The story sucks you in
I admit, when I first saw the premise of this movie, I wasn't initially interested because I'm not much of a gamer. But the way they presented the story with a fiesty young girl who loves the game and joins an all male team, it hooked me in almost instantly. And although there is a romance in the story, I found that there were also enough solid side characters that made the story that much more interesting. I like the character of chubby, he wasn't just a comic relief like is often the case when they have an overweight character. Instead, he ended being very much used as also a support for the ML in his quest to get the girl. And the various competitions that they have to go through, you can see the growth in the FL as a player. She goes from just being an amateur gamer to a professional. I actually teared up when she lost the first time against that other gamer online especially when she said it didn't affect her. But then continued to stay up late to try and practice in order to get better. It was so touching when the ML came back to check on her. This was so early in the series. But you could already see the writers setting up the story for them to get together, Of course it's predicatable. But if you're looking for a series that's easy to watch, not much to figure out, with a solid cast and fun storyline, I highly recommend this series. This is also easily a rewatch one. I'm watching it again, I think for the 4th time now.
