Well-written youth drama with content and fluff (win-win)
Story:
-The story follows two esports players who aimed to win the championship. ML is a top veteran player, captain of zqdx, and handsome, rich, and perfect. The FL is a newbie into the esports professional world. She is pretty, talented, and liked by all (or at least most). She joins the team and this is their adventure to the top.
-The dialogues are witty and a testament to what a capable writer can do to a drama ( Ps: The dialogues follow the novel, I personally loved but are criticized for plagiarism).
-Again it's almost very loyal to the novel, so it had a solid base and as someone who loves books, this drama did justice to its source, very much so.
Characters:
-The entire world of this drama is relatively free of typical antagonists. The side characters were so much fun and made of a bunch of goofballs. Special mention to little fatty who was traumatized by the two leads PDA. His expressions are priceless. hahaha. Lu Yue (ML's brother) taking his phone out any second leads merely touch each other. Cat who is slow to understand the situation. Old not so old K who is a self-care guide. Xia Rui is basically their housekeeper.
- Character growth existed here, but it was not the focus of the drama and not very prominent.
-Also, I was confused between the names of FL's ex -Jian yang (aka Yang god), and FL's best friend- Jin yang. The side could Jin yang and Ai Jia were also cute. Can I say how much I loved the FL's friend. She was like the male version of Ml lol. 10/10 had a crush on her.
Acting:
Xu Kai did an amazing job of portraying the character. I love him, his past dramas Arsenal military academy is one of my faves.
The minute change in expressions, nuances, and oh god his eyes! so very expressive. I could keep on looking at his eyes go soft when looking at FL. FL suited the drama in terms of appearance, the height is adorable, but she is still leagues away in terms of acting. She looked very cute but yeah acting wasn't for the best.
-The animations were very good. I loved seeing them play through their game personas. The terms and positions of the game might be confusing at the beginning. I only understood clearly after playing two matches of the game on the phone.(Ps : Apparently the animations of the game shown in the drama is not a pc game but a mobile game)
Romance:
The romance between the leads was not exactly' hate to love', more like snarkiness to love. They end up arguing a lot.
And it would definitely make you smile. A lotttttt.Their relationship was always teased by other roommates, and they do their payback after leads get together. XD And yes not much annoying third-party interference. They have almost no conflicts.
Thoughts:
The main focus here is about the team going forward in the championship. Romance is drama free and weaved along the story. This drama is adorable with a memorable cast and an engaging story. Amidst the cliches of modern Chinese drams, this one is certainly a very well-wrote, packed, and all-rounded drama. I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting fluff with content or even just in a mood to watch a drama.
Rewatch value: 8
Even though I know what's gonna happen, the journey was all this drama is about. So rewatch value is quite high.
What are you waiting for? Go watch!
