The #kDrama #TheWinningTry featured Rugby Sevens, so that's what I scored it. It could have been better with 2 fewer episodes and less focus on the antagonists.

Now for sport of a very different kind: I can't watch #jDrama #ChihayafuruFullCircle without first starting at the very beginning, the first of the 3 live action movies

@ronsboy67 I did enjoy #TheWinningTry however I would have preferred to see more rugby and less shooting. I thought there would be rugby matches, but the #kdrama focused more, probably for budget reasons, on the shooting team issues.

@s1m0n4 Yes! As a Kwi, I was SO excited to see an entire #kDrama built around rugby, and especially my favourite form of the game, sevens. Instead, the real focus was the corruption in the shooting admin. Disappointing. There was still a lot to like though, especially the kids who called out their parents on their BS, which is why I gave it 7 🙂

@ronsboy67 I also liked how every time Ju Ga-ram managed to turn the situation in his favor or even how a coach can be very good at her job even when she hasn't won any medal herself. And the episode about Ung and his father was my absolute favorite.

It was really a #kdrama with much food for thoughts, but it should have been called The Winning Hanyang High.
