As we move forward to 2022, time passes in a truly lovely shot. Yong-Tae progresses from student to instructor, guiding a group of young people through the disciplines of badminton. Simultaneously, a worried guy arrives in the community to find out what's going on. Interviews begin as well, with all of the kids dressed in wonderfully outrageous clothes. The guys gradually dress appropriately and each says his or her piece.

The show is essentially a diamond in the rough; emphasis on the diamond, and emphasis on the rough, heh. It's rough around the edges, with one of those rough edges being a somewhat fragmented approach to storytelling, but the warmth and community feels it gives are so excellent, and so strong, that you're more than prepared to overlook its flaws.


The young ensemble truly shines in here, with the adult characters largely serving as sources of advice and encouragement. The young cast is sincere, competent, and all-around credible, not only as individuals but also as a group.
