Best Esports drama there is

Falling Into Your Smile is simply the best esports drama i've seen. This drama had it all and in good taste. The classical rom com with an amazing gaming twist. Clearly made in collaboration with Onmyoji arena and FNATIC, a real gaming team.

STORY:
Falling into your smile is about love and gaming. The story follows Tong Yao, an amateur gamer who fell in love with onmyoji arena while dating her now ex boyfriend, professional esports player from team CK, Jian Yang. Then one day Tong Yao gets an invitation from ZDGX's manager to join their team as the first female esports player. Tong Yao agrees and we get to follow her journey to the top. As a girl she gets a lot of hate but also admiration. She is labeled as Mulan of esports.

Our main leads, Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng are a bickering couple. Their love story was so cute that i wanted rewatch the drama right after watching it. Lu Sicheng is the best boyfriend and a really nice fresh character. Lu Sicheng loves to tease Tong Yao for everything she does,but when she is feeling down, he comforts her and when she is having period cramps, he takes care of her even though he himself is sick. When Lu Sicheng got jealous over Tong Yao, he never was overbearing. He always was respectful towards Tong Yao in that way. He did joke about her "Collecting stamps" and having "something against team captains" when he noticed that in many teams like FNATIC and CK, other boys started to notice Tong Yao's charms.

The story itself is pretty simple but it was so full of comedy and cute moments between the leads that it's a must watch for those who love rom coms or esports- or both. Not just the main leads but all the side characters are amazing, for example the whole ZDGX team, Tong Yao's best friend Jingyang and Ai Jia, her professional esports player boyfriend from team YWCB.
The gaming montages are everything in this drama. It was so high quality and fun to watch!

CAST:

Cheng Xiao as Tong Yao aka Smiling, i feel like she was an okay pick. She is cute and petite but i felt her facial expressions little lame. She didn't have many expressions and was pretty much a little bit dull. She did a good job but i would have wished for a little bit more spice from her.

Xu Kai as Lu Sicheng aka Chessman, Xu Kai is the master of facial expressions and is funny just by looking at the camera with a serious face. When he fell in love and became this needy cute teasing boyfriend, his facial expressions shined even more. He did an amazing job as always.

others that stood out for me were

Sun Kai as Xiao Pang aka Pang/Chubby, even though i sometimes wonder why do the "chubby" characters must make their whole personality all about being "chubby". I was laughing a lot for his scenes. Especially when he was always the one seeing Tong Yao and Lu Sicheng together to eventually getting them caught for dating. He was the cutest character and Sun Kai is truly a fine actor.

GaoHan as K, I love Gaohan's acting in this. He is this cold and hard to approach but deep down really soft and caring person. Many funny moments with the whole team teasing ZDGX were some of his best scenes.

MUSIC:
The ost album i really good and i especially like the one where Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao sing the ost.


Highly recommended to watch this one if you are looking for some soft rom com to cheer up your day.
