Here I am after finishing 'Gank Your Heart' in the middle of my 12th Boards Viva. I'm not gonna rant today and will just list the things I liked and disliked in this show.


Things I liked :

» I really liked that they showed international championships in this one. I think I've watched most of the E-Sports C-Dramas and this is the only one that shows International stage.

» Pei Xi : ohh Pei Xi...( sighing with content ) I can write a whole page about him. He was the star of the show for me. He was an introvert star player in the show who grows as a person and learns about teamwork with time. At first I thought he's gonna be the typical 2nd lead : woo Qiu Ying, but what a plot twist he was for me. No, it's not like *plot twist* plot twist, you get what I mean right? And his smile is just so sweet. Me being an introvert I get this character, sometimes we want to make friends, to get to know people, but don't know how. We get lonely, but still prefer to stay alone. Pei Xi was the biggest fanboy of Xiang Kong that he offered to fake date Ying so that Kong's training won't be disturbed. And his moments with Xia Ling were so satisfactory. He was a great friend, a great team member, and everything good. I'll stop here. I was going to drop this show around 26th episode, but I didn't just because of Pei Xi.

» I really liked the moments when Oiu Ying stood up for herself. Even if she's not a spy or heiress or a female CEO or something, she was strong as a woman and didn't let people walk all over her. Even if I didn't like her in the first few episodes as all she did was just cry cry and cry, I warmed up to her.

» Luo Tian was a great mentor and friend to Qiu Ying. I knew he liked her ! But i was a little sad that he didn't confess, but i get it, he knew Qiu Ying wouldn't accept him as she just saw him as a mentor/teacher and friend. He was happy to see her happy.

» shoutout to Shu Wen, Summer, Sun Ze Yi and Lin Yi Xuan. They were great supports.


Things I didn't like :

» oh Xiang Kong, how much will you hurt our Ying Ying? He clearly has low EQ. In the last few episodes were just - I don't even know how to write it. I get it, before ex, Mi Ya is your childhood bestie. She doesn't have any family so you're talking care of her. But that doesn't mean you gonna ignore Ying Ying now !

» the matches : the main element of an E-Sports drama is E-Sport matches. But after watching dramas like YAMG, FIYS, TKA, GGS, GGS2, LS, I had so much expectations from this one. But this drama didn't even reach the half of it in this case. I didn't fill the thrill, the excitement - just nothing. I think i only watched the Finale match in last episode and skipped others.


Conclusion :

I admit, I watched till end just because of Pei Xi. The last episode was full of everything, but still felt a little you know empty to me. Like there was no WOW factor. Will i watch it again? Never. Did I dislike this show? Of course not. But did i like it? Definitely no.



PS : oh I did rant again.
