The series "Tumbling" is definitely a series that surprised me~

The actors played their respective characters nicely and didn't give off the vibe of them being someone else who they "were" supposed to be. The story was very satisfying and I'm not gonna lie, it caused me to lose a few tears. After all, it was an amazing series with touching moments. The series showed a group of nine young men who had dreams and decided to seize it, together - they showed they can do tumbling too as men, as people who enjoy this kind of sport and felt no shame of doing that. They were like a perfect example of people who dream of something and go for it, they ignore the public opinion and give their all for their dream! It was so beautiful to watch a series like this 💗

The characters however weren't all about working for the tournament, only tumbling and getting bullied because of it. They actually expressed and awoke many feelings like insecurity, sadness, anger and frustration as well as happiness, satisfaction, joy and hope. They showed a beautiful friendship developing, team loyalty and faithfulness, even showed moments that touched LGBT themes. Each one of them had their past and with the story they were developing together thanks to each other and things that brough them as a team/group. 

The actors through their respective characters showed to us, the audience, that no matter what, we are all humans. We may showe we are strong and won't give up but deep down we feel so many kind of emotions there are moments when we want to give up but because there are people around us, be it friends, family or fans we always find some light in the dark tunnel and go after it with hope for the better future. 

The only thing I was wondering about was whether these actors had experience in tumbling or did they learn for the series. Sure, most of the movements were on the ground with hand movements and jumping on the spot or around but they also had done a few slightly or more dangerous movements like flips, backflips, handstands, arches, etc. That's why after the series I watched the bloopers and their preparations and I was satisfied to see how hard they worked but at the same time had some fun and were capable of joking between each other ✨
