The Rebound

This is a sports themed BL series, like "Twins" which is about basketball. So for those who don't like basketball or sports in general, probably won't care much for the main theme of this series. It's about a boy named Zen who loves basketball so much. But his school board was hell bent on disbanding the basketball club. He tried to fight for the club with the help of the other main character, Ryu, their coach, and the other players in their team. The plot is straight forward with almost no plot twists. Although I have no complaints about the plot, I do have several questions. Why didn't they tell the audience about what happened to Ryu in the past? What made Ryu bailed on Zen? How did Ryu ended up in a dumpster, almost dead. I feel like they cut too many crucial scenes.

This series went way beyond just kids trying to rebuild their basket ball team. It was darker and full of struggle. It explores darker themes such as gambling, sexual assault, drugs, and fighting. It shows a kid struggling to remove himself from playing street basketball for gambling. He is off the streets by what I can only label a gang, they give him a place to stay in exchange for him playing basketball for them.

The action was pretty good for a basketball series and it was well balanced between the action, romance, and sport. The family drama and reconciliations could've used some work.

It was still an amazing show and the end scene was... hehe, it was good.

Who knew Meen-Ping could be extorted this good, P'Apirak to be completely accredited for which. P'Golf, yeim jing jing. The ambience, narrative and choice of sport reek of NBA. 'Ryu' and 'Zen' reminded me of 'Luke' and 'Nat' from 'One Tree Hill'. Finding an untainted Bl centered around a 10 feet high loop is difficult, nonetheless, script writing team has clearly impressed me if not for the exaggerated 'granny-loves-that-lonely-child' trope. Apparently, the benchwork is based on a 2005 English film however looking at the gradual dissipation of foul feelings between leads it could resemble the recent biographical Korean film by Jang Hang-jun. Ending laid a convincingly plausible track for future enterprise. I opinionate its structure to be better than 'Wandee Goodday', coming from the same crew. Mozarts composition by MAIYARAP throttles energy levels, exceedingly. I almost forgot to mention, Jet-Prince interaction struck a chord with me. Frank, good to see you in a notable role.
