overhyped...
I couldn't stand this show, it was too difficult to watch. The story was too cliché. If there was chemistry maybe I would've continued but the acting was quite bland. The best part of this show were the soundtracks; I couldn't stop singing them for a while. Other than that, I didn't like anything else. I'm not a fan of both main characters. The FL is well-known and her acting is always the same, immature and quirky which isn't always cute. She's not a bad actress, it's just not my cup of tea.Definitely overhyped and will not finish.

Too ridiculous even for me
I've seen a lot of bad shows, but this one was just ridiculous.Students acting like businessmen, computer science students knowing nothing about computers, a battle RPG game where you have to get married for absolutely no reason at all, petty fights and arguments, people falling in love left and right with their playing partner's fictional character and acting way too serious about it, and then there's the guy who IRL almost killed his friend the ML and instead of apologizing to him, he apologized to the FL because ML was in a coma and so she lost a battle, which are a dime a dozen.
And don't even get me started on the special snowflake that is the female lead who's apparently the only smart student on the entire campus and everyone wants to date her, meanwhile she falls in love with a guy in the game (ML) and quits the game because he doesn't show up ONCE.
Ugh, I'm frustrated just typing this.

Overhyped
First of all, this drama got to me recommended back when I was new to Chinese drama. Apparently this drama was supposed to be the newcomer- friendly but still exceptionally good drama. Well I was disappointed. I am actually surprised about how much it was hyped. Beware, I did not finish this drama, I also will not finish it.To start off with, the potential in the plot is not bad on itself, but somehow the way it was executed made the whole plot boring to me. There was no build- up moment, no real cliffhanger nor any moment created to make you hold your breath back anticipating for what's next. No, it felt like I was watching a monotonous dialogue. The only thing that could have saved this, could have been the acting of the main leads.
But let's go on on that, the acting was cutely bad. Cutely bad, because even though their acting weren't horrendous, the fact that their acting was boring multiplied to the already- boring plot. The main male lead almost held no expression, while the female lead felt like she did not fit the role. She might have, but she did not play the part.
Since I did not finish this drama, I'd say this has no rewatch value. Some people might love this drama, some might not. As a person that is not shy from heavy palace dramas and dramas with many episodes, this drama was just not my cup of tea. This is something I concluded of course after I explored other Chinese dramas.

The Casts r beautiful i cant even-
Yang Yang sLAYS, his acting is on point, but not a big fan of Zheng Shuang's acting BUT it's not bad it's just not as good as Yang Yang. Specially Kiss Scenes she just stand there like nothing happened.
I Love the Game element of the story that they make them act as if they're in the game,
The romance is very sweet, The character develompment > interesting.
the first 9 episodes are not as interesting after 10 but still as good.

Despite or perhaps because I don't play online games, I really enjoy the intervention of gaming with the immersion inside the game and personification it's the original point of the drama which bring some action and fantasy scene.
The main couple is great together. I like how they interact together and trust each other.
It's a sweat, soft and positive drama that will make you put up a smile thinking about it.

I honestly think this drama is too over rated. This drama was okay but nothing more. It was pretty simple and had a lot of clichés as in the guy being a cold and emotionless and the girl being warm sweet. Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) is extremely handsome and a great kisser but other than that, there is nothing else. I also felt the same way with Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang). She is very very pretty but she lacked the emotion to the point that is sometimes became awkward. There was this one scene of them kissing and it was just straight up awkward because Xiao Nai kissed Bei Wei Wei and but she didn't kiss him back and she just did absolutely nothing at all... I dunno there was just no drama at all to keep me interested and the characters seemed too perfect. Was this review helpful to you?
Awful acting
My main problem with this series was the awful acting, mostly from the supporting characters. I wasn't able to continue watching it. I'm not an expert, but I understand that if the issue is not with a single actor, but with many members of the cast, it is more of a directing issue.I understand that it is a series aimed at very young audiences, but that is no excuse for having characters that are so unbelievable and with attitudes that are not the best for that audience, such as the fact that the popular boy only has to wink at a girl, not even a previous chat, and she is the happy girlfriend.
Furthermore, I read that it has been very successful in China and other countries, which is why I was very interested in watching it, but I really don't understand how it became a success. Everything in this show seams so fake.
It's a shame because I've seen several series starring Yang Yang and I liked them.

Stopped at episode 12
It started out pretty good! But around episode 10 it went off the rails into a field of boring and repetitive.This is the second drama I've watched with Yang Yang as the male lead (the other one was You Are My Glory) and they have both been quite bad. I feel sad, because I really want to like his dramas, but I haven't so far.
If anyone has a favorite Yang Yang drama, please send a recommendation my way!!

It may be sound weird for m who is not into cdrama/taiwan drama. I have watched the cheesy and clingy drama i have ever watched and enjoyed it and that was "Well Intended Love" Despite a lovey-dovey couple, I did enjoy the couple in Well Intended Love but this drama...I dont even enjoy every single thing of the casts, dont tell about the story. STORY & CHARACTERS
They are only focusing on "Gaming" stuff and the casts were the character in that game which is I found it weird and new. I like it when they tried to mix between real & fantasy life but its not a necessary when they already have a solid story of the main lead.
ACTING
If we stare at our laptop for many hours we got & looks tired but they look as fresh as apples in the market that has been cleaned by the seller. Its kinda find me weird and the female lead...she is just having a beautiful face there is no improvement until episode 9.
MUSIC
I skipped a lot of scenes because most of them was game parts, I didnt listen to the music either..
REWATCHE VALUE
I dont want to rewatch and spending my times for this drama
RECOMMENDATION VALUE
1/10

The story was boring and the female lead was worst. You can clearly see that she is just doing her job as an actor. Only person i like in this drama is yang yang,although he too was just acted like stone,but atleast he did his part unlike nonexistant wei wei.Apart from that everything is crap,bullshit, and what not.
I don't understand why chinese dramas keep producing realising same kinda storyline over and over again???? Why???
This drama was exactly copycat of "The Heirs". Same crap,same aura,same away from reality.
In real world no matter how beautiful or smart you are no one will keep clicking pictures of yours,or keep staring at you,until unless you are a celebrity!!!
And the makers of these kinda drama keeps forgetting their own plot that they have shown the Male lead or female lead to be out of this world. Because some time people keep clicking photos and in next shot they doesn't even exist they are like invisible.
And those games scenes are so annoying and irritating. No story,no plot,no chemistry. NOTHING!!!
I really regret watching 6episodes,because judging from the rating i kept bearing that may be now it will get better but i was unable to keep up after 6th episode.
And i honestly don't like this kind of crap out of world away from reality story which contains too much cliche!!!

The way this story is told will keep your interest on for sure. It starts when Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) sees Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang) in internet cafe playing online game. It's kind of love at first sight and Xiao Nai decides to enter the game again just to pair up with Wei Wei and talk to her. Wei Wei is first surprised because Xiao Nai's online character hasn't been around for awhile and suddenly he wants to be a couple in the game with Wei Wei. But Wei Wei accepts because Xiao Nai's character is legendary. What's interesting is that actors actually act those parts when they play online game so they're kind of "inside" it.
Other players will talk badly of Wei Wei because she had just broken up a pairing with another character Shao Xiang (Zhang He) but Xiao Nai doesn't care and Wei Wei decides that she'll ignore bad mouthing about her.
Little by little Wei Wei and Xiao Nai gets closer by playing the game and conversing with each other. They start to like each other and decide to meet because of the game. From there starts a sweet romance that gets you squealing and smiling like an idiot to your computer screen.
I liked that even though Wei Wei is described as department beauty with good IQ she wasn't arrogant or anything. And she wasn't those weak girls either. She had strong and little bit sassy personality. Xiao Nai was handsome and quiet, kind of lone wolf even though he had his group of friends. But his personality started getting brighter when he met Wei Wei. I just loved watching these two together. And being romance drama fan, I loved how Xiao Nai knew what he was doing; he was caring, kind and protective of Wei Wei.
I love how they made this drama slice of life style. And romance was made slow paced so it felt like a real life, not like usual drama style where couple falls in love in just couple episodes. First dates between Wei Wei and Xiao Nai felt real too, they were awkward and cute because they didn't want to show each other their flaws.
Only thing I cringed at first is that when Xiao Nai kissed Wei Wei, she looked like a dead fish because she didn't react at all... but it got better later on.
Other thing I totally enjoyed and was a little bit disappointed that they didn't have that many scenes was KO and Hao Mei. There was a little bit of spark between these two and I would have loved to watch them develop a real relationship.
Only thing that annoyed me a bit in this drama was Wei Wei's best friend Er Xi (Mao Xiao Tong). I have seen my share of these kind of too energetic too cutesy characters. At times I felt like the actress went way too overboard with her expressions.
And I didn't like Cao Guang's character either, it felt like he didn't have his own brains at all because he kept believing everything everyone told him.
But otherwise this was amazing and all the time I was thinking "what, only 30 episodes? I don't want this to end" :D
Music was good but not exceptional. Very basic although they had couple funny background music tracks playing once in a while.
Pros:
+Sweet romance
+Main couple suit each other
+slice of life (I enjoy this genre)
+Xiao Nai's gang aka his friends
+KO and Hao Mei
+not overly dramatic in any scene
Cons:
-slice of life (for some people)
-romance is developing kind of slowly at first (again, I enjoyed but some people don't)
-annoying best friend character
Overall, a great romance drama without extra dramatics that I recommend every fan of romance genre to watch. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
