Sweet moments? - YES!!!

FALLING INTO YOUR SMILE initially interested me only because of the topic - e-sports. I don't even play as an amateur player, but in some way this topic is very close to me.

+ Plot had a rapid course and from the beginning the spirit of e-sports was feel in plot.
+ The characters were great and fun at the same time = they creat a good comedy.
+ Embarrassing situations put a smile on my face.
+ The romantic line started in an original way.
+ I really liked when players played the games and the watcher seemed to be transfer to the game, which made amazing impression to the whole drama.

- The end was a "cliché" because the drama ended the way that end most of dramas = non-original end.
- Sometimes I felt that the drama only prolonged with unnecessary moments.

Fun, Easy-Going, and Purely Entertaining

I started watching this drama with zero expectations as I'm not really a game fan, but the series turned out to be great with fluffy and cute romance, realistic plot, well-written dialogues. and interesting relationships between all the characters. The staff is stellar - I don't think I've seen so many attractive actors in one cdrama, and everyone plays great.

𓆩♡𓆪Romance𓆩♡𓆪
This is one of the fluffiest romance stories I've seen, but it's a slow-burner, so don't expect too much spiciness in the beginning, although, Lu Sicheng and Tong Yao do get in a variety of embarrassing situations that bring them closer together - so it's always entertaining to watch. I found myself giggling all the time, especially when their teammates witnessed something improper and were getting suspicious about the couple (poor Fatty was always witnessing something spicy and couldn't deal with it, it was too funny). Also, Lu Sicheng's character changes greatly as he falls in love - all his guards go down as he opens up to ML and then turns into the clingiest and sweetest boyfriend you'll ever see (but in a very endearing way). He really is 'Prince Charming' of e-sports, and proves to be a real gentleman (also, very hungry for kisses and touchy-touching). Xu Kai's performance is great here, I also think Cheng Xia fits the role perfectly. You will definitely love the amount of kissing this cdrama has, it does not disappoint in this regard.

𓆩♡𓆪Plot𓆩♡𓆪
I didn't know anything about e-sports, so I was learning along the way, watching the series just for entertainment. The producers did a really good job with animated pieces that look very cool and action-packed. Sometimes it was hard to follow who plays which character in the game, but it was exciting nonetheless. The cdrama focuses on the ups and downs of being an e-sports idol, having to deal with fans, rumors, and almost no personal life at all. And if you do get to have one, it will soon become a public matter discussed by everyone on the Internet. There are many issues discussed in the cdrama, so it has lots of quite serious undertones, which I personally loved. So it's not just another shallow romcom, this one has some pretty deep messages to convey.

𓆩♡𓆪Characters𓆩♡𓆪
I literally loved all of them - maybe they were written in a bit too perfect way, even the ex-boyfriend of FL is too sweet to be true, but I like to think that people like this exist and we all are human enough to be kind to each other even after the relationship is over. ML's character is very mature and he takes responsibility for almost everything as a leader (which does become a burden that is too heavy for only one man to carry, that issue is also discussed in the series). ML's best friend Jinyang is one of the coolest female characters ever - she's supportive, but always speaks the truth. She's straightforward and has a very strong character, it's impossible not to love her. I have to say all the characters were very interesting and the actors fully delivered while playing them.

𓆩♡𓆪Conclusion𓆩♡𓆪
It's a 10/10 for me, this cdrama just hit all the right spots with the great staff, amazing characters, engaging plot, and yummy romance. Definitely recommend!

Love, Support and Peace

The story concept is so fact for gamers like some people parents don't support just because its just a game but parents and surrounding people doesn't know what importance it has and gamers do have passion and vision to complete and make themselves proud and the contry they want to make proud .. This story makes me so happy like the actors are soooooo adorably cute and supportive to eachother even though i saw behind the scene they are so playful and funny and happy i love them all of them specially cheng xiao and xu kai i admire them a lot .. I m gonna miss this series 😭😭 lots of love and support to you guys stay blessed be happy don't get sick take care . Love love ✨🙌❤

This series is a must watch for the romcom lovers

Falling into your smile is just an overall cute and comedic drama, the chemistry between Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai was on point and brings the characters to life. This drama really works out for Cheng Xiao as her acting really improved from her previous dramas and Xu Kai was good as usual. The rest of the cast was great such as the chemistry between the 2nd lead couple and little fatty, old cat, and old K all had great chemistry with each other.

The OSTs were also a plus for me as Seventeen and Way V also released an ost alongside Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai.

The Plot was fine in my opinion the Cyberbullying situation was a nice twist as well.

I'll definitely put this into my rewatch playlist when I'm feeling down!!! Overall the Drama is a 9.8 for me

Another 10 for Xu Kai. Well, I am almost done watching all of his dramas. They are so worth it! There is one that I couldn't find, based on falling into the past and coming back to the future. Never mind about that, let's talk about this drama. I love the game dramas and this was exceptionally great. Xu Kai, man o man, these are the times that I wish to be reborn again as a female. I found the game online, I mean the real-life game, that they were playing in this drama. I love the characters. There is nothing more to say about Xu Kai that I have already expressed in the other KDrama that he is a part of. Cheng Xiao who played Tong Yao (love that name) was kind of fixed in her character. I guess the writer(s) wrote the character to be that way. oh well. Thanks to all the other actors/actresses for doing their part. I hope to see a sequel!

If you want to watch A LOT of on line gaming, this might be the one for you.

There were some cute things about this drama and it didn’t have a “typical” evil character, but, for me, this show was just too long and drawn out. There were so many scenes of the gaming battles that were just a waste of time. I get it, it’s a show about gaming, but come on! This show would have been so much better if they had done a better job of editing and decreased the episodes by half.
SCRIPT: The script was okay, but too long. Rather than the evil parent or the evil girlfriend, the evil in this show was social media. It really addressed the issues that pervade our society today, and how social media can not only make or break someone’s career, but can totally affect the way you see yourself. It was an effective hook, but it went on so long I wanted to tell the female lead to just turn off her phone. This script is more about gaming, some about friendships, and I would have to say that romance comes in third. The team friendships were fun to watch, and their responses to having a girl in their midst was amusing. The progression of them accepting her into their circle was handled in a realistic manner. I didn’t find the romance totally believable – the progression of this wasn’t written in the best way, and I felt that it wasn’t clear why they really liked each other. I did, however, appreciate that there wasn’t the obligatory time jump where they are separated for an extended period of time. The ending was very abrupt and unfulfilling.
ACTING: I thought that Xu Kai (as Lu Si Cheng) did very well. I didn’t see him as a “cold” character, but more as a driven and responsible leader for the team. He looked out for all of his teammates, he took his job seriously, and he was fair in his dealings. I've not seen Xu Kai in anything before. I'll have to keep an eye out for any contemporary dramas he might do in the future. He's done quite a few historical dramas, but they are not my cup of tea. Chen Xiao (as Tong Yao) was not impressive to me. First, the fact that her online name was Smiling made absolutely no sense. She hardly ever smiled. She spent an inordinate amount of time either looking surprised, confused, cranky or pouty. She seemed weak to me as well, placing so much value on the online comments and she let these comments affect how she dealt with Lu Si Cheng.
CHEMISTRY: Some very good kissing scenes that seemed realistic in the context of their relationship. I hate the shows that have the woman, even after admitting that she likes the man, act like she’s terrified to be touched by him. There were some hand-holding scenes that went well in line with the progression of their relationship as well. Secretly holding hands was a cute touch. Once they were a couple, I really liked his character. He was all-in on this relationship, while she seemed to be on the fence for quite a while. Xu Kai’s smiles alone are worth spending the time to watch this drama. There were a couple of episodes toward the end that were very sweet to watch.

Cute, but predictable

First off thumb up to the Cast, they are very good over all
including the side stories, but if you loved Go Go Squid and expected this to be atleast at par, it did in terms of the gaming aspect, it actually far exceeded the focus on E-sports and they did do an extensive focus on the game.
So if you are a gamer this is ptobably for you

But if you came here because you expect to see a cute love story ignite, well it fell short on that for me
The momentum just didnt reach its peak, and I think they were over compensating with a lot of kisses from the main FL and ML, which I dont mind but would have appreciated more moments building to the start of a relationship whichbis already at ep. 21 so.... past midway already!

Overall it was a good watch, but not the best

A must watch drama

GUYS YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO WATCH THIS DRAMA IT'S SO GOOD. It has become one of my absolute favorite chinese dramas. Everything from plot to cast, OST and all are perfect. No toxic friends, no toxic couples. The cast is too good and have good chemistry with each other, friendship is portrayed really well too. Normally in dramas, I don't watch every scene and fast forward some but in this one , even the most side characters are fun to watch lol. I have this dislike to second leads in order dramas, but here Yang is too cute and his scenes with Tong Yao are fun to watch as well. Tong Yao and Lu Si Cheng are adorable, have greatest chemistry, no cringe-worthy scenes or script (hope to see them working in another drama again)
I need season 2 but I know it's too late already

ONE OF THE CUTEST ROM - COM OF ALL TIME ...

A very wholesome drama that's filled with teamwork, friendship, romance and comedy! It is An eSports story yet sweet and not boring to watch ...
i started this because ML looks really iconic in this one and after completing the drama there are many butterflies left in my stomach and i do not even know how many times i have rewatched this drama ...

I love the chemistry between the main leads both on the drama and behind the scenes. The acting is flawless, ChengXiao improved a lot. This drama is really full of visuals.Lastly, the support roles, such as ZGDX members, God Ming, their manager, fl's best friend and bf all really made this drama very sweet not only in between the main leads but also in friendship. There is a spark of comedy in each episode.

THE MUSIC FOR THIS DRAMA IS TOP TIER. I loved every song. Seventeen made a song for the show, and I was so happy when I found out.

This drama is far from perfect and definitely has flaws, but for me, it was enjoyable and entertaining Chinese drama ...

The BEST Chinese drama I have ever watch!

This drama is a masterpiece. I dare not skip a second of this drama. Everything about this drama is just perfect.
The cast is awesome. Their acting feels very real. I'd love it if we get a Season 2 with the same cast.
The plot is perfect. This drama focuses a little more on romance than on the gaming but the gaming parts are also taken seriously. It also a lot of breaks stereotypes of the e-sports world which I love very much. The gaming parts are not boring at all and is very fun to watch at. There aren't any major misunderstandings in the drama which is also something that I like.
All the OST's of the drama are good and fit the scenes perfectly.
The is nothing disliking about the drama. The cast behind the scenes is also very funny and friendly.
Just go and watch it. This drama is not boring at all and is totally worth it!!

HELP! I CAN'T MOVE ON!

Trust me, this drama is PERFECT and worth to watch~

This is the first time I've found a drama with a perfect package.
Not only a light storyline, beautiful and handsome actors/actresses, but this drama also brings many unforgettable memories where viewers can feel sadness, happiness, the warmth of love, friendship, family, loyalty, passion, respect, sincerity and trust in each other. This drama contains sweetness and cuteness that definitely makes your stomach feel butterfly, lots of funny scenes, and most importantly NOT cringe at all.

Huft, I really wish there would be a season 2.
Hope this helps ^^
