It is quite fun to watch this drama, but I still feel that mydramalist’s rating 8.7 is too overrated. I haven’t read the manga nor watched the anime, so I am gonna judge this one only as a drama.Here are my opinions;

1.Solid acting from the casts
Though the casts seem rather new faces to me, their actings are quite solid. The male lead looks quite young in the drama( but actually not very young), his acting is impressive.
Iriene Song(though I don’t like her in Ever Night) looks more cute in a modern drama, she has a baby face and her acting has much more improved.

2.Friendship
This drama doesn’t have much romance, I don’t think it needs romance as well. But their teamwork, solid friendship, affections, unity all made up for that lack of romance.

3.Watchable but Draggy plot
The plot needs to be a little shortened. Though we can all predict who will win and who will lose, I still enjoy the matches. But the plot is too draggy while showing the preparation period (I understand that animes are like that). I don’t also like the unnecessary conversations between Da Chi and Jiale (bromance but looks like they are flirting )
There are unnecessary fillers as well, so I skipped some of those scenes.

4. Overall
As I mentioned above, it is fun to watch though.It doesn’t have a dramatic plot but I still enjoyed watching it.
If you don’t have any other interesting drama or tired from those breakup, dramatic plots, it is quite an option to choose.

7.5 is the best rating I can give, 8.7 is too overrated for this one.
