Xue Yi Ran was overtly flirty towards Qi Tian from the start but that may just be his personality. Yi Ran was very observant, though, and knew that Qi Tian still loved running despite his protests. Despite his initial selfish reasons, Yi Ran turned out to be a good leader, someone his teammates looked up to.

24 episodes for a sports drama seems overkill, but it turned out just right to be able to flesh out the characters' individual stories. I loved that You Qian wasn't a spoiled team member despite his family background. He honored his grandfather and himself by doing what he loved. And when the team needed him in a different role, he stepped up. Each team member was like that, clearly caring and sensitive to what the team and the other members needed.

Kudos to Coach Wang who learned from his earlier coaching mistakes and strived to do better, even though he thought he was riding it easy until retirement. Instead, he took on the challenge when his team needed him. The most fascinating relationship was Yi Ran and Qi Tian. You'll have to decide for yourself if they had a deep friendship or something more. Regardless, I would recommend this series highly.
