the show is a rom-com masterpiece, a perfect blend of comedy, romance, motivation, drama ,ups and downs . the straight approach oriented plot no twists and tricks yet giving the best delight to its viewers. i am not going to discuss the outlines of the story as this is a popular one and you have access to its various versions of synopsis on the internet .. so let's straight dive into the things i felt made this show so amazing for me:

1) straight and to the point approach : in most cases when writers dont have much twist/tricks to elongate a story, it often comes out a boring plot full of cliches and over abused comedy punches, like a total lacklusture sort of drama . but that wasnt a case with this one ..even with the 'no bullshit' approach this drama was able to keep the viewers engage.

2)cast : very talented cast : some of them like lee sung kyung, nam joo hyuk are my absolute fav ..and the casting director deserve all the appreciation for casting actor who have some experience in that sport to play the sportsperson for example kyung soo jin playing role of song hi (gymnast) was a practicing gymnastic in real life as well ... kyung sung bulked up and did weight trainings play the weightlifter...this type of professionalism increase the value of the drama on whole different level.
plus there were few guest appearances.(byeon wosoek etc)

3)comedy : punches were refreshing nothing vulgar of the sorts ..and there were both verbal and physical comedy ... her walk alone was enough to make me forget biggest worry of my life ..she was just too good.

4)life lessons : this show demonstrated a lot of young people's shortcomings ad worries in present day life .. like carrier pressure, love life situations , family problems ... and the healthiest and very logical way to deal with them.


few things that i think missed the purpose for me

1)music : i dont know this might be my personal POV but the music including everything from background music to ost suck' .. i missed a compulsory rap that ost sports based motivational drama always have plus the romantic background songs had no male singer so it kinda feel strange not to have a background melody to convey the ML's feelings.

2) the part where they show FL and the ex GF playing sister/friends was too superficial ..she even helped her hide the boy in closet ..that part was so unnecessary and unrealistic at the same time ..i dont know why they even put it there ..


okay so that is it ... you should definitely check this one out
rewatch value : very high.( i am watched it 5 years ago and watching it again while writing the review)
