To each love story an ending of its own
Have you hit a phase of the more mature, less cliché, romance storylines? Are you looking for a variety of couple plotlines and don't mind some second hand embarrassment and cringe that's just as enjoyable? Then this drama is for you!This drama was hard to completely get into for me, but I loved the little love lessons you would get each episode. The storylines of a range of couples gets picked up near the end, and although its rushed, I don't mind. The plotline development is not necessarily new, but it has its own charm in showing us the downsides and negatives of breakups while also what goes on after.
It's an 8/10 from me moreso about just appeal and personal preferences - to each their own and if you're like me, watch this while doing something else on the side (like crocheting) to avoid getting too embarrassed at times for the leads.

GENERAL GIST:
Unlike King's Avatar and Love O2O, this drama surprisingly puts a realistic perspective to what happens behind the scenes in E-sports. In addition to its romantic aspect, it delves into the bonds and friendships in players of teams in this sport. Furthermore there is the focus on the hardships they face in being part of an industry that has grown over the years.
STORY:
There were a lot of shocks and I'd say the development wasn't complete in many instances. I was hoping for more development on some parts of the story which they tended to skip to instead. However overall, it builds well and ends well.
ACTING/CAST:
If you're someone that looks for good acting and good chemistry in the main couple as well as the side characters, you've come to the right drama. In addition to looking great, the characters worked well together. From the very matches in the games, the players communicating as they played, to the main leads building their relationship, it flows well in my opinion.
MUSIC:
I usually don't tend to focus much on music, and I think most times the C-dramas I watch don't focus much on this aspect. So in this case, its at a minimal and used when needed - doesn't interfere with too many important parts.
REWATCH VALUE:
I honestly don't know but I'd say I might rewatch this in the future? But its 35 episodes that are 40 minutes each. And they end on many suspenses. So personally I would take a full day of binging for this.
OVERALL:
I love a great chemistry in the Main couple. And I love ones that seem so natural you understand and relate, as well as understanding the story as a whole. The villains weren't too much, and for an overdramatic person like me this drama seemed perfect because I love going on about side characters and interference.
Nonetheless, I'd anyday recommend this drama, even if you're not an E-sports or video game kind of person. This drama makes life simpler for you and following through with what goes on is pretty easy too ^^

Not only does it have 3 strong female leads, their individual relationships as well as the way their actions intertwine is absolutely amazing. You don't have things focused on one entire couple, nor do you have too much screen time on just the male leads.
You have three stories. Three empowering experiences.
The injustice, the tension in their conflicts, it all builds up and makes the watcher nervous themselves. I was amazed at how intricate and well filmed everything has been, and I applaud the chemistry that has evolved between all of the cast.
TB to their dissing moments, and I definitely recommend this drama, as in my opinion it showcases a different style, and different view to the world of work.
