The concept is nice but..
I really liked the concept of having a romantic relationship with two nations who are at war or so, especially since North korea is quite mysterious, it was really nice to get an insight on how things are (even if they were not as realistically as it should be, but i understand it is a drama.)I hated how the ML only solved things because of his status, then at the end he just gave up the army and went to play the piano in Swizterland, like what??? I'm sure they could have done better! And it IS not that easy in North Korea to do such a thing!! That is sadly pretty unrealistic, and I hated the south korea arc, it was very unncessary, it could have had a bittersweet ending and we would have cheered for it, but they chose an unrealistically happy ending which really ruined the story for me.
It is fun to watch, and this drama is how i got into asian dramas in general, but I wouldn't rewatch it.

Great show! Totally recommended!
I loved how the story was excuted, it wasn't unrealistic and the actors did a great job at giving away an atmosphere of competition. I'm not a sports fan, let alone a ping pong fam, yet i enjoyed the show quite alot. It was really fun to watch even if you are not into sports!There is romance in the show, but it isn't deeply persued. After all, the show is about people who give everything up to train to become world champions.
I'm already rewatching!! It is really enjoyable to watch!

IT IS WORTH IT !
okay, so this is going to contain alot of spoilers so beware.This drama has become my second favourite drama ever, and it deserves this spot so much!
For the ending; i was really bitter about how XiaoJian ended at first, since i thought it is not happy enough for him to just disappear, with the people he cared about the most hating on him, however, when the officers came to visit XiaoXiao in the last scene, it really felt like a closure to me and I LOVE IT! he lived a meaningful life and got recognised by the one he mostly cared about! Even if it was late, or after he died, his effort was NOT in vain, which is great!!
I hated how XiaoXiao didnt keep her promise, he asked her to believe in him, and i know he gave all the wrong vibes away, but she was the closest to him and the one who knew him the most yet she doubted him and treated him as an outsider later on, which really broke my heart.
It was obvious that yi dongdong was going to get the girl since the first scene as the story was naratted by him so yeah, I liked XiaoJian more but I agree that XiaoXiao is a better match with dongdong at least she will live in peace without having to worry if her husband is dead or not all day so yeah lol.
Im still crying because i wanted XiaoJian to be somehow happy or get another match or so, but well, he lived like a hero and died like a hero!
Its a great drama and i love it!!
