I picked this up for the hockey. Hockey has been a big part of my life for years now and when I saw this I was instantly intrigued. Women in hockey rep, cute cheesy romance, with a bunch of cliches thrown in, what could go wrong?
The Good:
-I really enjoyed this simply because of how well the two leads portrayed their characters. Daren and Sebrina did an amazing job with these characters. They made the relationship and romance flow seamlessly.
-Darren Chen: ugh he's great. watch the show for him. He isn't that overbearing ML, he's quirky but cool. Portrayed so well.
-The plot actually worked. I didn't have any issues other than the constant angst/dips in the plot (basically just the 24/7 drama). It wasn't bad but noticeable, I like to be on edge but oof give me a break.
The Not so Good:
- The parts in hockey that were incorrect. I know it's a drama and I think I only noticed this because I play hockey but oof.
- some of the transitions worked but some of them just had me questioning everything (looking at you confession scene)
- The stereotypes and sexism. Give me a show with a girl who can play hockey and not get told that she's too delicate or a h*e for playing on a guys team and I'll be a happy camper. They had a few questionable times that made the feminist in my scream.
- the public humiliation: no.
