I started this drama with low expectations since I didn’t care for e sports, I was only watching since Luhan and wu lei were in it, however, I was blown away at how attached I got to this drama. All the characters were incredible and it was emotional to see how they all achieved their dreams and matured as individuals as well. Xiao bei encountered many obstacles on his path to becoming a professional e sports player but the journey he had was so emotional to watch, he grew so much as an individual and I was overjoyed when he achieved his dream after all the things blocking his path, wu lei played xiao bei SO WELL like seriously he nailed this role and I was very impressed with his acting, despite being so young he was able to encompass the turmoil xiao bei has went through in an emotional and thorough way so applause to him. Luhan also was incredible as xiao feng, the first e sports player to win the national championship the struggles they both went through were showcased beautifully and very realistically. While the drama was centred on e sports they also had a theme of sci fi, via xiao bei and xiao feng connecting across time (2008 and 2019) they went through so much together I seriously loved their brotherhood and how it was showcased. Xiao bei’s team and the other e sports players namely king were also amazing and I loved how the drama showcased the struggles of other players aside from the main characters to show more insight into the issue. There was also a mystery element included via the death of his brother which I really liked and I ADORED his brother when it showed his death I cried a lot. The romance in the show was slight but was still more than enough and I liked how they didn’t have the love interests as just there to be a love interest they had their own backstories and struggles. The music in this was very motivating, upbeat tunes of struggling to achieve ur dream like the drama’s message which I loved and saved since I loved the songs so much. Seriously after watching this I gained more insight into the world of esports and the struggles of the players which also gave me a better appreciation for the field and all those included. The drama really tried to push how dreams don’t have to be something you believe is possible, you can dream for what you want even if it seem’s unreachable and still achieve it and I loved this. I think I might rewatch this but not anytime soon but it’s definitely a drama you have to experience at least once I highly recommend this especially when ur in a down mood this will definitely lift ur spirits up with its showcase of how dreams can prevail no matter how impossible the circumstances. Like xiao feng said “you can achieve ur dreams by believing in the impossible” (kinda reversed can’t remember the exact line haha) but this drama will definitely stay with me as an amazing drama about youth and the perseverance of dreams :)
