Pei ni dao shi jie zhi dian

A series that follows the dramatic lives of an esports team doesn't, on the surface, seem to hold much promise, at least to Western audiences whose interest in the esports field lags behind that of global audiences. But this show is unexpectedly entertaining and charming. The three story arcs help propel the story, each driven by the force of personality that is the lead actor, Wang Yibo. This show features the Gary Stu trope (everything revolves around the male lead) but that serves the story well since Wang himself oozes as much charisma as his character is meant to. It's quite believable that the story would unfold the way it does because of him. It's a role that could easily be over-acted, but he holds the reins tightly and delivers an appropriate performance for the material. He's supported by a decently strong cast, with no distracting weak spots. Whether you're interested in esports or not, Gank Your Heart is a more than serviceable romance and character drama that will put a smile on your face and make you sigh with satisfaction at the end.

This is the most realistic esports drama I've watched. I put this drama off cos I don't find the topic interesting to me, but it was not what I expected. It's light hearted and fun. I never thought I'd get into esports like this. The story doesn't drag and many characters have gone through a growth process and become better people. It really is a feel good drama.

This is a love story between an e-sports gamer and a Tsundere live streamer. I love how that is in the description. Although there are many more things that is happening in this drama, nothing else beats how eye-catching both leads are and how entertaining the chemistry between them is. As their romance slowly build up against the background of their careers, they make you smile in the sweet moments, they make your purse your lips in sour moments and they make you sigh too many many times.

I love Gank Your Heart and I love how much of a treat it is. I love how the story progresses and I love the actors in it, especially Ji Xiangkong's Wang Yibo.

This one was very entertaining and it was a surprise.

I have watched a few esports dramas and although this is not the best it is worth the watch.

In terms of the e-games scenes and battles Falling Into Your Smile is way better and the quality of the effects too. Same goes for the romance.

In this one the focus is less in the games or in the romance and more in what happened behind the scenes and what it takes to build a professional e-sports team. It very refreshing to watch the development of the characters and see them struggle trying to start from zero and rise to the top to achieve their dreams.

The drama is filled inspiring relationships of camaraderie, friendship and love and showing how a family can be chosen and when loyal and true to them it will be there for you forever.

I wanted to give it a bit higher rating but there were too many undeveloped storylines and some very frustrating plot holes and characters so I lowered it a bit.

I admit, I thought this would just be a way to get my fix for more Wang Yibo. I wasn't expecting to like this so much. So... surprise! This was so much darn fun! With likable protagonists, and with villains you hope will crash and burn... this show is genuinely good!

There is some outstanding personal growth for nearly every character, and yet it doesn't feel bogged down by attending to each individual. The growth comes naturally through all of them experiencing their struggles and working to overcome them. Fortunately, the struggles are based on a fun premise of the gaming world-- or the e-sports world, as it's explained in the series.

It also helps that there are some fantastic friendships that just feel really good to watch, and that definitely helps to move the story along.

There are also a few secondary relationships that are enjoyable to watch evolve. All of the romance is woven very effectively into the rest of the plot, This isn't a love story with some plot thrown in. It's an unexpectedly fun story that happens to have some sweet romance to accompany it.

The acting is very good. The story is very good. The experience was just overall a revelation. I need to get a hold of my own copy of this. I would absolutely watch this again.
