Velovevelove Jun 24 2021 8:51 am I'm hooked with this drama. It's about dream, hope, family, and friendship. When they support each other and u got ur friend back, it's so beautiful.

Always rooting for this drama! Fighting!!!

TaxiDriver Jun 24 2021 4:13 am I love it, I am crying at EP 2. With the City couple. it's like Prison Playbook x Move to Heaven. (Gu-ru is a grown-up now,he just lost his talent in cooking). I wish Samcheon can visit him hahahahahhaha ...

Reverseee Jun 23 2021 9:02 pm This is an underrated drama which had the best storyline, every actor/actress in this drama has their own characteristics... especially Yoon Hae Kang character, i really love Tangjunsang because of this drama!

Really enjoyed this drama and always looking forward for next ep!

You should give a try watch this drama!!! Every episode have a live lessons, funny story, and beautiful friendship.

Mehika Jun 23 2021 8:10 am As a badminton fan I really live5d this drama. Lee young Tae should really meet Lee Young Dae. I want Lee young dae guest appearance

Dhang Jun 22 2021 6:25 am I love this drama it is about friendship and determination. Cool, funny and very light drama. I love all the characters they are all good actors. ??

Diana Jun 21 2021 8:45 pm This is really good and always looking forward to next episode

ohsehunnie Jun 20 2021 9:26 pm I really enjoyed this drama. This drama about friendship, effort, and hope. I hope there is character development in coach Yoon wkwk.

Zzzz Jun 20 2021 6:58 am Love this drama

Ferra Jun 20 2021 4:14 am I like this drama so much. It really a great drama .

Suzie Jun 19 2021 4:13 am This drama is so funny and realistic. The strugle of become athlete

mayday Jun 18 2021 6:41 am Good drama so far.

Rion Jun 18 2021 6:15 am I am liking this drama so far, a very lighthearted show that depicts issues tackled by young athletes sprinkled with humor and romance. There are also stories about living humbly outside the city.

The cinematography and editing is top class and the cast has great chemistry with each other, especially the boys.

Teyling Jun 17 2021 10:39 pm Highly recommended drama! Even though it is not finish yet, I’m so hooked with it!

Diana Reyes Jun 16 2021 5:14 am Always loooking forward for next episode.

cheesecake Jun 16 2021 3:41 am Everyone's born beyond 2000 I feel so old XDD Anyway I am loving this drama. I love dramas about friendship and family, it hits home. In addition with youth, it makes me feel like going back to my long lost teenager years... Plus the writer is same as Prison Playbook, a drama that I looooved so much! Rooting for our Racket Boys.... Hwaiting!

M Jun 16 2021 1:58 am Just trying this out due to reviews but I am hooked with this. This is a good drama. I like the story. Sports, friendship, family and dream. All in one. All the main characters are almost new and creating their names to stardom. The OST is also great!!! The Boyz nailed it and it really matches the show.

Uli Jun 15 2021 11:14 pm Hahahaha I've just realized both Tang Joon-Sang and Lee Jae-In play as Ji Jin-Hee child. TJS in 'Move to Heaven' and LJI in 'Undercover'. Both are good actors, can't wait another project from them.

Coreen Jun 15 2021 10:17 pm I heard Startup OST in Episode 6

Reddy Jun 15 2021 5:13 pm I need more Yoondam and Hansol scenes. I think the series is too focused on Haekang and Seyoon as a side story and it's actually not working that much for me.

Nevertheless, I really love stories about brotherhood and family. So definitely worth watching, but I just want to see Yoondam and Hansol's characters to develop and not just as mere sidekicks and filler love story. :)

AL Jun 15 2021 12:48 pm Fun and heartwarming just as expected from the writer. A perfect drama for slice of life sucker like me. Tang Joon Sang will be a big name!

My least favorite character for now is Coach Yoon, well, I hope it’s part of his character’s arch. I just wanna scream “Get a grip!” to him. Lol.

moon Jun 15 2021 10:04 am one of my fav drama even tough still ongoing but writernim you disappoint me in episode 5 ?

Katie kim Jun 14 2021 5:22 pm This Drama Too Cute To Handle!! Remind you of your middle school / high school. The friendship, first love (in a verrryyyy cute waayy), competitive, ur innocent and family. When you watch this, your heart feel warm. I think this is the first drama that focus on badminton —which is one of my favorite sports. If you looking for a light and warm drama, i recommend you this one.

Han Jumi Jun 14 2021 7:00 am I love this drama. This spells diversity. Go go go Racket Boys!

Wenn Jun 13 2021 8:23 am this drama reminds me of my school days. Love all the actors and actresses here. Everyone got their own character, everyone is special. If you like something about friendship and family, then this drama is suit for you. Oh yeah, the soundtrack also really great!! Its really suits the drama. So far, this drama is sooo good and worth watching.

Rise and shine Jun 12 2021 9:09 am So far soooo goooooood Love this drama It's like a well done anime live action

Ben Jun 10 2021 6:24 pm Its really good watching Badminton as a theme... Goodjob for all the young player..

jo Jun 10 2021 2:59 am a nice show to watch but the coach (the ml’s dad) is so slack!! he shld be better & train the kids more professionally!! i cant stand his arrogant attitude here

Uli Jun 09 2021 5:03 am Finally light-hearted and slice of life drama. Each episode gets better and better. The casts potray the emotion so well, all of 'em. So goooooooooddd

I LOVE OH NA RA UNNIE Jun 08 2021 6:53 pm Every episode gets better and better! If you want something light, fresh and fun to watch, I highly recommend you to watch Racket Boys!

kalteume Jun 08 2021 6:04 am Weird to watch this after Law School.

AK Jun 08 2021 12:22 am Lee Manho has been reincarnated into a villager

pikachu Jun 07 2021 1:06 am a good drama to watch if you are sick and tired of heartbreaking/heart wrenching/dark/vengeful drama lately. not saying the other dramas competing in the same timeslot are not good, but "racket boys" is your go-to drama for some positive vibes and good laughs. perhaps, being a student (as shown in this drama) is still simple and carefree after all.

and i think Tang Joon Sang will be a potential youth star award winner (didnt realized he's only 18 years old!) or at least nominee in SBS drama awards this year.

YoondamJoonhwiwifey Jun 06 2021 9:57 pm Me watching this drama Lee Manho!!!! I knew it that you didn't die yet!!! And then photocopy ajjusshi why you right here??

Law School best drama Jun 04 2021 9:46 pm It's weird but also refreshing seeing lee manho and photocopy ahjussi from law school in this drama with completely different characters... I remembered I cursed Lee Manho throughout law school but suddenly seeing him here as a very generous village restaurant owner..

Balqis Jun 04 2021 12:31 pm Prison playbook's cast reunion

Hi Jun 03 2021 10:10 am Oh nara is here.. I've been watching her in sky castle and she shed away her iconic "jinjin" "naemari naemari" image here

rutoyah Jun 01 2021 6:08 pm this drama is soooo good hyun-wook is soooo handsome and he's rlly good, he was also in taxi driver. His acting was rlly good there(not the bullying ok). You got my support guyssss!

Betsy Jun 01 2021 9:34 am The ost reminds me of Start up's lol

Saranghae Jun 01 2021 9:01 am Like the work of the previous writer, I immediately liked the first episode, it was full of laughter, I couldn't stop smiling. Light, as usual, but there's a hidden meaning in it, I'll follow it every week.

Mark B Jun 01 2021 8:27 am This drama makes me subscribe again to Netflix. Those 4 boys are really promising, Choi Hyun wook is now getting on TV, despite being popular to most web dramas, of course Song SangYeon too his visual is so refreshing. Fighting Racket Babies!

Dee Jun 01 2021 7:24 am Just the first episode got me this hooked...hehehe this drama is really refreshing even it being a sport drama and badminton for that matter it makes badminton looks so fun...the characters are really funny too the first episode is really nice and interesting seems so promising Fighting!! Racket Sonyeondan!! P.s I only comment on dramas that are really worth it because I'm always lazy to comment here.
