An Absorbing and Inspiring E-sports romance!
I thought I would give up on this drama after watching a couple of episodes but I am glad I prevailed because it turned out to be absorbing. The story between the leads take a while to develop and it was quite frustrating to watch the first 10 episodes when one misunderstanding and mishap happened one after another. The story is more than the romance; it is about aspirations, achieving one's dreams, perseverance and teamwork. My biggest gripe about the show is about the villains - there is no shortage of them and they are quite a cliche but I guess there would have been no story without them. Although the story developed slow, the last few episodes moved too quickly and the ending made me feel shortchanged. It would have been more complete if the leads had more time together at the end. There could also have been more intimate scenes between the leads. The portrayal of the e-sports competitions was very exciting and kept me at the edge of my seat. I loved the team camaraderie amongst the team members and it was so touching to see the team coming together to fight for the championships. Overall, I definitely recommend this show and although I thought that I wouldn't rewatch due to the slow pace and the many complex situations, I am rewatching now!
