Friendship and love in the gaming world
Actually I am writing this review after having seen this dramas a few times already, and I just can't get tired of it. Even if it has flaws, "Falling into your smile captured the gaming world very well. Although it's quite long, you're kept interested by the subplots, the characters and of course, the love story.*The characters
The members of ZGDX (the gaming team) all have their stories and personalities, they're all interesting and equally lovable. The sub couple is so cute, I loved them.
*The main couple
The main couple is just so sweet and has great chemistry. I think Xu Kai was perfect for the role, being cold and sweet along the episodes. The leads form a cute couple that is built during the episodes.
*The theme of gaming
I thought the theme of gaming was refreshing, but maybe it's just me... The animations to depicts the fights between players were really beautiful and well made but a bit long to me.
I loved the celebrity-fans relationship and the cheering culture depiction in the subplots.
I didn't like :
* Sometimes the male lead messes too much with the female lead, to a point it's not funny anymore.
* the main couple take a lot of time to get together maybe a bit too much.

It was just ok???
I have been hearing about this drama EVERYWHERE. And people have been singing praises about this show from left to right. So of course I was ready for a good time. But of the many many chinese dramas I've watched, this is probably one of the most unexceptional and mediocre. Which has led me to speculate that for a lot of viewers hyping this drama, this may have been their first "sweet romance" chinese drama. I feel like everything about this drama was just done alright. The actors were immersive enough, the plot pacing was done ok, the romance scenes was diabetically sweet ( although it didn't manage to make me squeal) and the e-sports part was passable.Now that doesn't mean it's bad or a waste of time in any sense. That's what I'm not saying at all. It just means that at the moment an 8.7 for this drama is ridiculously high for a drama ( and it'll probably level down soon if I'm not wrong). There are tens and tens of other chinese dramas that are of much higher quality and offer much more. That being said, if you're thinking of investing time to watch this and you enjoy a nice sweet romance, I don't see why you shouldn't give this a try.

I really like that the show was wonderfully written in terms of story arcs and pacing compared to other Mainland China dramas I've watched. Some scenes felt too far-fetched, others were way too cheesy, but this one easily falls into my favorites list for sure and is definitely worth the watch if you're interested in gaming (+ romance).
I love the characters (all of them!!!) and I wish the side characters were given more depth/story and screentime. Other than that, I loved it very much and would highly recommend it to gaming enthusiasts looking to watch something light and fluffy.

If you like Modern ESports Plus Romance then check it out
Story:The story was interesting as it gave an interesting look at campus life of an esports pro and competition
The romance was definitely a drama...some parts were not realistic but that's the fun of it
Did not like the ending...it could have been better
Acting:
- ML and FL did a good job
-FL is believable as a young hot shot
Overall:
It was an okay watch, had it's fun and humorous moments but it wasn't great.
If you like Esports, watch King's Avatar instead
If you like love and romance this was okay but I would say there are better dramas

SOMEONE GET CHENG XIAO INTO AN ACTING CLASS ASAP!!!
From the headline of my review you would think I hated this drama.I didn’t.
Instead…I LOVED IT!
HAVE I PEAKED AT MY FIRST EVER C-DRAMA?
Falling into your Smile has been an experience, it was funny, engaging and it gave my heart the flutters - (Don’t worry I had a defibrillator on hand just in case.)
I loved everything about this drama, except the FL - not the character Tong Yao, but the actress Cheng Xiao, now I don’t know much about her, I don’t know if she’s a seasoned actress or not but I also don’t care because I’ve never seen someone so dead in the face. Chen Xiao couldn’t hold an expression if her life depended on it. Is she happy? Sad? Angry? Who knows? Kudos to the writers and the rest of the cast because they all literally carried Chen Xiao on their shoulders.
I’m not into esports, I’m not into any sports but there’s something about the brotherhood and the familiarity of a sporting team that this drama converted effortlessly. The game graphics, the commentators, the music, the ambience all added to this drama.
I can’t end a review before appreciating some man-candy. Xu Kai, as hot as he may be, actually seems to be good actor. I don’t think I would have liked this show as much as I did had he not been the ML.

A MUST WATCH
This is a worth watching drama, it has all a good story line and pretty good cast. I am more of a K-drama watcher but this C-Drama is really good.It has all you will need in a good drama, the story line may be simple yet its addicting and fun to watch the cast has done a pretty good job. The chemistry between the mail lead is good on camera and off camera.
Love that they did show more gameplay in the future episodes, I find the gameplay portions pretty interesting.
all scenarios in the drama happen for a reason which is to give characters developments. Love how there's no break-up with the main leads still shows a strong bond between them , most of the dramas I watched there will be break up and that's kind of clichés for me. and then friendship of the group ZGDX is also worth watching.
Comedy wise, there are too many funny scenes in the drama. Too many puns, Fatty's reactions, ZGDX teammates reactions, Tong Yao and Lu Yue's immature bickering and Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao's bickering as well- I LOVE IT!

Love triangles... My favourite thing hehe
Im am currently rewatching it and it still makes me laugh... The relationship between lu sicheng and tong yao amazes me... They pick at each other whenever they get a chance...I love dramas that are e-sport based bcs life of an e-sport player is so unknown to me since we dont have this in my country...
Also love triangles are the funniest part in drama... In the same moment when lu sicheng gets rid of one guy the other one appears... Hilarious...and i like that... It spices the whole story...

The show's biggest problem
My rate. this a very strange series.questions are open. and we will not receive answers. you can just guess. why the characters love games? to become pro? what they look for in life? their feelings? (to win)? why?. and they all have a family problems. ok. this great.
bad script. a series in which the viewer is actively drawn into the story. should reveal the characters later so that the audience will be able to care about the characters and want them success. but they just leave it,(open) make us to guess.
Characters
FM lead: she is a young girl, want simple things, have ex story. always wants to convince others. because of what she thinks.
it must be true. turned on height fetish.
ML lead: start playing in Korean team. he got used to taking responsibility on the team members. Know their pros and cons and use it to win. When he fails once instead of support gets criticized by this friends. but like always is girlfriend make him smile.
they don't developing. or changing.(only the male lead have a story line of understanding what to fail and lose its not bad. because we all humans. and this from is girlfriend help.)
FL lead friend: her boyfriend who will lose.and their love story. this ok. nothing special to say.
Ex-boyfriend with sad eyes: for what is he in the story? what does he being here affect? looking at her sadly?He taught her to play .. to use a keyboard and a mouse .. opened a new world for her? she could also do it alone. right? he didnt answer the phone for a few days. and made her feel lonely.and abandoned. nothing more.
ML lead Korean friend: At first we find that he can not play for a very long time because of the hand problem. and this is the initial reason for their replacement in games. but its stops here... he's just a friend who knows him well .. I thought he came back because he wanted them to be in the same team again. but he is just another dude, who need to lose..
ZDJX team; we do not discover much about them. except for family problems and stress to win. They're here to be funny. The story does not open or expand them. they are all a team and know excellent to play together .. because it's not their first time. it was so funny when. from no were. they got a problem. just from air. very professional what can i say.
Conclusion. most of the plot sucking out of nothing and exaggerating. with "emotional music" in simple moments. and sad looks. with the story that does not explain or show emotions or reasons for the same actions. The difficulty comes out to create caring feelings about them and want them to win ... why do they need this victory .. why should I rejoice in the victory of people I know almost nothing about.
American shows keeps open space to character developing because of second season and possibility of changing them different to original ideas. so will be second season? or what..... guess..
I hope the Chinese will learn to show emotions before and not just deeds. or at least they will start explaining in a playback for example or similar .. with their progress compared to previous years. I believe they will succeed ... but there is room for improvement.
