My thoughts:
I was actually a little hesitant to watch this as I thought it was a boxing drama but it was totally unexpected. The casts had great chemistry and this drama was also very touching and a little unexpected as well. Not only that, I also cried my eyes out during the sad scenes. Also the synopsis is really long so I watched and read to confirm. Oh and, they'll be a season 2 coming out in 2022!

My rating:
10/10 was really good😌
