The grand gesture olympics...
This drama has so much going for it, the leads are great, there are no overly annoying characters, the intimate scenes are fluffier than fluffy, and the male lead takes off his shirt a lot... Add to it that it is a genre I generally enjoy, so how come I could not rate this higher than a 7,5?
It could be my high expectations of the cast and theme or it could just be that this drama had a lot of potential as well as a lot of good to it, The characters where not bad, but they were not very relatable and very little about the situation and twist were properly explored or made any sense for that matter. It felt like they put all their effort in to making fluffy scenes with grand gestures and beautiful scenery that they forgot about adding a plot, depth... Etc. I just did not figure out when the female lead fell in love, there was very little hint of balance between the two, as most of the drama he just seems like a love sick puppy with a crush on his coach. So though the chemistry in the intimate scenes was there... it was more of a light switch deal on with the steam off with the steam... back to treating the guy like a kid,,, Add to it that Wang An Yu who normally has this amazing smile is seen making an ugly grin half of the time instead of making use of his beautiful smile making him seem more childlike and not the mature man he is supposed ot come off as...
The friendships are pretty decent but there is very little in this drama that will have you feel, well any kind of feeling as you wind up feeling ok, this was pretty, or that was a pity but move a long...
So was it bad, no not really, was it good no not really either... it is basically an easy watch that will shower you with gestures and beautiful scenes + scenery so if you are in the mood for fluff it is an ok place to find it, but I have seen better.
