Really wanted to love Gank Your Heart

How to start this review? Now- that is the real question.
I really wanted to love this drama. I've seen other gaming/esports dramas recently. They are newer but due to them, i did have some sort of standard. ( for example "Kings Avatar" and "Falling Into Your Smile") I also really enjoy and love Wang Yibo and his acting so i really really tried to enjoy and love this drama.
Unfortunately this drama was all over the place..

THE STORY:
Pretty standard youth story. Main characters face difficulties and grow from them. Ex gf comes back and wrecks havoc but all is well in the end. But the things i really disliked in this drama was the ex gf and how the manager of Team Legends got away with hurting Qiu Ying. Who knows what he would have done to her if Ji Xiang Kong wouldn't have followed his car. He was already sexually harrassing Qiu Ying. Yet all it took was a couple of punches and the problem got solved?! WHO WOULD NOT CALL THE COPS ON A GUY WHO JUST TRIED TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT YOUR CRUSH?! i did like the esports in this but was really disappointed how we didn't get to see the actual game play much- but i guess if they didn't have the budget for it.. I will be focusing on the romance part in this review since there really isn't much to say about the story itself.

THE MAIN LEAD, QIU YING:
At first i disliked her character since in the first episodes she already commited like three crimes. 1. Sneaking into backstage by stealing a pass. 2. She faked an injury by "getting hit by a car". and 3. Illegally filming in a bar that was supposed to be a "top bar".
I mean i'm used to these dramas having these types of crimes and usually it's fine but i mean all of these right from the start was just a little tiring to me, You know? "Please stop- dont embarrass yourself more..!" i found myself saying outloud..

After some time she grew and started to have dreams of her own and i was really liking her character more, she was acting more mature. Especially when Ji Xiang Kong's ex girlfriend Miya came back and she really put her foot down and said that it's between the two of them and that's their problem and to leave her out of it.

JI XIANG KONG
Now- I love Wang Yibo. It was really painful to see him act this character.
Ji Xiang Kong was a great friend, but the worst boyfriend. At first Qiu Ying and Ji Xiang Kong really hated each other and that part lasted a little bit too long for me, but fine- its a 35 episodes long drama. Then they slowly became friends and then i got excited to see how their relationship would grow from this- It didnt.. Yeah you could guess "oh- i guess its about time they start to have feelings for each other" but did it seem like they actually felt anything more than friendship toward each other? No. In the whole drama there were 2 kiss scenes. Other skinship? Yeah no- aside from like keeping his hand on Qiu Ying's shoulder.

Miya, his ex gf from 5 years ago comes back and the moment she came back, she texted Ji Xiang Kong to come meet her- ok i get it that she was important to him once and that at one point in the drama it was pretty clear he was still into Miya, buying her cds and telling Qiu Ying to stop imitating Miya (When all she literally did was do a dance cover to one of her songs). But at that point it seemed like Ji Xiang Kong already had feelings for Qiu Ying, yet he went to see her and didn't push her away when she hugged him.

When Miya came back , he hadn't yet confessed to Qiu Ying, yet when Miya started to pull her mean girl stunts, Ji Xiang Kong goes to say in front of them that he and Qiu Ying are dating. And this was the part i was proud of Qiu Ying for putting her foot down.
Miya was already acting like the typical ex gf.. arrogant. God i hated her character the most.
Then the moment u think she is being a decent human being and leaving them alone- She gets injured and all of a sudden it's Ji Xiang Kong's responsibility to take care of her. He bought her flowers (something he never did for Qiu Ying who at the same time literally was helping him form a team.) He let Miya hug him and was with her all night long.. And that broke Qiu Ying's heart. He really took his sweet time solving all the problems with Miya and Qiu Ying. Only when Luo Tian, Qiu Yin's "Teacher" who has a crush on Qiu Ying too, literally yelled at him for hurting Qiu Ying with the thing with Miya, was the moment we as audience could have more confirmation that he is going to fix things soon.

The last episode was the cherry on top of the cake. All of a sudden in the last 10 minutes of the drama, Miya comes clean to Ji Xiang Kong about her eye injury and turns out he knew.. She then tells him that she is sorry and that she sees now that Qiu Ying really does know him better. Qiu Ying sees them hugging AGAIN- But hey- it's too late to solve the misunderstanding now since Ji Xiang Kong needs to go play the last game so they can win.

How did the drama end then?
They won and Ji Xiang Kong called Qiu Ying to be on stage with them. All of a sudden without ANY conversation they are back together just like that.

That was my rant. If you read it this far, thank you. If you feel like my review is all over the place.. you can only guess how all over the place the drama is.
