I came across TKA as one of Netflix's recommendation. At that time, I am not into Cdrama and I didn't know any of the actors in this series. I just thought the plot is intriguing and the male lead is so handsome, so why not give it a try?

Oh boy, this drama did not disappoint! This is coming from someone who is not a gamer, not an avid Cdrama fan and have zero expectations coming into the series. I haven't read the novel nor watched the anime version as well.

The things I liked about it:
- The plot. It is a story about a pro-gamer who fell from grace and how he bounced back in the game. This kind of plotline has really caught my interest the first time which made me decide to give it a go.
- The CGI. This is the first drama I've seen where real life characters portray the in-game characters as well. I was so amazed by how this was done, not to mention the excellent graphics of the game itself.
- The gaming environment. I have never been into a gaming arena before and this show offered me a glimpse of what it was like during e-sports tournaments.
- Yang Yang. I loved Yang Yang because of this series. Not only is he dead gorgeous but he somehow justified his role as Ye Xui like this character was created with him in mind. There could be no other actor for Ye Xui except him.
- The OST. I suffered severe LSS with Glory Battlefield even though I couldn't understand any of the lyrics. It was recently added to Spotify but during the time I watched the series, I have to stream it in YT and have it on repeat because I just can't get over with it.

I have rewatched this 2x already and mind you, I never skipped nor fast forward any of the 40-episodes with ~40min runtime per episode in each of those viewing. That's how much I loved this series! I think I will be rewatching this in the future just for the thrill of it. Yang Yang and the gang are my type of eye candies that can ease away the stresses of life.
