This was a series that started off well but began to drag and become repetitive about 1/2-way through.

None of the 3 athletes involved in the "incident" in the past can get over themselves, and it makes them all unlikeable. The female lead's unending self-deprecation was too much. The characters do eventually improve, but it takes a long time. The most likeable character is the golden retriever-like male lead.

The romance is cute, but not the main focus. The private bandminton team environment is OK, but also takes a backseat.

There are other kdramas that handle romance & athletics in a much more compelling way - like the usuals: Fight for My Way, Weightlifting Fairy, 25/21
