A feel good slice of life masked as a sports drama (at least so far)

EDIT/REVISED

So much potential in this one has been relegated to a cliche drama.

Like mentioned before, this drama is less of a sports drama than it is just a slice of life drama. And that is what made it great for the first couple of episodes, however, the moment it started to get serious about the sports aspect, it has completely fallen off the rails.

That's because it practically tells us nothing about the sport of badmington, except that some players are
good" and that some players are bad. Unless it fixes itself soon, I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop this.

Racket Boys has so far been nothing short of amazing.

It tells the story of a student who loves baseball and is their top player at his school, who due to having a poor family and other factors, can not continue to play the sport he loves to play. The family moves to a country side school when the father is asked to coach their badminton team. The story follows the family and the badminton team.

By reading the synopsis, you may not think that there is anything particularly new, or innovative. Low class kid enters a badminton team and probably goes on to love and win in a heart felt sports drama right?

But the way the drama fleshes out each character introduced, the way the drama tells engaging stories that shines a light onto hidden emotions behind the rough exterior that the characters' have built up over time. It all just feels so... human.

And its all expertly done by a great balance between humour and emotion.

Don't get me wrong, its not perfect. It still has a few corny sports moments, but because they are so few and far between, and because it is not the focus of the show, I still find it a perfect example of how a drama like this should be executed. Every moment of the show just feels like it has purpose.

Give this one a try, you will not be disappointed.
