First thing I'd like to say: This was a must-watch and I strongly encourage people to give it a try. If you enjoy eSports and gaming then this is right up your alley. This explores the world of gaming and eSports in a way I haven't seen before while also offering good characters with well-thought out personalities and backstories. So, as I said before, give it a watch!
Firstly, the production was phenomenal and credit must be given where credit is due. The in-game locations and characters were rendered in detail beautifully and feel fully fleshed-out and realistic. The use of motion capture tech for the characters was put to use effectively and made the in-game movement and action scenes feel fluid and exciting. The fight sequences themselves were well choreographed and made for captivating and suspenseful scenes.
I must applaud the casting decisons made by the producers for this show and unashamedly say that I love the actors and actresses they decided on for each role. Particularly the mains. Yang Yang as Ye Qiu was a flawless pick and I can imagine no else better suited to play this cool, calm and collected eSports legend. PLUS, the fact that they had the original voice actor for the anime provide his philosophical and deep voice... A match made in heaven. Flawless work. Enough said. Lai Yu Meng, who played Su Mucheng, was also a phenomenal pick. Even if she wan't the first pick, she filled in the role and fulfilled it so well so I give her a double thumbs up for the life she brought to her character. I loved seeing her act bubbly and pouty to Ye Qiu, which was hilarious for me to see their chemistry. Daisy Li as Tang Rou fit her character to a T. The confidence, the arrogance as well as a more softer side... she did it all and it was done well. I loved her dynamic with Ye Qiu and yes, I did hope for some romance there but it seems all we'll see is her VS Ye Qiu in never-ending fights until she wins. ( However my ship still stands ). Maggie Jiang as Chen Guo was easily a good choice. Being a bossy bos, her interactions with everyone, but Ye Qiu especially, being brave and joyful as well as showing her more emotional and vulnerable side, it was just all around good acting.
The rest of the extensive cast, whether as primary or secondary characters, were also done perfectly and fit their respective roles without fail. The cast felt real and I thoroughly enjoyed watching everyone in this show. No complaints.
The music, even though it was limited to a few songs, were all great listens. The opening song was enough to get me pumped to play games. When the show wanted to be emotional, there was music for that as well to tug your heartstrings and give you the feels. When the show wanted to get you pumped, there was music to keep you on your toes and keep your eyes glued to your screens.
The plot, while simply, was enough to keep me enthralled and wanting more even after finishing all 40 episodes. I want season 2 immediately so iQiyi, please make it happen and soon.
As a sidenote, I love that this show is getting recognition for gaming in China and I hope that mores shows like this will be made.
Season 2 soon pls
