A story of a boys' badminton team at a middle school in Haenam as they compete in a junior athletic competition. The 16 year old boys and girls in Haenam grow as people during this time.

DryedMangoez Sep 24 2021 2:48 pm One of my favorites of the year! A really hopeful and heartwarming series about family, friendships and community. Love the neighborhood family they form. You laugh, you cry, you cheer. Really a great show.

TheOne&OnlyYoonHaeKang Sep 14 2021 6:35 pm The relationshipssss in this drama. Really heartwarming. Especially when they get together with the whole village. What a nice community, can I live there Bahahahaha

FlexxxDog Sep 14 2021 6:32 pm Just finished watching Racket Boys and it was just a fun experience. Many laughs, tears and joy in each episode. The relationships between the characters from their families, their team and the village were so adorable. Like most of the characters had a development throughout and this was just overall a nice slice of life type of drama. I recommenddd. Really love the cameo’s by many hahahahahah. And ofc, the prison playbook characters, that was another great drama not surprised since it was written by the same person lol. The pacing went smoothly throughout the episodes except for ep 16 where it kind of felt rushed and I wanted it to be longer lol. Honestly just a whole ass good, positive vibe with some inspirational moments. No villains and really realistic. Watch ittt peepsss hahah

. Sep 14 2021 10:57 am okay but why is insol not under the badminton club? he's been done dirty enough in the drama. thank goodness, there was the ending or i would've flipped. aside from that, i enjoyed everythingggg!!! bawled my eyes out, laughed my heart out. i loved the prison playbook and hot stove league cameos and references too! looney's spin-off omg i cried inside thank u for that, writer!!

insol Sep 06 2021 12:47 pm Racket boys is one of my favorite healing kdrama. My favorite episode was ep 12 because it made me cry buckets. I have no hates in this drama. The only thing I will complain about it is the lack of screentime and script for Insol. I don't know if im being biased but I felt like he deserved more screentime. Its because I loved him in true beauty. Anyways, this drama didn't disappoint me because it was a very good drama. I am hoping for a season 2. Racket sonyeondan, fighting!!!

Rose Sep 03 2021 7:13 pm The best squad ever! Because of this, I like badminton now ❤ it's such an inspiring, funny and a masterpiece drama! Highly recommended! 1000/10

Rock Sep 01 2021 3:25 am This drama is so good. I'm not a the type of person to cry early but I don't know why I cried so much in this drama.

Leein Aug 31 2021 9:40 am am i the only one who feel this drama has modern farmer vibes? ?? so funny and worth watching!!

ABC Aug 31 2021 8:29 am I didn't know this was written by Prison Playbook's writer. I am in!

No wonder Park Hae Soo did a cameo for it. That's how I found out.

yihan91 Aug 30 2021 2:51 am am i the only one who think this drama has modern farmer vibes? ?? worth watching and funny hehe

Aiselayne Aug 28 2021 1:57 pm This was such a nice and refreshing drama! it reminds me of the sports anime I used to watch. I loved that it included storylines from the village, this is just an overall really good feel-good drama <3

Jakob Rhys Teh Aug 23 2021 10:26 pm They must at least put 2 seasons cause i love it so much i finish it in 4 days my fav person was Hae-Kang he was so good at all of the episodes he was insane and pls do season 2 and continue the series if can!!! :) <333

nara's baby Aug 22 2021 11:27 pm This is a masterpiece. Can't wait to see them on SBS Drama Awards this year.

Banananana Aug 22 2021 10:55 am Never Sleep On This Drama! If you're thinking about watching this drama right now, just watch!!!! No need to hesitate ^^ Every episode is soooo good especially the last episode <3 and tons of cameo too!!!

Seyeon Aug 20 2021 8:16 am There must be a season 2

Yael Aug 20 2021 7:55 am I was so bored already of all the romance karmas and the long drama that only about love and I found this actually through a small clip, so I said I’ll try it with no exceptions, This Became My Favorite Drama I Ever Seen, the friendship, the hard work, the small childish love story, the family bond and the sports, it’s the best combo and I really love the actors for the main line, they did such an amazing job and I really hope for a season 2 on this amazing drama, I didn’t skip a second just because I loved it so much, if you are considering to watch it or not, Go Right Now

Kmynss Aug 19 2021 8:24 am I'm so bored when i picked this drama to watch. And i wasn't expecting to be hooked and cry in every episode. I really admire the friendship of racket boys and also the neighborhood in the country side. Underrated kdramas are always the best!!??? Hoping to see the other racket boys more in the future??

Rozisvha Aug 18 2021 12:39 am Wonderful drama ❤️?? want season 2?

qmork Aug 17 2021 6:53 am I'm just starting the drama but why is the rating so low...

MintChocolate Aug 16 2021 2:30 pm It's funny to see 7 cast members of Prison Playbook which were included on this drama too. I sooo love them on Prison Playbook, and will cheer them on their upcoming projects! ❤

Racket Girl Aug 16 2021 7:57 am Really good show!!! Perfect for family watching. Im just so proud of my boysss! There were so many cheesy scenes that did not make me cringe (maybe because Im already expecting it lol) which is good. Im also happy with all the Prison Playbook cameos hahaha. Hope to see all of the kids in more movies/series.

D Aug 16 2021 6:19 am What A Wonderful Drama!!!! Im waiting for ur next drama writer-nimmm

Kogan Aug 15 2021 3:01 pm @MS. Taxidriver don't forget that he doesn't want to go back to prison because of not parking correctly. But that reunion scene between his and Dr Ko was brilliant

Kogan Aug 15 2021 2:58 pm I'm sorry but the cameos by the Prison Playbook characters where awesome and the whole show was just wholesome. I enjoyed it and the character development was not bad either.

Ms. TaxiDriver Aug 14 2021 11:40 pm Waaahhh! So happy with the Cameos from Prison Playbook!!

Lee Kyu Hyung. Hahahaha “Now, I’m finally free.” PrisonPlaybook!

Anderson Aug 14 2021 6:29 pm The development of everyone is amazing, especially Coach Yoon.

It was nice to see everyone's relationship change because of different situations. Every episode you'd realize some things which makes this a really good slice of life drama. No villains, only personal issues around you that these characters got through. Every episode's issue and lesson were really heartwarming and it really had an impact on me

Acting was also amazing, it was extra in some scenes, but appropriate. I also want to commend Tang Joon Sang for his amazing performance. Who would've thought that Yoon Haekang is played by the same actor who played Han Geuru in Move to Heaven. Yoon Haekang's subtle emotions were brought to life by TJS. The details were amazing and we'd easily see Haekang's thoughts, this was really evident whenever it's about his dad.

Pink Aug 13 2021 11:36 pm The only drama that is worth the wait nowadays. Saranghambnida! Racket boys❤

Ron Aug 12 2021 10:27 pm I watch a lot of korean drama. This is one of the best drama I hv ever watched. My kid also watched with me and now he wants to learn badminton. Kudos to all the actors. I watched 2 times in a row and can watch again. Just loved it.

Kiki Aug 12 2021 1:27 pm Racket boys is by far one of the best kdramas I’ve ever watched. It’s a perfect mix of sport, friendship, love and family. The humour and comedic timing was just perfect and the kids were absolutely brilliant in portraying their roles. Of course, the friendship between the boys was great to watch but I love how the drama also focused on the friendship between the two girls, Han Se Yoon and Lee Han Sol. Dramas usually focus on bromance a lot of the time and it’s not often you see strong female friendships.

Overall, this was a solid drama with stellar performances from the whole cast. The coaches, villagers and all the other characters also brought so much to the storyline. I literally binged watch this all in a few days as I couldn’t get enough of it. If you haven’t seen this drama yet... you need to start it right now!!!

Jmeeey Aug 10 2021 10:48 pm Season 2 please ?

maic Aug 10 2021 9:58 pm i really laughed on 46:06 ep 16 the reenconter of Go baksa and hanyang haha (prison playbook)

Sara Aug 10 2021 7:41 pm heartwarming and touching drama.

GreatWD Aug 10 2021 6:38 pm Wow this a great Drama and story about Sports and youth growing up. I am a Sport Psychology Consultant and Badminton athlete in California. Enjoyed your show and all the actors performances.

Fighting!!!

Fadsd Aug 10 2021 7:54 am It was fun seeing a reference from prison playbook at the last episode ? i was like whaat then i found out its the same writer. I really loved watching racket boys it was so fun heartwarming and funny. Very recommended

Tey Aug 10 2021 7:47 am This is the best y’all. Watch this and I guarantee you, you won’t be disappointed. I just finish it and I hope that there will be a season 2 with the same cast but I highly doubt that. Anyways, it’s the best sports drama for me!!

dongdong Aug 10 2021 5:34 am its so sad that the drama has ended..huhuhu but also happy to see many prision playbook cast make a cameo? thank you for all the cast for the hardworking..totally a healing drama and light drama to watch ☺️ even yuri snsd make surprise cameo

aryan Aug 10 2021 5:02 am deserved so much more ratings :(

Season2 demander Aug 10 2021 3:10 am I demand for season 2. Thank you so much for all the team and cast. This drama brought happiness thru this middle pandemic. Its really touching drama. Its full of joy and love. Prison playbook and this racket boys always teach us how are friendship and trust. Its sad it came to the end already. Definitely need another drama like this. Its a perfect healer for me! Thank you so much and good job!

Taetae Aug 09 2021 9:24 pm I rarely right reviews unless if it is a masterpiece. This is one of the rare classic funny n very refreshing drama I've ever seen till now. This is after watching all 16 eps. It is s complete combo of comedy (100% ?), friendship, passion, family, love, romance, caring neighborhood. This drama gives me vibe of reply 1988. Almost every episodes made me laugh like crazy n when they say RACKET.. SoÑYonGdaåN ? also there are very touching scenes which made me cry n moved. I'm definitely gonna rewatch this again lol. It's nothing to with reviews coz I watched with empty mind n I don't regret it. It's beyond my expectations and teen fun therapy. You can give it a try without any hesitation n I bet it won't let you down. I can say that this is the best drama of 2021 after Vincenzo!

Angel Aug 09 2021 6:07 pm I'm sad now that Racket Boys has come to an end. It provided me a much-needed weekly dose of good vibe for the past few months now. I wish it didn't end...and I sincerely hope there's a season 2. All the actors did great and I esp loved all the kids. They perfectly portrayed the joys of friendship, the innocence and excitement of first love, and the physicality of being athletes. The badminton scenes were great, you'd think they're real games played by real players. In true Jung Bo Hoon fashion, you'll be crying one moment and laughing your ass off the next. What a gem of a drama!

Kisselleen Paulino Aug 09 2021 2:25 pm Many Actors from Prison Playbook will surprise you! And Looney's ending is here!!!! If want to go straight to his cameo just go to episode 16 around on 40 minutes mark. You're Welcome!!!!

Racket boys fans Aug 09 2021 12:01 pm Good drama! Hope there will be season 2!

Renwa Aug 09 2021 11:35 am Loved this drama! It’s a super feel good fun story for anyone at any age. It is a coming of age story no matter what your age. Hope, change, character development are possible at any age with family & friendships to support you. The concept of “family” is thankfully broadly defined & understood here. The screenwriter is artfully inclusive of any subject matter…there are no taboos…nor divides between urban vs country living. This is an ensemble group of really fine actors who we will enjoy in many other dramas in years to come. Terrific pace of the episodes. This is yet another drama I will watch over & over. The lower ratings are an anomaly at the moment…the public will catch up with this quality production!

Olivia Alajemba Aug 09 2021 11:21 am Every episode was a blast for me…

pikachu Aug 09 2021 11:10 am nice ending though i dont like how they rush things in the middle of the last episode. if Yuri and Kang Seungyoon are not gonna to play badminton for real at the drama, at least show quick snippets of how their opponents win/lose to them. You can always have doubles to act as Im Seohyun and Kang Taeseon ?.

despite of this, so sad that this drama has end im gonna miss them~~

Belle Aug 09 2021 10:25 am This drama is so healing, I hope there’s a second season because people need drama like this in this situation, nowadays many dramas are too dark and heavy to follow, we meed more like this and I love all cast in this drama!

Sya Aug 09 2021 2:31 am Is there season 2 because I love this drama so much

Fairuz Aug 03 2021 10:03 pm I like how these actor are actual teens playing teenagers

Veronica Aug 02 2021 9:42 am the delay was dued to olympics ugh (it’s written in Notes)

aresinuae Aug 02 2021 8:43 am The scheduling for the final 4 episode is just so frustrating. I dont even know why they decided to suddenly air 1 episode weekly and now the previously advertised finale to be aired today is suddenly to be aired next week. This kind of airing deminishes the interest in the show and shows nonrespect for fans

drey Aug 02 2021 12:06 am I thought the Ep 16 will be released today, Aug 2, 2021. Any idea why it was move on the 9th?

Lilius Udtohan Jul 31 2021 12:38 pm Please release Season 2. I really love the story. great to promote the sport...

Ross Almeda Jul 28 2021 10:42 pm I love this drama series, I'm hoping that this will have season 2. Worth watching

Teng B Jul 27 2021 2:09 pm Aw, why is the final episode has to be next week? It used to be aired Monday-Tuesday, was it Netflix? I'm itching to finish it, love it.

Dreams - Hot stove league best drama 2020 Jul 27 2021 7:02 am lee yongdae seonsu next job after his retirement should be accting, he is handsome and i love his appearance this week

Melody Jul 27 2021 12:08 am @sla same writer of prison playbook that's why there's a lot of cameo from the prison playbook cast

Belle Jul 26 2021 8:00 pm Episode 15 is really great, I hope episode 16 will be too. I can't let this drama go, I will miss this drama so much!

Wenn Jul 26 2021 7:52 pm Wah Lee Young Dae as a cameo in ep 15!

This drama comforts me and reminds me the time where I can still play sport which is before the Covid-19 outbreak. I hope I can still continue playing my fav sport like haekang did :’)

fifi Jul 20 2021 12:00 pm i love this drama so much!<3

Kira Jul 19 2021 11:43 am This drama is such a fresh air for me, if you had enough with serious or love stories. I suggest watching this, its light to watch. Yes some part are not as exciting but overall its entertaining and deserve a recognition. At the begining it feels like im watching capt tsusaba or slamdunk, but unfortunately the main focus on this drma is not the sport. But i dont mind because the story is interestung and the characters are lovable. Thats why i think this drama is a great potential to be a comic or anime. Imagine reading or watching the whole match of badminton, i definately will purcahse the comic for sure. I really hope they will make season 2 and more focus on the badminton storyline. Overall i think its a good drama, and i just hope a lots of drama have this light and motivating story like this.

itsyouuy Jul 19 2021 10:21 am Although the ratings here are very low due to that certain scene in episode 5, but this is a really good sports drama. And I like the countryside setting as well, likeable characters and so on!

bbang Jul 14 2021 7:50 am such a great drama i hope they have another seasons!! son sangyeon ilysm!

Ariff Jul 13 2021 10:14 am Good kdrama. Hoping they have season 2 or more

anyyyone Jul 13 2021 8:12 am For those who like lighthearted drama this is for you. It's about friendship brotherhood, family. To be honest I do not have a high expectation with this drama but wow it is actually good. The story is so good. Try watching it and you will love it so much.

Mestudent Jul 12 2021 9:00 pm I love the story and the casts, hope it has more than 16 episodes

Irene Jul 12 2021 7:57 pm I LOVE this kdrama so much, literally my comfort show! Highly Recommended <333

TaxiDriver Jul 11 2021 10:46 am Waaahhh!!!! Prison Playbook mini-reunion!!!!!

Park Ho-san (KAIST) - EP1, Ahn Sang-Woo (the prison governor) - Mr.No (here at Racket Boys), Park Hae-soo (Je-Hyeok) - EP6, Kim Sung-Cheol (Jailbird/Beobja) - EP6, and Kang Seung-yoon (Janbaljang) EP12

Thank you MR. Director!! More Prison Playbook cast cameo!!

Belle Jul 11 2021 4:59 am @Tish we can say the TV viewership's rating is high for this kind mini-series drama, but the user's rating (AsianWiki and other sites) are because of controversy they made in episode 5 that made other country's people mad and keep commenting on SBS' instagram with bad words and gave low rating on every site that has rating system

Lucy Jul 11 2021 3:56 am @Tish, the low rating stems from internet users flooding the sites after episode 5 aired that have Racket Boys, the director, and writer posted (AsianWiki being just one site). Said country's netizens voiced their opinion of disapproval by voting in large numbers to lower the scores on all the sites.

Tish Jul 10 2021 4:36 am I really don't understand the low rating. It is well acted, well written and cute! I find it much easier to watch then Doom for example that just ended that has lots of actors I love but went around in the same circle for 16 episodes!

Adriana Sofia Jul 09 2021 1:49 am This drama is definitely the best drama ever, even most cast is not popular actor or actress, their acting really amazing. This drama really show a good friendship, heartwarming relationship between friends, parents and also neighbourhood. We definitely can do all the things that impossible to do if we never give up and always believe in ourself. I believe if we want to win, wo do not have to fight with others, what important is we must fight with ourself. Believe in our ability to do well

Bob Jul 08 2021 2:16 pm After 11 episodes of fun, sweetness, friendship, sportsmanship, determination...swear I didn't expect the tsunami of emotions in episode 12. Probably the best episode so far. Great writing brought to life by the amazing cast.

Amanda Jul 08 2021 12:14 am I think this show deserves more hype than it should to be honest. It just goes to show you don't need a famous cast to carry your show. Everything about this show is just good from the writing to the casting. They make you feel belonged and just so heartwarming

M Jul 07 2021 1:57 am Its very heartwarming. I love the story on how they encourage each other. This is what love means, Hae-in. Remember when she's asking what is love? I think this is what the writer is telling us. I am really enjoying this.

AK Jul 06 2021 8:44 pm this drama cast ensembles some of top dramas like prison playbook (of course, the same writer), sky castle, law school and true beauty

sya Jul 06 2021 11:58 am I Didn't Expect Kang Seung-Yoon ? ohh please this gonna be more exciting!!! i can't wait for the next episode!!! my heart almost explode when i saw seungyooni

anyways today's episode really made me ugly crying. and im glad that evil coach got caught up!

Tina Jul 06 2021 11:17 am and Kang Seungyoon finally here as legendary kang taeseon!!

Belle Jul 06 2021 10:29 am Episode 12 is really a tearjerker, every scene in this episode brings emotion and I can’t hold my tears

Wendy Jul 05 2021 11:42 pm Great job, writer-nim. Just adding to other comments, I like how the writer include mental health and disability awareness in such a subtle way. You can learn to be more patient when waiting someone who are mute (or s finish writing. You can also learn to be more careful on what you said to others, because your words can trigger someone's depression state, or make them wanna stop living. Can't wait to watch the remaining episodes!

Wendy Jul 05 2021 11:26 pm The writer is the same person who wrote Prison Playbook. No wonder :) I really enjoy this drama.

Prison Playbook and Sky Castle Reunion Jul 05 2021 11:12 pm there are so many cameos of actors from Prison Playbook, bet there’s gonna be a season two now from all this teasing.

Tell me if there is more but Haekang’s mom is one of the main moms in Sky Castle and Hansol is one of the main children there too, her sis is the antagonist, and she’s so tall for a 2006 kiddo what do they feed kids these days :0

eli Jul 04 2021 5:45 am im so attached to this drama i cant wait for the next episode >< this drama is so wholesome and all the actors are so great at acting. this is light but the storyline is really beautiful i love how it shows a perfect balance of sports, friendship, love and family i really recommend this drama 100000/10

Yuri Jul 02 2021 7:34 am Such a wonderful kdrama! Congratulations!!!!

Lalassi Jul 01 2021 8:39 pm I love this drama. The actors are good. I keep looking forward for the release of each episode on netflix. I'm somewhere on ep 9, i just hope for no cringiness cause they all look so baby on my eyes

Uli Jul 01 2021 8:15 am love all the guest actors

Ru Jul 01 2021 12:04 am This kdrama is so heart warming. It's about friendship, youth and family. I must say this has the same level of comfort/warm as Kim Bok Joo. If you're tired watching Melodrama, or romance that has predictable twists, you should give this a try. It's like you're home and back to when you're a teen while watching this. I really like this kdrama, this is what I look forward every week. For me I wil rate it as 10/10

ufuf Jun 30 2021 6:45 am Damn now i hate Ms. Shin... her words hurt others feeling. I'm affraid that the painter woman will suicide in ep 11. i hope that wouldnt happen

Oppa Jun 29 2021 9:07 pm I love this drama. I just dont like the coach. Hae kang’s dad. He is reaaaaaaallyyyyyy annoying!

geuru Jun 28 2021 6:45 am I love this drama so much, it gives me so much comfort. I love how the main lead Haekang is so well written. TangJoonSang really is a good actor, giving justice to this multi dimensional character.

Marcela Rivera Jun 27 2021 9:30 pm Great Drama 10/10! Will make you laugh but same time cry :)

Han Tae Hee Jun 27 2021 7:07 am Woo Soohwan eomoni & Kang Yebin (SKY Castle) are paired up again.

Bob Jun 26 2021 2:56 am I cannot take it...the beautiful mural omg.

Bob Jun 26 2021 1:53 am Just watching episode 4 and loving the progressive storyline on growing up for both kids and adults alike. Also the bonding between friends and families...and neighbors.

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.

Rock Jun 01 2021 5:41 am Can't wait for the next episode ♥️ hope this drama will not get bored the middle. ❤️

ydyai Jun 01 2021 3:21 am refreshing to watch! i come to this page cause wanna know the writr and director. the story reminds me of prison playbok so yeah we got the same writer. cant wait fr next episode ❤️

Grace May 19 2021 11:05 pm tbh, I am not into school life drama anymore. but, this one!! I should watch it! :D and I am familiar with many characters here, usually we just see them as young roles or just supporting character, I love how the kids are the center of the story! :D Tang Jung Sang (Move to Heaven), Kim Kang Hoon (Mouse), Lee Ji Woon (The Uncanny Counter), Kim Min Ki (Jukyung bro in True Beauty), Choi Hyun Wook (the bully boy in Taxi driver), Lee Jain (on screen kids of Ji Jin Hee just like Tang Jung Sang XD )

Anddddddddd! WooHyeon ahjussi!! Currently in Law School take care of the kids, He also here , again, take care of the kids. Hahahha

Uri Yechan May 02 2021 12:39 am Omg can’t wait to see Choi Hyun Wook!!! He’s so talented, cute, tall, handsome!! I still can’t move on with his character in Taxi driver and real time love??

luv_badminton Apr 24 2021 8:17 am what??? badminton kdramaaaa???? can't waittt

Jaz Feb 25 2021 6:09 pm Sbs has a successful sports drama last year, Hot stove league. So I think this may be also good. Looking forward to this.
