The cast did solid especially at the debating portions though there were a few awkward acting scenes in the drama. It wasn't difficult to pull through the awkward scenes though. Main leads and supporting leads are relatively new in acting (especially the FL, I believe it's her first drama?) so them being slightly awkward is definitely forgivable. Furthermore, it was only very slight and not to the extent of it being intolerable.
Overall a very predictable and cliche plot but you'll feel as if you're being carried along their arduous journey in debate. When I finished the drama, I couldn't help but to have this overwhelming sense of pride in me. No harm giving it a try!

I started this drama with not many expectations but this drama really proved me wrong. I started watching for Yibo but ended up falling for so many more characters. Qiu Ying and Xiang Kong's love for each other was so pure and they acted that part out super well. (It felt more than real OK SOMEONE FIND ME A JI XIANG KONG) Them, as each other's support and reliable partner; they emerged from the bottom to the top and the final parts of the drama had me in tears. Many lessons learned through this drama. Don't expect major twists, the drama is a very light and fluffy one. Predictable but worth the watch.
The gaming scenes were very well done in my opinion, especially the world championships part. Their reactions were top notch and I really felt as if I was present, watching the actual game even though it's just a fictional drama. The antagonists were really annoying and frustrating but I guess they've done their job well in pissing everyone off HAHA. Yi Yi and Yi Xuan are the best friends one can ever ask for and the way Yi Xuan is so smitten for Yi Yi is very endearing. (If Yi Xuan is the best support player, he's a even better brother man the loyalty)
Everything was plotted well and fell into place, making it relatively natural. Character developments were apparent, making me feel like a proud audience as time passed. Also, Xiang Kong and Qiu Ying's hug scenes make me want to melt and combust (it's so !!!!!!!)
Definitely one of my favourite c-dramas now and I will definitely rewatch it. The OST is very nice too and it's placed very aptly. I miss the characters already omg I love the teams so much :(((( Watch it, don't hesitate! Even if it seems a ~little~ draggy at times, just fast forward/skip it a little and pull through, it'll be worth it, I promise you.
