As a frequent K-drama watcher, I started this show with pretty high expectations as it did seem pretty popular. Needless to say, those expectations were definitely fulfilled. This drama was a bit different from what I expected, but it was pretty good overall.

Storyline:
First with the plot. It was fine I guess, but some parts were pretty interesting, as others, kind of boring. The first thing to point out is the ML and FL's relationship. I think its pretty obvious that their relationship was very rushed. There was no really back and forth between the characters on if they should date or not, it was just a really quick decision. I think it would be better to see like the FL not want to date at first and the ML to sort of chase her. How the relationship started was just kind of boring. But other than that, I liked how it progressed up until where the FL has this incident and the ML doesn't talk to her for a while. It just gets kind of boring then because we really get no justification on why he would ever do that because it doesn't seem like something the ML would ever do to her. The other scenes were very sweet and enjoyable tho!

Other than their relationship, I liked how they portrayed the negative side of idols lives and how they had to deal with it. But there still were a few problems with how they did it. The problems the teams faced were way too frequent and the solutions were nevertheless usually the same. It would just be problem after problem when they started dating which kind of made it boring.

Also, I loved how it showed all the concepts of the esports world like teamwork, friendship, and relationships. The humor they also added into this was done veryyy well and Xiao Pang made it always very cute and funny.

Acting/Cast:
I don't have much to say about the cast other than, they were great! They really had good chemistry which I enjoyed and the FL and ML seemed to get a long really well which brought out their characters even more. I haven't seen these actors in other dramas, but in this drama certainly, they did an awesome job! I really liked how Xu Kai played the ML though, he was able to have that cold personality, but be sweet at times when he had to.

Also, the teamates of ZGDX were great!!!! They really brought out the friendships between all the members and how it develops. They worked very well together and really helped develop the storyline as a whole.

Rewatch Value:
This would definitely be a rewatch for me! Except for the animations of the gaming scenes though, they didn't make any sense at all and towards the end, I just skipped them. It would be better to have a description on whats happening, but the graphics were done very well!

Overall, it was a great drama and hopefully looking forward to a second season!
