Sweetness overhead?
Short review here. I know this drama has a lot of contreversy with some people because of lots of reasons, this review will not talk about it and my rating wasn't biased either. Anyway.A good drama with a very good complicity with actors. I've watched an other drama about E-Sport and didn't feel the same way about them. Not only the protagonists goes along quite well, the whole main team have a great chemistry together and I really liked that.
The other good thing about it was the gaming, we have gaming here! It was so refreshing, they work hard and it shows, they don't mostly hang out (even if they do too, but they're really focusing on the gaming aspect and I liked it, it's more realistic).
Honestly even if it's a romcom and that you "should" focus on the main couple, it wasn't what I was more interested with. They were able to talk about actuality stuffs going on everywhere but mostly in mainland China such as freedom of speech in social media (mostly) and how you should be careful about your words and your actions, because they all have consequences.
If my rating is not higher after a good short review about it is probably because I wasn't that focus of the main couple and also because I felt like Lu Sicheng was a bit too... compulsive for me. Either way, I was quite satisfied about the drama and I want to say thanks to Lao K et Lao Mao for being the best couple so far.

Xu kai, soso, , XU KAI.. DO I have to say more lol
As you figured out I am a huge fan of XU Kai. I have seen every drama/movie/TV show he has taken a part in as I'm watching both this and Ancient love poetry at the same time and then waiting on a 5 additional drama especially Zhao ge. This drama is about the professional world of E-sport gaming thats a dream to alot of gamers who constantly strive to better themselves especially Tong Yao aka "Smiling" who ranks high in the non professional leagues. She ask her boyfriend Jian yang to teach her how to play when they were dating so she could understand the sport and not be mad when he ignored her or just got frustrated all was good then one day he tells her he's leaving overseas for training and that they breakup. Well she continues to play out of spite and then it turns into a love for E-sports and she's really good at it. Then she gets a call and is interviewed for a professional team and then is offer the mid lander position for ZDGX who is the best of the best in a all male team,. She is reluctant too since she would replace Gun Ming who just announced his retirement after his last game due to his hand injury that doesn't allow him to play any longer and so that's why he retired. As she texts the manager that she accepts there offer to play her ex-bf Yang God suddenly appears thinking she came to see him at first after a year and tells her she shouldnt play in a male sport and if so she should join his team of course she tells him to get lost and the next time she see him ill be a handshake, he thinks she'll run back to him. Unfortunately he should have treated her better and called her and not break her heart and not calling once even when he returned. Then a public announcement is made that a female is joining the ZDGX team as a replacement for Gun ming the team is excited to meet Tong Yao "SMILING" except for Li cheng. She arrived with pancake her cat and Li cheng is afraid that hell eats his sons(fish) there a joke too it but don't want to spoil it all. She meets little fatty Xiao pang he so cute that you love him, then old cat and old K who are quite and BF the gun ming and Xiao rui manager. They have a match against her to see what she got and did well except has to learn to work as a team player and as she start to fit in and learns more about team members and how to play with them as one she is except as one. She goes thru happy, sad, angry, hurtful and so many more emotions by what the Fandom writes and calls her names because they jeousley of her relationship with Li cheng and that she flirting and shouldn't be next to him. As they play matches winnings and losing there fans either love/hate, but as smiling is playing great she has attracted the attention of other members trying to date her which is funny to see. As time goes on of course she and li cheng relationship has changed for the better as they are getting closer and he asked for her to give him a chance and to respond by 9pm now it's 8:58 and he show up and as he asks again when all of a sudden something moves(the cutest scene ever) and she responds....They continue to have matches and her BF is dating Ji ang the team next door her rival and so they help each in relationship and other matters.. The goal is to win the championship and advance to the world cup which they gave up there position do to gun ming injuries. Each go thru issue with there parents and families not agreeing this is a future sport, and they all proved them wrong. There so much more to this drama. Well worth the wait

THIS IS WORTH TO WATCH ?
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!THIS SERIES MADE ME FEEL SPARKS AGAIN! Every scenes are so unpredictable and I always get butterflies from the main leads. 💙 I am shocked that this series really has a lot of budget and didn't do it dirty. I am surprised on the buildings, bus, Cheng's luxury car and computers stuffs. The arena also looks so cool! I love it! I also like how the episodes aren't too long and boring, this series is so beautiful! The story plot, plot twist, everything is worth it! Not to mention that all of the cast (main leads, second leads, guests) are all attractive. I feel butterflies just by looking at them. I would say all of them are great actors/actresses, keep going! Goodluck into your life journeys! Btw, FNC Kun I am hoping to see you again on Season 2, you're so cute! 💙

THE RIGHT KIND OF HAPPY DRAMA
As a drama fan, 2021 was filled with a lot of intense and dark dramas. And contrary to that, this drama was like a breath of fresh air.STORY: The story is simple and sweet. ZDGX is an e-sport team and the leads are in the same team. They compete with other teams to win the national championship. Throughout this journey, they all experience wins, loss, happiness, heartbreak and many other feelings. This drama takes you to the e-sport world where their major goal is to win the main championship and to continue their career as a pro gamer.
ACTING: I found the FL a little stiff but considering that it is her first drama, I don't think that its a big issue. All casts have very great chemistry.
I would recommend this drama to anyone who is looking for a sweet, fluffy and light drama. There are no big misunderstandings between the leads , they never break up and there are no evil characters. They have a very healthy and mature relationship and the best thing is that their relation develops gradually. I've seen few people complaining that it is not fully an e-sports drama but I'd like to clarify that e-sports wasn't the only main focus of this drama. There are also other elements such as romance, friendship and comedy; and I think the drama has given justice to every element. The chemistry between the leads is like eye candy and you'll definitely enjoy it if you are a fan of light hearted, fluffy and sweet drama. So just give this drama a try and enjoy the sweet journey of e-sports, romance and friendship.
If you are interested in e-sports genre, then I'll suggest King's avatar, Love O2O, Go Go Squid and Cross fire.

Great friendship, great romance and no unnecessary drama.
I LOVED everything about this drama. The cast was perfect, and full of visuals and great acting, all the characters were amazing. This isn't a drama where you'd hate any character, in fact you'd love most of them and I loved that.This was a really sweet slow burn romance where the leads have chemistry from the very beginning. The best thing about this drama is definitely the friendship between all the teammates especially in team ZGDX.
Another thing that made this drama so good was that there was very little drama when it came to the leads. There wasn't really any family problems, no relationship problems and even though there is the ex that comes back, it didn't effect the relationship between the leads in any way. There is a love triangle (maybe 2, neither if which were real) but it doesn't effect the relationship between any of the characters. There was nothing and no one stopping the leads getting together and just about everyone shipped them together.
I also really liked the second lead couple. They were a bit unexpected and I didn't think they would last, seemed more like a fling. But, they were actually really cute and supportive of each other. I love it when the SFL and FL are genuine best friends.
I liked the FL's ex, he was a great character, I just didn't like him as her ex. I didn't get second lead syndrome in this drama, at all for him; I can't understand why people did. I can never, and will never, get second lead syndrome for a CHEATER. A man who treated the FL like an object and only wanted her back because she was better than him at e-sports and he thinks she moved on. He reminded me of the SML from Skip Beat!, only here he was actually a decent person, only a TERRIBLE boyfriend. Yes, he's good looking, but so was litterally EVERY other character in this drama.

Simples e encantador
Comecei a assistir falling into your smile sem pretensão nenhuma, mas fui pega pela história da tong yao no universo dos jogos.A protagonista é incrivelmente determinada, gostei dela acreditar em si mesma, ser forte e vulnerável em determinados momentos. O romance é tão leve e foi bem desenvolvido ao longo de quase 20 episódios, realmente podemos ver o amor nascendo lentamente entre a tong yao e lu si cheng. A equipe então...são todos maravilhosos, são companheiros, se importam um com o outro e se ajudam, além de se divertirem muito. No geral eu amei acompanhar o dorama, alguns comentários relacionados a um personagem em específicos me incomodaram um pouco e achei desnecessário. Fora isso e o ex chato da smiling, falling into your smile te prende do ínicio ao fim, nos deixando com um gostinho de quero mais.

THIS IS REALLY A MUST WATCH E-SPORT THEMED DRAMA!!!!
I SO LOVE THIS DRAMA!!! FROM THE CASTS, THE PLOT, THE PRODUCTION, EVERYTHING! THIS IS REALLY A MUST WATCH DRAMA AND I REALLY HOPE THERE WILL BE A SEASON 2.I have watched this drama for over 4 times already and i still can't get enough of them. Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao's chemistry is no joke!!! They will surely give you 100000% of sweetness that you'd feel that you want to pee on your pants. I'm not kidding. I literally rolled over my bed while watching the two of them. What i also love about the two is that their acting was really natural. Like they said in their interview before, this was their first team up together (HOPEFULLY NOT THE LAST) and they really just got to know each other better on set. And somehow that helped with their characters bc Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng did not know each other before as well. They started as strangers then friends who were always bickering with each other (seems like xk and cx irl tho HAHAHHA) before their love started to blossom. It came out naturally bc the leads also just got to know each other better on set.
OVER ALL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO WATCH THIS DRAMA!!!!

Full of Sweetness!
WARNING: LONG-ASS REVIEW. START FROM THE THIRD PARAGRAPH IF YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE READING EVERYTHING~The story follows our female lead, Tong Yao as a pro gamer known as Smiling, recruited by ZGDX to play professionally as the mid-laner. Her journey as professional e-sports player is not that easy, the stereotype "e-sports is only for male" is one of her biggest problems. Often underestimated and constantly faced criticism as the only female e-sports player in the industry, she worked hard to proves that the stereotype is wrong. The male lead is Lu Si Cheng, renowned team leader and exceptional marksman of ZGDX, also known as Chessman. Cold, rational, calm and charismatic are the words often used to describe his character. He will do anything to protect his teammates, and believe that he can fix everything alone. In people's eyes, he is perfect. But as the story goes on, you'll know that he isn't as perfect as people said.
Ok now is time for my opinions and reviews regarding this drama. Despite the controversies because of plagiarism and criticism from the e-sports community, me personally as c-dramas lover and enjoyer, think this drama is really worth to watch. This really broaden my perspective about e-sports. From each characters' story, we'll get to know that to became a pro e-sports player/athlete is not that easy. It's not just as simple as playing games all night and day but e-sports player must train to became an excellent player. So many amazing players out there and you need to be at the top. It's hard right?
Honestly, I love this drama. I found myself squealing and giggling thorough each episodes. The love story between TY and LSC is so sweet and cute. I describe LSC as tsundere. I think it's perfect word for him. He always appeared like he doesn't care about TY but in reality he's whipped. REALLY whipped if I must said (**that doesn't make him less charismatic as a leader tho >v<) He only shows warm side to TY. Meanwhile TY had certain opinions regarding e-sports men players bcs of past experiences... Aiya being LSC is too hard~~(≧▽≦) I feel giddy everytime watching they interact. They're just too cute!
The chemistry between teammates is amazing. NGL in the middle of the drama, I shipped Lao K with Lao Mao (**their bickering is very cute lmao) and Lu Yue with Xiao Pang. For the acting, it's my first time watching Xu Kai's drama and I must said that he potrayed the character Lu Si Cheng perfectly. As for Cheng Xiao, it's also my first time watching her drama. Overall her acting is amazing but I think she got to improve her expressions. Other actors are not bad at all but there was a time I feel awkward with their acting (**not everytime). The game scenes is very movie-like, OMG I love it! For the OSTs, the line-up is crazy. I love every single one of them, especially Everytime by my baby WayV~~ I also find myself keep humming the ending song by Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao. Oh, and I ABSOLUTELY love that each teams have their own respective songs! It's my quirk >v< The placement for each BGM/OST is fitting, eg it keeps me hyped when the BGM is playing during competitions.
The only thing I hate is the Korean dubbing. I'm sorry but it's so cringe and I always skip the scenes whenever they speak Korean...
~
All in all, I enjoyed this drama so much to the point that I feel empty when it end. In my opinions, the story of this drama is quite light; so it's suitable if you want to rewatch. This drama is recommended for girls, especially for teenagers like me. Ladies, this drama is for you! Beware of the sweetness that will ache your teeth! I guarantee that you'll want to order a boyfriend like Lu Si Cheng (~ ̄³ ̄)~
