Two Hearts (2019)

Great Female Lead

I would like to say I watched this series because I played soccer in high school, but the truth is, I watched it so see Park Yoo Na. The soccer was a plus, but the underlying romance was the draw in this short series. Young Jae broke the golden rule of relationships. Never go out with a girl your best friend is interested in and then try to act like you were with her first. You will end up losing your best friend and best friends are rare in life. Cha Sun Woo might have been a little slow on the draw, but he eventually left the lasting impression that counted. Yoo Sun Woo saw through the deceit and backstabbing of Lee Young Jae and made her way to the right man. Two hearts, one for soccer and one for her. I can totally understand that. However, I don’t think I would have remained best friends with Lee Young Jae. Once bitten…

Park Yoo Na was great and played her part to perfection. It was a fun watch and I recommend you watch it too.

Great, but forgettable

'Two Hearts' is a great, short-length sports drama that actually focuses on: guess what - the actual sport it is portraying! (Unlike other short-length sports dramas I've been a fool to watch in the past) a great bromance, the perfect amount and style of romance, and other issues such as teamwork, never giving up, fighting to the top of the ladder etc. which is quite prominent in this genre.

The main things I liked about Two Hearts were the acting, characters and story: in that order from first to third. The acting has to be good with short-themed dramas, and everyone delivered above and beyond my (already high) expectations. There was a perfect blend of characters that gave a perfect balance of underdog athletes, jealous girls, genuine girls, strict coaches etc. which is what is needed in a sports drama. The story isn't the most unique but it is unique enough to warrant it a mention. It wasn't anything breath-taking, but it was admirable and it made me feel good.

Two things that have decreased the rating for this drama: editing and directing, also, the fact that this will be quite a forgettable drama, which I can tell that it will be already, unfortunately. Editing and directing seem a little amateurish, and while the majority is fine, there are definite points where it is hard not to notice the mistakes or amateurish work.

All in all, I do recommend watching 'Two Hearts'.
