His mother set the blind date for him. He went to it and told the girl that they aren't suitable (rejected her). She also didn't want to go on a blind date but after she saw how handsome he was she changed her mind. Someone made a joke about her being his fiancee. I think his brother because he was the one to give out the wechat.
No break up and his mother never met Tong Yao. However she liked her when she finally found put he had a GF.

He was 25.

In the novel someone just said fiancee as a joke. She was a blind date that his mom set up and after she saw him she decided that she could date him. But was rejected from the get go. They never broke up.
But these dramas like to make unnecessary conflict so maybe she will be more annoying.

I find some of the changes from the novel to the drama are very unnecessary.
1. Her mother was the one who convinced her to join the team. So why make her mom so resistant to it.
2. Mings retirement announcement was in between the gaming rounds and nobody knew about it.
3. Tong Yao had already made up her mind when she got to the match and Mings announcement made it more settled in her mind.
3. The ex does not go to the bar. Ai Jai would have never called him.
4. But the biggest one for me is K. He does not have a problem with Tong Yao. So his coldness to her was so shocking to me.
So many more changes were made.

However I am enjoying this adaptation so I am not bothered to the extent that I would drop the drama. As all books (novels) to drama, tv shows, movies, series etc will not always go according to every detail. Script writers would have no job lol lol.

I keep thinking that the male lead expressions and actions does not look as serious and cold as in the love. Maybe because he has like a baby face and also he was very playful in Courtlady so that's what I am seeing. However I do think it will work well for the later part of the drama.
I think Tong Yao is a little more assertive.
These opinions do not take away from their acting as I think they are doing a good job. You cannot always portray every single thing from a novel to drama.

Would you like a me to tell you? This would be according to the novel.

No love triangle. That's just a scene with other gamers.

This isn't true. Just watching the 1st 2 episodes and I saw many changes. The order in which things happened, how she joined the team, her mother etc. But it's a good adaptation and the story is flowing so far.

So in ep 13 preview she dies.
I really need to know how the last 4 episodes will go.
I am enjoying this drama. It's not the best nor is it the worst.

Episode 13 and 14 was a wild ride.
Imagine the whole crew missed that kiss 😳😔.

So get over the female leads voice and don't get too caught up in the negative comments and just try it out for yourselves. As I think this story had a lot of great messages.
I will say I read the novel and it is great. The drama is a tamer than the book, but I still love it. 9.5/10.

Loved this drama for it's simple and sweet love between the main leads, but also between friends, brothers and parents.






I also loved how they showed Yu Yao a woman in the work place in a position of leadership but also the struggles she had as a mother and a wife.
I enjoyed the brotherhood between the Male leads and I do not think that the SML really liked Chu Li in a romantic manner. He just liked how different she was from Gu Bai Zhi at that low point in his life (her optimism). But it was nice when he told Zhou Chuan he liked him more.
Gu Bai Zhi was another woman how had to portray a prticular image in order to stay onto of the game. We see how condescending her boss was. Glad she quit.
Chu Li was a breath of fresh air with her boundless energy and sweet optimism but she was no push over and did not need Zhou Chuan to come to her aid all the time.
I think how the stories in the work place, the leads falling in love and all other issues were portrayed naturally and not overly dramatic.

I have waiting and searching for this summary.
Thanks.
