The King's Avatar (2019)

Best esport drama ever

As a person, who love eSports drama and story. I read many noval, manhwa and watched many anime about eSports. And The kings avatar was my all time favorite eSports story. I watched animation and yesterday when i was bored and wanted to watch something new, i searched for something new. I usually don't watch drama's especially c drama.
And yeah, i watched love 020, falling into your smile too. I watched them because they are eSports based story. They have good story line and actors acted very well. But what Disappointed me was, they focus mainly on the Romantic relationship between the leads and sometime romance overshadowed the eSports content. And as a person qho enjoy eSports, it irritate me when romance overshadow the action. So i didn't have much expectations about the drama in the beginning. Especially, i already watched the anime. And only hoped that, they won't destroy the original content. But this drama was a a full surprise for me.

1.Story
Though, there are many changes they made compared to the actual story, it didn't disappoint me at all. They story content was excellent. I want to share more about story but i don't want to add spoilers here. You just haave to watch it. Don't miss this one,especially if you love eSports genre.
2.Character Setting
I should say, who ever choose the actors i have to bow to that person. They chose perfect person for perfect position. Even if it's Ye Xiu or is mo fan, they chose every character perfectly. Especially Yang Yang as Ye Xiu. It was a perfect choice. After watching him as Ye Xiu, i can't imagine anyone else in the position. If its hilariously ye xiu or clumsy ye xui or emotional Ye xui, he performed every part perfectly. Even when playing game, even without a single line he was able to make us feel every mood changes ye xiu had when he was battling. When he is anxious or proud or sad or happy, everything was written in his face. And he also become a clumsy and foolish person to an tough and reliable captain, everything was perfect. And also other characters such as Sun Xiang, Han Wen Qing, Xiao Shi Qin, Wei Chen, Wu Chen, Mo Fan,An Wen Yi, Luo Ji, Huang Shao Tian,Qiao Yi Fan, Bao Rong, Xing Su ,Mu Cheng and so on wa acted by the perfect people. I have to say Leo Liang was the perfect sun. He, in the beginning filled the heart of viewers with dislike, but in last episodes, he was the character i loved the most. Though there are many difference compared to real sun, i don't have any negative about Leo liang as Sun. I liked him more than the real sun i saw in anime. Many actors where choosen perfectly fitting there respective characters. Example every team members of Xing Xin.
3.Acting
From the previous comment you can identify, how the acting was. Though there were many error in the acting. But, i have to say those can be ignored when it come to their over all performance.
4.The GLORY.
In Glory we can see the most difference between kings avatar orginal version and the c drama version. Though they tried to imitate the orginal version. But it was entirely diffrent arena compared to orginal. There are many scenes, which i consider as important part, which unfortunately weren't in the c drama.and many good parts of glory weren't included n the drama. I won't say, it didn't disappointed me, but, the way they showed the glory in c drama was perfect for me. Using animation instead of real human unlike love 020, and using different style and look for different character even if they are using the sane profession unlike falling into your smile was a perfect choice. And made me like this morr. It gave a refresh feeling. And the action they showed through animation was perfect. I didn't felt the awkward feeling when human act as the game characters. Even though its realistic, but it always make me feel awkward especially when it come to action. But the way they showed the Glory characters in this anime was perfect, the combination of anime and reality.
4.Re-watch,
I usually skip many chapters or some scene if i felt like it is boring including The anime version of Kongs Avatar. But, when i watched this, i didn't skip a single chapter or single scene. The way they built team and how they slowly become best frds and best comrade and their skill and personal development as well as character development and the back story of every single member everything was worth watching. And i didn't skip those part which i usually skip when watching other drama. Even when they face adversities, i didn't skip those part and continue watching it till they become strong and comeback glory. K have to say, yang yang increased my chances of Re-watching the drama.
5.overall
Overall i loved the drama, and it made me write this long review even though i am a person who hate writing review. I usually write review in two situation, when i liked a story very mich or when i hate a story. Even when i like a story, i only wrote 1 paragraph review. From my long SA you can realise how much i liked this dram. And the only disappointment i have was, i watched to watch more battle. They cut many battle part in the c drama. It really made me sad. And the fact that there isn't a season 2 till now making me more sad. I hope, i get to watch King avatar season 2 of this c drama in near future.

WATCH THE ANIMATION

My review will be the shortest i've ever written, as i dropped this drama and still don't understand how it could get such a good rating. I started this title because of all the hype around it. It disappointed me in everything; Characters are all exaggerated, sense of humour that isn't funny, lack of acting .... etc, etc.
The ratings on MDL aren't fair and most of them are probably for Yang Yang only. The title got hyped because of the novel/animation and Yang Yang. If it was for another actor, i believe ratings will be less biased.
To me this drama isn't worth the hype nor your time. If you want to watch King's avatar story, watch the animation.

If you want to watch a c-drama about gamers and romance, i'd recommend you to watch Falling Into Your Smile - it is another caliber !

Heads down to the most amazing drama

I don't have words to describe this series..My emotions are still raw after watching it for 3rd time on repeat.
This is the best and way underrated series of Mainland China.
Story is nothing spectacular when you watch this drama..it is just related to an esport where a guy's journey is shown from a scratch after achieving the most glorious title of the game. Due to his old friend he has to start from zero again but what a spectacular journey it was.
It is not only a journey for him but all those newbies who chose him to be their leader.
This story is all about compassion, team leadership, empathy, strong mindset, respect towards each other, trust and choices.
Everybody made their choices and they worked hard to achieve the goal for the choice they made.
Not only story tells us about team building, but also it teaches us to respect each and every opponent and instead of using mockery when other looses the game, just make a way so that party who lost the game continue to soar their spirits and become better in next challenge.
This story is all about healthy competition and the challenges we have to face in every corner.

OST was the best. Each and every character whether virtual or real was justified and did a perfect job.

Overall I can rewatch this again and again and I will bever get tired of it. Applauses to all the actors, storywriter, director and other staff who managed to produce such an amazing series.

Not my CUp of tea

I wanted to watch something romantic and remembered how much I loved watching love O2O when I got introduced to a whole new world of dramas and started watching this. though the genre didn't mention romance I expected something mild however that wasn't the case.
Thought dramas are only about romance but didn't expect to encounter something without any romance. I would've considered continuing watching it but can't do it in my current mood.
It has a good theme and all but I personally don't like that gaming stuff. knowing that I won't get what I expected I can't continue it.
so I decided to drop it.

Still watching but I already like it

So here is what I can from my experience of 5 episodes - a story of friendship, betrayal, passion, beliefs, comradeship.
A strategic battle. A heart touching story. Of an expert who has been derived off but he refuses to give up. Of rebuilding dreams. Of restarting from start, that's what it's hard. But there is still more - ye qiu is still underground, still building his new teams, cultivating comradeship.

But the story isn't all about it - there is humour as well. I am really liking that little stupid, smelly boy part of ye qiu as the network manager of Guo Guo. I am liking support characters - like president of lanxi Pavillion, xiao tang etc

Well, the e-sport part isn't still completely understood yet. But let's hope for the best.
