I am a fan of modern Chinese sports-dramas. This is definitely a good drama to watch.
The acting is really good. They've done a good job with the casting. All the sports scenes have been filmed really well. The speed-skating and ice-hockey shots really put you on the edge of your seat.
Beyond the lovestory ( which is adorable), the drama is very uplifting and motivational. It really makes you renew your efforts in pursuing your dreams. There's a dialogue that I loved the most-- "dreams don't shine on their own. It is us who chase after our dreams that shine".
The FL is lovable even though she's not the brightest bulb of the lot. Unlike the usual wide-eyed bambi caught in a headlight, this FL is quite a gangster. The flashbacks where she bullied the ML when they were younger is hilarious. Some of the times she went overboard with the bullying is because she's quite innocent (and dense) to know that she's hurting them. She's ML's support and strength. Once the FL and ML get together, then there's no stopping them. It's really enviable the way they encourage eachother to pursue their dreams while they strive hard for their own.
The secondary couples are all adorable and inspiring. The underlying theme of the drama is balance between love and pursuing your goals.
I absolutely recommend this drama for its underlying message and theme.
I think they've overused the OST to the point of being annoying. But that's forgivable.
I am so happy to watch a C-drama that has a strong female lead. Please do give it a try ?❤️
