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￣)~
