Song San Chuan (Lei Wu) is a rising professional badminton talent but incurred a psychological knot that has been affecting his performance. Liang You An (Yutong Zhou) is a competent and hardworking executive assistant at Y-Space Sports who has become indispensable to her boss thus could not extricate herself from her current job for better career prospects. San Chuan and You An meet at a sports event where her kindness leaves a striking impression on the young man. After more coincidental meetings afterwards, they strike up a friendship, though San Chuan's feelings have gone past the friend zone.
You An is assigned the task of managing the tennis club her boss' son and other pampered young men are members of. To motivate the spoiled club members into taking the sports seriously, she enlists the help of Song San Chuan whose professionalism and work attitude she admires. She suggests he switch to tennis, something that, at his rather advanced age of 22 for professional sports, is almost impossible. Would he succeed? Would he be able to overcome his psychological knots? Would You An be able to turn the tennis club into more than just being a club for pampered princes? Would the older You An be able to look past her and San Chuan's age difference and accept his love?
This is a sweet take on the older-woman-younger-man trope. The romance is believable and develops naturally. Lei Wu and Yutong Zhou's chemistry is mesmerizing. The sports aspect is riveting. The badminton and tennis tournaments are staged well, some of them can be nail biting. The camaraderie between the tennis club players is heartwarming.
It was definitely worth my time.
