Like Milk and Bread, Squid and Gun falls in love
In the beginning, I had a hard time starting this drama. I actually struggled for the first 5 episodes because there is nothing interesting to rope me into it. I even wondered why it got high ratings, and also wondered why my friend highly recommended me to watch this. However, I kept watching and then I slowly warm up to the ML (he's so handsome and sexy in black outfits, anyway... hehehe).I like the character development of the ML, from cold distant man and strict team leader to warm and firm boss as well as a loving and adorable lover because of his deep first love for the FL. I understood that his past that made him the way he is. , and delighted in him slowly falling in love with the FL. I love how much he cared for his team and friends. I think the best part of the drama is the brotherhood between the team members, both the Solo team and K&K team. There is not much angst (except for the FL's mum non-approval of the love relationship).
Overall, very surprisingly, I got to like the drama and fell in crush with Li Xian (the ML).
As for rewatch value, I will watch this drama again but only for the cute and funny moments between the ML & FL, as well as the K&K boy teams.

For me, it was a cute drama! It’s getting better and better! Only reason I am taking a star off is that there are a bit boring parts, especially when they’re showing some flashbacks. But definitely not too bad!
It’s entertaining enough for me, it makes my heart flutter, it makes me happy. Those are really just my criteria to say that a drama is really good! So yes, I recommend this drama!

It started as something good and fresh, with a simple story so it was perfect for that I am not a fan of C-Dramas.
But just a few episodes in, the story gets boring. I appreciate the competition scenes since they started to being too much, as the flashback in each episode, really long and sometimes had really nothing to do with the course of the story.
I can say that my favorite was Hu YiTian, even if he had like three lines and five minutes of screentime in the entire 22 episodes that I watched, I also really liked the team members, really funny but sadly neither they helped to resurface my interest in this show...

I don't understand why people like this show.Maybe the love story is cute but hear me out :
First Of All it was for an FPS "First Person Shooter game", a gaming competition.
And they change it, for a CTF "Capture the flag", which is a Hacking competition, which is a much need job that nearly every company want to hire. In every scene when they are competing they use their keyboard to play, as in CTF you don't even need a mouse, since you are mostly programming. Look at Valorant or Counter-Stike player playing and then go watch a CTF one. You wil be able to tell the difference a mile away. This point is very importante since it makes the whole show hust dumb.
Le't's talk about the Female Lead Char : She is studying IT, and nearly got the first place at a programming competition.
So Capture The Flag is mainly programming competition so she should be able to understand every part of it. And more she could be good enought to compete too. Mainly because they change it at the very last minute but it's painfull to watch.
Everyone in the show talk about the Male lead Char not having a realy job and only playing. But again, because they change the main competition it doesn't make any sens because hacking and security is a real job. And everyone look down on him for no reason. Every competition they are using their mouse to program. It's painfull to watch...
This show could be good if the main activity was gaming, but because is it not, It's just painfull. And they are just taking us for dumb sheep. I won't even talk about the annoying personnality of the FM.

- The premise of esports seems cool and exciting, but I was pretty bored. A lot (A LOT) of time is given over to flashbacks that really drag and don't really reveal much about what's going on presently. Most of the info in the flashbacks could be condensed or even skipped over. I ended up skipping most of the flashbacks and I didn't find myself confused at all.
- Pretty disappointed in the main character. They hype her up to be this cool genius computer programmer who's also a hugely popular singer, so I was excited because I love talented main characters. Unfortunately, most of the time she's just running after the guy and acting like a total idiot. She never really seems to understand what's going on and doesn't stick up for herself. A lot of reviewers criticize her clothes, but I didn't have a problem with that as much as her terrible lack of personality.
- The pacing of the show is really strange. Certain unnecessary parts take up half the episode, while parts of the show that I'm interested in are skimmed over. I skipped through all the boring bits, but I realized that I was fast-forwarding through at least 60% of the show. Not worth it.
I don't understand how people are saying that this show is exciting.. It's pretty slow. I stuck with it hoping it would pick up, but by episode 10 it should have. I would watch more, but other reviewers got as far as episode 12 and said it was still boring.

I dislike the FL character, idk maybe I don't like characters who acts all cutesy and innocent on the outside, but she stalks the ML and basically spamming ML messages. I get that she likes him, but if ML is the one who acts like that, I bet this drama would've been considered a "toxic relationship" drama.
I think overall this drama is overhyped.. In my opinion, maybe just maybe, if you like games, and gaming drama, you might find this drama interesting, but I don't understand a thing. It's different when I watch You Are My Glory, it's about gaming too, but I understand most of it.
Moreover, I'm just saying, in my opinion, C-Drama now days has too many gaming drama, idk it's just boring..

In my opinion an overrated drama. It's just mediocre.
First of all, what I liked most about this drama is it's OST song "杨紫 牛奶面包 Yang Zi - Niu Nai Mian Bao".The story itself is ok. I like the acting of the main male and female lead. They are cute.
However the rest of the drama is quite annoying:
You could tell the whole story in 20 episodes as well without omitting content. Too many annoying memory scenes. Viewers are not stupid and forget previous scenes that quickly!
The game battles are not shown in a realistic way, the game itself neither.
Several foreigners appear in that drama. Yes, they probably speak Mandarin well, but they can't act at all!

Real english title: Go Go K&K
The main problem with this cute (but often boring) c-drama in a sentence: "At his house doing chores, I'm so happy!" Yes, FL actually said that. C'mon girl... The title (at least the English translation) would suggest that FL is the main character. Instead, she simply exists as a cute accessory to ML. The drama is about him, his growth, his journey. FL, despite occupying many scenes, serves no purpose. She is a cute ornament busy being worried about ML, putting on makeup, making coffee and serving all the men in the drama.What I liked: the first few episodes are really funny, FL and ML have great chemistry, ML is really handsome and all the scenes with the K&K team guys are adorable and hilarious. They are the real heart of the drama.
