So excited to watch this drama and I so wanted to like it. But by episode 26… it was just a miss for me. I’m not sure what the director was trying to do… a soccer drama but with very little soccer and actual coaching. We were given passive coaches that stood silently on the sidelines as the camera panned and captured their intense gazes and reflective moments about life. The FL who was so filled with energy and passion for these players never cheered for them during a game. How does that make sense? I would think she would be going crazy, cheering and yelling, especially when one of her “babies” got hurt on the field. But instead we got FL and ML standing next to each other in silence, with their “intense” looks of worry as the boys got beat up out there.

Too many parts of the drama was under developed that it made the drama seem very contrived and surface level. Before I start on the FL and how unnatural it felt watching her snack when clearly it was to make snacking look cute instead of her actually being hungry … I’ll stop. I don’t want to get too negative and I know actors can only do their best with what they are given.
