review will be biased bc I am in love with him.

I love sport shows but I don't how much I loved this one more because of his acting and (face card) but it was entertaining with fair dose of angst. I liked the different storylines and development. It reminded of 2521 in some way and the message coming from it was truly comforting. I cried during the final match.

It'a not the best drama regarding direction, that's for sure. Transition are a bit raw and outdated but I was more focused on the story so I wasn't really bothered even if it could have been an excellent drama with beautiful cinematic.

I'm blind for the age gap and I won't apologise cuz who would not fall for that guy. i was ROOTING for them. 😮‍💨 (Also I feel directors were really cautious with both which is cool)

Girl were real badass, dad was much of fun. Except for the assistant school director which I disliked (got scared that it would go in a toxic love triangle but thanks god no) it was a great portrait of daily struggles and humain feelings.

Good idea, but the setting was not convincing. Could have been much more hard hitting drama

I really liked the idea of this, but the big hole was the female actors did not look like boxers, even athletes, sprinters have more muscles and abbs, Google female boxers and you will see what a World class female boxer looks like. Covering someone up with multiple layers of clothing and then stripping them off to box convincingly just doesn't work.

Good story , but the things to make the setting real were just not there, and no matter how convincing the ML was as a whole it didn't work, and it didn't help that perhaps the most intersting part of the story, match fixing, was at odds with the fuffy young women boxer comeback, which was totally lacking in reality. The irony being that the most real aggression shown was when the ML was being beaten up.
Perhaps the K drama reluctance not let women any thing less than looking pale and perfect, but in a drama about womens boxing, thats just not the look needed.
