See it without comparing it to Go Go Squid!

Should you? Would you? Could you?

You should watch this one (YES! )
You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (YES, in parts)

When you start seeing this one you have unconscious expectations of it being an extension of Go Go Squid and that’s where we all go wrong. Let that be a backdrop for this one. There are parallels in the story with instances being similar which is needed but don’t go with expectations of the actors being the same. If you can let go of that, then you will enjoy this one a lot.

The lead actress, Li Yi Tong is brilliant. Her smile and her confidence is bewitching.
This is perhaps the male lead actor Hu Yi Tian’s best so far. There has always been this restraint that I have found in his acting which to me he has broken free from in this drama. And I am glad to see him mature as an actor. The longing in his eyes, the steadfast, unshakeable love which shines from his face is so convincing. The scene where he gets possessive about the female lead and pushes her in the car just shows the depth of emotion in the character.

The second lead pair is adorable. I have seen Wan An Yu’s other drama and have liked him in that too. He’s a v expressive actor.
The supporting cast is brilliant as usual. Really liked the role of Solo played by Pang Han Chen.

I wish the story would have focused more on gaming than the romance. There are many episodes that could have just been eliminated from this series but I guess that’s the writer's prerogative.
I love the fact that even though there is fierce competition between the teams of SP and K&K, they are united in their quest to win the competition for their country and don’t hesitate to help each other out when the need arises. This shows strength of character.
Also loved the fact that the last episode had both couples from both series. I loved the lead pair of Go Go Squid and the glimpses which we see of them in this one is a treat.

I enjoyed it. I fast-forwarded the parts that I found unnecessary and I finished it with a sense of completion. This is a personal choice. If you liked Go Go Squid and want to see how Dt & Appledog mature in their love, then do watch it.
