A romance show ruined by… romance?
This is my first time reviewing a drama here and I want to explain why I chose such a bad experience to start my drama reviewing journey. So here it is:
The whole story is really fun to watch, at least the ML journey as a pro player is enjoyable and the different interactions between the teams is very interesting. For people who like esports, like myself, this would’ve been a dream… But then there’s the FL and all the shitty romance plot line.
The FL seems a bit funny at first, but she didn’t grow on me at all. The reason why is a recurring issue in chinese dramas, at least for me. The stereotypical silly, stupid and naive FL is pissing me off, and the actress didn’t help, actually, i felt like no one could act on this except for ML. The FL is always being put on these situations where it seems like she’s having a tough time and is taking care of everything by herself, but if you pay enough attention, she can’t do anything without the help of supporting characters. (btw her relationship with her bff was really weird that girl needs help
Acting was so bad I can’t even elaborate on that. ML tried really hard but no one really followed. The romance was really off for me, every single male character fell in love with FL who did nothing but asking for help the whole show… I wish the story was really about the competition itself so the romance would be the friends we made along the way.
I can’t help but compare to Falling Into Your Smile that managed to balance romance and fun esports content for the audience. But, again, the acting of both lead and supporting characters were a main part that we unfortunately didn’t have here. Also, I didn’t buy the FL’s dream of becoming a caster, it was probably the way the script did it, but still… terribly written.
I recommend this show to anyone who genuinely enjoys the typical chinese silly girl and typical tall bad boy drama. You won’t see much beyond that, so be warned. Didn’t work for me, but who knows?
P.S.: I’m sorry this is not proofread.
