A lot of clichés to start with, but everything is sorted out for the best as often is the case with teenage groups. A surprising amount of decent badminton showing dedication, commitment, technical progress, challenges met and conquered. A glimpse of the pressure the kids and their coaches are under, as well as the situation in a typical agricultural township which is gradually experiencing depopulation and all of its inconveniences. Some confusing parts,
such as suggesting a third of the way through that Hae Kang Yoon and Se Yoon were in elementary school together when in fact he was from Seoul and she from Daegu. Though its a highschool team we never meet any other students, aside of the 25 baseball players, there is nobody that isn't a badminton player. There seem to be only 7 adults in the whole town yet they initially truly believe they've been outvoted about the development proposal even though it's being proposed by a man they have little regard for to a room full of these same 7 people, none of whom wanting to accept the terms.
But if you collect the names of Korean dishes you will be well served as food is hugely important and symbolic in this show, if that's your thing it'll peak your curiosity.
With one more episode I am amazed at the speed in which I devoured the whole series. Excellent character development and some wonderful acting. My favorite scene is probably when the whole town came to cheer in typical festivity garments.
