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!
