Completely unrelated but the soundrack at the first scene of episode 4 where Taesan meets Haetae reminded me a little bit of Concerning Hobbits from lord of the Rings. These floute notes were similar.
What are the chances of The Winning Try "scoring" some nominations in next years Baeksang Awards? I could see it getting a nomination for Best Drama if the rest of the year has a weak lineup and I think that Yoon Kye Sang could receive a nomination as Best Actor.
Just finished watching the series. Oh boy, I'll miss my Hanyang team and Ju Garam. I loved their chemistry so much, they sticked together till the end and they were always there to support each other no matter what. Both Ju Garam and the boys learned so much thanks to each other and it was so heartwarming watching their chemistry develop. All for one and one for all!
I have some complaints when it comes to the writing and how it handled all of these subplots. It was clear that when the plot focused on the rugby team the story shined the most. It's a pity we didn't get to see more of that. If the drama had more episodes I think the plot would have been developed even better and some characters would have received more attention.
But don't interpret this as a hate comment because it's not. I loved the messages of The Winning Try and it has become one of my most favouite kdramas this year. Everyone did a magnificent job, the actors gave everything, especially Yoo Kye Sang who made me fall in love with Ju Garam and it's evident that they had great chemistry on and off-screen. The OST was so charming, I love the intro song (I didn't know until know that it was sung by the actors themselves!) and the story was overall good! I'll miss this team so much, it pains me to say farewell to them!
No offense but why is Marok being shy in front of Mir/Joo Bin? I mean, I know there is a huge age gap between…
I agree with almost all of your points except the first one. I think that Marok is like a father figure to Mirr, he is concerned about her and he's like a guardian for her.
Listen: I have zero problem with slow paced dramas. After all, I love Beyond Evil and Through The Darkness. But in Twelve's case, we're talking about an 8 episode series with episodes of 45 minutes duration. The worldbuilding is almost non-existant at this point, we have gotten vague information about the Angels and Ogwi. I know that the next episodes will expand the story but the pacing so far is not great.
The comedic parts disrupt the flow and are barely funny to say the least. Okay, there were some good moments but they are trying really hard to apply some comedy and it doesn't work. The fighting scenes are still poorly directed and I do not feel any strong emotions about the characters so far. I am intrigued by Ogwi, Mirr and Wonseung but apart from that, I don't feel anything more.
I watched the drama and honestly, I don't understand some people who say that the series scratched the surface of military abuse. Like, what more did you want?
I totally agree. I know that a loveline is inevitable and I'm okay with it as long as the romance part does not overshadows the relationship between the girls. I hope the writers did a good job handling that conflict, whether it will be a love triangle or not, I do not want to see the girls fighting because of a man.
I hope Choi Hyung Wook will play a darker character compared to his other roles. I'd love to see him in something different, he has the capability to convey darker emotions, especially when he portrays anger.
THE TRAILER LOOKS SO EXCITING, OMG. I am so sat for this movie and the cast is so promising! Si Wan, Gyu Young, Kyung Gun, Hyung Wook...I hope the movie will be good!
Will there be romance between the main leads? I'm asking because based on the second teaser and the second poster, some people have started to assume that something will happen between Eun Su and Gyeong.
