Swetha
A fluffy sweet sports romance for a chill afternoon
Wang Anyu finally has hair in this one !!!
Honestly one of the reasons I started this drama was because of Wang Anyu. I liked his acting but I just didn't vibe with his peach fuzz and his characters in the other dramas. I saw the poster and decided to give this one a chance and I am so happy I did.
The positives:
- Great sportsmanship
The story had the spirit of sportmanship. The characters seemed fairly realistic in terms of their attitude to the sport. The sport scenes were also great and felt thrilling to watch
- Cute couple dynamic
The male and female lead had a cute dynamic. They were constantly bickering but understood each other on a fundamental level. They were their natural selves and wasn't cheesy at all. Even when they get together the physical intimacy is minimal and it suits their age range.
- Finally a real tomboy female lead
Some people felt the female lead didn't suit the role but I actually liked her. She was a real tomboy and not some stereotypical portrayal of the term. Her costumes were simple, her makeup was minimal and her attitude was actually cool. She wasn't dressed like a boy but the way she carried herself was like how normal sport students are in college. Her acting wasn't bad and I actually found her endearing and cute.
- Wang Anyu stole the spotlight !
I always liked Wang Anyu's acting since he usually does outgoing, funny and refreshing characters (not cold arrogant CEO). He suits the role and I found him manly and cute at the same time. He made my heart flutter multiple times and I couldn't help but cheer for him. Looking forward to more of his works.
The negatives:
- The second lead/villain coach can burn in hell
The second lead character was just annoying to watch. Actually both the siblings were bad. They seem like they're doing it purely out of love but both of them are selfish and manipulative as hell. I didn't want a redemption arc for him, he was just pure evil and a temporary suspension only for him to get reinstated soon again was not enough.
- Over glorification of being an athlete
The only aspect of the sport scenes I disliked were the ones where majorly injured athletes were still participating. It was contradictory to me because the show was first giving importance to safety during the sport but then they later glorify getting hurt and majorly injured.
- The plot pacing is a little weird
The plot pacing was all over the place. The story never got boring but was it slow in some parts and fast in other parts. So it didn't feel consistent and threw me off a little.
Overall:
Definitely recommend it if you want a sweet sports romance with no high drama. 8/10
