A Must Watch C-Drama of 2021
I was in a drama slump - as one might call it - but this drama has cured it very effectively! So far, I've watched the first 20 episodes out right now and I'm head over heels for the chemistry of the main leads. Many of you might be hesitant seeing as it is an E-sports themed drama. However, the e-sports part of the drama is very sparingly included and it's actually very interesting. It made me want to start gaming ;)
If you're looking for a ground-breaking unique show then this isn't exactly it. This drama has ALL the clichés of jealously, trips and falls, as well as the trope of 'being the only girl' in a male dominated setting. But, this drama has used all those clichés to its advantage and its not cringe at all when you watch it. In fact, it was inspiring to see a female pro-gamer who was NOT the weakest link in the team as other dramas tend to portray.
The acting was not bad at all. Both the actors really grown on you. However I must say that the dubbed parts where the ML briefly speaks Korean was very awkward HAHAHA. It's all good fun though. There was a lack of toxicity in this drama which I feel some C-dramas tend to include.
Overall, 9/10 (only because the drama hasn't released all episodes), definitely recommend it. Also, if you're reading this Xu Kai, please marry me <3
