Falling Into Your Smile (2021)

EQUATION

Moved out from K dramas to watch something new and then got to know about this fascinating drama especially for all game lovers out there , the thing that attracted me the most is the equation between the character and make people know that girls can also be the professional e-sports player. The story lines seems so realistic and that fascinate me the most while watching its trailer . I loved the bubbly character of female protagonist as well her attitude towards her goal and of course if female lead is bubbly then there will be fierce ,rude but caring handsome male lead. This story also says about the fans and anti-fans and the pressure or problems faced by professional player to maintain both their personal and professional status and their tactics to overcome all difficulties and win for the nation. this drama includes all the things like: friendship, relationship, hatred , comedy, players, etc. So that's why I will highly recommend to watch this drama as a first or ongoing C drama. One cannot be bored of watching this.

Xu Kai's first modern drama

I guess this would be the most awaited drama for me this year. Being the first modern drama Xu Kai ever acted, I was thrilled to watch it. As I watched some of the episodes I just can't get enough of it the whole cast is mind blowing, as well as the ost. The plot is kind of interesting as it focuses on women eSport players as well as it also focuses on love interest. Xu has done a great work along with Cheng Xiao to portray the character of a capable team leader. Though the drama is based on gaming as most of the drama these days but it has a different essence in it, with a proper cast , costumes, dialogues, sets. All in all its a drama worth watching. Being a drama based on games the drama also has surprises for the viewers as for the gaming part was a highlight with proper animation and AI technology , sometimes it really feels like you are watching an anime , well that was a plus point for me. I am currently enjoying the drama and really excited to watch the upcoming episodes and the romance between Xu kai and Cheng Xiao. I am really looking forward to the upcoming episodes and twists.

MUST WATCH DRAMA!

This feedback is just for the episodes 1-16, since it is the only episodes that is available in my country for now, and the other episodes are still not yet released...I don't know in china, but what I know is there is still no eng sub, if ever it is already released there.

This drama is actually my most awaiting c-dramas already for months, and I've been really excited to watch this, since it is Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai. I first only excited to watch this bcs of cheng xiao, because I know her as an idol at first then an actress, even though this is my first drama of her. Later on, I also get to know xu kai as I watched one of his dramas, and know him for other dramas that I haven't watched yet. I also know some of the characters here before, but I didn't actually know it until I've already watched its first episode. I can see that the character setup here are all good looking and also portraying different roles that makes them attractive, even the support characters bcs they fit in their role.

The plot of the story is just simple but yet fun to watch bcs you can actually learn lessons here, at the same time feel different emotions. You will be able to laugh, sad, angry and excited. I know I have more eps awaiting for me, and I'm looking forward to those eps, bcs probably, they would be more exciting. They also added some things about gaming that I haven't seen before in the drama gamings I have watched.

The ost is also absolutely not my expectation nor I expect or think something about it...it actually bring me more excitement, because the singers that I've been idolizing, since I'm also a k-pop fan, participate in singing the ost in this drama, and those are SEVENTEEN and WAYV, my favorite groups, and I really love their music so I don't doubt what music they brought in this drama. Also, Cheng Xiao and Xu Kai singing one of the ost gives me so much romantic excitement and butterflies in my stomach. Zhai Xiaowen also gives the vibe of music for this gaming drama as he also plays a character role here that is really exciting to here while he is playing here, right?

For overall, I will rate this drama perfectly, bcs it gives me so much fun in every eps I watched that I will just smile or laugh the whole ep. I hope you also support and love this drama, so I highly suggest for you to watch this drama already! Don't miss it, even if it's story is not that deep, but you can see how fun to watch this drama is.

Seeing this drama in my SUBJECTIVE OPINION, even though I'm a huge fan of ROMANCE,COMEDY,GAMING DRAMA
it is not worth to watch if you really analyze the storyine
•the main leading woman's character is too transparent, I don't like the way that it's too obvious that she really like Cheng
•they didn't totally justify the GAMING/E-SPORTS Genre.
• the storyline is too cliche
• i don't see any chemistry between the female lead and male lead.
• the male lead's acting is wholesome and tbh she really deserves a much better female lead and I hope I can see him in a drama with yang mi, yang zi, Eleanor lee, rounan
• but if you are the type of person that really like these very cutesy and modern drama then it's the one that you must watch

Could have been good

I have not yet finished this drama but I could tell you all that it would take me a long long time to finish this unless I just fast forward every scene the FL is in which is not ideal. I don't mind the plot at all. What kills it for me is the FL. By far, the WORST actress I have ever seen in a show or movie. She does not have any emotion at all. It's almost like she is trying too hard to look cute in ALL SCENES. The drunken scene in early ep was really really bad. Majority of the time,she looks like this :O (pouty mouth, eyes look like she has no idea wtf is going on). She cannot even fake feeling excited or tired. I can't feel her anger or sadness.

I am watching the show along with Bridgerton (Netflix) and Business Proposal ,the acting from this show is the weakest which is sad because this show is supposed to be the MOST EXCITING show with all the gaming and competition but even when they win a game or she wins a match, you simply don't share the excitement.

This drama was not for me.

Xu Kai has a drama coming out with Yang Mi. I started this drama so I may fall for him, so that when I see him with YM, I'll like him more.

Worst. Decision. Ever.

I've been seriously watching dramas for 2 years now and I know what I like and what I do not like.... And I don't like this drama.

From the acting, to the story to the music, absolutely nothing is memorable or entertaining enought to continue watching.

The only e-sports related drama I ever watched was Go Go Squid and if it weren't for Yang Zi and Li Xian's beautifully adorable (although ridiculously frustrating) romance, then I would not have finished it. Also, the way the e-sports storyline was written was so brilliant and captivating that I rooted for them in every competition they had. I don't have those feelings for FIYS. I don't care about the romance or the e-sports and from the 8 episodes I've watched, that's all there is to it. It ticks off many of my favourite cliches and tropes from dramas and executes them poorly.

Then there's the lackluster chemistry between Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao. I just roll my eyes at everything they do together. Sometimes cliche Main Leads that are written in this way can capture the audience and make us love them and everything they do, but it takes the skill of the actor and the production and editing crew to bring them to life on-screen. XK and CX's characters have no life. Although XK is trying his best, he is only as good as his co-star. I know nothing about CX nor have I seen her other works and this drama was really not the way to start things off. I remember her only having three facial expressions the entire 8 episodes.

The script didn't help at all, either. I skipped through most of the dialogue because I knew what they were going to say. I have no issues with tropey dramas. I sometimes love them. However, this drama was nothing but poorly executed tropes.

Then there's the side characters who aren't memorable either. If I can't watch the drama for the mains, I should at least be left with a supporting cast that would make me reconsider continuing the drama.....in FIYS, there is no such supporting cast. I kind of liked CX's ex in the drama. Whenever they showed the flashbacks to their relationship, those moments were sweet and natural. Much better than whatever was going in with CX and XK's characters. If I'd been the screenwriter, I would have written the ex as less sexist to women in e-sports, gotten him and CX back together, then XK would have ended up with his old teammate from South Korea. Ever if CX didn't end up with anyone and just achieved greater things in the e-sports world, that would have been a good ending too.

I'm not in the business of watching something I don't like at all.

If you're a fan of any of the cast, this is a very subjective opinion on FIYS and their acting. Maybe if watch their other dramas/movies, I'll begin to like them, but FIYS was the worst decision I ever made in terms of being introduced to XK. I'll just wait for She and Her Perfect Husband to be released, just incase I do more damage than good.

*EDIT*

This drama was so boring, I didn't even realise until after posting this review that freaking SEVENTEEN and WAYV sing OSTs.

I'll listen to the soundtrack separately.

One of the bests cdramas out here !!

This is exactly my 30th cdrama watched, and it is the first one that I didn't have any doubt to grade. This is obviously a 10 out of 10!
Well, I have to say I didn't have "that" feeling of excitment when I was about to watch Falling Into Your Smile. I thought it would be just another e-sports cdrama with cute vibes. But god, look at myself being completly wrong!! I became obsessed with our little Smiling and our hottie Chessman.
I loved the way their relatioship grew:
kinda enemies to lovers with LOTS LOTS of flirts; the way they both cared for eachother... and most important one - how they comunicated. We all know that characters face many difficulties when they are in a relationship and most of the times it's because they don't comunicate! They don't talk about their issues and this leads to unnecessary break-ups, right?
However in this cdrama, there are no dramas (well there are but not those big ones lol) because they talk about their problems and solve them together.
They have one of the most beautiful and healthy relationships that I've watched in +200 dramas.

About the acting, I'm happy to see Cheng Xiao's development!And for Xu Kai, it is the first drama that I have watched with him, and I think it's good ((HIS SMILE!!!!)) Overall it was really good!

One thing that got me shook was the special effects when they were competing playing videogames. They were so well made and it was nice to see something different.




Guys, seriously, you have to watch this. The way I smiled and laughed ALL the time beacuse of this!! If you want to watch a fluffy, chill, kinda comedian, super cute, and enjoy e-sports, watch this masterpiece.

Best Gaming-Romance Drama

As a female gamer myself, I love that the female lead (Smiling) isn't some helpless pretty girl who needs constant saving. I also appreciate how they included a lot of the challenges female gamers face. (Being picked on/ganged up on, being constantly criticized for not only how the play but also how they look/act, having to prove yourself) She really holds her own throughout the story and it made me want to root for her even more.

I also liked how they portrayed Smiling's Ex. They didn't make him the stereotypical mean ex-boyfriend. I found the way they approached their relationship to be more life like and not overly dramatize.

The fighting cutscenes are just so so good. I'm not a huge fan of animation but I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself looking forward to the next fight scene. I want more!

I have re-watched this drama and thoroughly enjoy it every time. I truly hope they come out with a season 2.

Would 100% recommend.

I loved the steady relationship

Simple & LOVABLE
I have rewatched this probably too many times and still can't get enough of it.
The story is simple enough with little drama enough to be enjoyable without being overbearing on the simplicity of the plot.
The FL actress is new from what i have read and could have done a better job but wasn't disappointing either, a little flat but it worked out fine due to her character.
I am not a gamer but it was simple and easily understandable, i did skip a few gaming scenes as they were a bit repetitive.
I LOVED that there was no breakup and though if could be called a slow burn of sort it really wasn't as even before the actual relationship the love was clear.
