WATCH THE ANIMATION

My review will be the shortest i've ever written, as i dropped this drama and still don't understand how it could get such a good rating. I started this title because of all the hype around it. It disappointed me in everything; Characters are all exaggerated, sense of humour that isn't funny, lack of acting .... etc, etc.
The ratings on MDL aren't fair and most of them are probably for Yang Yang only. The title got hyped because of the novel/animation and Yang Yang. If it was for another actor, i believe ratings will be less biased.
To me this drama isn't worth the hype nor your time. If you want to watch King's avatar story, watch the animation.

If you want to watch a c-drama about gamers and romance, i'd recommend you to watch Falling Into Your Smile - it is another caliber !

Heads down to the most amazing drama

I don't have words to describe this series..My emotions are still raw after watching it for 3rd time on repeat.
This is the best and way underrated series of Mainland China.
Story is nothing spectacular when you watch this drama..it is just related to an esport where a guy's journey is shown from a scratch after achieving the most glorious title of the game. Due to his old friend he has to start from zero again but what a spectacular journey it was.
It is not only a journey for him but all those newbies who chose him to be their leader.
This story is all about compassion, team leadership, empathy, strong mindset, respect towards each other, trust and choices.
Everybody made their choices and they worked hard to achieve the goal for the choice they made.
Not only story tells us about team building, but also it teaches us to respect each and every opponent and instead of using mockery when other looses the game, just make a way so that party who lost the game continue to soar their spirits and become better in next challenge.
This story is all about healthy competition and the challenges we have to face in every corner.

OST was the best. Each and every character whether virtual or real was justified and did a perfect job.

Overall I can rewatch this again and again and I will bever get tired of it. Applauses to all the actors, storywriter, director and other staff who managed to produce such an amazing series.

Not my CUp of tea

I wanted to watch something romantic and remembered how much I loved watching love O2O when I got introduced to a whole new world of dramas and started watching this. though the genre didn't mention romance I expected something mild however that wasn't the case.
Thought dramas are only about romance but didn't expect to encounter something without any romance. I would've considered continuing watching it but can't do it in my current mood.
It has a good theme and all but I personally don't like that gaming stuff. knowing that I won't get what I expected I can't continue it.
so I decided to drop it.

Still watching but I already like it

So here is what I can from my experience of 5 episodes - a story of friendship, betrayal, passion, beliefs, comradeship.
A strategic battle. A heart touching story. Of an expert who has been derived off but he refuses to give up. Of rebuilding dreams. Of restarting from start, that's what it's hard. But there is still more - ye qiu is still underground, still building his new teams, cultivating comradeship.

But the story isn't all about it - there is humour as well. I am really liking that little stupid, smelly boy part of ye qiu as the network manager of Guo Guo. I am liking support characters - like president of lanxi Pavillion, xiao tang etc

Well, the e-sport part isn't still completely understood yet. But let's hope for the best.

Parallel to novel. No degradation in quality.

"CHASE". I have been watching the progress of the king's Avatar since the first day. It grabbed my attraction all out of the most. The assigned actors are amazing and worthy of being cast in this drama. The music sounds phenomenol with ongoing sequences of episodes. Have patience to watch this drama and get indulged in realistic world of chase. This drama most essentially gives the message to have high spirit and get back once you stopped with winning possibilities.
Yang Yang is the top rated actor for me. He has absorbed himself in the character apart from looks. His culinary acting skills are making this drama interesting alongwith other actors' effort. Well directed with background scenes.
I would recommend every body to watch it until the end and then rate how you like it as because rating at initial stage may spoil the worthy work of the finest actors.

Un coup de coeur immédiat

Je ne connaissais pas du tout. Et un jour, en regardant sur WeTV le prochain drama à voir, je tombe sur le trailer de "King's avatar" et mon ado de 13 ans, se trouvant dans le coin s'est exclamé "Whoa, King's avatar, j'adore cet animé!!!" Nous nous sommes retrouvés à regarder ce drama, avec mon mari, pour faire plaisir à mon fils. Et nous l'avons remercié car grâce à lui nous avons pu découvrir une petite perle. Nous sommes une famille de gamer, du plus jeune au plus vieux. Et les MMORPG font partis de ce qu'on préfère. Nous nous sommes donc retrouvé immergés avec plaisir dans ce monde. L'histoire est passionnante et même si Yang Yang incarne Ye Xiu (à la perfection d'ailleurs) héros typique quasi parfait à la haute moralité, ce qui peut rebuter certains qui aimeraient peut-être un personnage plus atypique, nous avons adoré voir Yang Yang " mettre la pâté" à ses adversaires, cela était j'avoue honteusement jouissif. Les scènes de jeu sont excellentes, fluides et dynamique. Les relations entre personnages sont intéressantes et sympathiques. C'est loin d'être aussi intenses que dans "Cross Fire" mais cela reste une belle amitié. J'avoue avoir une nette préférence pour les adversaires/amis de Ye Xiu comme Shao Tian ou les capitaines des autres équipes qui soutiennent Ye Xiu jusqu'au bout. J'avoue par contre ne pas avoir eu de coup de coeur pour les personnages féminins. Elles ne sont pas mauvais loin de là mais je ne les ai pas trouvés exceptionnelle. Je regrette le manque de romance ou de relation familiale, comme dans "Cross Fire" qui aurait apporté une petite touche de vie privé aux joueurs, ce qui nous aurait permis de les comprendre mieux et de nous y attacher.
C'est donc un coup de coeur et un très bon drama qui fait passer un excellent moment .

Me sorprende que aun no haya una reseña en español.

La reseña tiene spoilers.

Confieso que vi primero Who Rules the World y quede enamorada de Yang Yang, de allí me pase a The King’s Avatar para verlo de nuevo, y a pesar de que no sé nada de eSports ni de videojuegos la serie me atrapó desde el inicio, confieso que no pude soportar del todo a Cheng Guo, ya leyendo la novela me pareció mejor su personaje. He leído la novela 3 veces y cada vez la disfruto mas, totalmente recomendada.

Puntos entre Pros, Contras y comentarios…

- Que Ye Xiu y Blue River se conocieran en persona fue lo mejor, en la novela no pasa así pero su interacción es más completa.
- Me hubiera gustado ver la batalla de Huang Shaotian vs Ye Xiu en la arena con todos los demás Pro observando.
- El quiebre del paraguas nunca paso, en serio me preocupé cuando vi el Drama y fue de las razones por lo que leí la novela.
- La interacción del padre de Ye Xiu, no pasó en la novela, solo hasta el final lo mencionan.
- Aquí tratan a Su MuCheng como hermana menor, en la novela es parecida pero hay leves guiños a que son algo mas que amigos, el que ella quiera dormir en la cama de él, aunque sea en pleno día me llamó mucho la atención, y eso de que ella duerma inclinada sobre su hombro de Ye Xiu en la recepción de Happy me hace shippearlos aun mas. Ambos se preocupan el uno por el otro, no lo mencionan pero te hace ver que hay algo mas, al menos así lo veo yo.
- Supongo que hay alguna escena extra que no filmaron entre Ye Qiu/Ye Xiu, ya que mencionan que Ye Qiu les dejo al equipo Happy unos cupones para comprar mas comida en el restaurant.
- La mezcla entre el personaje de Sleeping Moon y el reportero haciéndolo uno solo fue un gran acierto, se ahorraron mucho con esa unión.
- No sabía que la voz estaba doblada, jajajaja, en Who Rules The World también la voz estaba doblada así que no conocí la voz de Yang Yang hasta que vi Love O2O.
- Du Ming vs Tang Rou en la batalla de All Stars no paso en el Drama, de allí él quedo prendada de ella. Es el único enamorado en la novela, todo emocionado él y ella ni en cuenta.

Recomiendo que quien se interese en el Drama, lea la novela, no se decepcionara, recomendaría tambien ver la animación/Donghua pero lo vi un poco corto en relación a lo que piensa internamente Ye Xiu, le falta un poco mas de profundidad pero es mas apegado a la novela que el Live Action. Lo volveré a ver sin duda.
