To each their own!

I saw a some negative reviews on other platforms who came here for Yibo but somewhat left disappointed because it's not what they expected. Of course they were expecting a similar non talking Lan Zhan to be on the screen again since we have all missed Lan Zhan like crazy since the Untamed ended but I accepted the fact that Wang Yibo is a real person that needs to do other things to progress on his career, not a tool of our perverted fantasy. So , I gave Gank Your Heart a try.

Plot and characters:

It's a sports drama. So, there will be a lot of excitement, underdog wins the trophy, genius behind the scene strategist makes a breakthrough and the drama will end with a heartwarming feel of losers becoming winners yada yada. I expected that bit, but I felt happy throughout the drama because the story behind the team members were interesting enough to keep me hooked. The romance part was pathetic to be honest because Yibo always looks like he is allergic to women, but I bit down a bitter pill and endured it all because of my undying devotion and love for him as an allrounder entertainer. Pei Xi and Yi Xuan stole the spotlight to be honest. These two guys , whenever they come on to the screen, I am always either laughing my head off or expecting a huge dramatic scene to unfold. I loved the FL at first, because she was relatable to most of us, someone trying to make it in the industry but faced with challenges due to unhoned skills and insufficient networking skills. I liked how she progressed from a newbie to a complete pro in the industry, all with hard work and tenacity. I however, did not like how her love life progressed. If someone like Mi Ya came in to my life , I would have either beaten the crap out of her, or I would beat the crap out of Xiang Kong and then walked away with my boot prints on their faces. No one deserves to be played around like what happened to Qiu Ying. The lack of back bone pissed off my feminist side and I felt so angry at the miscommunication trope used for the romance side of the drama.
As for Xiang Kong, I felt baffled at how Yibo showed more passion playing the game compared to when he was cuddling Qiu Ying. Gosh, this guy needs to learn his romance tricks from Luo YunXi. He had this awkward facial expression when he was near her which was not convincing at all. Qi Yue and Qiao Xin were gold! Omg, such good acting. Made me hate them so much but at the same time, I didn't feel their ending was too light of a punishment because the screen writers wanted us to feel bad for them and forgive them. I was like, hmm fine.
Throughout the story, I had to skip the Qiu Ying crying parts because they were annoying, the parts where Yi Yi was nagging non stop and the parts where the Legends chairman was just standing up looking useless throughout the drama. The good parts were the competitive parts where it was the main theme of the drama and the screen writers did not fail there . When Mi Ya entered the storyline, I felt it was an immense plot hole that raises too many questions in my mind. Like Mi Ya wtf? Or Miya, why now? Miya, seriously? Miya, after 3 years , really? It was an unneeded addition.

Overall

I would give it a go. I mean the roller coaster of Main Leads chasing each other in the first 10 episodes was fun for me . Yibo is good at being a tsundere and he will only play that role his whole life if he doesn't flex his facial muscles more often. The competition part is inspiring as well. The journey Qiu Ying took to finally be successful is also fun to watch although I cringe so bad at all the attempts by Qiao Xin to ruin her which did indeed destroyed her temporarily and diverted her path too many times. Qiao Xin's evil doings were recognized too late and I lost interest by the time the story decides to punish her. But anyways, watch it with a low expectation. I put a low rewatch value as I know I would again skip many annoying parts.
