Real Gamers don't fit a stereotype
I absolutely loved this series because it didn't stereotype the gamers, the female gamer was both girlie but a badass. They made sure to showcase her strengths but also showed her integrating into the team where they both learned from her and taught her new tricks. Each of the gamers were unique, with different strengths and they made sure to show that none of them were the "unstoppable, god gamer". They each had to rely on each other.I thought it was soo good to see the main male lead be the one who had the "emotional" break that lead to the group surrounding him to show support. They also showed a strong female who was the one who was rich and she stood up for her love.
Each storyline of the supporting characters were cute and I felt like each one contributed to the story, instead of just being filler.

Love this Series! Can easily Replay Constantly!
Lead, supporting actors, production and graphics team...VERY GOOD!!! I enjoy this series from beginning to end. There are no episodes or scenes that feel unnecessary. The natural chemistry with the cast throughout really feels like you were almost viewing reality TV BTS moments and not plain acting. You can see the tension and gradual growth of the romance budding with the two leads which is even more enjoyable because it does not feel scripted. The funny moments between lead and supporting actors seemed off script, but just right. Love the graphics and OST! Seriously, I hesitated for a while before adding for review. However, I am very glad that I did. It has been a while since I have seen a drama that I don't mind rewatching multiple times. WELL DONE!¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
At first, I only started watching it because of the ML (I'd seen him before in Arsenal Military Academy and liked him), and I didn't really expect to like it, because I think watching video games is boring and it was really long compared to all the other dramas I've seen, but I was pleasantly surprised! Some things I liked about it:
-The acting was really good, and the reactions of the team members were just amazing!
-There was some really good background instrumental music that I liked.
-There was a lot of good comedy, and the singing parts were hilarious!
-The romance was cute and really just worked well for this drama
-Lu Yue was an amazing character that I am sure all of you will love
Some not so great things:
-For people who don't understand the game that they play it could be a little strange...I did watch this not understanding how it worked, and it was ok, but some people might not like that
-There were a few gaming scenes they could have cut down a lot...so it doesn't get as boring for people who don't really like that sort of thing
Overall it was a great drama and I really enjoyed it!

Heartwarming and a bunch of flower boys
Honestly, I gave it a try to watch this drama because of Chengxiao but got surprised because of the whole male cast, lmao. If you are looking for a drama that will spoil your eyes because of its cast, then this drama is super recommended.Actually, I just started watching C-drama and romance drama isn't my thing, so I didn't have any expectations. I thought the drama would be filled with romance like the previous c-dramas that I've watched, but no? And it turned out to be "my cup of tea dramas".
I really love how they sent every message in this drama. They talked about gender equality, where some people underestimate women for things that they thought only men would understand.
It also talked about dreams. Those players want to chase their dreams despite the fact that they didn't get support and were opposed by their family. The only thing that they can do is prove that they didn't choose the wrong path.
I like how they pointed out fans' behavior. Some fans will throw hate to someone, even think that the support that they have given is enough to interfere in their idol's private life. Also, how people use mental health as an excuse because of her wrongdoing. That's a picture which also happened in real life.
Romance, dream, family, friendship, trust, even relationship between idols and fans, you can find it in this drama.
The matter is in me. I didn't understand the game, so I couldn't be excited T-T but it's still fun to watch. Fortunately, after 26 episodes, I could finally understand the game.

Spoilers Alert!!!After I finished watching this drama, I felt so sad and happy at the same time. Watching the glittering eyes of Tong Yao (Cheng Xiao) and Lu Si Cheng (Xu Kai) I started to flutter in the ending. Cheng Xiao had managed to keep up the the sweet and strong nature of Tong Yao. While Xu Kai has also done well portraying the cold, strict and handsome Lu Si Cheng. The chemistry between this two opposite in nature people was amazing. I was charmed by seeing their chemistry. Just hoping that they will soon release the poster of Falling Into Your Smile S2 with the same cast. Cross-fingers ?

Tenía altas expectativas.
Este drama me costó muchísimo, tarde casi un año en terminarlo, las razones:1. La protagonista es la típica mimada que depende del protagonista para todo, su personaje no tiene fuerza y es a veces demasiado fastidioso.
2. La historia estaría increíblemente bien si en realidad fuera de jugadores profesionales, mas que eso parece un drama escolar.
Había muchísimos fallos en cuanto al "e sports", supongo que para una persona común no hay fallos pero para una persona que sabe sobre el mundo de los videojuegos es hasta ofensivo este drama.
3. Incluso siendo que Xu Kai me agrada por sus actuaciones en otros dramas, aquí sentí que me quedo a deber bastante.
4. Por lo que se hablaba de este drama tenía expectativas altas, me quedaron a deber.
Lo bueno de este drama:
*La música es buenísima.
*Algunos actores que no conocía me dejaron impactada con su buena actuación.
*Hicieron buen uso de los efectos especiales.
*Me encantó la forma de vestir de todos, los looks y así 10/10.

Why you should watch Falling Into Your Smile
Falling Into Your Smile was the first c-drama I ever watched and I fell in love with it the moment I started watching it. Since it was my first drama I kept wondering whether I would like it or not but Falling Into Your Smile exceeded my expectations and I will never regret watching it. It is an e-sports drama so a lot of the drama is about the game and the gamers. I never knew that there was such a thing as e-sports before and I have never been into gaming but I still found the drama very interesting even though I knew nothing about e-sports at all. They explain about the game quite a bit so you don't feel completely lost. The director shows very well how a pro-gamers life is and the different problems and criticism that they go through and receive. The drama gives a great message about how gamers are not computer addicts like many people think, you can see how passionate they are about their career, and my respect for pro-gamers has grown through watching Falling Into Your Smile. The friendship and the relations between the groups and team members were shown very well and they also showed how parents are not supportive of their kids becoming gamers and the story just felt very realistic. The story wasn't dragged on and was fun to watch.Every actor did a great job with their acting and they showed the emotions of their characters in such a good and natural way. I'm still wondering how the director found so many handsome and talented people to act in his drama. Everyone was just so handsome, even the only two female leads were so beautiful and they all were just amazing at acting. Everyone did great with the acting and I have nothing to complain about.
Falling Into Your Smile was written in a way where you can never get tired of the story. I personally have seen this drama multiple times and I still find it equally fun and entertaining to watch every time. Falling Into Your Smile is a great drama to watch if you want something that is not too long but is still entertaining with some comedy, friendship and romance. This is a drama I would recommend if you are new to c-dramas and you want something that can give you an idea of what c-dramas are like. This was my first c-drama and after watching it I just got obsessed with c-dramas ever since and i think others will also be if they watch it, this drama is definitely worth the high rating. Both people who like gaming and those who know little to nothing or don't like gaming will equally enjoy this drama.

Simple concept, absolutely beautiful execution
Falling Into Your Smile is a cute, simplistic but extremely well made romcom. It is a treat to watch, especially for those sweet, aww-worthy moments.The story is very well-balanced between romance and gaming. Although there are quite a few e-sports dramas now, having a female gamer gives it a fresh angle and the prejudice and struggles Tong Yao goes through sound very true-to-life, especially hearing about Chine's netizen culture. The romance moments are so sweet. There are quite a few blink-and-you-might-miss-it-moments and flirty verbal moments that I think are much cuter than the obvious staring into each others eyes for 5 minutes while the music plays scenes.
I liked our leads well enough. I appreciated how importance is placed on Tong Yao skills as e-gamer and dedication. The actress is really good at playing cute, which I've found through extensive drama watching is not as easy as it looks. I really liked all other the characters as well, whose interactions were very fun to watch. It's nice how enough development is given to the numerous side characters so it is possible to find personal favorites and they are not all clones. I like how a lot is put on the teamwork aspect and it not just one person carrying the team. I also liked how the e-sports community felt like...well, a nice, tight-knit community. Members were friends across teams, people supported one another, competitions were fair and everyone vaguely knew or knew of each other. It kind of reminds me when people 'reminisce' about previous Kpop eras when groups collaborated more often, even across different companies, and fandoms weren't so crazy (side note: this is per numerous online comments, I cannot say how accurate it is on then vs now).
The production was pretty good, but at times felt overproduced. The acting was very good but it sometimes felt like there was so much skin filtering or smoothening or something that facial expressions looked stiff. The worse was then people would comment on how someone's face would look so red or with dark circles and all you see is this perfectly made-up and glamourized look. Like, if you are going to have a bunch of people comment on how someone is embarrassed and beet-red, at least make her look a little flushed or something.
Overall, this is a simple and sweet romcom that stays in romcom territory. I was debating between an 8 vs 8.5 since it's not a grand masterpiece but ended up choosing 8.5 because it achieves what it tries to do. This is a great watch when you in the mood for something light and fluffy but still well made or something to relax to after a long day.

Sweetness overhead?
Short review here. I know this drama has a lot of contreversy with some people because of lots of reasons, this review will not talk about it and my rating wasn't biased either. Anyway.A good drama with a very good complicity with actors. I've watched an other drama about E-Sport and didn't feel the same way about them. Not only the protagonists goes along quite well, the whole main team have a great chemistry together and I really liked that.
The other good thing about it was the gaming, we have gaming here! It was so refreshing, they work hard and it shows, they don't mostly hang out (even if they do too, but they're really focusing on the gaming aspect and I liked it, it's more realistic).
Honestly even if it's a romcom and that you "should" focus on the main couple, it wasn't what I was more interested with. They were able to talk about actuality stuffs going on everywhere but mostly in mainland China such as freedom of speech in social media (mostly) and how you should be careful about your words and your actions, because they all have consequences.
If my rating is not higher after a good short review about it is probably because I wasn't that focus of the main couple and also because I felt like Lu Sicheng was a bit too... compulsive for me. Either way, I was quite satisfied about the drama and I want to say thanks to Lao K et Lao Mao for being the best couple so far.

THIS IS WORTH TO WATCH ?
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!THIS SERIES MADE ME FEEL SPARKS AGAIN! Every scenes are so unpredictable and I always get butterflies from the main leads. ? I am shocked that this series really has a lot of budget and didn't do it dirty. I am surprised on the buildings, bus, Cheng's luxury car and computers stuffs. The arena also looks so cool! I love it! I also like how the episodes aren't too long and boring, this series is so beautiful! The story plot, plot twist, everything is worth it! Not to mention that all of the cast (main leads, second leads, guests) are all attractive. I feel butterflies just by looking at them. I would say all of them are great actors/actresses, keep going! Goodluck into your life journeys! Btw, FNC Kun I am hoping to see you again on Season 2, you're so cute! ?

THE RIGHT KIND OF HAPPY DRAMA
As a drama fan, 2021 was filled with a lot of intense and dark dramas. And contrary to that, this drama was like a breath of fresh air.STORY: The story is simple and sweet. ZDGX is an e-sport team and the leads are in the same team. They compete with other teams to win the national championship. Throughout this journey, they all experience wins, loss, happiness, heartbreak and many other feelings. This drama takes you to the e-sport world where their major goal is to win the main championship and to continue their career as a pro gamer.
ACTING: I found the FL a little stiff but considering that it is her first drama, I don't think that its a big issue. All casts have very great chemistry.
I would recommend this drama to anyone who is looking for a sweet, fluffy and light drama. There are no big misunderstandings between the leads , they never break up and there are no evil characters. They have a very healthy and mature relationship and the best thing is that their relation develops gradually. I've seen few people complaining that it is not fully an e-sports drama but I'd like to clarify that e-sports wasn't the only main focus of this drama. There are also other elements such as romance, friendship and comedy; and I think the drama has given justice to every element. The chemistry between the leads is like eye candy and you'll definitely enjoy it if you are a fan of light hearted, fluffy and sweet drama. So just give this drama a try and enjoy the sweet journey of e-sports, romance and friendship.
If you are interested in e-sports genre, then I'll suggest King's avatar, Love O2O, Go Go Squid and Cross fire.

Great friendship, great romance and no unnecessary drama.
I LOVED everything about this drama. The cast was perfect, and full of visuals and great acting, all the characters were amazing. This isn't a drama where you'd hate any character, in fact you'd love most of them and I loved that.This was a really sweet slow burn romance where the leads have chemistry from the very beginning. The best thing about this drama is definitely the friendship between all the teammates especially in team ZGDX.
Another thing that made this drama so good was that there was very little drama when it came to the leads. There wasn't really any family problems, no relationship problems and even though there is the ex that comes back, it didn't effect the relationship between the leads in any way. There is a love triangle (maybe 2, neither if which were real) but it doesn't effect the relationship between any of the characters. There was nothing and no one stopping the leads getting together and just about everyone shipped them together.
I also really liked the second lead couple. They were a bit unexpected and I didn't think they would last, seemed more like a fling. But, they were actually really cute and supportive of each other. I love it when the SFL and FL are genuine best friends.
I liked the FL's ex, he was a great character, I just didn't like him as her ex. I didn't get second lead syndrome in this drama, at all for him; I can't understand why people did. I can never, and will never, get second lead syndrome for a CHEATER. A man who treated the FL like an object and only wanted her back because she was better than him at e-sports and he thinks she moved on. He reminded me of the SML from Skip Beat!, only here he was actually a decent person, only a TERRIBLE boyfriend. Yes, he's good looking, but so was litterally EVERY other character in this drama.
