我们场上是对手 我们场下是朋友

This drama really show the hardships national players faced throughout their journey to championship. There is only one championship, there can only be one champion yet there are so many people fighting for it. The struggles they faced, injuries they sustained while training and the amount of effort they put in is something we cannot imagine.

The ping pong scenes were so well-executed and initially thought it was cgi but saw the behind the scenes video of the actors actually playing like a pro!!

Romance was totally unnecessary in this drama. Sorry to say but I skipped most of the romance scenes. I wished they focused more on the dynamics, teamwork and friendship of the players.

Bai Jingting, Xu Weizhou, Wan Guopeng's acting was outstanding! Other supporting actors was also good in portraying their characters. The only complain I have is Coach Zheng.. his character is so annoying and spiteful in this drama. He have so many players under his care but he only care about the one that is most likely to be a champion. He never once hide his disdain for other players especially Xu Tan and Yu Ke Nan. Is this how a coach is supposed to behave?

OST is good!!! My top 2 tracks are:
?荣耀乒乓 by. BJT, XWZ
?一左一右 by. BJT

Overall, there are quite a few plot holes and unanswered questions despite it having 44 episodes.

promising casts but plot is...

first few episodes were entertaining but loses plot as it progresses. the things that happen in this drama only gets more and more ridiculous. there is one scene where the ML is trapped inside a building or something during a rescue mission and no one (including his firefighter teammates) are able to enter the building and rescue him. for some reason, the FL who is obviously not a certified firefighter can enter a dangerous building and *attempt* to save ML. how unrealistic can it get!!!

there isn't much dramas out there about firefighters and i really want to continue this but its wayyy to dramatic for my liking. sorry to say but SML & SFL is boring to watch too..

Police + Firefighters + Forensic teamwork!

Season 1 left viewers with a cliffhanger and had me wondering if Dojin and Hogae died....until....the news of Season 2 came out and I knew they didn't die cos main characters don't die right?!

Only for the writers to kill off Dojin in Ep 3.. Very heartbreaking to witness Dojin's death but at least, they gave him a proper goodbye that speaks highly of his loyalty and pride as a firefighter. Dojin's death actually let side characters from Taewon Fire Station shine even more.

Season 2 cases are more entertaining because of the introduction of bombs + new characters (Kang Do Ha, Woo Sam Soon, Han Se Jin). Not to mention, the funny scenes between Dojin-Hogae, Myungpil-Hogae and Doha-Hogae. Their bickering moments are what made the drama a little less serious.

Conclusion is: You have to watch it yourself to feel the thrill throughout the 12 episodes.

I would have given this a 10/10 rating but I still can't get over Dojin's death thus an overall 9.5 rating.

Q: What makes Tan Song happy? A: ?

A definite must-watch youth drama! Its about a group of five friends (Tan Song, Cheng Zi, Zhu Jinxiao, Chen Zui, He Jinzhao) who grew together and eventually went to the same school. They bicker and fight with each other but they are also each other's support in life. Among themselves, they can call each other names but definitely do not allow other people to do so. If so, they are always ready to defend and protect one and another.

Main leads: Romance between Tan Song and Cheng Zi is not sudden, feels like they have always liked each other since the start but due to their constant bickering, it took them some time to realise their own feelings.

2nd leads: Whereas for Zhu Jinxiao and Chen Zui, they are the brains of the group so naturally their thinking process and actions are much more mature. Despite his feelings for Zhu Jinxiao, im glad he did not confess to her because its obvious that ZJX dont feel the same way. Confessing would only ruin their friendship.

This drama is also good in teaching us the aspects of life, the importance of family and friends. Life is already hard enough but if we have our family and friends by our side, even harder times will pass :)

"Gold medal" worthy

What I liked about this movie: It is not your typical bodyguard movie where the bodyguards are wearing suits, sunglasses or in-ears all the time. This team of bodyguard is so unique, you wouldn't have guessed they are a group of professionals working in this field. Story flow was quite good. Action scenes were incredibly carried out. Comedy part was spot-on, my kind of humor :) Villains were your typical villains who will kill to get something they want. Wished they had shown more of their consequences of doing evil things though.

Bonus: Also discovered actors whom I have not seen their works before. Hoping to see them in future works!

A solid 10 stars drama!

Wangwang chemistry is so natural and so comfortable to watch! This is their 3rd drama together since 九州天空城2 and 只是结婚的关系 and i'm praying they get to work together again. What I love most about this drama is, the trust, love and support Ziqi and Minhui have for each other. They truly only want the best for each other, doesn't cross lines and know how to respect each other's decision. Of course, not forgetting Quanquan who is the glue that brings his parents together again after 5 years <3 The comedy part is also matched to my humor level especially scenes between Ziqi and his secretary, Hardy. Pure comedy. Can't believe I finished this drama in just 2 days, already missing them T_T

OSTs are also really good, been on replay for the past days!
