I only watched this because I had also watched the South Korean Dream which is about a Korean team going to the homeless world cup. You would think it would be easy to write an inspiring story about this but both are a bit flat. Wheras Dream concentrated on building the team The Beautiful Game goes almost straight to the tournament so there is more football and not so much character development. It felt rather like a lot had ended up on the cutting room floor since it wasn't clear why the characters did what they did. Personally I would save this for a rainy day when you have got through everything you wanted to see (but better than Damsel but that is a whole other story). If you are wondering whether to watch the English or Korean version it probably depends whether you prefer Bill Nighy or IU but they have both been in better things.
