E sporting chick meets captain of their team and they fall in love?
First of all I give their sweet/fluffy love a 10 out of 10 , but the other part of a story is 6.0 for me!TO be honest this drama is quite boring but not to the point of dropping! It's about e sport/gaming and coming from a zero knowledge I was completely lost! Lol by the end I kinda understood a. little of how the game worked out. Also the leads took like more than half of the episodes to be together.
The moments that they were together was very sweet! A lot of passionate kisses! I wasn't very fond of their relationship tho! like intiially the male lead keeps calling her shorty, shorty because of her height! I felt that he was kinda rude ( my opinion)
But that didnt bother her.
No character development for the leads....
Sorry, i would only watch the sweet parts and skip the rest.

the characters and their relationships really are what drove this series for me. definitely binge watched it. and I'll admit that I did fast forward through most of the video game only cut scenes as I couldn't really follow them but it took absolutely nothing away from the overall story.
also bonus point for the ost all the music was great. I imagine the nature of the video game theme of the story had something to do with the upbeat soundtrack.
(also the song seventeen did for this drama may have also influenced me watching bc that song is fire)

DEFINITELY A COMFORT MOVIE
been watching for at least 3 times!! the plot is so good, every scene is not boring!! moreover the visuals are soo good!! NEED a season 2 ASAP!!the conflicts is not so heavy which is why it is definitely a comfort movie that you can watch it over and over again. it is very relatable and realistic, especially in the e-sport industry. it does not over dramatize which a lot of other chinese series did.
also lets talk about the visuals! where else can you find XK & zhou yiran in the same moviee!! ++ every individual has its own charisma and unique traits which is why you wouldnt find it boring!!
DEF RECOMMENDDD !!

meu C drama FAVORITO !!!
o que dizer de um dos meus favoritos dramas de E-sports!? faz um tempo desde que eu assisti pela primeira vez, e desde então sempre que posso tento rever! Já até ali a novel que é baseada, e me surpreendeu que a caracterização dos personagens é bem fiel!eu gostei muito da atuação dos protagonistas, de fato é um dos motivos pelo qual eu estou sempre revendo.
as cenas que eles estão namorando escondido... que FOFO! queria que turesse mais dramas com eles! seria perfeito.

Cute and Fun
I watched this on Netflix and I will say this is a Very Chinese show if that makes sense. (meaning the plot and setting also with the censorship) It was super good and I liked that it wasn't a super slow burn but didn't feel rushed or like fan service also, the fl didn't act like a baby so that's such a PLUSAlso wasn't exhausting to watch which I feel like a lot of Chinese shows focus too much on the drama and lack in development
I liked that they developed the side characters too so it had me in the end rooting for even her ex too

E-sport Romance
I came to watch this because of Xu Kai. His character was nothing too great and he fell too fast for the FL. As for the FL sometimes she was a little too cute. The underlying message about fandoms and internet toxicity was frequently highlighted, but not seriously addressed enough, thus not as impactful as it should've been. I liked the sections of game play where the characters of the game were 3D animated. Other e-sport dramas emphasized the training and work that goes into everything involved, but that was downplayed in this drama. There was just enough romance story, but I felt it was rushed and too easy for the FL and ML, same with the secondary romance. Not enough attention paid to the supporting characters backstory and there was plenty of time to do that. However it's a good watch and I do hope that there will be a season 2. Overall for me it's a 7.5/10Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Sooooo Sweet! <3
My comfort show!!! Never found a show as great as this one. This is my 5th time watching and it never gets old. I will always love this show. The actors in this show did fantastic and the team spirit was definitely present. I'm so glad I found this show and I will be a follower of if till I die. <<<<333333Story :
The story was amazing, any like feel good drama where the female lead is tough and proves people wrong with a cold protective male lead, except this drama takes place in the modern time and focuses on E-Sports. The female lead being the only girl to play competitively in competitions and being the only girl on the team, needing to prove to the world that women can play just as well as men and maybe even better. The motivation to help someone or do something for myself and the world. The way it shares on the message of idols and their fans relationship causing problems and etc. Now, celebrities don't really have as much freedom and most of the times they follow what their fans say. This makes them lifeless and like a robot, which isn't true cause their human just like everyone else. The main factor is relationships, there is nothing wrong with celebrities wanting to be in relationships and as fans, they should have no right to tell them what they can and can't do. The fact that this drama managed to tell this so well and accurate is amazing. Also the sweet messages between celebrities and fans as well. Overall it's an average story but it has a strong message and provides so much happiness to anyone who watches. It really rings true to it's title "Falling into Your Smile" because as you watch, you would fall in love with the drama and the main lead's romance making you smile during every episode.
CGI:
I loved the CGI in this drama. Although it's a modern drama, the way it brings us into the game and the POV of the characters make it so much more entertaining. It feels real and like we get to see the characters abilities and sometimes even the emotions the actor is feeling is animated into the character. As someone who has played games like this one (League of Legends :p) it's rlly nice to see the actual POV of the game in first person.
Music :
The music was amazing! The intro song, the cute song between the main leads and also the OST!!! OMG i love the OST, it's so amazing it gives you chills while being an amazing song. It usually plays when the main team, ZGDX is playing the game against their opponents. It's a really powerful song and it makes for a really good "feel-good" moment, for ppl who knows what that means.
Acting:
The main leads acting was amazing. Their chemistry was off the charts! The main lead, Xu Kai is not new in the acting industry but he plays the cold guy persona so well. He looks so intimidating but as you warm up to him he becomes so soft and cute. The female lead, one of my favorite actress did amazing too. I've watched a previous drama of hers that I also did a review on, "Vacation of Love 2". She really shined in this drama as her character Tong Yao was so cute and really strong. The desire to prove everyone wrong and that females can play competitively was amazing and I loved how the director didn't right her to become soft once she started dating (as most shows do). The chemistry between both the main couple and second lead couple was so sweet!! The way they were both loyal to their partner despite being famous, especially Ai Jia, the wat he recognizes his girlfriend's car engine was the funniest and cutest thing in the world. The dynamic between all the teammates were amazing too, the way the whole ZGDX team feels like a family was amazing. I also love how the other members weren't babying Tong Yao and was actually treating her as a teammate rather than a girl was so amazing to see. The other competitive teams like YQCB, or FNC or DQ.five's team chemistry was also so good. Acting was amazing and on point!
Ending:
The ending, nothing much to say than it was amazing. Kind of expected who would win the finals but it still provided a feel-good moment and made me cry. The ending was also really sweet with a wedding between the second lead. What makes me mad is the cliff-hanger at the end, how it said that to lookout for next year when they compete for the world cup.... like this was such a great show, you cant just end it like that. We want season 2 pls!!!!
Amazing drama!! Loved it, can never get sick of it. Pls make season two, bring us back Tong Yao and Lu Si Cheng. Also if season two does ever happen, pls make it the same cast and not another version with a new cast.

MY FAVORITE
okay so I would say that this is one of my favorite dramas! I’ve rewatched it at least 5 times!! I would say the female leads acting is sometimes off but like I still love it! I love how xukai(lushicheng) changes so much from the start of the drama to the end, like how he acted so cold and don’t like ti talk much, all bossy and stuff, but chengxiao(tongyao) opened him so much, he treats her like gold!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
cute fluffy drama
Falling Into Your Smile is a delightful drama that combines friendship, romance, and a dash of comedy, all set against the backdrop of esports. If you love the idea of a light and heartwarming romantic comedy with an esports twist, this is definitely for you!While the plot may not offer groundbreaking originality, it more than makes up for it with its pacing, character development, and relationship dynamics. The focus is less on plot twists and more on the personal growth of the characters and the challenges they face, both professionally and emotionally. It doesn’t rely on a traditional antagonist but highlights the darker side of fame, including the toxicity of social media and obsessive fans.
Even if you know nothing about gaming, the drama stands strong as a charming romantic comedy. The chemistry between Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao is just perfect! The bickering, the teasing, and their gradual romance feel organic and incredibly sweet. Their relationship builds in a realistic and refreshing way, keeping the tension light but engaging throughout the show.
Tong Yao’s character is a standout—she’s ambitious, hardworking, and adorably clueless at times, but her responses to situations feel authentic and relatable. Her growth is steady and human, a quality that’s often missing in many drama characters. Lu Sicheng, while seemingly aloof, is honest and complex. His layers are revealed as the series progresses, making him both lovable and responsible in his role as team captain. And let's not forget his playful teasing, which adds to the charm of their relationship!
The drama doesn’t veer too far into serious territory, staying true to its rom-com roots while giving viewers some heartfelt moments. Oh, and the music? It’s simply addictive. You'll find yourself putting it on repeat long after the episodes end!
Overall, Falling Into Your Smile is a feel-good watch that captures the essence of esports, love, and friendship, making it the perfect binge for anyone in need of a sweet escape!

Must watch Cdrama!!!! I petition for season 2
I'm not interested in esport so at first I hesitate if I should watch this drama or not, so watch trailer on YT and I found it interesting. I like the cast too so I watch it right away, and I did not regret watching this drama because the storyline is so good. The animation of the game is so good! The couple is so cute, they would bicker with each other like everyday but they're also sweet. The second lead too are making this drama go on without the watchers getting bored.Their acting is so natural ? , The main leads acting was a chef's kiss and the second leads too. Without Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai, the chemistry of the main leads would not be as good as theirs.
The OST of this drama is also good but not so good, that you would add the song to your Playlist.
