MUST WATCH

I actually rarely watch on going dramas since i am very impatient, sometimes i get bored as i wait and ends up with me putting the drama on-hold. But surprisingly, this isn't the case for fiys! i am into cdrama these days so i decided to try fiys plus it's an esports drama! i am a sucker for dramas like this as i like playing games myself. I can’t exactly find any words to describe this drama, it’s funny cute, sweet and inspiring, a mixed of it all!

To be honest, It can't really be considered as the most unique or special drama for a lot of people but one thing that made me think of how special this is, is how inspirational it is! I love how it's breaking gender stereotypes, as someone who plays game myself, getting misogynist comments from people often happens bc they think it does not suit me although i did not really care about it still gets on me, in the earlier eps people doubt Tong Yao just bc of her gender and i loved how she proved them wrong and showed them her worth. I also loved her speech when she talked about women playing games and all, i couldn't remember the whole thing she said but it warmed my heart. I also loved when Lu Si Cheng talked about their fans, "If you really like a player, please come closer to his competition stage, but stay a bit further away from his personal life." How i wish i could tell this to every obsessed weird fans out there.


The female lead (Tong Yao) is competitive and hard working. She has good gaming skills, no. 1 tamamo mae player for a reason. She's a sweet and a really good team player. She cares not just for her teammates but also for her opponents, she doesn’t look down on them and geniunely wishes them the best. She might come off as childish and impulsive sometimes but she knows and reflects on it. It's my first time seeing Cheng Xiao in a drama and i kinda find her acting stiff at first but i got used to it after awhile and even found her adorable. Not that she's bad, just maybe the lack of expression but she's actually doing pretty good for someone who just started acting.

The male lead (Lu Si Cheng) is the type of guy who seems cold and quiet to everyone but has a soft spot for the fl. He's also a really great captain. He geniunely cares for his teammates. Like the fl, he also got good gaming skills, he's an awesome gamer. He might come off as cold but he's honestly not, he's just really too honest and calm lol. I have never seen Xu Kai before and i am glad he's the ml, he did really well in portraying the character. I even became a fan! i watched arsenal military academy while waiting for new eps and now im currently planning to watch more of his past works. Will surely wait for his future works too.

More than anyone in the esports field, i believe that the one who understands and trusts Tong Yao the most is Lu Si Cheng. He sees her as someone who's capable of being a great professional gamer, regardless of her gender and what people think of her. He believes in her but he is also always right beside her when she's upset or unhappy, tong yao’s overcoming her fear and cheng ge’s comfort and support for her, he is so supportive. The way he’s always the first one to push and support tong yao just warms my heart.


This chemistry is really great, they look so good together!I i can't help but scream everytime i see them together. XK and CX really succeeded in making my heart flutter whenever i see the both of them together.

Ofc, let's talk about the supporting characters, Falling Into Your Smile would never be the same without them! Y'all should really look forward to the relationship between the cps, the wholesome bromance and friendships. There were some team conflicts but I liked how they sort things out. Behind all those wins is a team with amazing teammates.


Overall, it's a great drama! I will for sure rewatch it once i had the time. I like how it covered different life aspects like relationships, friendships and teamwork.

If you're hesitant to watch it bc you know nothing about esports then dw, it's okay if you don't know much about gaming, you can watch it and you'll still understand how things works since they also explained some of the things related to the game/esports. Even if they did not explained it, ig you'll still understand how it works the more you watch it.

Please do not take things too seriously, a drama is called a drama for a reason, it's all for entertainment purposes. Some may love fiys and some may not. It has its flaws.
