Fun, Easy-Going, and Purely Entertaining

I started watching this drama with zero expectations as I'm not really a game fan, but the series turned out to be great with fluffy and cute romance, realistic plot, well-written dialogues. and interesting relationships between all the characters. The staff is stellar - I don't think I've seen so many attractive actors in one cdrama, and everyone plays great.

?♡?Romance?♡?
This is one of the fluffiest romance stories I've seen, but it's a slow-burner, so don't expect too much spiciness in the beginning, although, Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao do get in a variety of embarrassing situations that bring them closer together - so it's always entertaining to watch. I found myself giggling all the time, especially when their teammates witnessed something improper and were getting suspicious about the couple (poor Fatty was always witnessing something spicy and couldn't deal with it, it was too funny). Also, Lu Sicheng's character changes greatly as he falls in love - all his guards go down as he opens up to ML and then turns into the clingiest and sweetest boyfriend you'll ever see (but in a very endearing way). He really is 'Prince Charming' of e-sports, and proves to be a real gentleman (also, very hungry for kisses and touchy-touching). Xu Kai's performance is great here, I also think Cheng Xia fits the role perfectly. You will definitely love the amount of kissing this cdrama has, it does not disappoint in this regard.

?♡?Plot?♡?
I didn't know anything about e-sports, so I was learning along the way, watching the series just for entertainment. The producers did a really good job with animated pieces that look very cool and action-packed. Sometimes it was hard to follow who plays which character in the game, but it was exciting nonetheless. The cdrama focuses on the ups and downs of being an e-sports idol, having to deal with fans, rumors, and almost no personal life at all. And if you do get to have one, it will soon become a public matter discussed by everyone on the Internet. There are many issues discussed in the cdrama, so it has lots of quite serious undertones, which I personally loved. So it's not just another shallow romcom, this one has some pretty deep messages to convey.

?♡?Characters?♡?
I literally loved all of them - maybe they were written in a bit too perfect way, even the ex-boyfriend of FL is too sweet to be true, but I like to think that people like this exist and we all are human enough to be kind to each other even after the relationship is over. ML's character is very mature and he takes responsibility for almost everything as a leader (which does become a burden that is too heavy for only one man to carry, that issue is also discussed in the series). ML's best friend Jinyang is one of the coolest female characters ever - she's supportive, but always speaks the truth. She's straightforward and has a very strong character, it's impossible not to love her. I have to say all the characters were very interesting and the actors fully delivered while playing them.

?♡?Conclusion?♡?
It's a 10/10 for me, this cdrama just hit all the right spots with the great staff, amazing characters, engaging plot, and yummy romance. Definitely recommend!
