Directed by Yu Zhongzhong (于中中) and starring [Hu Yitian](https://www.edgepedia.org/hu-yitian) (胡一天) and Li Yitong (李一桐), it is the sister series of the 2019 hit *Go Go Squid!* (亲爱的，热爱的) and follows that drama's supporting character Wu Bai as a competitive robot-fighting contestant.<sup>[1](https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7216284593727651843)</sup>\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Source | Mo Baofei Bao's novel 密室困游鱼; sister work of Go Go Squid!

In the opening episodes he enters a robot fighting league for the first time, reaches the national final, and narrowly beats Ai Qing for a spot at the Asian championship, after which she qualifies through a robot racing event; the two then find themselves teammates competing for China.<sup>[10](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-02/04/content_1458268.html)</sup> The series title comes from a line of Wu Bai's dialogue in the novel, \"my era is your era\" (我的时代就是你的时代).<sup>[11](https://mxgxt.com/news/view/693487)</sup>\n\nThe characters' online handles give the English title: Wu Bai competes as \"Dt\" and Ai Qing as \"Appledog\", and the show's tagline plays on the idea that in Dt's eyes only Appledog matters.<sup>[12](https://www.niusnews.com/%3DP257e5uu6)</sup> The story ends with the two, now leading their K&K team, winning a world championship for China and achieving their dreams together.<sup>[1](https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7216284593727651843)</sup>\n\n## From esports to robot fighting\n\nThe novel belongs to the same fictional world as *Go Go Squid!*, whose competition backdrop was cybersecurity (esports). The production company bought both sister-novel IPs together for series development and moved this installment's setting to competitive fighting robots, a field the producers described as more forward-looking and aligned with interest in intelligent technology; professional fighters and technicians advised the project, the cast trained before shooting, and the competition arena was reproduced at full scale.<sup>[13](https://www.sohu.com/a/452545823_120848598)</sup> The K&K team name was written into the plot as Ai Qing's ambition to be a King, not a Queen, of robot fighting, with Wu Bai holding that two Kings can coexist.<sup>[13](https://www.sohu.com/a/452545823_120848598)</sup>\n\n## Reception and performance\n\n**Heat.** The premiere broke an iQiyi in-platform heat value of 8000 within 22 hours, and the drama topped Maoyan's all-network heat chart for 35 consecutive days before concluding on 12 March 2021.<sup>[1](https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7216284593727651843)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[4](https://www.maoyan.com/news/2289135)</sup> During the Spring Festival window (8 to 14 February) it led web-drama market share for seven straight days, with a peak single-day share of 10.42%, though heat declined after the paid early-access finale was released.<sup>[3](https://jform2.baidu.com/s?f=1&rs_src=0&rsf=101633403&rsp=8&rsv_pq=8b7d3bf60000d456&rsv_t=80ecbjnN1ni%2FPmuyufInMuEWINJlyKdblEedpo3xWlHUFKhNhSv1HX4ruRc&wd=%E6%88%91%E7%9A%84%E6%97%B6%E4%BB%A3%2C%E4%BD%A0%E7%9A%84%E6%97%B6%E4%BB%A3%E6%94%B6%E8%A7%86%E7%8E%87)</sup>\n\n**Compared with its predecessor.** The series did not replicate the 2019 hit's reach. The Yangcheng Evening News contrasted Douban engagement of 23,000 \"watched\" for this drama against 343,000 for *Go Go Squid!*, and attributed the gap partly to the change from a dual-satellite-plus-multi-platform release to iQiyi-only streaming, and partly to the retitling away from the *Dear* brand, which weakened recognition of the connection.<sup>[2](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-03/11/content_1525449.html)</sup> Critics also faulted the softened characterization of Ai Qing, once a formidable team operator and now written as dependent on Wu Bai, and found the robot-battle staging simplistic, with the hero's robot relying on a single \"catapult\" skill and recurring arena hazards.<sup>[2](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2021-03/11/content_1525449.html)</sup> A Tmtpost analysis placed the drama among cases where the \"big IP plus traffic stars\" formula underdelivered, citing the esports-to-robot change that alienated some novel fans and an \"industrial saccharine\" romance style.<sup>[14](https://www.tmtpost.com/5087109.html?rss=souhu)</sup>\n\n**Scores.** Douban ratings reported in the sources disagree: a Weibo blogger's roundup of Mo Baofei Bao adaptations lists 5.7,<sup>[5](https://www.sina.cn/news/detail/5002055974390641.html)</sup> a Sohu ranking lists 5.6,<sup>[6](https://news.sohu.com/a/867000734_99913067)</sup> a Girlstyle feature lists 6.2,<sup>[7](https://girlstyle.com/my/article/76968/3-%E6%9C%88%E5%BF%85%E8%BF%BD-%E7%94%9C%E5%88%B0%E4%B8%8A%E5%A4%B4-%E7%BB%9D%E4%B8%96%E5%A5%BD%E5%89%A7-top-5-%E4%BD%A0%E6%98%AF%E6%88%91%E7%9A%84%E5%9F%8E%E6%B1%A0%E8%90%A5%E5%9E%92-%E6%96%A9%E8%8E%B7%E8%B1%86%E7%93%A3-8-0-%E5%A5%BD%E8%AF%84-%E5%8E%9F%E6%9D%A5%E4%BD%A0%E6%98%AF%E8%BF%99%E6%A0%B7%E7%9A%84%E9%A1%BE%E5%85%88%E7%94%9F-%E5%AE%9A%E6%A1%A3)</sup> and one encyclopedia entry reports a 7.0 score at the finale.<sup>[1](https://www.baike.com/wikiid/7216284593727651843)</sup> iQiyi's own page shows 7.5.<sup>[8](https://www.iqiyi.com/lib/m_5443998796258114.html)</sup> Viewer reactions were split between praise for the sweetness of the romance and criticism of the staging.<sup>[15](https://inf.news/entertainment/2bfe0bf6fcce54608d5d3a369b09a374.html)</sup>\n\n## Place in the series\n\nThe drama is the second screen installment of Mo Baofei Bao's linked novels. It keeps the predecessor's romance-plus-competition structure while shifting the professional field, and it brings back the earlier leads: [Li Xian](https://www.edgepedia.org/li-xian) and Yang Zi guest-starred as Han Shangyan and Tong Nian, and the two couples' storylines were marketed together, with about 20 percent of the show's Weibo trending topics tied to the predecessor.<sup>[4](https://www.maoyan.com/news/2289135)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[16](https://23813463.s21i.faiusr.com/61/ABUIABA9GAAghqX2gwYo9fiCZQ.pdf)</sup> Among adaptations of the author's novels, it sits in the middle-to-lower range of Douban scores, below *One and Only* (周生如故, 7.3) and *Love Is Sweet* ([很想很想你](https://www.edgepedia.org/love-me-love-my-voice), 6.7) and near *The Road Home* (归路, 5.8).<sup>[5](https://www.sina.cn/news/detail/5002055974390641.html)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
