Dream

This is an aggressively average movie. It packs in all the usual clichés - the team sucks, a few players have some talent that isn't used (yet), the coach doesn't want to be there and gives up and then returns with an inspirational speech etc. - which is fine. Clichés are clichés for a reason: they work. But you have to DO something with them. You can't just plonk them in the script and think that's it. The fact that the team sucks is supposed to be funny - it isn't. When some players finally realise their potential it's supposed to be triumphant - it isn't.

The only thing that halfway works is the story arc of the coach and that has more to do with the actor's charisma than with the writing. Park Seo-Joon gets very little to work with, but he's good. As is Lee Ji-Eun. Their rivalry provides some much needed humour. Everything else is bland, even though the characters should be compelling. They're all down on their luck and they've all been through things, but they're written in such a way that it's hard to feel anything for them all.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but hardcore fans of the two leads. If you want to watch a sports movie, there are loads of other, way better ones.

Hopeful, emotional, sweet and uplifting!!

I was waiting for this movie for SO long, I think it was because if covid that was paused and it's finally here!

Big fan of Park Seo Joon and IU and first time ever seeing them together in something makes it so cool!

Fave part is the very special cameo of the amazing Kang Ha Neul who was Park Seo Joon co star in Midnight Runners and also acted with IU in the super famous kdrama Moon Lovers.

I love how quirky all characters are, the comedy its on point (Korean style comedy) and has the right amount of drama but doesn't get too heavy.

The overall stories are very emotional and you will find yourself going through a lot of different feelings throughout the whole movie, rooting for the characters to find happiness and keep fighting to beat the demons that once brought them to the situation they are in.

The message of the movie itself is very moving: Everyone in life has a different story and background and you will never know what will happen to you, so be kind, never give up and fight for what your want and for the people you love.

You will cry and smile with them and at the end you will have an amazing feeling of hope.

Watch it and enjoy this super heartwarming movie!

Funny, light hearted, at times emotional, good movie.

Been waiting to watch this movie for a few weeks, after watching snippets and the trailer. Finally watched it on Netflix today and I loved it.

Park Seo Joon as the angry young footballer is the star of this movie. His acting as always is fantastic. His comic timing is great. He nails his coaching and emotional scenes. Loved his chemistry and scenes with IU. They make a great pair and would love to see them in a show together.

IU was the surprise element for me, as I haven't watched her before. She was really good.

Every supporting cast member was perfectly cast. They did well in their parts.

Enjoyed it. Definitely rewatching it.

Such a strange concept for a soccer movie - I can see putting together a rag-tag homeless team together but to recruit the bad-boy pro and talk him into a scripted team so a drama can be made out of it? What caught my attention in the first place to watch this movie was Park Seo-joon and would have loved to see him in a more active role on the field (no fault of his own - it is the scripting or writer) instead of taking a sideline tole the whole time as a coach of the drama team. Maybe he could have jumped in instead of the Brazilians to save the day since alot of rules were being broken anyway. Park See-joon did a great job with the role he was given and as always, a favorite in this movie too.

So maybe we're unfair with the low reviews, maybe we'd love it if we were 8? I had no idea what to expect but I couldn't wait to watch anything with PSJ and IU. Unfortunately I was let down but I still love these actors and I guess it's ok if they decide to do movies like that. The premise was cute and somehow interesting so no hard feelings. But yeah, watch it with your kids and write a review based on their opinion so we can have a more objective view.

If you like the actors and you're an adult, you should definitely watch Hwarang, Itaewon Class, Midnight Runners, She Was Pretty, and my all time favorite Fight For My Way with Park Seo Joon. And My Mister with IU. To see what they're normally capable of and suitable for.
