Movie synopsis
弘光队的韩藉天才车手郑知元（崔始源饰）独当一面，新人王仇铭（彭于晏饰）与邱田（窦骁饰）同时被郑知元的惊人爆发力慑服，甘心当他的“破风手”,为他制造冲线机会。三人的完美配合，终战胜强敌幽灵队。然而，当郑以胜利者姿态领奖时，两人明白到王者只得一人，破风手始终只是破风手。 各人被胜败心魔所困，三人默契十足却同时被利益薰心，渐渐丧失团队精神，成绩一落千丈。其后三人各散东西，各自有着不同经历。
再重遇，到底能否划破逆风，创造奇迹，谁会是最终的王者？

Review
Seldom watch movies with sport theme so this is something refreshing to me. I like the way the sportsmanship is presented in the show. We are once again reminded that how stressful being a sport person can get, and some sad reality in life. Some sportsperson are willing to do anything in order to achieve championship, some sportsperson strive hard in order to preserve dignity, some sportsperson scarified their health in order to pursuit their passion…
Sports persons are still human, so how can the show not including their family and love life?
Quite a bit of the show covers the love triangle of Qiu Tian (Shawn Dou) and Qiu Ming (Eddie Peng) falling in love with Shiyao (Wang Luodan), presenting their love in different manner.
Personally think the story is trying to cover too many things at one go and end up there are a lot of loose end to be tied, but I am genuinely impressed by the cycling techniques, roles of different players within a team (I’m a sport idiot!), even Kirimi also got so exciting during the racing scene that she keep jumping in my tummy!
I would like to have the show elaborate more on Ji-won (Choi Si-won)’s background and how the cycling team manager and him developed the close friendship, but overall, I think the show maintain a balance of action, romance, and the hardship of sportsperson.
