Very good series

This series is about 2 people falling in love, and has little to do with esports.

The main characters are all very interesting. This is a very character driven show, with many interesting character moments. Which had me laughing out loud many times.

The ML and FL did a great job together.

The ML only had winning the championship on his mind, and that was it. He had no interest with women.

The FL falls in love with him at first sight.

Honestly, I watched the first episode, and didn't like it. I didn't like the ML. He's very antisocial, and wasn't really a fan of the FL lead either, because she seemed so young, and she was a bit cringe.

The ML looks much older than the FL, and in the series, they are supposedly 10 years apart from each other, but in real life, she's like 26, and he's 27, only 1 year apart. The FL really does a great job at looking, and acting young.

The FL apparently is highly intelligent, and is working on her Phd. in A. I. You would think that her skills in this, and the few programs she makes would be important, but they aren't, and if you blink, you'll miss them. Nothing at all comes from them.

The FL isn't part of the esport team. She is just the love interest of the ML.

I took a break from the show after the first episode, that's how much I didn't like it, and watched something else, then I came back to it, and watch episode 2, which completely sold me on the series, it was good.

The relationship between the ML and FL is basically the whole point of the series, and it's done very well. Everything was done well, and didn't really feel the need to skip anything.

The one issue I found fault with is the reason the ML had a fight with his team captain, and retired. I figured the captain cheated to win or something, because of how the ML reacted, and maybe he did, and they changed the reason later, I don't know. Though the ML is/was very antisocial, and I guess that might explain his overreaction. Not sure why the captain couldn't have had his family watch his kid, instead of retiring to take care of it. So, for me, this part of the story is a bit weak, but it's also not overly important to the show, because the esports in the series, and like background noise, for the building of the relationship between the ML and FL. So this negative, really doesn't matter to me.

There is some good music in this show as well.

And the show does end with a happy ending!

This a very good show, the 2 main characters do a great job falling in love. Sort of like Beauty and the Beast.

Episode 2 is where the show really starts to get interesting, episode 1 doesn't really do much. I'll have to watch episode 1 again to see if I like it better, now that I like the characters. :)

They build a pretty good world in this series, and it's a shame that it has to end. Oh, and the episodes went so fast. I kept coming to the end of a episode and saying, it's over already! :)
