Love O2O

Romance + Video Game concept...what could go wrong? The answer...NOTHING!

I actually just finished watching this drama for the 2nd time and I loved it as much as I did the first time I watched it.

STORY: I am a lover of video games so to have an entire drama with this as a part of its story...I’m all for it. The romance definitely is the reason why people watch this drama but the video game theme doesn’t hurt. It is like this drama is telling 2 different stories. One story within the game and 1 story in reality which keeps it interesting. The video game scenes are beautifully done. I also like that the male and female lead both have brains and beauty because it doesn’t fall within the usual tropes of a lot of Asian dramas where the female is portrayed as a damsel in distress. One downside is that I feel like the same characters who create the initial conflicts for the main couple because redundant by the end of the story because coming from a viewers perspective by the middle or near end of the drama, the main couple has no reason to break up or have conflict so for these “rival” characters to butt in again and again was a little annoying but I remembered that from the first time I watched it as well.

ACTING: I have to say the actor playing the male lead carried this drama. I didn’t like or dislike the female lead but I definitely preferred the male lead which was the same when I first saw this drama. If it wasn’t for the male lead and the supporting cast, I probably would have dropped this drama the first time I watched this drama...this drama is the reason why I like Yang Yang so much.

MUSIC: I like the main theme that played when the main couple were together. It gets into your head FOR SURE!

REWATCH VALUE: Since this was my second time watching this drama...I would say it has a HUGE REWATCH VALUE FOR ME! It is just an easy and sweet drama to put on during a rainy day.

OVERALL: if you are looking for a light and romantic drama with good chemistry, an unique theme and great CGI...THIS DRAMA IS FOR YOU!

very very love for love 020

The drama Love 020 was the best romantic drama I have ever seen. There are several 18+ scenes here. Kint likes it too. It has been quite difficult to see with the English subtitle. However, it was a very beautiful and story-driven drama. I didn't want to get up after watching the last 10 episodes. However, I finished. Not to mention the performance of Zhang Shuang and Yang Yang. I have never seen such a beautiful performance in other movies. it's best on my life. i cannot hide from my memory.
愛情020是我看過最好的愛情劇。這裡有幾個 18+ 的場景。金特也喜歡。用英文字幕很難看。然而，這是一部非常美麗且故事驅動的戲劇。看了最後10集就不想起來了。然而，我完成了。更不用說張爽和楊洋的表現了。我從未在其他電影中看到過如此美麗的表演。這對我的生活來說是最好的。我無法隱藏我的記憶。

This drama has several strengths and weaknesses that i want to point out.

Story
This drama has a quiet standard story. What i meant here is the whole story of the drama has been used by many previous dramas. But, the element about gaming fascinates and intrigued me. The story is well build. Moreover, the story is not as clingy as the other similiar type of drama.

Plot
The plot of this drama is simple and quiet consistent pace even the pace slow down and plain at some moments. The plot may slow down but it doesn't rush.

Acting
The acting is good enough. The expressions of each character is well delivered. The chemistry among casts, especially the main casts are great. I don't expect the two main casts can gradually put the feeling into their characters.

Music
To me, the soundtrack for this drama is good enough. But to be honest, i prefer a more beat song to complete the drama.

Story: This story was really cute and fun! The reason I watched this was because I was running out of finished drama's to watch, but thank God I watched this! I've never finished a drama that fast. I like it because it is really a light story, funny and lots of fluff too. But TBH I did not like the kissing scene though, the Lady MC (Bei Wei Wei) doesn't even kiss back... but overall great story and I am giving it 9/10.
Cast: Ohh, I really like the male lead (Yang Yang) he is very handsome and sooo perfect. 10/10
Music: TBH I am not really familiar with Chinese compared to Japanese and Korean but I really did liked their OST's and while I am typing this review the Main song keeps on playing on my head! 10/10
Rewatch Value: I will def! Rewatch it for sure! 10/10
OVERALL: 10/10

It's a wonder that this drama could last so many episodes without a real storyline, no character development, no substantial, meaningful conflict. This is a pure commercial, fan service drama made to accentuate Yang Yang's face and Zheng Shuang's beauty. There's no real character development as both leads start off as perfect people. The male lead is rank 1 for a popular computer game, comp-sci genius, good looking, rich, a nice, well mannered guy. The girl is the prettiest girl in her major, also comp-sci. She's *gasp* so special because she's the only girl on the top ten ranking of the same game. While a lot of this drama takes place in their gaming world, there is absolutely no realism to their gaming lives. The writer didn't bother to even touch upon the effort it takes to reach a top rank in popular computer games. The whole drama is these two people leading perfect lives.

Its not a heavy drama and i'm glad that the conflict is not between them but between their friends.I love how they keep their relationship strong despite all the challenges and all the temptation.I like how Yang Yang portrayed his role well,how his character love Bei Wei Wei so much.usually i'm having a hard time watching long dramas but for this I did not sleep for 2 straight days just to finished it. I also love the supporting characters specially Wei Wei's dorm mates and Xiao Nai's dorm mates.I totally love the loyalty of their friends,this is a light drama that made your heart flutters.I really love it.

This drama is one of the best romance drama that i watched. The scenes with Xiao Nai and Bei Wei Wei is really worth to watch and it is really so sweet but at the same time i think you would not know what would Xiao Nai do but this is my opinion.  Every thing is good but i wish there were more seasons cause i want to see what happens after they ( If i say this i am going to spoil for the people who did not watch this so i am not going to say, but the ones who watch it try to guess what i am trying to say.  Hint: This happens at the end!). It is really interesting and if you love romance, drama and something to do with technology or gaming then this drama is just right for you. So if you are interesting in watching i hope you enjoy it and have fun with it.

Refreshing and makes you smile!

First off, if you want reality you won’t find much of it here. This drama is where I discovered Yang Yang. For me he is truly the glue in this series. His sly, cute smile; his dry sense of humor (makes you have to think about it before you get it); his vulnerability about dating, all serve to make him a genuinely NICE GUY! The actress playing Wei Wei was beautiful but much too wooden, very stiff and awkward, especially in kissing scenes. Even to the very end she kept her eyes open, almost like she was thinking “can we get this over with, please?”. And she seemed to be unhealthily thin. Wei Wei’s roommates were cool. Erxi was a bit too over-the-top in the cutesie department but she was a real friend to Wei Wei.. I really enjoyed Xaio Nai’s roommates. They were such a hoot in the game and in reality. I also liked the actor who player Cao Guang (Foreign language genius). All in all this definitely was more fantasy than reality, tho. The story of their computer programming company was very interesting for me, especially the intricacies they displayed. This is a very rewatchable drama and one of the few I actually bought! 9.5 only because of the stiffness of the actress who played Wei Wei. Music I found enjoyable, too

I only watched it coz i saw the previews and im not really into the chinese drama coz they don't flow and theres too much commercial music. So anyways it was actually pretty good. Xiao nai was the heart throb and bei wei wei was a really great girl. Now im just gonna judge them
Xiao nai - good looks but hes too stiff
Bei wei wei - pretty girl but her kissing was really dull. She never parted her lips at all  or engage or reciprocate.
XO - who cast this dude in this show. He was worse than a robot. He had no expressions he had lije 2 lines a scene. He never looked ahead he was always absent but present. Hes so beige. Even the camera guy tried to get an emotion out of him but he was useless.
Er xi - she was the bubble in the group. Cute and bubbly
The rest of the cast was good but the ending is till not fulfilled though we can guess.  Some unanswered questions.The episodes went so fast and problems were solved quick. Another thing, why did they recycle their clothes. They wore same outfit over and over. Anyways there's alot of video game references.

Simply Amazing...

I first watched the Movie starring Angelababy and Jing Boran. I fell in love with the story. Then I saw there is a drama version which is with YangYang and Sheng Zhuang, and I gave it a try. I already know story so far but want to see how they excuted the drama version.

It's a very cute, sweet, not so complicated which is what I like. It's refreshing. It's a light story that will give you butterflies in your stomach.

The drama showed more scenes of how XiaoNai secretly showed his affection to WeiWei. Kinda stalkerish but it's not creepy.

I like how they met in a game, WeiWei despite being a girl can compete with male online players.

She's not just a beauty but is also smart like XiaoNai.

It's simply perfect. Plus , Yang Yang is worth drooling for.

I suck at writing reviews and this is purely for my own enjoyment; read at your own risk lol

This is one of the first chinese dramas I watched.

I personally do enjoy the plot and characters, though some of it is also partly nostalgia and just the over-all vibes (if that makes sense).

The phasing is neither too fast or slow, and I quite like how it doesn't only take place in university, but continues a little bit after.

I think the casting is pretty well done, though sometimes I find the chemistry between the main couple a little bit awkward....it feels like the roomates to Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) have more chemistry. But maybe that's just me. Other than that, I do think the the main cast is also well done, and the acting in general is okay.

The overall production and visual effects are also pretty good; quite impressed with the costumes and make-up. Though I do sometimes question Bei Weiwei's (Zheng Shuan) everyday clothes...

However much I like the drama, it does feel like it falls a little short when it comes to the overall plot and character development. So even though I like rewatching it, mostly for the vibe and nostalgia, it isn't super amazing or good.
Though it is pretty iconic for its time, as well as the OST.

I admit when I first read the synopsis for this show, I wasn't sure if I would like it. I didn't know how the gaming world and the real world would link in. I will happily say that I was pleasantly surprised. Loved the main leads, though at times I did find their kissing scenes a little awkward to watch. I don't if that was how the character is meant to be portrayed during the intimate parts or if that was the actress herself.
However I still thoroughly enjoyed the show, it was the first Asian drama that I couldn't stop watching. I had to force myself to stop so I could go to bed, ready for work the next day and as soon as I got home, it was on as soon as possible.
I have rewatched this show several times since then too.
