When I started the drama, I thought its primary focus would be sports, but boy was I wrong! Sports are more of a medium for the fluffy romance between Luo Na and Duan Yu Cheng to ignite/take place; I mean, come on, it was evident from the very first episode when he made it his goal to enroll in the university she coaches in. He had an unparalleled passion for high jumping, sure, but let's not forget he also had the fattest crush on her from day 1.

Putting all that aside, what I liked most about this drama was how smoothly the plot went. There were no breakups, no unnecessary quarrels, and no miscommunications. Furthermore, despite there being situations where the ML could've lashed out, he kept his zen instead, and whenever he was pushed down to the ground by others, he didn't hold a grudge on anything of that sort. He simply helped himself up and stepped aside, maintaining his peace and the peace of others. As for the FL, I loved how she didn't make it awkward to retain the friendship she had with Wu Ze even though he pulled the I-am-grieving-and-I-will-kiss-you stunt on her (that was kind of annoying and cowardly -- Trying to kiss the person you like because they're sympathizing with you in your mourning process). What I also liked about her is how serious, firm, and unwavering she is. Once she had her mind set on a belief, she protected it, and I guess that's where her personality intersects with the ML's. Other than that, I liked how the ML was only clingy around her. He never showed that side of himself to others, which I found kind of cute.

Moving on to the things I didn't quite enjoy: kissing without consent threw me off BIG TIME! I don't know who still thinks that's romantic. It ultimately isn't. Moreover, there is the fact that the ML was switching track fields around. At a certain point, because of his height, he was told that high jumping ain't for him, so he became a sprinter, but then again, a trainee in high jumping, what??? Besides, the way he left the national team after all the sweat and tears he put into training was silly and dumb. He could've stayed. Gosh, that was frustrating.

To put the last nail in the coffin, what happened to Shi Yin's one-sided love?? Out of nowhere, the girl vanished. She didn't even profess her love to Yu Cheng. I still don't find meaning in casting an actress whose character is pointless and does nothing to the course of events.

The plot and characters aside, the drama was shot beautifully, but there were some scenes where I really thought, Is this being shot by the same person? There was a particular scene where I couldn't look straight at the screen because the camera was rolling on and on and on until I felt dizzy. I am not even going to talk about the editing. Some scenes were so saturated, especially in the ML's hometown, I hardly enjoyed them. The music, however, was top-tier.
