My Coach (2022)

Way more than romance (but the romance is so good)

I am not going to lie, I belong to the group that wanted to watch 'My Coach' to watch Perth in another romance. However, I kept watching it not only for Perth but also because this series turned out to be really good!
The plot is very entertaining and light-hearted but at the same time it covers really important issues in today's society.
Also, the female lead is super fun to watch and in my opinion, very believable as a soccer coach (this girl is fit)
As a BL fan, for sure I am not complaining about the BL side story. It was very cute!
To sum up, I maybe have come for the romance but I have found so much more than that. It was a great series from beginning to "end".
(Don't forget to watch the after-credits scenes in the final episode, I almost missed it!)

Started with no expectations but enjoying it no heavy drama .

Honestly when i read synopsis i didnot expect much from it and found weird how a girl aiming for uncle but falls for nephew .
1st episode i thought it was boring but still i watched it and it really picked up well. It is just not about love story . Its revolve around dreams, youth, football.
Issues like gender discrimination, sex education , gender gap thinking , dreams aspirations, age gap love .
Lgbt.
They have made drama comedy love story and have dealt with all issues without making it too much heavy .

One minute its serious and then funny .
I love most of the characters all actors have done justice to characters.

My fav are Jon & yu.

this is NTR?!?!?!?!?!?!?

this series feels like a low budget rated R movie.
some shots feels like it was a fan service of sorts.
i was thinking highly of viu when it says viu original but sadly i got disappointed.
this is an all over the place drama...
if you like ntr , you will like this.
this series is straight up taken from a wattpad series.
i personally can't recommended this for sane people. it is painful for me to watch
getting cucked by the uncle and nephew (vice versa)
they will have an interesting reunion during holidays.
i wanna say more but.. this is it.
it wanted to be a sports one... but it didnt pull through it.
it wanted to be a bl but it didnt add a value to the show whatsoever
it wanted to be racy ... it succeeded.
this is a sexy series if you want to jack off to the female lead or the abs of the males other than that.. nothing.
i felt empty .
does it deserve to be watched? yes 1 time in your life. watch this viu original series. not worth it.. but watchable

Awful

I wanted to like this because of
Perth, Mild and some of the other
cast members but the storyline
became stale and once Jenna and
Jon started having feelings for
each other it became cringey. The best parts to me were the ones
without Jon and Jenna together. From the beginning I found her
character narcissistic and overbearing. So we are to believe that someone who bullied you and
humiliated you when you were fat
and supposedly ugly now becomes
your love interest years later. Are
we supposed to congratulate her
because she motivated you to lose
weight. How shallow? Also, she was
after the uncle and that didn’t pan
out so the nephew becomes fair
game. Exactly what was the message? It has to be more than the
older woman younger man trope.
Perth and the actress playing Jenna
didn’t even match. She looked like
she was robbing the cradle. Nope
nope nope. Not entertaining or
interesting and I love Perth. He’s a
really good actor but he was wasted
in this.

mixed feelings

Overall: there were parts that I really liked and one aspect in particular that I really didn't. I initially watched for the side m/m couple (they meet in episode 2 and have a few minutes every episode). At times, this series has a bit of a soap opera feel. Watching on Viu with VPN set to Thailand. This is the episode 1 part 1 link https://www.viu.com/ott/th/th/vod/439286/My-Coach  Watch past the credits of the final episode for wrap ups of the characters (Plueng and Yu are at the very very end). 

Content Warnings: past bullying, sexism, punches, manipulation, harassment, drugging, attempted sexual assault, non con kiss, past trauma, homophobia, transphobia, unwanted outing, blackmail, held against will, high school student/coach relationship, bribery

What I Liked
- discussion of issues: i.e. challenges of being a woman in a male dominated career, importance of having safe sex and carrying around condoms, sexual harassment, pursuing your dreams, about being your true self and deserving love and happiness
- the end of episode 14 brought tears to my eyes
- Plueng and Yu, I wish they had had more screen time
- nice to see a darker skinned character and I really liked their conversations with Yu
- the intro song

Room For Improvement
- how both the coach and assistant coach were ogling the bodies of their students (high schoolers) and the things that followed, this just reinforces negative stereotypes of women in male dominated careers

Okay, Wawaa is 30, Perth is 20 and Peter Corp Dyrendal is 46?

Okay, first episode, instead of anything else, I actually felt kinda sorry for Perth. They made him be half naked and wriggle his small body most of the episode. After all, he is quite young. lol.

Then, of all the possible plots, HE is supposed to have some kind of history with the FL. Several years back, he was fat and ugly. She treated him wrong and now understandably doesn't recognize him. Okay, I'd say several years back he was still a kid and too young for going on dates, lol. So, I did not appreciate the flashback scenes with horrible looking prostetics. WTF??

Then, I couldn't unsee it in my head. When I looked on Perth, I still saw the ugly monster (I speak this harsh about the prostetics, naturally fat kid would still be okay, no matter how homely). And this show, it's either that, or the "immortal face" of Peter Corp Dyrendal? My god, what did they put Wawaa in? At first, it was interesting we have the main girl who is a player. But who can she play with in this monster town?

Even if I forget the intro with Perth, his and Wawaa's characters interaction then continues with him saying she's the age of his mother. Yeah, some girls can conceive quite early in some cultures. Still, I don't believe that Wawaa would be able in 10 years old. She could just calmly tell him that. Instead, she starts bickering with him stupidly. What am I watching? What did they do? Can't they make watchable show? I am not that picky. But this is something viewers can be proud they dropped.
