Keeps you rooted till the finale.
Should you? Would you? Could you?

You would recommend this to others. (YES!)
You could watch this again. (YES!)
Ending: Happy
How did I miss this gem? Am glad I took it out of my treasure box and finally watched it.
Firstly, the imagery and graphics of this drama are mind-blowing. The life of “Glory” is so well animated. The matches literally come alive. You feel as if you are actually a part of a video game. It’s that detailed! And each match and each game is so exciting. You can’t not get involved and you can’t escape that knot in your tummy when it's your favorite team member playing.
Yang Yang as the male lead, Ye Xiu, just fits into the role perfectly. He portrays the role of the fallen leader to an internet café manager to the leader of Team Happy effortlessly. His character is a strong one who decides to take his supposed downfall as a challenge and is determined to come out a victor. His love for the game Glory is what brings that victory to him. He seeks the same passion in the new team that he builds. I love the way each team member is introduced one by one with their own story given due importance and their due airtime.
I love the relationship he shares with the leaders of the other teams. It's healthy. It's competitive. Its rivalry at its purest.
While there is no romance between the main leads (Ye Xiu & Chen Guo), we can feel glimpses of it. A fleeting comment, a look but it's there. It's subtle. I like it a lot. Maybe there is a possibility of it coming to the fore in the sequel but that’s again not something whose absence will take away the essence of this drama. The focus is on gaming and esports and it delivers that beautifully.
It makes us reflect on a lot of life lessons if we actually listen to the dialogues carefully (thanks to some amazing subtitles) ….my best one being “The key to winning is not the tactic you choose but to find one that suits you”
It’s a drama about perseverance, about fighting for your passion, for doing what you love, for team building, and finding your own strengths.
You won't get bored!
