Gank Your Heart

It was okay at the beginning and then quite drama/politics and draggy till Ep 16. I skipped alot and start to watch seriously from Ep 16 - because that's more like starting the ML's direction towards his goal and FL's getting into more e-sports. and there's also where their relationship more focus.

I re-watched few times especially the scenes where they shared the earphone and look at each other! And the background music ~~~~ haha It's really nice to watch and I put this as my one of the top C-Drama that quite memorable to me. I really like how the storyline bits in the beginning and then Ep 16 onwards till the end. It shows how both leads slowly building up their dream career and from friendship to love relationship. Doesn't have typical kind of plot. Also towards the end, show how both leads get together as team to lead to victory. So basically it show quite well being friends, lovers, and work together. Very happy that accidentally came across this drama! As I thought e-sports genre mixed with romance, it's still kinda genre that I'd want to watch more even after Love O2O and Go Go Squid.

The rating could be higher but I remember how draggy when it comes certain scenes/issue that takes longer time/eps to resolve it.

Seriously considering dropping this

So I am 6 episodes into this series and already I feel like I want to pull my hair out and virtually knock some common sense into these characters.

What annoys me the most is the way the wrote these characters to be completely senseless, ignorant and just plain stupid. Like stuff like this doesn't happen IRL. Like how do you not notice someone messing about on your PC and then not connect the dots as tho the fabricated footage that is released. Or how can you not suspect the manager for being up to something since in each episode he has deliberately tried screwing you over especially with all the smirking he does in the meetings (and as a president of the company... doesn't he find it suspicious that that this version of the recording is released just after discussing and who should be TL for the team?? like really now).

Each character is annoying in terms of just being so self absorbed and non nonsensical. I had high hopes but if things do not get better by episode 10 im dropping this series since right now my blood is boiling.

Only last episode ,I liked

Starting of the drama is good ,at very start they introduced the main character and their story but they had been taken 25 episodes to start the love story ,so because of this, story loose the connectivity. I like the sister and he brother story .
It has much similar story withGo Go Squid! But what's the difference that inGo Go Squid! ,Story and direction totally justified with the each character ,secondly everybody stick with the emotions as a player ,how player showed craze with the game and how felt bad when they loose the game ,and the passion of raising of once again but in this drama I really not found that much emotions . Secondly in Go Go Squid! ,They gave full space to love story but in this drama there was no such space . In this drama there was three love stories but they didn't give such space to each love story . Thirdly main character story didn't showed that he was too heartbroken with his first love ...and how he fell in love second time .
I am not satisfied with the story much ...

HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP GOALS, GAMING AND TRUE FRIENDSHIP

The main point of this drama is that even if the entire world looks down on you, you can still achieve your dreams. Not only your loved one, but friends are always supporting and motivating you to go through.
I REALLY REALLY LOVED Wang Yibo as Ji Xian Kong here, even more than in The Untamed or Legend of Fei. He is a reserved, controlled, harsh boy at the beginning, and then thanks to friends and Qiu Ying he mellows ans it shows a very caring attitude, strong feeling and a strong passion.
This is the only e-sports drama that really stole my heart, thanks to Wang Yibo.
He is a natural leader, but never imposing or controlling. Yibo's acting is natural, perfect, and he has a lot in common with his character ( first of all, love for motorcycles).
Wang Zixuan as Qiu Ying was criticised a lot, but i loved her characters. She is a rather immature gurl at the beginning, strong but yet too submissive. She deals with every problems she has to fight, but she is not alone. I liked her strong-willed character and her growth in a very mature girl.
They boyt have a mature acting.
I want to highlight the relationship between Qiao Xin and Qi Yue. Yes, they are mostly annoying, but two negative characters that are able to support each other even in negative ways.
The cast is full of characters that you can't help but love. Xia Ling and his growth, Pei Xi, Summer-ge.
The plot is full of real topics, first of all the gaming setting. E-sports is developed like a real sport where the society have to buy them.
The series presents even a realistic development of working life, from gaming to reporters.
"The most burning adventure", the opening by Wang Yibo, is so catchy and so wonderful that you can't avoid it. I LOVED IT.
I cried a lot when Phoenix was founded, and at the ending. They were heartwarming scenes.
I loved it because it's a perfect mix between gaming scenes and relationships with character devlopment. Gaming scenes are set perfectly and not boring like in the majority of e-sports dramas.
The main leads struggle to achieve their dreams, but never give up and built a true love relationship and true friendship. This drama is not only gaming or only romance.
For me, it's the best e-sports drama hands down, and it's a pity that Wang Yibo is mostly knows because of The Untamed because of the popularity of the brand.
Yibo really shines in Gank your heart, and we can see a glance of the true Wang Yibo in Ji Xian Kong.
PHOENIX FOREVER

Their first meeting was a disaster but their love is sweet. This line almost sold it for me.

It was in the description that their first meeting was a disaster but their love is sweet. This line almost sold it for me.

But I decided to drop the show by around episode 7 or 8. Nothing happened still, nothing but their disastrous meeting. I don't like ML who's almost cruel to FL no matter the instances.

I have nothing to say regarding the FL, there's not much of her story yet. Slow phased almost to the point of laziness. Actors were new faces to me, but it was OK. OST is also good. Maybe its just not for me. Re watch opportunity is not possible seeing that I dropped the show.

Don't let this drama pass you by!

Started watching this because of Wang Yibo after The Untamed and I must say that It's one of the BEST Asian Dramas I've watched in a long time.
I can't understand why I don't see more of this drama on social media. I admire the Friendship, Teamwork and Romance depicted in it.
Yibo's acting is just mind-blowing, really in Love with him.
All the actors and actresses are also good at acting. They all did fantastic job.
I recommend this so much! I just can’t get over it!!
This gonna be my favorite C-drama of all time after The Untamed.
Watching each episode thrice.

Главная героиня не тупая)

Yaaa Bolehlah

Madam agak telat nonton ini, seri ini keluar di tahun 2019 tapi Madam baru nonton di tahun 2021.
Setelah lihat nilai rating seri ini lumayan tinggi dan setelah nonton Go Go Squid & Falling in to Your Smile Madam jadi punya ekspektasi yang tinggi. Madam memang suka banget tema-tema E-Sport gini karena paket lengkap ML & FLnya pasti gemas, cerita pertemanannya 1 timnya pasti bikin iri dan deg-degan pas pertandingannya juga bikin kita lupa kalo ini cuma film bukan pertandingan beneran ;)

Ternyata Madam lumayan kecewa sama jalan ceritanya. Karena banyak konflik yang berulang dan tokoh jahat yang sinetron banget. Seperti waktu Mi Ya yang pura-pura buta di episode-episode akhir itu lumayan bikin mood down karena fokus ke world finalnya jadi bercabang. Penyelesaiannya konfliknya pun cenderung dipaksakan, tiba-tiba Mi Ya sadar kalau memang Qiu Ying yang lebih mengenal Xiang Kong yang sekarang, dimana waktu konflik pertama Mi Ya pun sudah sadar hal itu pas denger Qiu Ying saat final jadi komentator.

Walaupun begitu Madam cukup suka dengan tokoh Pei Xi yang lawak dan dikira dari awal bakal dikira jadi rival malah sebenarnya ngefans berat sama Xiang Kong sampe rela jadi apa aja yang penting deket sama Xiang Kong (tapi dah dikasih clue sih pas dia kasih strawberry cake ekstra strawberry buat Xiang Kong dan Qiu Ying :p)

Overall cukup menyenangkan untuk ditonton kalo lagi santai. Silakan dicoba ~
