A drama with so much heart (you will cry)
Guys, I am not okay.
This has got to be one of the best cdramas I've watched this year, probably ever (EMOTIONAL CRASHOUT INCOMING).
The characters, the story, were truly one of a kind, uniquely attaching, in a way I haven't seen since When I Fly Towards You. The drama makes you care for each of the characters, their backstories, their goals, and ambitions in an organic way that makes you laugh when they are happy, cry when they are at their lowest, and rejoice in their achievements as if they were your own.
The pacing of this drama is so well done; at no point did it feel like it was dragging or that anything unnecessary was happening. The timing of each event perfectly connects to the next, so everything's coherent and equally impactful.
Ok, so I'll ditch the seriousness now.
OMG OMG OMG YOU GUYS, THIS DRAMA IS SO GOOD WTF????????
I was literally laughing and crying every step of the way. The boys in the football team have my whole heart, and then some. Like, they are my children that I will protect with my everything. Wen Chengye, my baby, was so misunderstood and just needed a friend, or like, 10 plus 2 extra parents, someone please hug him. Fu Xinshu was my sweetheart, someone who cared so much and deserved every bit of love back. Qin Ao, I love this goofy, adorable boy. Not just them, but every single one of the boys on the team holds a special place in my heart, and seeing them grow and develop was an amazing experience.
And how could we forget the main characters? This is the first time I've seen Esther Yu play a non-babyish character, and her amazing acting skills shone even brighter. She should pick more roles like this. Anyway, Wanxing's trauma runs so deep, but she never lets her scars affect the team. She is guarded, but also has so much love to give; it's beautiful. Wang Fa, as he slowly opened up and trusted Wanxing with his fears and past, he healed her too. This drama showcases amazing communication and how it's okay to lean on others when you are at rock bottom, and to hold someone up when they aren't at their brightest, either. They were so cute, istg, I was screaming into my pillow every time they showed up on screen.
These characters found a family in each other and healed wounds they didn't inflict. It was an honour to embark on this journey with them.
TL: DR
Best drama I have watched in a while, with phenomenal pacing and an emotionally attaching story. You will care and cry for these people. IDK how to move on ㅠㅠ.
Sidenote: This drama was surprisingly 'open-minded' if you know what I mean, what with Wen Chengye and Fu Xinshu, and the Fl's bestfriend. I'm telling you I picked up a very strong vibe (am not complaining). Definitely trying to push China's restrictions.
