DramaLOVER
Average and sloppy...
This drama is about the ML that plays a father figure in his brother's son's life as his brother passed away due to a car accident. The ML believes this was no mere accident but a preplanned murder and searches for the truth. Meanwhile the ML and FL come across each through various incidents to find out that their fates were intertwined long before they knew it....Seems interesting? Well I'm sorry to say this but it isn't as interesting as I mentioned. I would like to give credit for introducing the kid character which was unique (a bit different from standard trauma love story cdrama's). The kid character made it feel funny and bit goofy. The FL and ML acting was also good. However towards the end the story slowly disappointed. Ning Fing and Lin Wei roles were barely needed in the main frame of the story. It just seemed like an extra prop. In case of the SL female and male lead love story, I barely watched it. I wasn't that driven to watch it and ended up skipping it. What drives me nuts is how through out the story the ML searches for the truth and the person behind the accident. But in the end he ends up finding the answer in the last ep on a hospital bed. There wasn't any villain figure at all but just a few words stating that there is one. And the mystery is solved like that. I mean there was blackmailer and everything that hyped up the story as though there was something big that was to be revealed. I also felt the storyline was all over the place. One sec it was about the ML searching the truth, another sec it was about jealousy and then being rejected passed on status. As a whole the reason I ended up continuing was because of the cute kid and maybe a couple of cute love scenes. Other then that, that was pretty much..
My suggestion is it to skip this drama. But if your someone like me who watched almost all of the good cdrama's and there is nothing else to watch then I guess you can give it a try.

A True Gem that will always remain in my heart
First I'd like to start by apologizing for writing this review late. I created my account because I had to write a review for this drama and it would be a crime if I didn't. Second, I'm someone whose picky with her dramas. I'd drop a drama without hesitation if I find it dissatisfying and even if it's satisfying it takes a lot for me truly give a 10 for a drama.Where do I start? I waited for this drama for almost a year. I watched Gank your heart and Go Go Squid and fell in love with e-sport romance dramas. But sadly there are only a few good e-sport dramas. I came across this drama while I was watching Gank your heart and have been tracking it since then. I simply believed this drama was going to be a good one and it did! I watched this drama while it was airing and you have no idea how frustrating I felt when the eps to be released the next day were postponed continuously. Basically I'm trying to tell you that this drama infected me ways beyond my imagination. I still watch ML and FL compilation on Youtube till this day.
This drama unlike most cause equally balances out the romance and e-sport. There was never a feeling like the romance was just a side thing and the e-sport was main theme or vice-versa. In terms of character, I fell in love with all the characters. The story depicted how each one of them had their own problems and sacrifices when they chose this field. And how they made it through it all together. Lu Si Cheng was a mature responsible strong character that loved to be naughty every now and then. Tong Yao is one the first female's to participate in this field and how she stumbles being a professional. The drama emphasizes on how e-sports isn't just about playing games. But instead how they had to work hard, suffered from injuries, criticism and how they bared the weight of expectations from many. It made me understand how no passion should be belittled. It terms of romance I'm speechless. This unlike the basic c drama where there's constant dazing or coincidental kissing etc. I loved that there was a different side to Lu Si Cheng that only Tong Yao saw and that Lu Si Cheng was direct with his feelings even if it meant being rejected. It felt like a realistic romance and it made me want it to be real. Lu Si Cheng is brought out as a strong stern figure through out the story but towards the end he falls. This part I truly love cause it authentically showed how that even the strongest figures could fall. The friendship between all the members made me feel envious. On top being a motivational and romantic drama it had a fair share of comedy as well. Comedy wise you will surely not be dissatisfied. As whole this drama means a lot to me that at one point I started forcing my friends watching it and playing the game as well. Will there be a second part? Do I want one? I'm not sure cause I don't how you can top of something better than this. I 100% strongly say that this drama needs to be watched by all. It would be a sin if you didn't. Lol! Anyways I might have explained it in a too elaborate way. Please bear with me. Cause like I said this drama is addicting and intoxicating that I had to pour all this out.
