Kdrama Review:Thumping Spike 2

Ah! Throwback to one of the best drama character ''Kim Yeol'' from Sassy go go, Now here again Lee won keun is ready to make me fall in love with him all over again. I miss Kim yeol and other characters from Sassy go go. Loved that show so so so so so much. Now I am realizing all over again how much I liked that show. Sweet memories.

So, Thumping spike 2. I loved Lee won keun, probably the reason I was willing to watch the show. I haven't watched the Thumping spike 1, but as far I watched thumping spike 2, I am not upset with the drama, but I am not completely satisfied either.

PLOT:6/10

PLOT

'Introverted bookworm Han Da Woon (Kim So Eun) starts to come out of her shell when she bumps heads with Dong Hae Sung (Lee Won Geun), the star player of her school's volleyball team.
REVIEW

I must say, Lee won keun's character was nicely done but definitely he was way better in Sassy Go Go.  Hae sung is the star volleyball player who decided to drop his career and pursue his studying. His character should I say could've been better written. The main problem of this show is after few episodes, things started to make less sense, and kind of lost it's plot. Even though overall I enjoyed the show, I am not satisfied wih the fact that the drama was poorly written. Some things just COMPLETELY didn't make sense. after episode 12ish I wanted to drop the show, but still decided to continue, only hoping for the show to get better. It didn't get completely better, but definitely was less worse. 
Kim So eun as Han Da Woon, probably isn't the best character. She started off as sweet innocent looking but later on, found her as one of the most frustrating female lead. She just won't speak up for her own life for some reason.

She does really look adorable tho

Episode 1-10: at episode 9-10, when I finally started to think I am enjoying the show, despite of some bits here and there which I was willing to forgive, suddenly out of nowhere, the drama started to get weirder. The plot just didn't make sense.here some quick lists.
..........SPOILER ALERT...............

• Unnecessary and cringey relationship between Go Yi ra and Han da won. 
• If she was unhappy with the relationship, she should speak up! 
• Hae sung out of nowhere confesses her feelings to Da won? 
• Dad applying to drop-out college without even him knowing (It's not believable in any sense)
• The whole fan stabbing his hand was utterly useless
• At hospital, anything and everything happened was completely nonsense. Why they are  refusing to get the surgery done? why the dad is begging the doctor? Why dad and hae sung became all good and nice suddenly ? just why and why??
• Da won going out with the two boys at the same time/when she could break up with Yi ra first., but decided to play along (So unlike of her ''sweet'' personality)

• I straight up got so annoyed with the fact that Yi ra trusted both Hae sung and Da woon, and got back-stabbed by them. for the whole they treated him like some kind of insect. There was no friendship development between them.

The stuff I enjoyed..

• The sisterhood between Han da woon and her twin sis.
• I loved how the both twins are completely different.
• Ah reum was my favourite. Her attitude was always on point.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Go yi ra. He is a funny, good looking character and probably the main character for me. He is the only one who cared about stuff which made sense. for instance, He started off liking volleyball and could do anything to play, and He finished off the drama playing volleyball and won.

• I liked the ending where Go yi ra found his girl(finally) who is perfect for his personality. The girl is none other than Han da won's sister, who definitely managed to be likable unlike her frustrating sister Han Da Won
• The cute smile of Lee won geun
• Cute scenes from the beginning between our leads

The stuff I wished to happen...

• More screen space for Han da won's sister. Who apparently appeared once in a while, still managed to be more female lead material than our actual lead.
• I wished everybody appreciate Go yi ra for once.
• to witness a story for Go Yi ra and Da won's sis, Ah reum.

Overall Grading- D
