Smiling? I'm melting at this cuteness

Okay, hear me out… I know this is a drama about gaming, but my God there was a lot of gaming. I was pretty much enjoying this show the whole way through and was like, oooh I wonder what will happen in the final episode!.’ I know obviously they had to win the final tournament, that was a given, but did they really have to spend the entire last episode just gaming? A very important aspect of the show, I know, but still. We all knew they would win so why did they have to spend the entire last episode just on the final tournament!? They could have had 15 minutes at the end of episode 30 and be done! When things were getting so good with Lu Si Cheng and Tong Yao and that’s how they end it? There better be a season two because I can’t leave these characters like that.

Okay, so it all started with Lu Si Cheng stealing her food and closing the door in her face. How rude! Little does he know she’s about to change his life. Before that though, we get to watch her being a queen, jumping on social media and roasting his ass for the world to see. Already in love with Tong Yao XD

Imma break this review down into dot-point.

The romance:
* They are such a cute and fluffy couple.
* Although Lu Si Cheng was so cold and distant in the beginning, the chemistry was ‘so there’! This man, he is husband material let alone boyfriend.
* Their initial trip to the store was so cute and from this point on, I knew it was going to be just the kind of fluffy show that I like.
* The episode where he came down to check on her throughout the night when she was practising and he brought her milk, covers her eyes with his hand so she will stop crying. My heart! Bless them.
* Then, when she was on her period and he looks after her! I melted at this episode. When he goes to get her a hot water bottle! The thought! The care! The fact that the bottle was so little just made it even more cute and he also chose the one with his picture on! She’s Smiling, but I’m melting XD
* When Tong Yao says they should go buy a fish and the scene is split so we see both of them getting ready and they’re putting in so much effort! I could. not. Handle. (The fact that Pancake actually ate one of Lu Si Cheng’s fish is priceless. Also, why did Tong Yao put a Nemo in the tank!? XD Girl, he is going to notice! And then he caught her red-handed. Her reflection in the glass when she realised he was standing behind her had me XD).
* When she falls over, he catches her, and they lock eyes and he says, ‘Are you done staring?’ Bruh! You were staring right back at her! Stop flirting! Jks, I’m kidding XD Please keep flirting!
* The ending of episode 20 had me swooning so hard, and then the continuation in episode 21. Lu Si Cheng was trying so hard and he confessed to her it was so cute! ‘Try me’ Ughhhh
* He tells her she only has a few hours to make a decision. It’s 8:58pm and she hears Lu Si Cheng come home and runs out the door to greet him. And omfg he has the cat! I repeat he has the goddamn kitty! And then they hug! Ugh this was just the cutest scene I have ever seen! The amount of smiling he is doing now really lives up to the name of the show. It couldn’t be more suited!
* There are so many hand holding moments that I cannot comprehend, let alone the kissing scenes. Don’t even get me STARTED on the head pats. Fhsjgksghfkgnd
* I love how the guys know what’s up. And her friend too! When she tells her friend she’s got big news. She’s like, ‘big news? I sense gossip.’ Girl knows what’s up

The Crew:
* Old K - I liked his character although he was cold and stand-offish towards Tong Yao in the beginning. It was so sweet when they started to bond and he became supportive of her.
* Xiao Pang - He was like a lil puppy! I just wanted to give him a big hug! I don’t know why he was so surprised when he actually saw Lu Si Cheng and Tong Yao kissing; like the whole crew knew what was up and yet he was still surprised? I guess he was in a state of shock. Also, love the fact that he always saw them in the suspicious situations.
* Lu Yue - When he first came into the picture I didn’t think he was going to stay. The little streak of blue hair he had always bothered me and he reminded me so much of Sonic the Hedgehog, Crash Bandicoot and Curious George. However, over time his personality grew on me and I didn’t mind his presence so much. He was very juvenile and likes to cause some trouble. Whenever he would whip out his phone, I thought of Gossip Girl ‘cause that’s what everyone does when they spot a hot topic.
* Old Cat - Stern face. Don’t have a lot to say about him, other than why did him and Old K have a fight about literally nothing? Or am I missing something here?

Xiao Rui and Ming God were an interesting pair. Xiao Rui reminded me of Ross from ‘Friends.’ I just see a likeness.

The funniest episode BY FAR was when Lu Si Cheng was set-up with that girl on a date his Mum prepared. He was having none of it. The date hadn’t even started and he was already asking her to leave XD. It makes me LOL just thinking about it. Lu Si Cheng is a savage.

Okay, if I write anymore I’ll just be reiterating the whole show so I will stop. Definitely worth the watch! A huge plus if you like watching people play games. Lots of cuteness and fluff that will have you ‘smiling’ for days.
