To start off, I dropped this drama once because of the first 20 mins of the first episode. I felt that the scenes were too cringe because the FL was like putting in her all to attract the attention of ML. But I must say I am super super glad that I gave this drama another go! This is probably one of my faves such that I am shipping yangzi and Lixian together! I loved how FL was able to slowly melt the cold heart of ML! It’s so cute how his actions start to change because of her! Other than the romance, another great feature of this drama is the team spirit, patriotism and brotherhood! I loved the chemistry between the ML and his old team mates, they are more like family and some people find the flashbacks abit too much but I really loved them! ML’s interactions with the boys under him is just too cute! He is like their dad being all strict but then he really shows how he cares for them! The patriotism of ML is really touching to watch, he really wanted to help make China proud and it’s not too overbearing! ML and FL may have a 10 year age gap but they’re both amateurs in love so it was really cute how they make similar mistakes!

The e sports in this show is different from those that I watched before (love O2O & the kings avatar), in this show there is no character graphics in the game only coding. If you like those character graphics then this is not one of those shows!

I loved all the supporting characters, kk boys, wubai, Xiaomi, yaya, solo..... there is no bad guy in this show and that makes it so heartwarming!

The kk headquarters is so cool!! It has this like container concept going on! While watching this show I really wanna have the chance to go in there and play!

Also, I read that the ML role was first offered to yang yang but he couldn’t take it up because he was already confirmed for the Kong’s avatar. I love yang yang but I really cannot imagine anyone else other than lixian to act as Han Shang Yan.

If you like cute light hearted love stories and heart warming brotherhood, this show is a must watch! P.S. the OSTs are one of the best for C dramas!
