Falling Into Your Smile

I actually had a good time watching this! I wasn't expecting to be this entertaining after I got a bit disappointed with Go Go Squid, in this one characters actually have personality.

They rely heavily on the egames and the matches and they actually show you parts of the live action and the fights which I thought I was going to hate but I actually found myself looking forward for them! I thought it was very well done animation and it doesn't get repetitive or boring at all.

It's a very simple, lighthearted drama with nothing too overwhelming or dramatic but that's probably what most people look for when they just want to spend a nice time watching something sweet.

To be honest, i didn't expect anything when i first started this drama, i heard many c- netizens complained about this drama even before this drama aired, but i still tried to watch it because of the male lead Xu Kai. And thanks god i made the right decision, it turned out this is the best modern drama of this year so far. They deliver us With the best chemistry between 2 leads, a refreshing e-sport gamer with animation combination , a comedy romance that makes us laugh and heart-melting as well. We're eagerly waiting for each episodes to be aired. This is really a great light hearted comedy romance drama.

I think the message of this drama was told pretty good. The e-sports community needs recognition. Is not only people playing videogames. For some people is an occupation, a job, their dream. They want to pursue e-sports as a way of making a living. Before this drama I didn't know that e-sports was so important for some people.

I think that this drama is not only a love story. The drama shows that never is to late to make a dream come true and that you can do a lot of things related to e-sports no only play. It shows the struggles of people that want to pursue e-sports as a job and don't having support by their families, friends, lovers, etc. We know that for most people, e-sports are not a "real job".

I, a person who didn't know a lot of e-sports, recognize that probably the drama doesn't recreate their world perfectly, but it shows that people in it have worries. They have difficulties, they have fears. It shows how humans they are and I think it's important and validated cause sometimes we don't value their dreams and we take them as fools for wanting something different.

Besides that, I totally loved the romance. They aren't perfect but I think that Lu Si Cheng and Tong Yao don't have a toxic relationship and seeing that in a drama this days, is awesome.

The only thing is that I didn't like the role of Fatty or Chubby, the support guy. I don't like that they make fun of him for eating, and they make him eat all the time. Idk. It doesn't feel right watching them in the drama making fun of him for being "fat" or "eating too much".

Besides that, is a good drama, is easy to watch and enjoyable. I really want a second season. Fingers crossed.

I absolutely love this drama❤Totally recommend to watch❤ Its a kind of drama where you will not be bored even after rewatching 100 times.

I was a bit surprised when I read that Chinese audiences disliked the show when it premiered because honestly this is a fantastic lighthearted show about a falling in love while doing what she loves. I'm so over Dramas that are melodramatic and this was perfect for people like me that just wants some happiness. Now let me further elaborate the great things this show does.

-----Acting----- Every single actor in this show is fantastic. Especially the leads. I never feel as if they're phoning it in or they're their real life selves rather than the characters they are playing. The characters feeling genuine might have helped as well.

-----Characters---- For the most part, every character (even if not shown with the most screen time) has their own quirks or personality traits. And lesser characters still shine due to the great actors portraying them. The main leads in particular are fascinating to watch because they both have very individualistic or proud personalities but different ways of showing them which plays well with their dynamic when interacting with one another. Speaking of which, their chemistry is breathtaking and at the level I've only seen in the 'Intense Love' series.

----Story---- The story isn't revolutionary but it's the execution in which it plays out that makes it a very addicting watch. It's similar to a fish out of water scenario mixed with a rise to power story in a sense( Mixed in with romance throughout). Again, this wouldn't be as good as it is without the well defined characters interacting with each other believably to their own personalities. The story also doesn't make characters do ridiculous things for the sake of drama. They only do what their characters would naturally do, which makes them feel like real people that live in china rather than from a TV show. That's very difficult for dramas to do properly and makes the show ever more admirable.

------Conclusion------ This show is utterly fantastic so far and I hope many more people watch this show. It's not just the aspects above that are fantastic but the cinematography, animation and editing that feel very professional and done with care. Watch this show. You won't regret it.
