The King’s Avatar

firestar, I want to thank you, because I started watching The King’s Avatar (I’m up to episode 6) and I think I like it? :)

It’s about the world of professional gaming. I don’t play at all, so all the gaming stuff flies over my head, I usually fast-forward through the scenes that take place in the game. And I find the main character Ye Xiu pretty, but very boring. I don’t care about his tragic past or his quest to build some super powerful weapon for his game character.

But there is a lot of things I enjoy. I have another f/f ship already - Guoguo and Xiao Tang. Guoguo can be a bit annoying at times, but I really like Tang Rou and I like their relationship.

And of course I love Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian - Gao Hanyu and Jiang Long’s characters. Gao Hanyu looks gorgeous in glasses and here’s the proof.

His character Ye Wenzhou is the captain of a professional gaming team, Huang Shaotian is one of the members. Yu Wenzhou is cool, calm and collected. And in contrast Huang Shaotian is full of chaotic, nervous energy and talking a mile a minute. They have very nice chemistry. Of course I ship them, too. :) They have this wonderful “interrogation” scene in episode 6 and Yu Wenzhou plays Huang Shaotian like a fiddle. It was beautiful and I instantly had to re-watch it. :D

I watch the drama with English subtitles on WeTV here.
