More propaganda than romance

it reminds me of the old 80s kids show with a lesson everyday,
It starts pretty small (buying scalped tickets is bad) then it progresses until by ep 10 I felt like it was paid for by the Chinese government.
and so far it’s mostly about the competition not about the romance/OTP.
I watch dramas because I want to see the couple.
And English lines like “beautiful downtown Norway” didn’t help
All that being said.
If you like stories with a heavy emphasis on friendship, you’ll probably like this.
Of if you like stuff about computers/ gaming/cyber security.
The actors are good

Il flashback all'ennesima potenza

È un drama che, come spesso accade, promette più di quello che poi riesca a mantenere. La partenza è abbastanza scoppiettante, è piacevole cominciare a conoscere i personaggi, e il fatto che i personaggi principali maschili siano così attraenti aiuta sicuramente. Purtroppo un uso svergognatamente smodato del flashback provoca moti di irritazione praticamente in ogni episodio. Il flashback può servire per chiarificare un evento del passato, ma quando ce ne sono diversi di durata anche di 10 minuti e oltre, che tengono ferma l'azione, risultano pesantemente molesti.
Assistiamo poi a una sequela di situazioni chiaramente inventate per allungare il brodo, cosa che si aggiunge ai numerosi flashback di eventi anche accaduti poco tempo prima. 41 episodi sono troppi per questo tipo di racconto, che a mio parere si sarebbe sviluppato benissimo anche solo in 30 o 32 episodi.
Tutto il drama, a parte la sezione romantica, si incentra su questi campionati di giocatori su PC che in teoria dovrebbero operare una specie di finti attacchi ai sistemi di sicurezza dei computer degli altri. Sicuramente come funziona questo tipo di gioco non viene spiegato bene e, a un certo punto, smettono completamente di farci vedere le sfide per passare direttamente dal nervosismo pre partita alla delusione o alla gioia della Vittoria.
Ho avuto l'impressione che tutta la serie fosse in realtà una grande opera di propaganda politica e sociale. Intendiamoci, dopo aver visto certe opere americane abbiamo ben poco di cui lamentarci.
Ad ogni modo, si arriva agevolmente alla fine pur con diversi moti di fastidio e un po' di irritazione, facendo ampio uso del fast forward.
Le musiche e le canzoni sono abbastanza gradevoli ma, essendo la serie così lunga, alla fine diventano ovviamente ripetitive.
Io sono donna per cui, purché non sia troppo irritante, in certi tipi di drama do meno rilevanza alla protagonista femminile, della quale continuo ancora a chiedermi perché l'abbiano vestita così male e costretta a corricchiare qua e là con andatura da papera impazzita.
Ovviamente, tutta la mia ammirazione va per il protagonista, ottimo attore e splendido esemplare di bellezza maschile. L'imbronciato che si scioglie è decisamente il mio tipo preferito. Anche il suo cuginetto che poi diventerà protagonista della seconda serie non manca di attrattiva. Anche gli altri attori di contorno fanno un ottimo lavoro, molto ben riuscito il nonno. Purtroppo buona parte delle ragazze sono caratterizzate in maniera molto infantile e poco attraente: dovrebbero essere sulla ventina ma si comportano come se andassero alle medie. Comprendo che è un vezzo del luogo.
Diciamo che se il protagonista maschile fosse stato un pelino meno attraente probabilmente ai miei occhi questa serie avrebbe perso un altro mezzo punto.
Non so se guarderò la seconda serie, considerato che il protagonista maschile non sarà più lo stesso, pur avendo anche egli notevoli attrattive. Soprattutto quello che mi frena è l'eccessiva verbosità e lungaggine. Ci penserò.

I ...kinda hated it

I really dislike the main dude, his actions and motivations are really gross to me. Like he's mad at his friend because his friend chose his child over competition?

Also, one who is thirty (or even above 20) should * NOT be dating someone who is 18/19. They are kids and should not be seen in any sort of romantic way - the relationship just gave me the creeps not to mention how he always calls her child. The way her entire life revolves around him is really off putting too, like we constantly see her doing all this stuff for him and his job - where is he for her? It's been awhile since ive seen it - but i remember him never

I dropped it in the long run since it made me far too uncomfortable.

Sorry, I had to drop this!

This drama is not for me. I couldn't go past Episode 3. My reasons for dropping:
1. The female lead is a college student that acts like an 8-year old. Her attempt at trying to be cutesy is so annoying!
2. The backstory is too unreasonable. He held that grudge and anger for 10 years for a stupid reason. The male lead is so narrow-minded and selfish. Also, he only has one facial expression, an angry face.
3. The female lead is a stalker. I don't think it's a good idea, stalking is a serious matter and it shouldn't be romanticized like this. So creepy!

How can you watch something that both ML and FL are very dislikeable?

The only saving grace of this series is team KK, the boys are all adorable but not enough for me to continue watching this.

I haven't watched the whole series yet, but I do not want to anyway. The acting is soooo bad and the plot is just...something. Absolutely boring and cliche. Want better dramas from the Chinese industry. It's the 21st century guys, wake up. Seriously we don't have the patience for people to have childish behaviour. I am usually optimistic but I just can't deal with this drama.

Like hundreds of people, I agree that the rating on Viki & MDL for this drama is bias of the actors. It's only popular because famous Chinese actors are starting in it. It doesn't deserve its rating. We have to change how we perceive our views. This is unfair to dramas which are actually worth watching but are not recognised for their quality.

Just watching the first five episodes I could take more in. I found myself frequently skipping unnecessary parts. People who are actually sane and value their time, stay away from this drama. They is no point in wasting your precious brain cells watching this. Either find something else to do or watch a drama with watching.

my main problem was the typicalness of the characters and the relationship... the same old "cold dark guy x soft naive girl".. I think I'd have liked it more without the forced age gap, I don't find any solid reason for making her a 19 year old beside having an excuse for her to be "clueless" and ready to chase the guy first? also to add conflict so the guy can "refuse" her saying "his too old"...

kind of like a reveres www, which was slightly frustrating, but atleast the main couple there started a "relationship" and had struggles through it, and it wasn't their main key word.. like they had a life outside of the romance?

also, the side plot, or more like the main plot(?) surrounding the guy is again so boring and pointless.. I REALLY didn't care for any his personal "struggles"....


my rewatch values are a 1 or a 10, also the music really didn't leave an impression on me, and I remember times when the song was louder than their talking?

Overhyped

Here we have Yang Zi playing another dim-witted character even though we’re told she’s a genius . I’m at the point now where I’m petrified to watch any of her dramas since all she plays are such characters except now she’s 30 years old in real life and I wonder just how much longer she’ll stick with these stereotype. It’s neither cute nor endearing, and the script went way overboard by adding a layer of her being a stalker.

Similarly, the ML was written in a way that makes it difficult to root for him. He’s needlessly antagonistic with a face I can only call punchable and I couldn’t care less if they got together.

Still in the process of watching, and will give it around 10 episodes or so before I decide whether to drop this show or not - however, right now, the female is truly preventing me from enjoying this show. I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Yang Zi, but I liked her enough in Ashes of Love. I'm totally okay with overly cutesy female leads, but not if 99% of their character is focused on chasing after the ML.

Right off the bat, she presumably falls in love at first sight with the ML, secretly gets his contact information without his knowledge, and proceeds to basically stalk him. She was even late to her event because she was busy chasing after him! The whole thing just gave me creepy, obsessive fan vibes.

Based on some of the reviews, it seems that her personality and background never really gets fleshed out and her supposed intelligence is not really put to use either, which is a damn shame. I'm just hoping the chemistry between all the characters is enough for me to continue watching until the end.

Will change my rating/review as I watch on.
