Pros:
[+] A strong theme of friendship and overcoming challenges. This created some of the most emotional and hilarious scenes throughout the whole drama.
[+] In terms of tennis matches, what made them especially fun to watch was the anticipation of waiting for each player's special move to be revealed.
[+] The character development was spread equally, which doesn't happen often when there's such a huge supporting cast. Each team member, and even players from other teams had their own chance to grow and develop.
Cons:
[-] Some minor loose ends could have been tied up better, specifically relating to how Xinglong and Dayong dealt with their main challenge in the series.
Memorable characters: all of the main players in Yu Qing, Huang Jing, Zhuo Yu, Ji Jingwu, Yuan Chi, Bai Shiting

Criminally underrated series
I didn't read the manhwa so I went into this series totally blind. Such an unexpected delight! Incredible storyline, acting, cinematography, and music. Every episode I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next.The biggest applause goes to the main leads, Min and Toptap, who have insane chemistry. A lot of times their emotions were vividly expressed through their eyes alone, and many scenes had me either squealing over their unexpectedly romantic moments or emotionally wrecked by their heart wrenching backstories.
Not a single scene felt overacted or cheesy, which I normally see a lot of in BL series, especially when it comes to NC scenes. Often times I was laughing out loud, and other times I'm trying not to cry. The production team and Min did a fantastic job portraying Sun as both a badass who could easily punch someone's lights out, but yet loyal and endearing in a way that will make you feel genuinely moved and want to root for him. Needless to say, this series is a must watch!
