Mariachiara
Italy
I was looking for a long-ish drama since as you all know a lot of us are in quarantine and need some distraction, and a few weeks prior I had heard of this drama and was immediately interested. I was already a fan of Janice Wu so the decision to start this was even easier.
I really enjoyed this drama and I feel like it did a great job by keeping me busy and entertained. First of all, I loved the cast! I love how we got to know the characters better through time so even the ones you really hate at first, by the end you really care about them. Also, since this is a sports drama I was really surprised by the great work they did! Ice skating is not the easiest but they did such a great job at making it seem effortless! That being said, I didn't really care about some of them, but that's okay, as most of them are very likable and cute.
As for the plot, I honestly have very little to nothing to complain about, I found it always at the same pace and never felt really bored or uninterested, and when considering the fact that they are 40 episodes, this is honestly great work.
I didn't really care for the O.S.T. but towards the middle-end I found myself really enjoying that as well.
It's not a perfect drama, but I absolutely loved having every day some new episodes to watch and this kept me company so well I'm very sad it's over.
Don't know if they'll do a second season, but if they do, I will surely watch it!

After watching the first couple of episodes I knew I would love it until the end.
First of all the actors were amazing: I loved our main characters (Bong Hee and Ji Wook) because they were really wonderful and sweet and caring and overall such good people but I also got really attached to the supporting roles and I find them so so important and it would have definitely not been the same without them. Dong Ha (who plays the villain) is extraordinary and he really impressed me in all his scenes.
The plot was great. It had so so much and everything was linked. I know it kinda dragged in the middle and it was painful to watch (in a good way) but I never ever wanted to stop watching. It has never happened to me that I would look so much foward for just a trailer or a few stills, but there I was the whole time suffering.
The ost was really good, I still listen to the songs after a couple of weeks from the end and they all bring back such good memories.
I have re-watched all of the episodes multiple times already and I can't just part myself from it. I can't believe there won't be more episodes coming out.
If you haven't watched this drama yet, watch AT LEAST the first 4-6 episodes (they last like 35 minutes each) because the plot really kicks in and it gets so awesome.

The cast was just superb, I can't picture anyone else for those roles, because they were perfectly casted.
They made me love and appreciate all of their characters in a way that is beyond me.
I really liked the OST (especially BTOB's track) and I like listening to the songs from time to time,
Overall I really recommend this particolar drama if you're looking for something very realistic but still heart-warming and adorable. And also for the amazing kiss scenes (all hail Park Seo Joon that has now made my standards for a boyfriend even higher).
