I mainly started to get curious of this drama mainly because my friends have nothing to say but good things about it.
Yang Zi is a veteran actress who have starred in numerous productions and this was my first time seeing a drama with Li Zian in it.
I honestly didn't have any expectations while watching this drama, I am a little familiar with the mainland Chinese entertainment scene and I started this with the mind of just enjoying the ride. The story follows Han Shang Yan as a cold, arrogant, yet skillful e-sports player who retired early due to circumstances (pretty cliche, right?) and Tong Nian as an optimistic, popular singer/influencer who crosses paths while HSY was wasting his time at a computer shop TN works at. If you think about it the story is one whole cliche plot about families surprisingly knowing each other, the backstory, and the like but surprisingly it entertained me. The team Solo characters were people you would like to be friends with. TN's friend Yaya is that typical second lead that needs to have a partner among the *tada* male lead's friends. Unfortunately, I didn't think of Wu Bai that much since his character didn't give much of an impact as well as those from team solo. He was just like the cousin who tags along with HSY's adventures.
Over all, I really liked the drama despite all of the clichés surrounding it. Yang Zi and Li Zian had chemistry and I liked those little moments where they bicker or while TN acts sweet while HSY is mostly clueless about it. Though I'm weirded out about this kind of plot in Chinese contemporary dramas. This drama was adapted from a novel and I've read it and know that the novel has *ahem* more mature scenes than the live action but is it a requirement for the leads to be always good in everything they do? Nevertheless, I still enjoyed this though. It was one drama that I could play in the background.
