The show's biggest problem
My rate. this a very strange series.questions are open. and we will not receive answers. you can just guess. why the characters love games? to become pro? what they look for in life? their feelings? (to win)? why?. and they all have a family problems. ok. this great.
bad script. a series in which the viewer is actively drawn into the story. should reveal the characters later so that the audience will be able to care about the characters and want them success. but they just leave it,(open) make us to guess.
Characters
FM lead: she is a young girl, want simple things, have ex story. always wants to convince others. because of what she thinks.
it must be true. turned on height fetish.
ML lead: start playing in Korean team. he got used to taking responsibility on the team members. Know their pros and cons and use it to win. When he fails once instead of support gets criticized by this friends. but like always is girlfriend make him smile.
they don't developing. or changing.(only the male lead have a story line of understanding what to fail and lose its not bad. because we all humans. and this from is girlfriend help.)
FL lead friend: her boyfriend who will lose.and their love story. this ok. nothing special to say.
Ex-boyfriend with sad eyes: for what is he in the story? what does he being here affect? looking at her sadly?He taught her to play .. to use a keyboard and a mouse .. opened a new world for her? she could also do it alone. right? he didnt answer the phone for a few days. and made her feel lonely.and abandoned. nothing more.
ML lead Korean friend: At first we find that he can not play for a very long time because of the hand problem. and this is the initial reason for their replacement in games. but its stops here... he's just a friend who knows him well .. I thought he came back because he wanted them to be in the same team again. but he is just another dude, who need to lose..
ZDJX team; we do not discover much about them. except for family problems and stress to win. They're here to be funny. The story does not open or expand them. they are all a team and know excellent to play together .. because it's not their first time. it was so funny when. from no were. they got a problem. just from air. very professional what can i say.
Conclusion. most of the plot sucking out of nothing and exaggerating. with "emotional music" in simple moments. and sad looks. with the story that does not explain or show emotions or reasons for the same actions. The difficulty comes out to create caring feelings about them and want them to win ... why do they need this victory .. why should I rejoice in the victory of people I know almost nothing about.
American shows keeps open space to character developing because of second season and possibility of changing them different to original ideas. so will be second season? or what..... guess..
I hope the Chinese will learn to show emotions before and not just deeds. or at least they will start explaining in a playback for example or similar .. with their progress compared to previous years. I believe they will succeed ... but there is room for improvement.
