Chase me and Pull my Pigtails Please Mr. Scene Thief

This is my first review, even though I have been a member for a long time. I will admit that I am usually generous with my ratings because I tend to value things for what they are and not what I expect them to be. BUT, I only give a 10 to shows that make me marathon them AND have a satisfying ending.
I'll start with Xu Kai, since he is the reason I found the show. I'm a sucker for devils with handsome faces, and this show put him at the top of my "Jerks you want to kiss list." I fall in love with all his characters and I am always afraid he will be type-casted each time, but he never fails to draw me in. Even if he wasn't illegally handsome his acting skills would keep me stalking his newest shows. His acting never stops. Even when the camera isn't on him, I can't stop staring. I lost count of how many times I had to replay a scene because I forgot to pay attention to everyone else's reactions. He's an expert scene thief!

I think Cheng Xiao did a great job of playing a young woman in a man's world. She was the perfect combo of feminine badass. The only thing that felt unrealistic was her ability to push Xu Kai away, even once! I mean this as a compliment. This must take good acting skills. All joking aside, I loved her character. This was my first show with her in it and I look forward to seeing her in other roles.

All the other characters were just as entertaining and lovable! I definitely picked up some hinted BL or bromance, but I admit that I'm also usually hunting for it. I'd say more, but I hate spoilers.

The friendships and teamwork themes were really heartwarming and just as entertaining as the romance. I admit I got choked up a few times. I also really enjoyed the animated gaming scenes. They made the competitions more exciting and fun to watch.

I can't leave without giving props to Tong Yao's parents. I normally dislike meddling parents in dramas, but they cracked me up. Their character growth had me rolling by the last episode and I even missed them when they were absent from too many episodes!
