She Stoops To Conquer

A smart game developer is being used and manipulated like a test dummy by the CEO she works for.

She enters a VR game world, where she is cast as "the ugly maid" just because of a scar on her face. Chinese dramas are obsessed with facial scars for some reason. Acne, facial scars, even freckles on occasion, are signs of weakness for some reason, and decrease your worth as an individual.

Anyway, our FL has to start from the bottom and kick her way up from there, probably the same way she had to get promoted at the game company she works at in the real world. She gets kicked around both in the real world, as well as the VR world, but this girl isn't going to let anything keep her down. She is kind to everyone that will recieve her kindness, and though she might have moments of self-pity, she doesn't act like the usual C-drama victim FL. I liked her as a character a lot, and I liked the SML, who was part of another cute couple. It's been a couple years since I saw this drama, but I don't remember a lot about the ML, except he had great chemistry with the FL when they had their picnic heart-to-heart evening talks, and that was really sweet to see.

Overall, I found this drama to be surprisingly pleasant, and the best VR time travel costume drama of all of them. Simple story, sincere characters that weren't annoying (at least the FL wasn't).
