Enjoyable
Overall this show was pretty enjoyable to watch. It did start out a bit rough but by the second episode I was hooked despite there being some issues. It is a pretty stereotypical coming of age/High School (though they were in college) with a bit of some soap opera plot twists. The issues were plenty but still somehow managed to like this show. I think the main reason being that the actor that plays Man's character did such a good job in getting his emotions across. I genuinely loved that character. The actress playing Hongyok also had a charm to her. She was super annoying but you could not help but like her. Parents on this show were the worst except for Dao's Mom.The acting was really good but the directing of this was horrible. People were always awkwardly standing around areas or there would be these weird uncomfortable pauses. The script would also just introduce characters and then completely get rid of them make you wonder why this person was even introduced to you in the first place. It also almost completely drops the going to school part of the show at some point and just focuses on the boxing. But I think of the most annoying things was the fight scenes which you could clearly tell no one was getting hit. For a show that's about boxing and fights I would think they would do a better job of making sure that the fight scenes were good.
score 6/10
