I recommend it if you can see past the issues.
Honestly I quite liked it. I don’t binge watch stuff often but I binge watched this. Even though I had quite a few issues with the show I watched this looking for a weird romantic comedy and that’s what I got. But here’s my issues1. The in your face product placement. It was the worst I’ve seen in any show. Some actual ads are less weird about it.
2. How often I wanted to smack the love interest. That’s pretty self explanatory but in some ways their relationship being rough around the edges made it more real. But often it made me uncomfortable/annoyed.
3. My favourite characters were the other teammates and they barely got any character development. I wanted to see more of them.
4. They treat eating lollipops like smoking because they couldn’t have him smoking. It was really dumb. (And other general issues with Chinese media)
5. People that actually like stuff like E-sports and the team based video games it’s about apparently don’t like the show very much. That didn’t affect me too much personally but I can see why it would be the biggest issue for some people.
So there were quite a few issues I had but most of the time the good outweighed the bad. I recommend it if you just want to watch a weird romantic comedy and can see past the issues.
