'Lucky Star' as a title is better for a typical modern rom-com cdrama imo...
Given chinese censorship it's highly likely to be a bromance instead of rom-com.
But given the nature of the luck differential between Hua Cheng and Xie Lian, it kinda makes sense as a title, since as a title it's referring to a part of their relationship.
Maybe this aspect is what the script will focus on?
Chen Guo is perhaps only average intelligence, but is definitely still strong and independent!
The Golden Princess of Guild Excellent Dynasty is that kind of male leeching female player that other female players tend to hate. The 'male leeching' behaviour means I wouldn't describe her as being 'independent'. But then, she's only a part of the story. A very very small part, just like her very very small personality. (/virtual bitchslap to the Golden Princess ;D)
I feel like his hair had too much gel or just product, it looked crispy
lol that scene just after the season 8 All Stars incident, when he woke up without anyone having woken him up for his shift ... so funny.
Don't forget, he's a gaming dweeb who's close to 25 without a (known) girlfriend who's been hiding away from society because of the fake ID issue. It's possible that he simply hasn't put enough effort into researching aesthetic grooming standards a potential human mate might desire.
With the amount of research effort he puts into his pro gaming career, I'm pretty sure if he ever became focussed on hooking up for the long term he'd be BOSS at it.
i really am not liking chen guos character/actor, i cant tell if its because i dont like the actor or if its the…
You shoulda seen the striped slacks they made her wear in the anime.
Ugh.
They made her somewhat ditzy in the live series. In the novel she's roughly average intelligence (possibly slightly higher than average, I mean she is able to run a business and manage her staff after all), but still quick to anger. However that anger is simply a reflection of her passionate nature. She's a passionate and loyal fan to Su Mu Cheng (and also Ye Qiu), and has certain ethical standards regarding the degree of shamelessness people should not be using when playing Glory. Standards which Ye Xiu has no compunction with dropping below, should he encounter an opponent who is just as shameless.
If you're only up to 11, then I think in earlier chapters/episodes she comes across as a bit of an asshole both because of her easy anger and because, since she doesn't know just who Ye Xiu is, she assumes he is a some what of an arse because of some of the (justifiably) arrogant things he says.
If she's irritating you this degree, try to keep this thought in mind : he clearly had no skill to be hired as a network manager in an internet cafe. She hired him purely because he's good at Glory, and she loves Glory. She didn't even fire him when he screwed up. Because she loves Glory.
I think that's a big tick in her favour as a character. The anger can be linked to her passion for Glory, so then that also can be accepted. Just IMHO.
You mean, Ye Xiu the e-sports player? hahaha anyway YES!!!! If S2 is confirmed and produced with the same cast,…
To a degree I agree.
However, every now and then I find myself thinking about the strong kinda sibling-ish relationship they have. Ye Xiu clearly stepped into the older brother breach when Su Mu Qiu passed. They're not true siblings, so it doesn't preclude a romantic relationship. But just because they're very close it doesn't mean their relationship has to be romantic.
Because of this, I ship Su Mu Cheng with Huang Shao Tian a little (he's a little flirty with her - just a little), as well as thinking that the familiarity Ye Xiu has with Chu Yun Xiu is perhaps just a little closer than can be explained by knowing your enemy well, so I ship them a little too.
...and then I tell myself off for needing to find romance somewhere in every story.
In the Novel, is the fact that Ye Xiu and Ye Qiu are twin brothers ever revealed to the public or the other captains?…
My recollection is that it was only shared with the team members who join prior to the Challenger League finale (ie Wei Chen, Wu Chen) because they need to have the discrepancy directly explained to them when they join so they don't confuse the Happy internet staff with the Xiu/Qiu thing. I don't think Steamed Bun is ever really bothered to ask. (Is he ever really bothered by anything?) Tang Rou finds out with Chen Guo at the season 8 All Stars incident. The other young team members (Luo Ji, An Wenyi, Qiao Yifan) just seem to take his private/public name difference in stride without explanation.
At the start of the Challenger League finals when they're settling into the hotel, the Excellent Era management and the Alliance come to the hotel to press Ye Xiu on the name issue and the twin brothers thing is explained to them directly (Chapter 961 onwards). That young Esports Home reporter who follows the team around is also present at the meeting, but he keeps mum about it to the public at their request.
The Alliance chairman leaves it to the Excellent Era and Happy people to sort through, as his weak heart can't put up with dealing with it.
The Excellent Era management are bothered by it, because it means their 3-peat Alliance cups could potentially be at risk, since Ye Xiu was using a fake id when he was in the team that won those years. So they go and do their usual dastardly PR leak, suggesting that Ye Qiu was Ye Xiu's online name only, and simultaneously implying that he had some nefarious intent in doing so.
From then on everyone else (including the other captains) just seem to accept the Ye Qiu/Ye Xiu thing without seeming to challenge it. Even Fang Rui.
From the cast list it looks like he won't be back. I am fine with it either way- his portrayal of his character…
I've read the book and knew that last scene in the series was a departure from it. I'm actually quite excited about that. I found the book became more and more boring as it went on. I don't think that tv adapations of novels have to always be devoted to the exact plot of the originating work, so long as it keeps the sense or heart of the original story. In fact I think the tv adaption of this series was even better than the original work in it's embracing of the literal 'joy of life' in various individual scenes. If anything, I'd really like it if the series took the plot line of 'the temple' and embellished it a whole lot more on a science fiction level. The temple's story resolution in the novel was big let down just IMHO.
A group actually organised just to deliberately target XZ?
Wow.
You get by day by day thinking people just be people, but every now and then people be doing some crazed shit that makes you realise just how low the depths of humanity can exist.

I kinda liked his portrayal of Yan Binyun because it was as cold-hearted and abrupt as the character in the novel. What I had difficulty with was whatever going on with his eye makeup.
I dislike having the feeling of continuity in the story disrupted by replaced actors (unless the initial role holders were really horrible), so I'm hoping he comes back for s2.
I'm really concerned about the whole 'nearly murdered him' thing though. Hadn't heard about that. What happened?
... Standing in the midst of a crowded town marketplace, in a area controlled by an opponent they were recently at war with, while wearing their foreign clothing... Rou Rou: "It was my fault. I shouldn't have got drunk and spoken carelessly." ...the General spots one of his wife's kidnappers and goes chasing after him... Rou Rou: "GENERAL! GENERAL!!" ...thereby letting anyone in marketplace who cares to know about it who they likely are.
lol
Sometimes you just gotta love stupid characters and go with the flow.
They have to keep the giant battling Xie Lian sculpture in. They just have to!

I'm unfamiliar with asian languages so I don't know whether it's more correct to separate 2nd and 3rd names, or to link them together.
Ie. Su Mu Cheng, or Su Mucheng
Also, do chinese names have a 'middle' name like english names, that is usually just left out?
An english example Mary Kate Smith would be usually just introduced as Mary Smith.
If chinese names do have a 'middle' name which might be dropped off, which is it? The 2nd or last listed name?

Why does this series give me the feeling that it's just one sex scene away from being firmly categorised as a porno?

Also, he was a standout in Maiden Holmes IMHO.
