I’ve been waiting a long time to find something as good as Love o2o. This comes close.

As soon as they got together he couldn’t seem to keep his hands off of her. I don’t know how he lasted as long as he did.

I think this drama wasn’t really focused on the hardships the characters went through to get on the team or on the hardships faced winning. It was more focused on how much family, fans social media, rivalry with other players, and relationships effect players. And I liked that because it was coming from a unique aspect of e-sports. I never really thought much about how fans could hurt a team. Or how social media could be turned against a player to hurt them. This drama wasn’t really about winning like most e-sports dramas. It was about how much pressure and abuse gamers must endure.

She had just joined the team and was still learning how things work. Being a newcomer she was still unsure of herself. He was a long time pro. It’s like a senior in college challenging a freshman to a duel. He had way more knowledge and experience and beat someone much younger and inexperienced than himself. And he beat her using the character she always chooses and she’s supposed to be best at. He purposely did that to humiliate her. Then he posted it online for the whole world to see which humiliated her even more. I totally understand why she was so upset. He was purposely bullying her to shake her confidence in herself.

I was thinking she meant ‘see you next year’ when they win the championship again next year. But a second season would be great!

I always give those reviews a thumbs down and click on the ‘not helpful’ button so people know it’s a bad review. Too bad those people can’t leave her alone. I liked her acting and loved the drama.

Thanks I’ll check it out. I think people don’t realize that the character she played in this drama is a more reserved and serious type of person. She’s very focused on her career and proving that women can be just as good at e-sports as men. She’s not your typical bubbly perky female lead like you normally see in cdramas. But if people would better understand the character she’s portraying is a bit more stoic they would understand and appreciate her acting better.

I just did a review that talks about this. There are a lot of kisses. The man can’t keep his hands off of her once they become a couple.

I think she’s very pretty. She was attractive enough to be chosen to be an idol in China. And China has very high standards in beauty and only chooses really attractive people to be idols.

There’s also a lot of gaming fans from China that really disliked how e-sports was portrayed in this drama that are dissing it too. There was a big controversy over this in China and it got poor ratings from the gaming community over there. All of the negative comments about the FL acting, saying certain actors aren’t attractive, etc. are probably coming from the gaming community too. I noticed a lot of the negative comments are coming from new accounts. It’s too bad because this was a really good drama. I would say it’s way above average.

After reading the comments and reviews I wasn’t sure if I should watch it. I’m glad I did. If Love o2o and Go Go Squid had a love child it would be Falling Into Your Smile. It has aspects of both of these dramas. It’s rare to find a drama that has very little angst yet is still interesting. There's no love triangles, no breakups, no mean parents, no scheming second leads, and the main leads actually communicate with one another instead of misunderstanding each other all the time. It was refreshingly different and I loved it. The female lead was so different from what you normally see in a cdrama. She wasn’t the typical perky, upbeat, outgoing but naive cute little girl like you usually see. Instead, she was more reserved, serious, and focused on her career. So her lack of smiles and cute facial expressions might be misunderstood as poor acting. But in reality, it’s how her character is written. If you realize that she’s portraying a more serious stoic type of character then you’ll enjoy her acting like I did. I’m glad I didn’t let a few negative comments about her acting keep me from watching it. It’s actually a really good drama that I would highly recommend.

I didn’t know she had another drama coming out. I’ll have to go check it out.

I would definitely watch another drama with her in it. I liked her character and her acting.

I’ve seen some bad acting in dramas and hers isn’t bad. She’s not amazing but she’s not bad either.

I agree. I went into it expecting the female lead to be stiff and awkward after reading some comments about her. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked her. There wasn’t anything wrong with her facial expressions or acting. And I’ve been watching dramas for many many years and I’ve seen some awful dramas with terrible acting. This isn’t one of those dramas. My advice to any potential watchers out there is to give the drama a try. It’s really good and the whole cast are great actors.

In the beginning I loved all of the dramas I watched because it was so fresh and new to me. But after many years of binge watching dramas I’ve become pickier about what I watch. You get tired of the same old storylines and cliches. I just started watching Falling Into Your Smile and I really like it so far. Very interesting right from the start. It reminds me a lot of Go Go Squid. It’s been a while since a drama really excited me like this one. I hope it continues to be good and lives up to my expectations. I’ll do a review e we hen I finish it. But so far I’d highly recommend it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt this way. So many reviews praised it as one of the best dramas this year. So when I watched it I was surprised at its numerous flaws. The sad thing is that this drama could have been amazing if they had just made a few changes. But so many characters weren’t well fleshed out so the story fell a little flat. It’s sad too because the storyline had such great potential and the actors we’re amazing. I’m glad I watched it but I was left wishing it had reached its full potential. Thanks for your comment. I feel a little better about my thoughts on the drama.

I watched it years ago but never got around to reviewing it. I’m watching it again right now and just felt compelled to do a review since it’s so good. I have to agree with you about the healthy part. I didn’t realize how many times he emphasized that her being healthy was important to him. Numerous times he said she was the sexiest when she was healthy. And when he took her to meet his “ideal woman” and it was a Jiu Jitsu expert, I was so touched by his explanation. When he said a strong woman that could defend herself was sexy to him, I had so much respect for him.

I agree I rated it an 8 too. Jdrama’s are shorter, things move along quicker, and they’re a lot spicier so they aren’t exactly what people are expecting compared to other Asian dramas. I think that’s why they rate it lower, because it’s so different. I’ve come to enjoy the differences. I’m so tired of dramas with constant misunderstandings, leads that don’t communicate, and waiting at least 10 episodes for a kiss. I found it refreshing that the leads communicate well, they trust each other, and we got a kiss on the first episode. I found it unique and refreshing.
