It was cute and perfect for videogame and romance lovers
If you liked c-dramas like Love O2O or Go Go Squid, then you're going to like this one too!
I loved this drama so much, I kept sleeping at 5am for four days straight so I could finish it <3
Now, there are spoilers here:
There are a couple of things that I didn't like, but it usually happens in a lot of dramas that I watch.
The protagonist is a Mary Sue, that meaning that every guy that she encounters falls in love with her, and she's sometimes annoying. I liked that she is the first and only girl doing eSports as a career, and they portray that misogynistic aspect of "not letting girls play games profesionally because they only do it to approach handsome boys" very well. But once she proves that she's worthy of being in the team, they keep bringing in that shes a girl and that she's only there for pretty boys, even her fans. And I'm mad about it even though I liked the drama.
The romance is a slow burn that I liked. He really respected the protagonist (there were some jealousy problems, but we're letting that slip). He really admired her for her abilities to play the game and for how strong she was in some situations. But sometimes their relationship was a bit confusing because you never really know what things they've done in their privacy, like if they had had their first kiss already or not because they never show it on-screen??? The first kiss you see is in a bus surrounded by their team mates and that barely feels like a first kiss, so even though it was a cute romance, it was confunsing at times.
I didn't like that half of the episodes were them playing that game, which may sound rare but the characters and the dynamic of the game are never introduced to you, so half of the time I got confused with the technical aspects of the game. But the 3D animation of the characters was very well done and I appreciated those parts, although sometimes it was confusing which person was using which character.
This is not a critique, but K and Cat were boyfriends and you can't change my mind.
Even though all of these things I've said, I liked the drama and I'd recommend it if you like romance and videogames <3
