I enjoyed it very much ♥️

It's been a while since I encountered a drama that made me laugh and cry this much.

A lot of the dramas that are coming out lately are thrillers or action based, and although I enjoy those genres I was starting to become tired of it. It's true that this one has a bit of mystery, but it's mixed in all the drama and romance and although it's part of the plot it didn't bother me that much.

The characters are fun and likable. The protagonist, Haeyi, is presented as a character who is not in her best moment in life, always worried about money and working to support her mother and younger brother. But she never gives up, she never loses that fun and bubbly personality, and I really enjoyed that. She made me laugh out loud in almost every episode.
Jungwoo is portrayed by Bae Inhyuk and I'm glad that he's playing a main character this time. I really liked how he always had something good to say to Haeyi, and although at the begging he wasn't (they didn't know eachother), by the middle of the series he was very reasonable and understanding of the situations she was facing.
Sunho tho, it was kind of infuriating how he kept insisting that he liked the protagonist. She told him many times that she wasn't interested in him, and he even kissed her without her consent when she was drunk??? Nope.

I'm not really a fan of love triangles, especially if they're not well executed. SML should have given up on the protagonist by the middle of the drama, and Jungwoo should've had more screen time with Haeyi.

Another thing that I didn't like is that the bad guy doesn't really have a sustainable reason to dislike the main character and wanting to kill her. He wasn't even part of their team, he was only an ex-member of the group, so I don't understand his point.

Overall, I liked that this drama gave a message of courage and cheering to the audience. Never give up on your dreams, on your life. There's always someone cheering for you. Even if you can't notice them, there is someone ♥️

I really liked it but there’s a reason I only gave it a 5 out of 10.

This is the first Thai BL I ever watch and there were things I really liked, but the bad things sometimes overtook the good ones to the point where I thought about stopping watching it.
First thing is the acting. Except maybe two actors (Zee and Saint), the others were really bad at it and I can understand it if it’s the first time they’re acting, but it threw me off a lot of times.
The story is a bit messy at points. It starts with Zon being the main character of the drama, but at some point the story is mainly focused on the Tutor and Fighter relationship, and they kind of forget about showing us the evolution of Zon and Saifah’s feelings for each other. And I’m not even going to talk about all the secondary characters and their relationships that are shown from time to time, which are underdeveloped and a bit thrown to your face without almost any context about who these characters are.
About my favourite characters of this drama: the chemistry between Fighter and Tutor is amazing and it kept me completely hooked to the point where I appreciated a lot that they became almost the main focus of the story, because they were the only reason I finished this drama. Their acting is really good and their story is well developed, showing us their struggles and them talking about their worries most of the time (and also the consent guys!!). I really liked that theirs was not the typical bad guy falls for the good guy and they do dirty things but the good guy doesn’t make any movement until the other does. No, it wasn’t anything like that and I really liked it. Why I say their acting is really good? Their eyes. That’s it. They truly know how to express their feelings through their gazes.
Now that I’ve said that, I must say that I really appreciated the talking about LGTBQ+ rights. It’s not often you watch a show where they discuss these matters, and they were really well talked about in this drama. Fighter having an issue with his dad not accepting his sexuality was pretty much realistic, and they handled it very good.

All in all, I have confused feelings about this BL and that’s why I gave it a 5/10.

It was cute and perfect for videogame and romance lovers

If you liked c-dramas like Love O2O or Go Go Squid, then you're going to like this one too!
I loved this drama so much, I kept sleeping at 5am for four days straight so I could finish it <3

Now, there are spoilers here:
There are a couple of things that I didn't like, but it usually happens in a lot of dramas that I watch.
The protagonist is a Mary Sue, that meaning that every guy that she encounters falls in love with her, and she's sometimes annoying. I liked that she is the first and only girl doing eSports as a career, and they portray that misogynistic aspect of "not letting girls play games profesionally because they only do it to approach handsome boys" very well. But once she proves that she's worthy of being in the team, they keep bringing in that shes a girl and that she's only there for pretty boys, even her fans. And I'm mad about it even though I liked the drama.
The romance is a slow burn that I liked. He really respected the protagonist (there were some jealousy problems, but we're letting that slip). He really admired her for her abilities to play the game and for how strong she was in some situations. But sometimes their relationship was a bit confusing because you never really know what things they've done in their privacy, like if they had had their first kiss already or not because they never show it on-screen??? The first kiss you see is in a bus surrounded by their team mates and that barely feels like a first kiss, so even though it was a cute romance, it was confunsing at times.
I didn't like that half of the episodes were them playing that game, which may sound rare but the characters and the dynamic of the game are never introduced to you, so half of the time I got confused with the technical aspects of the game. But the 3D animation of the characters was very well done and I appreciated those parts, although sometimes it was confusing which person was using which character.
This is not a critique, but K and Cat were boyfriends and you can't change my mind.

Even though all of these things I've said, I liked the drama and I'd recommend it if you like romance and videogames <3
