MUST WATCH...ONE OF THE MOST WHOLESOME SEQUEL/SPINOFF EVER!
I just finished watching the drama and I am writing this review with such huge smile on my face...:) I see many negative reviews and comments and wonder whether we watched the same drama! Yes I agree, the first couple of episodes didn't impress me as much as I was expecting but as the show progressed I was pleasantly surprised by how great it became.Story : As everyone knows this story, unlike GGS 1, focuses mainly on DT and Appledog's romance more the than the gaming aspect(Not that the gaming part was neglected). The story progressed smoothly enough considering GGS1 had already set up the timeline except for some loopholes. I personally was heavily invested in both the OTP romance and the sports.
Romance : Main couple (DT and AQ) as well as secondary couple (SZ and AJ) both had pretty good tracks. OTP had the most screentime as well as the 99% of the kisses in the drama which they carry off tremendously well. After SY in ALSB, I felt HYT had the most chemistry with the FL here. They looked natural and most importantly there was no unnecessary drama in their relationship once they started dating.
This is the area where it majorly differs from GGS 1 as GGS 1 hardly had any romantic moments. On the other hand GGS2 is filled with them...:)
Acting : All the actors and actresses were great and special shout out to HYT for another adorable performance (DT is probably every girl's dream boyfriend...:)
Music : Excellent soundtrack.
That said there were a few instances where I was really frustrated like the period when SP was winning...I just wanted it to get over and K&K to win the championship...
Rewatch Value : I'm going to rewatch this once again tomorrow so I guess a solid 10?:)
If you are in a dilemma as to whether or not watch this show, don't hesitate anymore and go watch it..Trust me, you'd come out of it smiling:)

Save yourself from this moronic debacle...
How the heck are the ratings for this drama so high?! It was one of the stupidest and worst shows I have ever seen in C dramas! There is ONLY one saving grace of this drama and it's He Xin Liang/Ding Yuxi...FL was a big let down. I don't mind the horrendous hair but she acts like a 5 year old child...What's with the "ah..ah..ah..ah" stutter she has every time she speaks..! So annoying...I was just hoping she shuts her mouth and let others speak normally....
I still bore with it well enough because of HXL, but I just couldn't watch after the FL gave some big relationship advice to her crush that "If you like someone, you should say it loudly and bravely"...The audacity, the hypocrisy of the woman!? Was I watching the same show till now, where she was making an a$$ of herself with her silent crush on the poor guy?!
I was praying desperately by now that HXL finds anyone, I mean ANYONE else in that school who is less toxic than the BFF duo...darn, they had to add another psycho to the mix! I was so out buddy!
Finally after skimming through eons worth of useless episodes finally as I arrive at the final episode, what do I see? Another load of horse crap!!!@$ That ending had no head, no tail...It was as if the creatives were making fun of viewers by playing "let's see how much BS they can take"!!Was it supposed to be a romance? I never realized when dumbo FL fell for HXL...Frankly since it wasn't ever shown!
Sorry for the rant, but I would like to say for the new viewers who are searching for reviews before watching the show not to be fooled by the high ratings like I did...I seriously don't know how it happened...They were probably watching some other show or fans of some actor/actress in that show. Go watch either ALSB or Wait, My Youth" which are infinitely better shows! I personally would not give more than 4 /10 stars for this and those were for the only saving grace of this show He Xin Liang...He so deserved better!

A hilarious rom com with some flaws...
ML and SML had more chemistry than ML and FL tbh...in fact out of the hundreds of permutations and combinations of relationships in this drama, my least favorite were the romantic pairings(Except the HS couple, they were super adorable).ML and SML, ML and his lil bro, SML and his lil sister, ML and his shooting team trio, ML and SML's lil sis, SML and ML's lil brother, and the 6 member friends group, all of them had great chemistry between them, making this a delightful and hilarious watch. Even the dynamics between the variety show cast members and rapport between the FL's work team was wonderful and fun to watch.
I'm not unhappy with the ending but I think it would have been better if the main leads romance had not been realized and it had been an open ending. We could clearly see how crazy both ML and SML were for the FL, but after her completely oblivious reactions up to almost 18/20 episodes, her realization wasn't believable. I felt both ML and SML deserved better than her. I'd have preferred her to get another boyfriend and be in her blissful oblivion and leave the 2 male leads alone to their bromance.
All in all, a hilarious watch. Perfect casting and some great scenes make this an 8.5/10 for me. Just wish they could have done away with the main romance.
P. S - I rofl-ed at the scene with Zhou Yubei(ML's lil bro) and his essay on his "good for nothing brother". That was comedic gold. Same with any scene involving bickering between ML and SML especially them playing "Never have I ever" and trying to beat each other down!😂 SML and his mortified reactions at his sister being ML's die hard fan were also a laugh riot.
