No romance, but I still love it!

Normally, what makes me want to watch a Chinese Drama is it has to have romance, but as the title says, this is actually the first Chinese Drama, where I'm actually okay that there's no romance, maybe because I am not a fan of the FL (Chen Guo), I mean, as a character, she did annoy me a couple of times (especially towards the beginning), even when her character did developed at the end. Another thing is, I don't see the chemistry between Ye Xiu and Chen Guo, like she is a fan of him and then later becomes the boss that manages Xing Xin . To be honest, I feel more chemistry between Ye Xiu and Su Mu Cheng, because they've known each other since young, and they share a very close relationship, and I love their moments together, it is obviously they both care for each other, but too bad, because she's not the FL (actually wish she was tbh), I know they won't be together :( I am really glad that she joins Xing Xin at the end though!

In terms of characterization, my favourite is definitely Ye Xiu, the actor Yang Yang did a really great job playing out the best in Ye Xiu, I mean, I haven't watch the Donghua or read the novel on my end, but I really love his characterization on my end, he's known as the "King", and I love he keeps a low profile, and doesn't glorify/show off his status as the "King".

I will be honest that at the beginning when I first started, it did take me a while to warm up to the story, but as I watched on, I really came to enjoy it, and I love each individual members that Ye Xiu recruits into his team, and where they have bonded, and I just love their team spirit!!

I also love the other teams players, and especially the captains in those teams who are strong rivals, and also friends with Ye Xiu, who will come out and defend him and speak up for him. And can I say that Yu Wen Zhou character, really reminds me of Tezuka (Prince of Tennis) LOL. Not a bad thing, since I love Tezuka LOL

The most hardest moment for me to watch was when Ye Xiu was defeated in one of the tournament match, and his weapon broke, since I know that is a big blow for him, not that he lost(yes, that hurts too), but that weapon meant a lot to him T__T and then when the team was disbanded, it really hurts me, but then they all have to go through that process, and I am glad in the end, they came back stronger than ever.

At first, I didn't like Wu Chen, but him joining the team, really warmed up to me, and I love seeing him in action! Especially the final match, totally had me ecstactic, and the final match really had me watching their match (without knowing the result) at the end of the seat, and when Xing Xin lose by 1 point, I was sad, but then, when they won (because Ye Xiu broke the record at the end), I was like everyone there who cheered for Xing Xin, was so happy and ecstactic!!!! I love how I am also emotionally invested in these games, and it had me at the end of my seat anticipating how the result will turn out!! I love that Xing Xin won!!! Since I was cheering for them!!

If I have to say something though, I just have to say that those fans, who actually criticize the players for leaving a team, really showed me how fickle they are!! It made me question, are they fans of the player themselves, or fan of the company (JiaShi) -_- So I love those loyal fans who can understand the player feelings and supported their decision at the end!

I say, before I watched the final episode that if Xing Xin win against Jiashi, I will give it 10/10, if it lose, then I will deduct 1 point from it, so in the end.... Congratulations to Xing Xin, and Congratulations to The King's Avatar (S1), you deserve 10/10!!!! I saw that Season 2 is listed? OMG, I will be excited if it comes out with the same casts, and follows from Season 1 ending, because I just can't get enough of Season 1, I didn't want it to end there, I wanted to watch more!!! SO if there's a Season 2, with the same cast, I am definitely watching this!!!

Rewatch Value: Yeah, definitely on my rewatch list!! Hope the team for Xing Xin stays, since I've come to love each member in that team!! <3

P.S: But got to say, that.... Whenever Chen Ye Hui comes onto the screen, I really wanted to punch him, because I don't like his character, he pisses me off, and I thought him in ALP was already worst LOL
