Short Plot Summary
Daphne is a talented tennis player from an orphanage who gets a rare scholarship to an elite university. She has only one chance to win big and change her life.
Jackson is the school’s golden boy: rich, popular, and cruel. When Daphne beats him on the court, their rivalry turns personal. What starts as bullying and revenge slowly becomes attraction, then love — but secrets, bets, and jealousy threaten to destroy everything.
Main Characters
Daphne Fillmore
Daphne is strong, hardworking, and emotionally guarded. She comes from nothing, but she never gives up. Even when she is humiliated or attacked, she keeps fighting for her future. She is easy to root for, though sometimes she forgives too easily.
Actress – Marie Dewitt.
Jackson Hayworth
Jackson is talented, hot, and deeply flawed. He starts as a bully with a god complex. Over time, we see his pain, especially his toxic relationship with his mother. His growth is slow and messy, and that makes him frustrating but also realistic.
Actor – Cristian Lager.
Melissa
Melissa is the classic mean girl: rich, jealous, and cruel. She is not very deep as a character, but she works well as a villain who constantly pushes the story forward.
Kara
Kara is Daphne’s best friend and emotional support. She brings warmth, loyalty, and common sense into a very hostile environment.
Personal Opinion
Love Score is very addictive, but also very problematic at times. The bullying goes far, sometimes too far, and Jackson’s behavior crosses many lines before he starts to change.
That said, the emotional tension is strong, the pacing is fast, and the sports setting works well. Daphne’s struggle feels real, and her hunger for a better life gives the story weight. The romance is toxic at first, but the slow shift toward mutual respect is what keeps you watching.
Conclusion
If you like intense campus romance with enemies-to-lovers energy, Love Score will hook you quickly. It is not a soft or healthy love story at the beginning, but it delivers drama, passion, and emotional payoff.
This series is best for readers who enjoy messy characters, power struggles, and romance that hurts before it heals.
