One thing you have to understand when you are coming to watch this Live Action is that IT IS A CHINESE DRAMA as well. So yes they will change things around from the anime and the light novel to fit their standards. And for those who haven't read the light novel or watch the anime, it is a great drama that talks about teamwork, passion, pride, and "Glory".

CHARACTERS: Let me just say that Yang Yang as Ye Xiu is the best thing ever. He really gave the character a lot of depth and I thoroughly enjoyed all of his expressions! Also for the rest of the characters, they brought their own color and twist to the characters. Honestly there were some parts of the drama that made me hate so many of the characters where I was literally yelling at the screen. So to the actors and actresses who made that happen, that is very commendable in my opinion. The only problem I would say I had is how fast the character development was for some of the characters. But then again it is only a 40 episode drama, each episode being 36- 45 minutes.

STORYLINE: Everything flowed well together, very very similar to how it is in the anime and light novel, but then there are some plot and development that only is shown here.

MUSIC: 100 out of 100, honestly I absolutely love all of the songs, they fit perfectly with the theme of the drama.

Once you start this drama you won't be able to put it down. It has deep and inspiring themes and the graphics are so captivating that if you even blink for a second, you will miss something. I really hope they do a season 2 of this drama! But if not, I am completely content.

This is the drama adaptation of the novel by Jiu Xiao Qi. One thing you need to know for this drama is that it is unique from the novel, therefore they will add characters or plotlines to attract the viewer/audience and create their own color. To those who haven't read the novel it is a great inspirational drama that talks about dreams, passion, struggle, teamwork, family, friendship, and romance in both the sports realm and also in reality.

Storyline: Though the story seems very cliche, they dig a little deeper than the novel and add characters/plotline that make it more complete. My only qualm is that I felt like they could have done more with the ending.

Acting/Cast: For me, I couldn't pick a better cast to portray each their characters. Every one of the actors/actresses portrayed their character very well. There were moments of the drama where I was literally yelling at the screen because of how annoyed I got with some of the characters, therefore to the actors/actresses that is really commendable in my opinion.

Music: I am in love with the OST that was used in the drama. It went well with the scenes of the drama.

Once you will start this drama, it is hard to put it down. It is one those dramas that makes you reflect because it is super relatable one way or another.

First of all it is a drama therefore, they added some scenes or changed some scenes to make it suitable to their audience and their taste. Each adaptation has its own unique color and this one is no exception.

STORYLINE: The only reason I am giving it a 9.5 is because the timeline can get a little confusing at the beginning for first time watchers who haven't read the novel, listened to the audio drama, or watched the anime. Though the storyline picks up quick and it starts to make more sense as there are more episodes where the plot/story start to unravel. But for those who have read the novel or watched the other adaptations of this, it is so enjoyable and you get enlightened because everything make so much sense !!

ACTING: THE ACTING IS PHENOMENAL. Oh my goodness I cannot stress this enough. The actors really gave so much depth and color to their character, not only in their dialogue but in their expression as well. You love. You hate. You pity. You cry. You laugh. You get chills. You feel for their characters.

MUSIC: Perfect absolutely perfect, it goes too well with this drama.

It has been 2 weeks or more since I have finished this drama and I am still not over this drama! I am absolutely in love!

As an avid fan of both the anime and the manga, when this drama first came out I was highly skeptical because of the past adaptations, which weren't up to par in my opinion. But this drama completely surprised me with how closely it followed the manga. Plus all of the elements that make Prince of Tennis, Prince of Tennis were there. Thank you CGI effects. Though for this particular drama they focus more on the individual members, the team in general, and romance than they do with the matches.

CAST: The director did so well with the casting, props to them for finding actors/actresses that have similar features to the original characters. Whenever they would introduce a character I would get excited! I would also get excited when the characters did their move! They made some changes to some of the characters but then that just made it unique, in my opinion.

Overall, it was a very satisfying drama and adaptation of Prince of Tennis. One of the better ones in my opinion! Even if you haven't read the manga or seen the anime version of Prince of Tennis, this is still a feel good and inspirational drama to watch. It talks about teamwork, friendship, and passion for what they love.

A drama that hits deep into your heart and soul.

Go Ahead is one of those dramas whose story line draws you in. The drama itself is heartwarming, familial, and comical mixed with the struggles of reality, dreams and separation.

Acting/Cast/Characters: Each of the characters have their own color but the way each of the actors portrayed their character, you really feel their emotions and see everything from their own eyes. For me Ling Xiao's character itself was kind of bland and pitiable, but then the way Song Wei Long, was able to portray that pity in his character must have been no easy feat, so that is very commendable in my opinion. I have to really commend Steven Zhang though, he brought He Ziqiu to life and went over the top with his acting. By far, at least in my opinion He Ziqiu and Steven Zhang made this drama. Also if you hate or dislike a character, you know that the actress/actor is doing their job right!

Music: I am in love with the soundtrack that they used for this drama and each song that was played suited the scene well.

The only complaint I have for this drama was how they didn't show the repairing of the relationship between Ling Xiao's mother and Li JianJian. They could have extended it a little bit to show that part, but they didn't and instead they really rushed it.
