O My, this is so cute !!!
Both main characters are older (30) and felt much more mature in their approach to life and romance, which really resonated with me as someone also in her 30s.
** Warning: Spoilers Ahead **
I loved the main female lead, Qiao Jing Jing. She's a strong and witty character who has an independent personality and isn't defined solely by the romance. Even though she had a crush on Yu Tu in high school and part of college, she moved on and had other relationships; it wasn't like she was pining after him for the last 10 years. She's also very smart. She saw right through her ex when he attempted to try and get back together with her, and she did great job of coming up with their team's strategy in the Honor of Kings exhibit match.
The main male lead, Yu Tu, experiences some character development as well. When we first meet him, he's at a crossroads in his life where he has to decide whether to pursue his passion or to switch careers and make big bucks doing something he doesn't enjoy. Most of the people around him are telling him he's making the right choice by moving into investment banking, but Jing Jing comes into his life and makes him question his decisions.
Because they're both 30, they don't rush into the relationship, and I love that. When Jing Jing first asks Yu Tu out (yay for the girl making the first move!), his response is to say no because their worlds are too different. I thought that was a completely reasonable response, and exactly the same type of doubt I'd have if I were in his shoes. And then when he realizes it's not that important and actively starts pursuing Jing Jing again, she doesn't immediately say yes either. She holds out because she wants to make him suffer a little bit. How sneaky.....
Even the exes are fleshed out slightly. We get insight into why both Jing Jing and Yu Tu's previous relationships fail and it's for very realistic reasons, which again gives this drama a more mature feel.
My only (minor) complaint about this story is that it does spend a lot of time on the Honor of Kings game. I was glad when the gaming bits stopped after few episodes of the way through and the rest of the story was focused on real life and their relationship.
I will definitely be re-watch this drama again :)
