Great cast, great story

This is a heartwarming love story between an emotionally wrecked and jaded 30 year old fallen hero of the esport arena known as CTF (capture the flag) and a 21(?) year old female computer genius whose sunny disposition slowly brings his heart back to life.
The ML, known for being a fierce, scary and demanding boss, heads up a gaming team called K&K where he mentors a group of young men and ‘bullies’ them to become the best of the best (but they all worship and adore him).
The FL is a child prodigy studying IT at university who also makes money from a sideline in singing and she is known as Baby Squid by her many fans.
Obviously there is a happy ending but along the way several broken relationships get fixed as the ML comes to terms with his past and the fallout that occurred.
I loved the chemistry between the characters and the forgiveness and healing that occurs and an added bonus is that the K&K team provide plenty of very funny, chaotic and playful moments especially as they are the front row audience as the clumsy and adorable love story develops. (By the way the building they operate out of is fantastic- I would love to work in this space where the kids can get to the ground floor down firemen’s poles or slides!)
Would I watch this again? Absolutely

UPDATE:

Wanted something light hearted to watch again and I’m so glad I chose this drama. I’d forgotten how funny the main characters were as they stumbled into love with each other. He’s totally non-plussed by her and she’s just so in love with him that she forgets to think like a rational human being so there’s plenty of chances for humour (plus team K&K is made up of children who’s subtly levels are that of a low flying piano) and the script writers must have had a field day writing this. At certain points, how any any acting took place is anyone’s guess as the scenes were hilarious and so innocent.
Bravo, please note, I’ve upped the overall score from 9 to 9.5 😍
