I just finished this and absolutely loved it with one exception to be mentioned momentarily. Another strong independent female lead and potential gold medalist weight lifter who has her own goals and has to come to terms with her feelings about her childhood friend who is also a promising medalist swimmer at the same college as her make for a dynamic plot. It was great to see the two navigate through early adulthood as she is first annoyed by his antics while pursuing an unattainable, one-sided relationship and while he is goofy yet a supportive friend and unaware of his true feelings for her. And, in this one too, there are great supporting cast members surrounding both leads who are multi-dimensional and fun. The one part that I absolutely hated and which shocked me was the use of corporal punishment on Kim Bok Joo. WTF?!?! This is a series filmed in 2016! This actually goes on? What?!?! I am an American, no experience with the Korean culture really, but this seemed WAAAYYYY out of line. And then Coach Choi finds out the real reason that she was running off and she's nice to her again? That was weird. If I was the subject of corporal punishment and physical discipline, I'd be suing Coach Choi! Putting that aside, it was momentary, and seemed like an artificial construct, but was upsetting frankly. Otherwise, great series!
