Falling for My Coach

About this drama

The listing for this entry is the title alone: Falling for My Coach, twenty characters with no synopsis attached. The name is recorded verbatim, and everything below the listing line is inference, marked as such. Four words, and the participle carries them. Falling names the romance and its loss of control at once; the coach names both a profession and a power gap, the person who sets the training, measures the progress, and holds authority over the narrator's body and results. My keeps the first person, so the listing's only character is the one falling, and the title's whole question is what the coach does about it. The athlete, the sport, and the stakes are all unstated; the structure is the familiar one where the taboo is the profession rather than a marriage or a contract. Authority is the draw the title sells, and the training floor is where it lives. The run is thirty-nine episodes with 7,825 views, the highest count in this batch of twenty, leading the runner-up by 384. A four-word title with the batch's heaviest counter says the shape needs no explaining; the counter does the synopsis the listing refuses to write. The gap is thin, 384, but the lead is the lead.
