A True Feelgood KDrama

This had been on my watchlist since last year when lots of viewers mentioned that it gave off a similar feel to the "Reply" series (which I loved). All I can say is I can't believe I put off watching this gem of a drama for so long! I had absolutely no expectations going in and by the time I finished all the episodes, I get why so many comments remark about the wholesomeness of this drama. This is one of the few dramas that I've actually watched more than once!

Likes:
-Tang Jun Sang as Yoon Hae Kang. Hae Kang lives as if he's the main character of his life and I aspire to have that kind of confidence. He's a bit whiny in the beginning but gradually warms up to his badminton crew and I loved the character growth! Besides that, Tang Jun Sang did such a great job with this role. I ended up watching "Move to Heaven" afterwards and you wouldn't believe that the same actor played two characters that are polar opposites of each other. I'm looking forward to seeing him in future productions!
-Badminton crew's friendship. They resolved misunderstandings and over time, they became like family to each other. It was just so wholesome to watch!
-It brought light to a sport that honestly doesn't have as big of a following compared to like baseball or soccer. The badminton smash shots were pretty good and accompanied with the on point BGM, it made the scenes all that more exciting. Sometimes it felt like I was actually there watching the match live.
-Gosh dang the romance was so pure and cute, my fan girl heart almost couldn't take how cute it was. Now whenever I hear that OST, I'll always think of that couple.

I know for sure there's little to no chance of a season 2 with how we basically got a mini epilogue anyway but I can't help but want to see what's next for the badminton squad!
