I loved the fact that first; it was focused on the women - all that girl power! And second; it was based on a true story - it shows the courage, the hardships and the relationships that formed over the course of time as they became a great team - not just in skills but because of what they had to endure to get to where they are.
The actressesssss; from Soo Ae (Sweet Stranger and Me) who plays Lee Ji Won, and Park So Dam's' guest appearance (Cinderella and the Four Knights) who plays Lee Ji Hye. As sisters in the movie they brought all that sass and strength to their roles.
You can see a lot of development in the characters/ people they played. For instance Kim Seul Gi (Splash Splash LOVE), who's plays Jo Mi Ran, who at first seems more focused on getting paid than being in a team, but soon evolves into a player that puts a lot of heart into ice hockey. Also, Kim Ye Won (Tomorrow with You) who plays Kim Ga Yeon, who is unemployed and whom is at first only interested in her appearance, but soon develops into someone with a big heart and who isn't afraid to get hurt.
Whether they were at all like the people they were playing is yet to be seen and whether the story stays true to the real events, we cannot be sure, nevertheless they all did well and it put a big spotlight on a team that deserves praise for their efforts.
I definitely recommend this!

This is one hella heartwarming movie
This is an unexpected treat of a great movie on my marathon night. This is a great portrayal of a real event and I'm really glad that the movie was able to capture the sincere emotions of the characters. Good job also to Park Soo Ae for her wonderful acting.For a movie adaptation of a real event, it's understandable that the movie will try to portray it on an entertaining way to catch the audience attention. The beginning of this movie is kind of rough in a way since the characters seems to be not taking the matters seriously and started for personal gain but as the movie progresses, there were more depth added to it making it a really good movie.
I love how they placed the suspense on their cinematography and also played the background music really well. I find myself holding my breath at the crucial moments which means the movie did a great job. I can't help but celebrate and curse with them throughout the movie.
I, myself is not really into sports but it doesn't stop me from enjoying this movie. It will you make you feel good and the story is truly heartfelt. You can actually watch this with your family as well.

There was plenty of girlcrush material and the dopest thing is that it's based on a true story. It's showing the new generation of female powerhouses.
The story was not the most memorable, more so the characters and their relationships. Especially the story of the north korean defector really broke my heart. Even more the match between north and south. The ending was more open, wich seemed rather fitting given the situation of the characters.
