What with what seems to be twt’s impending doom, it might be a good time to reboot (??) this account. But looking at past posts is fun so I’ll keep them as they were.

I think viewers probably enjoyed shipping Se-young with the general manager or Jae-hee, but I actually really liked his dynamic with the primary foil of the series, Director/President Kwon. They were both so brilliant at what they did, but their methods and attitudes were completely at odds with one another.

Also, I loved ace pitcher Doo-ki and hitter Dong-gyu’s relationship. I really loved how little by little their pasts came to light, and how the pieces all started connecting with each new episode. The fact that Dong-gyu started out with a sense of rivalry which turned into grudging respect, and the resentment he later harbored when Doo-ki stepped out of his room after seeing him with that needle in his hand... who would’ve thought it would mark the start of the apparently one-sided enmity between them? The way Dong-gyu was livid after finding out Doo-ki would be transferred just when they finally had a chance to play together again in the Dreams and have a chance at the championship, the way Doo-ki, despite his stoic temperament, actually looked interested in the little welcome dance that the other players did for Dong-gyu, that infinitely sad look when he said perhaps they weren’t fated to play as a team, and the scene that really made me root for them--Doo-ki’s nonchalant invite for a barbecue dinner while he kept glancing specifically in Dong-gyu’s direction, hoping he would join.
