The story of five high schoolers who joined the swim team by accident find themselves in a situation where they have to complete a synchronized swimming performance. Zhang Wei has been unexpectedly appointed as the captain of the male synchronized swimming team. When the coach gets into an accident on the first day of training, Zhang Wei not only has to take on the duties of a coach, but he is on the verge of a breakdown upon realizing that none of his teammates have any interest in synchronized swimming. The five boys who were deceived are like ducks driven onto a perch forced to take the leap. Nonetheless, they worked hard and persevered until the end to come up with a very special performance.

The cinematography, ost, and casting are great! Despite the actors being relatively new, they did an excellent job – I didn't find it flaw at all! I really enjoyed each character, even though they weren't super fleshed out. The cast's reenactment of the five boys' passion, motivation, drive, and ambition really made me wish I had hobbies/clubs and friends like this back in high school. Moreover, I seriously love the colors and cinematography! They really transport you to the past and make you reminisce the best moments in your youth.

I haven't watched the original, however, I would say all together, this was a well-made film! The beginning might be a little slow to some, but it really builds up the exciting occurrences in the latter portion of the film! I especially love the last twenty minutes or so of the film, it's so fun! The film did what it could have in under two hours — kept it simple, yet made it a good time.

If you need some dose of motivation, you'll definitely get some from this film.

I haven't watched the original Japanese version, but I guess I could say this one is already a great film to watch.

Characters:
Each of the characters' stories is relatable especially of Zhang wei's. The passion, motivations and aspirations in life is well presented. . The development is also well-rounded.

Plot:
I don't know much about sport movie plots, but i guess this one has enough twist and the turn of events seems okay.
Well balanced comical and serious parts.

Acting/Casts:
Despite seeing new ones here, they have portrayed it very well i guess.

Music:
I definitely love the soundtracks as well as the sfx seems fitting.

Rewatch Value:
Will totally rewatch this.

Overall:
If you need some dose of motivation, you'll definitely get some from this film.

I'll edit this when I rewatched it
