Well-deserved All the Hypes!
Definitely one of the best modern Chinese dramas! The visuals and chemistry that you couldn't resist!!!
To be honest, this drama is a little similar to the other gaming romance series like Love O2O and Go Go Squid, although it didn't touch base too much on the gaming details like the others, more on the main leads interaction outside of the game. However, I would say I loved this couple the most!! The drama has pretty hilarious and quirky lines, main couple exploding chemistry, not to say their visuals that are totally eye-pleasing, it's pure fantasy. Not to say Yang Yang extremely alluring deep voice and charming smile, Dilraba is really gorgeous too! Both of them really fit the roles and portrays a really cute couple in the show! Sweet but not cringe! :)
The first half of the show involves more on gaming as the two main leads get connected again with each other through a game (although they were high school mates). After watching this, I was so curious about the game so I went to download a PUBG game and try playing, that's how I finally understand what they were talking about in the show. However, if you do not want to do so it's totally fine to watch it without knowing as well, doesn't really affect much, you just need to know that this game requires a lot of strategy and because the male lead is smart so he picked up the game real fast and was really good at it.
In case you want to know about the game, here's an extremely simple summary of it:
1. Basically in one game, there are two teams (5 member each) and you will need to pick one hero to battle.
2. The game has 100+ heroes and each hero has their own unique spells and abilities. Like if you choose a fighter hero, you can make more damage to the enemy but you need to get near to enemy to kill, if you choose a mage hero, you can cause damage from a distance, have lower HP but your power can kill enemy easily etc., so you will need to use your strengths to support the team. Some heroes are difficult to play, because their spells have a lot of grey area, but it is very powerful if you know how to maximize it, but new player won't know that.
3. You will need to destroy the base of the enemy (at the same time defending yours) in order to win, in the process of it, you will need to kill your enemy to accumulate more "kills" and try avoiding being killed because when you are killed you need to wait for a certain time to resurrect and enemy can destroy your base during this time. MVP are usually those who got the most contribution in overall (evaluated based on the no. of being killed, kills + assist, caused the most damage etc.)
4. In this drama they always mentioned about "五連絕世" (Pentakill), it actually means killing 5 enemies in one go (without dying). Usually that happens when enemies team up to gank you, but instead they all got killed by one player.
5. There are 3 lanes to head to enemy base, some can get the fastest to the base, some you can kill creeps to earn more gold etc. so it actually requires a lot of team work and strategy in it to win. Like if you are bad, you usually don't go alone on a lane because your enemy can ambush and you will be killed easily.
6. The key point to be good in the game will be experience, knowledge and strategy. Because If you know all the heroes' power, you can predict their next step and plan your next move to kill them. You need to think fast, move fast and react fast, that's why this game is actually quite hard.
*I didn't play the actual Honor of Kings so not sure if it is exactly the same, but I supposed the basics are there! There are much more details but it's not so important for the drama, so all these should be sufficient for you to understand!
The second half of the drama talks more about their romance and the male lead's aerospace dream. This is where you can see how the couple is being so adorable when they were with each other! Be aware of diabetes with all their flirting and kissing scenes! Just so natural, never a second to think they are acting! I love it especially when they were teasing each other or even embarrass each other in front of their parents or colleagues. I come to realise that this drama doesn't have a second couple (unlike the typical C-drama) but the whole series wasn't dull at all, maybe that's why it was even better! Because if you enjoy them, you get to enjoy them in full, without any “interruption". Although their "ex-s" appeared here and there, I thought they are gonna be those annoying second leads to try breaking the couple up, turned out that they don't really have much scene haha! I would say their relationship was a pretty "strong" one, even though they are a LDR, having different financial status, lifestyle and being in different work industry, they learn to understand each other, overcome all of it without family conflicts and unnecessary misunderstanding. Although it's really lovely to watch, I would say it is actually pretty unrealistic in real life though haha! Well, but we look for fantasy in dramas, that's why we watch it right?
This drama definitely lives up to my expectation and worth being hyped up for! :) I personally didn't give it a 10/10 mainly because I was looking for more climax in the drama, however I don't deny that I really enjoyed watching the entire series even though they don't have it. Highly recommended for the year and is definitely a Rewatch-worthy drama! :)
