This drama gives me mixed emotions.....

Hello!
To begin with, this drama is actually pretty good regardless of the e-sports controversy and the plagiarism scandal. The chemistry between the two main leads is very good and their chemistry with the other cast members is pretty solid too. However, the storyline is kind of awkward, and sometimes the lines that the actors say are weird and irrelevant.

In addition, is it just me who gets really irritated when the Korean players speak. My goodness, it is so strange and weird. One minute the Korean player understands Chinese and is laughing along with everyone --> the next minute the Korean player needs a translator for everything Chessman and Smiling. Every time a "Korean" player appears and starts speaking, I skip the scene.

One thing I would also like to point out is the scene where Smiling meets Lu Yue for the first time, Smiling was startle because of how much Lu Yue and Chessman look alike......BUT THEY DON'T LOOK ALIKE AT ALL!! The only thing they have in common is that they are both handsome :)

I don't think I will rewatch the drama as a whole but probably would only watch clips of just Smiling and Chessman together. There were multiple times that I was going to stop watching the drama because of the weird storylines and the Korean players. However, I think what made me stay to finish the drama was the strong chemistry between Smiling and Chessman. Although Chengxiao's acting isn't the best, she really fits the role of Smiling and is so cute when she smiles. The strong love between Smiling and Chessman as well as the comradeship with the ZGDX team makes them overcome all obstacles.
