he is, and Yeong-Ja balances that perfectly with her strength and grace in a way. The five boys on the team and of course, Han-sol and Se-yoon are absolutely amazing as well: need I say more? The way that they grew together and shared each other's losses and victories, and their chemistry together was absolutely insane. I genuinely felt like they were a group of brothers, and in some way, soulmates. (Also, I can't believe that a bunch of people younger than me has a more romantic life than me TT. But it's okay, because the romance is so cute).
There was also so much care put into every single story, whether it was the main characters or the villagers or the coaches: every single character had a story to share. One of the ones that I personally liked the most was the city couple's: finding out why they moved was shocking (:O) , but seeing them grow and find more love around them made me so happy.
And of course, the music was amazing as well! It made me so giddy every time I heard the main theme when the kids were playing matches. The matches were already perfectly captured, but they became more enthralling with the music.
Overall, it's amazing!! A definite watch. I wish I had watched it when it aired, because apparently season 2 of Hospital Playlist was also airing this same time, and I think I would have genuinely found the secret to true happiness if I had watched these shows simultaneously.
So this will be my first actual review on here, I suppose.
