Yeah, I never said she was a bad person and I was quite surprised she voted for the FL, but I think it was partially because she did not even see her as a rival. She was so convinced she was just a "substitute" and that the ML lead only liked the FL because of the similarities between them. And although she redeemed herself later, she did insistently go after the ML, she gave the FL the tickets to her concert hoping to reveal the relationship she had with the ML and she even met her in private to rub on her face their past and indirectly say: "our love is stronger than everything, he will never love you as much as he loved me, so it’s better for you to step away so we can get back together".

I found her behaviour in those occasions unfair to herself, the ML and the FL and although I can understand the way she felt, she was being pretty selfish.

Since she redeemed herself after, I did not hate her character, but I have no doubt that her existence in the plot was only to create conflict and drag the story. I would have rather have less episodes and less drama.

Well, I would not say she is a bad person, she just did not play fair. I did not hate her but I kind of disliked her and think her character was not necessary. If she never came back, this would have been at least 5 episodes shorter.

Yeah, in terms of gaming, this one was more detailed, but go go squid beats it in everything else. I think they based this one on LoL (League of Legends). The objectives of the game, characters, technical terms used by players and commentators, moves and strategies, all reminded me of it and they even had a team that was literally called Legends.

Yeah, there were a lot of things that were not explained and that did not make any sense. Other than that, the drama stands out for being different. It is not some recycled plot from so many other dramas.

I did not dislike it but since I recently finished watching go go squid, which has a similar theme, I cannot avoid comparing them and for most part, gank your heart is behind go go squid. I found it to be a longer and slower, less interesting, more complicated and dramatic version of go go squid. But the main thing is that I completely shipped the main couple of go go squid and could not stop grinning while watching the romantic scenes, while here I wanted them to get together but honestly if he went back to his ex and she started dating her colleague, I’m sure you know who I am talking about if you have already watched it, I would not even be that bothered. Of course I prefer for the main leads to end together, but I was so detached from them that I did not really care. I just wanted it to end because I was getting tired of watching it. I think 35 episodes was way too long for this kind of plot, and the romance was also slower than I expected.

Overall, I think this was not memorable, and if later I feel like watching a drama around the gaming theme, this will definitely not be my pick.

I know. The mix of traditional chinese music with modern beats is so catchy. I can legit play the song in my head without even listening to it. XD

Unfortunately, because of an idiot who left a rude comment, this is on hold without prevision of starting. I have been waiting months for this one but Neko decided to give priority to 3 new projects instead of this one. I was a little sad but since she does this for free I know I don’t have the right to complain or demand anything so I just enjoy the dramas she is subbing at the moment while waiting for this one patiently. Then some idiot left a rude and brainless comment and Neko decided to put this on-hold indefinitely. T T

Am I the only one who thinks the opening song is pretty cool? I don’t know why but the flute, the modern beat and what I think is the female lead’s voice all together sounds pretty good. Lol

Exactly. And I watched the trailer after reading the comment after yours saying this started well and is not going the cliché way. Watching the trailer I don’t even feel like giving this a try, not because it revealed the whole plot, but because what it showed was nothing but clichés. I detected so many that I completely lost any interest I had in watching this. T T

Exactly. If they were going to invest so much in the relationship between Song Yi and Do Hyun, I would rather have her stay with him and just be good friends with the male lead, kind of like brother and sister, and then the male lead finding someone else, because his ex was just not a good choice.

I liked the beginning but then I kept seeing these small things that did not make much sense, I would not call them plot holes, but maybe stupidity. The ending was predictable and a below average episode compared to all the others. Joo Hae Ra was a character I found interesting because from the beginning almost until the end I was not sure if she would be someone who would be there to help or to make things worse. The second male lead did the best in terms of acting. His character was horrible and he played it perfectly.

I agree with everything you said. That is why I was not angry at the way it ended even if it was super predictable. What bothered me is that like someone else said, most of the drama Song Yi and Do Hyun were together as a couple and then right at the end they break up and she starts dating the main lead. I was already way too invested so I could not be completely happy when she finally realised her feelings and got together with the main lead. I wish they had done it earlier. It felt too rushed and we did not get to enjoy the main leads as a couple that much.

90% of the 2 seasons was Song Yi and Do Hyun investing on their relationship, so much that I started investing on their relationship too even if I felt a little bitter for the main lead who was clearly always in love with her. But to me, at first, it seemed like yes, she liked him at some point, but she got over him and is truly in love with Do Hyun. And to be honest, I liked seeing them together. I wanted their relationship to work. And in the end he got the typical second male lead ending, he did not get the girl. As much as I don’t hate the ending or seeing the main leads together, I just could not feel as happy for them as I have felt for main couples in other dramas.

So, I did not like it as much as the first season, but I did not dislike it either. The second season went EXACTLY as I thought it would and was very predictable. I am not exactly angry at the way it ended, it just was not as fun to watch because I already knew what was going to happen.

If there is something that bothered me a little was the fact that...

I liked the first season. It was short so it was an easy watch. Now I am going to start the second season, hoping it does not disappoint me.

I am sorry if this is going to offend someone who likes this but from watching the trailer, reading about the story and mainly from reading the spoilers this seems like 53 episodes of all the garbage I hate in dramas. From what I have read this has a fake selfish "friend", a male lead that likes one girl but dates the other, a second male lead that plays with other people’s feelings, and so on. I hate all these things and having them all together in a drama that is 53 episodes long, nope, I’m out.

Although at first I skipped quite a few scenes because it was mostly showing competitions, preparation for competitions and the male lead remembering things from his past, it did not take long for me to get used to them and the main leads made such a cute couple that even tho this is already pretty long with 41 episodes, I could not get enough of them and would not mind watching more. If there is a second season, count me in.

Although this has fun in the title, this was not fun at all. Yes, it is watchable and yes, there is a moral of the story kind of plot but it was not very entertaining as 1- I had a hard time standing the female lead’s behaviour and how the male lead could be so in love with someone so selfish and unaware of her surroundings and 2- I knew from the beginning what the moral of the story would be and found it to be so obvious that one should not have to go through everything the female lead went to realise it. There is no perfect life, everyone has their struggles, faults, traumas, and so on.

So yeah, it is not that this is bad, it was just so predictable and boring, with this plot they could have made it more exciting but they just made it boring to watch most of the time.

I agree with what everyone else is saying. I liked most of it, mainly because of the female lead. But the last few episodes, especially the last one, were very rushed and a lot of things I was expecting to be addressed weren’t. I think this was supposed to be 14 episodes long so the pace and wrapping up of the drama suffered a lot when it was cut down to 11 episodes.

It’s ok, it can happen. I watched it on youtube just skipping a lot of things and I would not want to watch it anyway, too frustrating. I don’t like it when the other female lead interferes too much in the relationship and this was an example of that.
