Cheng Xiao's improvement

The story about e-sports has been the hot topic for the past 2 years, this drama is another addition to the running genre. Although the plot is quite predictable I haven't skipped any scene until now (10th episode), mainly because of the charms of the cast. For the most part it seems like they are sticking to the novel, still I wish they would include more scenes of Tong Yao bickering and teasing Si Cheng.

Unlike many here I find Cheng Xiao to be the pleasant surprise of the drama. Maybe it's cause she finally doesn't have to play "cold" character and keep straight face all the time and maybe it's because she approved a lot since her past 2 dramas, or maybe it's both. Her acting still has some awkward moments plus the narration is not helping any character in this drama what so ever, but still her improvement, comedic timing and chemistry really carries the show. Safe to say casting Cheng Xiao as Tong Yao was a really wise decision. Xu Kai's acting is much better as well probably because of the modern setting as well. He mashes with Cheng Xiao really well on screen and what it seems like behind screen as well, and it actually might be his best pairing as well (we will see, but from what it seems it's going the right path). Yao Chi is hilarious in the drama as well, his comedic timing is just fantastic, I'm looking forward to his next projects.

OST line up is really strong as well. I really enjoy the soundtracks.

Two major cons of the drama:
The main game of the drama. Graphic design of that "game" is just tragic, but still I guess getting LoL on the drama would be really tough because of the plagarism. And the last con is the narration. It's just badly done, most of the time it doesn't even match what Cheng Xiao is saying, for a drama which was getting prepared for almost 2 years it's just BAD. Like I said it genuinely makes a lot of scenes awkward even if the actor is doing well in a scene narration is just ruining the scene and the comedic build up.
