Racket Boys (2021)

Absolute gem!! 🏸

Likes:
1. I came for the sports themed dramas and stayed for the kids! Haekang, Yoondam, Woochan, Yongtae, Insol, Seyoon and Hansol were perfectly casted! I'll predict they are the new generation Kdrama prince and princesses in the making!!
2. I love the kids' friendship and romance. Esp Haekang's growth from hating the village life and his team and becoming passionate about the sport. And how he had found his real friends. Even with the other teams.. they maybe rivals on court but off court they were close.
3. Coach Yoon, Coach Ra, Coach Whitewolf .. sometimes as adults we think we know it all, but sometimes it's good to learn from the kids too.
4. The badminton matches. I read they all trained for 6-9 months.
5. Took me some time to warm up to the villagers but they were good people. And became family to the badminton team. Especially cried when grandma passed away.

Dislikes:
The only reason why I didnt give full 9.5 is because I didnt like the plot about the city guys trying to buy the village.

I'd like a season 2 but i'm afraid it won't be as good so i'll just rewatch this.
