THE BEST E-SPORTS DRAMA!
Let me start by saying I absolutely LOVED this drama so much! I fell in love with Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao while watching this and I seriously hope that they can have another drama together again someday.Why I loved this drama:
-The pacing of the drama was just right. Nothing was rushed or too slow.
-They incorporated the e-sports element perfectly and I really enjoyed watching ZGDX compete! They added just enough of the animations of the game during the competitions, but it wasn't too much that it was boring. This drama actually made me want to try Onmyoji Arena and now I'm slightly obsessed with gaming. Overall, the balance between the drama, romance, and e-sports was really well done.
-CHENG GE WAS LITERALLY SO PERFECT. Tall, handsome, rich, protective, AND had a good personality!? I loved him! He was also sooooo smooth with his flirting (especially in that scene where Tong Yao was saying how she's never even held his hand THEN HE HELD HER HAND). His flirting was light and smooth and not cringe at all!
Side note: his Korean dubbing was ATROCIOUS. Still love him though! LOL.
-Tong Yao was a great female lead! She may have been crushing on Cheng Ge since the beginning, but she was never overly dramatic or cringey about it. She was also very strong and not a weakling who let people step all over her. She even defended her ZGDX teammates in that one scene. Really loved her!
-Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao's chemistry was really on point. They made me so giddy so many times during this drama (esp the elevator scene, that one scene they were both sick and fell asleep on Cheng Ge's bed, and first time holding hands scene).
-The kisses were on point! They did not do the wide eyed cringey fish kisses. The kisses were actually great and showed their chemistry!
-This drama showcased just how much the internet and jealous fans can affect celebrities personal lives (which does not only apply to e-sports gamers).
-I really liked Ai Jia and Jin Yang as a second couple! They gave insight on the real experiences/problems of pro e-sports players (parents not supporting them, not having enough time for each other, jealous fans, etc.).
-I loved how the ZGDX team really became a family and how the other members really protected Tong Yao and treated her like a sister. Seriously loved them all ESPECIALLY XIAO PANG hahahaha! He always walked in at the wrong moment and was just such an adorable and hilarious character.
Overall, I LOVED this drama so much and it is probably my all time favorite e-sports/Chinese drama ever! I definitely experienced that empty post-drama depression feeling after watching it and I was OBSESSED with Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao after. Took me a couple days to get over it and move on lol. I highly recommend!

Glad the show is pushing boundaries and challenging stereotypes
I decided to watch this drama after reading others’ reviews and because of Xu Kai. I watched the male lead in Arsenal Military Academy and found him pretty great. (I think he’s better in AMA than in this drama though.)Watch this drama because:
- I like that the female lead is feisty enough and that she is able to hold her own fort. She’s a force to be reckoned with without taking away her femininity. I think there’s no need to be a man to play e-sports and she shows that a woman can do the job as well as or perhaps, even better than a man.
- I like that boundaries are being pushed and stereotypes are being overturned and challenged. The person who can do the job is the best candidate for that position regardless of the person’s gender.
- The cast is quite good on the whole. Watchable.
- Makes viewers understand e-sports a bit more.
- Plot is fairly interesting.
- There is sweetness and fluff.
- I like a strong female lead and a faithful male lead.
- Happy ending.
- The second female lead is cute.
What I didn’t like:
- Some parts were frustrating (as with almost all dramas).
- Some actors took a while to get okay like Old K.
- About 3-4 episodes after ep 20 were confusing and painful to watch because the male lead was not communicative.
Overall, a good enough watch. I would not give it more than an 8/10 though.
A ‘can-watch’ drama.

My favorite drama
A few things makes this my favorite drama:1) Humor. It's the kind of humor I like and the music fits perfectly.
2) Actors. Well casted and each person plays their part perfectly.
3) No annoying characters. One of the reasons why I might stop watching a drama midway is secondary characters being annoying. If the FL's best friend is too whiny, if a mean girl is too annoyingly mean for too long, or if an ex is too clingy. That doesn't happen in this drama.
4) ML's lines. His sarcasm is absolutely hilarious.
5) Chemistry. It's not just the ML and FL's chemistry, it's the entire cast's chemistry. You can tell they're just having a great time filming this drama. The set must have been a super fun place.
All in all, I've been watching this drama on repeat for like, the seventh or eighth time. It's my new background show, beating out Pride and Prejudice (6 hour version) and Lord of the Rings (extended version).
This and Reset are my only 10.0 rated dramas.

All Time Favorite
I normally never re-watch a drama until maybe a year or so later. But this drama is a must! The storyline is amazing and I enjoy the fluff in this drama. Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao has great chemistry but Cheng Xiao as a new actress did as best as should could. Overall 10/10! Side note, I play LoL so I have a better understanding of the terminology and gameplay. LoL is generally a toxic community and personally, I don't see any problems with this drama. Give "Falling into your Smile" a shot regardless of all the toxic reviews.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Almost perfect comfort drama
This is my favorite drama ever, I don't have a second drama that I liked as much as this one, almost everything was perfect, if someone likes e-sports and enjoys romance then this drama is perfect for them to watch, even if it doesn't reflect the e-sports world perfectly, it shouldn't matter in drama in my opinion.This drama gave me a lot of comforting feeling, and I really fell in love with this title, I hope someone will watch it from my recommendation.

it get better
The first 10 episodes of this drama are really bad. I had given up on the show. Slow, boring, corny stories ad nauseam and ultra patronizing. Bad acting.The I tried again and I found out that after the 10th episode the drama focuses mostly on the happenings within the team and the fights. Everything becomes more fluid and fast and the story between ML and FL is very cute. The acting remains bad but is less noticeable. The in-game fight scenes are really cool. And, finally, a chinese show where the female lead actually remains the heroine of the drama. A fine example of girl power. She still remains the little one who needs the reassurance of the strong man, but, among the c-dramas I've seen (which are few, so I can not generalize) this is undoubtedly the one where the role of the woman comes out better.

Feel Good Drama. Cute Couple. And overwhelming eye candy characters
I have been waiting for this drama since last year. And I can't believe it is already airing and it was soooo good. After taking a long break from cdrama (since I am not really enjoying some already) this is the first one that I enjoyed the most (no skipping). The development of their relationship is very good. The endless bickering is also very cute. It gives me butterflies on my stomach every time. And even though Cheng-ge don't exist in real life, I love his character. Tong Yao would always be the one who is sensitive to what is happening around them but Lu Sicheng will make her point of view grew more broader and always the mature one. They really compliment each other. Overall, this is a feel good drama, Highly recommended (I love Tong Yao, Lu Sicheng. Lu Yue, Ming God, Xiao Rui, Lao K, Lao Cat and ourrrrrr Little Fatty)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
