awww I LIKE THISSSS had this on my list since the trailer came out but never got in the mood to watch it until now. these 8 episodes alone are pulling up the standard of the C-drama industry. think sundance quality (wouldn't be as bold to say a winner, but I feel like it could enter) but its chinese. the story is predictable and has been told before but what isn't nowadays? execution makes all the difference and they executed it perfectly. I also think 8 eps was the perfect length idk how to explain it!! when has any drama ever been the perfect length?? you could've squeezed the storyline into a movie but it wouldn't an enjoyable, chill pace.
A+++ acting, production (for a modern chinese drama), editing, story pacing, song choices, etc.
I've always wondered why I liked Go Go Squid so much (I've rewatched like 3 times LOLL) I don't like the flashback scenes (I skip over) and I skip most gaming scenes but I still really love this drama. This time that I rewatched I finally figured it out. The acting/chemistry of the leads *and* all the side characters and the OST. There was also no backstabing or major angst in that way...but the storyline was still substantial enough It's just an overall feel-good drama. Romance is cute, bromance is hillarious, winning is exhilarating, backstory is nostalgic. It's a good combo
haha just wrote a reviewno angst! romance feels a bit slow at times (given context) but there's no doubt they'll…
no breakups and there was a love triangle but it's not as angsty/backstabbing as some other dramas. I would say its the typical "FL treats SML is a brother even though SML likes FL" storyline that ends with them still being friends
TBH I don't like Online Gaming Dramas Should I Watch This ..??Is There Too Much This Drama Stick On Gaming Part…
no breakups TBH I skip over gaming scenes HAHA so my perception might be skewed the amount of gaming scenes might be comparable to Gank Your Heart though? It's definitely not as much as Kings Avatar or even Love O2O The game is FPS and played by the real actors though (not animated characters)
the ml did great but i wasn't really a fan of his character..fl's acting is still lacking..there was some things…
mmm it also didn't make sense to me that they didn't seem to practice much. Especially ML as the captain, there's no way you can go into a competition without having at least a few days of group training. It mostly seemed like single training though (and ML didn't participate). Idk how it is in real life but other dramas show them practicing a whole lot more (although admittedly those are the scenes I skip over)

*officially* I think it was ep 16 or something like that but honestly I thought they were together a few eps before that (I only realized that they weren't official when he confessed LUL)
Cute, light. Honestly it's like a cross-over of almost all of the e-sports dramas LOL
(start of with the OG) Love O2O: online friends, ML knows who FL is first
The Kings Avatar: a new start-up team being led by a legendary player. FPS game
Gank Your Heart: start of story is that FL needs ML to lead her in a game (also in and Love Scenery and You Are My Glory, if you count those gaming but not pro league dramas). Covers the topic of some toxic behaviors of some teams/arrogant individuals. SPOILER: GYH also has a period of start-up and FL being a manager.
Go Go Squid: FL is an online celebrity-ish but is in school (although GGS FL is in grad school); ML is an older/legendary player (although GGS ML is retired already). There is some return out of retirement secondary character (iykyk).
Falling Into Your Smile: ML personality is sooo alike...serious but playful to those close to him; flirty to FL only and easily gets jealous. Also, main CP is in the same team. IMO, I like Out with a Bang's CP more though...feel like they match more (can you tell, I wasn't a fan of FIYS FL at all)
I have dropped soooo many dramas this year, even some with big names but this drama is really amazing. The writers…
oh wow thanks for this comment. I'll look forward to watching once all eps drop. I've been dropping so many dramas this year too. I can't tell it's just cause last year was really good or if this year is just really bad
S2 raws up to ep 8 dropped today. and I think 2 eps every Tues, Wed, Thurs after that (although I'm not sure if there will be more eps this week) according to duboku I think I'll wait till S2 completely drops to watch this
ahhh watched again and it did not disappoint 💯💯the whole crew's acting...just so natural. they seemed like…
I always remembered this being a really great drama and forgot why it wasn't on my top 5 of 2021...there were a lot of good releases in 2021 and the ending was...not as good as the rest of the drama (it was more of a slice-of-life note)
oof I paused this show because I was waiting for it to fully release. Thought I was half way (feels like I'm half way) but I'm only 10 eps in? oof not a good sign
the comedy and production/post-production is GOLDDD
video quality and editing reminds me of 2013

but acting is decent (ML is pretty good...I've watched him in another drama before too)

I guess I'll at least finish the first ep
I think I'll wait till S2 completely drops to watch this
