Going into this drama, I really had no expectations at all, although I had watched Falling into your smile previously and had heard that the two dramas are pretty similar I didn't know what to expect going into this drama but all I can say is that it did not disappoint.

I absolutely admired the lead couple together and individually, they both had such strong personalities but even when they were together they did not overshadow each other. I loved the fact that Qiu Ying (played by Wang Zixuan) wasn't afraid to pursue her dream, when she first started she knew nothing about the e-sports industry but as she learned more about it, she found her true calling in being a commentator for e-sports. I loved the fact that she fought for her dream, even though she was shot down and had to face unfair circumstances she fought for her dream and that's what mattered. I also absolutely adored Ji Xiangkong (played by Wang Yibo) for his selflessness, he always put his team before himself even if he didn't know them as well (VNG). He stole my heart when he sold his motorcycle to get Lin Yixuan in the team . His passion for the game and his passion to win was awesome to watch that though he faced so many setbacks he never gave up and he just rose stronger to pursue his dream. Though I was a little confused on what the heck was going on with the whole Mi Ya thing but let's not get into that right now.

I find it so adorable that the main couple not only do they grow together as a couple, but also individually in their own careers and they support each throughout. I loved how they made that promise of rising to the top of the world together and they were able to accomplish that, that one scene of them hugging at the "top of the world" somehow that made it all worth it.

I LOVED all the side characters, I didn't skip any scenes with the side characters but my favourite definitely have to be Lin Yixuan and Pei Xi. Lin Yixuan every time he was on the screen you were guaranteed a laugh however he was also more then just a comic relief, his loyalty towards JXK even after he left the team was commendable he was ready to fight with the world for JXK and that honestly melted me. I loved seeing his friendship with JXK and his relationship with Lu Yi Yi was equally adorable. Pei Xi was a character that I felt had a lot of depth, he had a lot of layers which at the first glance you might not be able to see. When we first see him we perceive him to be arrogant because of him lacking teamwork and wanting to play solo. But that is not the case sometimes you just have to dig deeper in order to find the real cause and same was the case with PX. I was actually really happy that he wasn't the typical second lead who falls in love with the fl and gets heartbroken. He instead was busy fanboying over the male lead and their duo was so much fun to watch. PX was willing to join phenix even if It was just as training partner, he just wanted to be around JXK and learn from him similarly JXK knew what PX need to get out of his shell and learn teamwork and I think their duo worked fabulously.

Also can we just take a moment to appreciate the entire pioneer's team, I genuinely found their friendship so cute and I love how they would just come on stage after every game to celebrate it felt like they were all one big family and that made my heart all fuzzy! Another thing that was done very nicely was the "villains" of the story, there wasn't one specific villain who was plotting and planning just against our leads. There were multiple people who became obstacles in the path of the lead characters and that made it more realistic and easy to believe. And I don't think the so called villains were truly evil it's more about what kind of choices you make. The acting honestly wasn't too bad could have been better but it wasn't like terrible that you can't watch it.

If you are someone like me who enjoys those heartwarming moments where everyone comes together to fight against a common enemy and you see them sort of become a family. This show is full of those moments specially in the last stretch, as someone who absolutely loves those moments I would definitely recommend watching this show even just for those little moments!

Overall, I really did enjoy the show specially the last stretch of the show and my favourite part that I will definitely be rewatching in the future :)
