This is definitely a must watch it has a really good storyline especially for people who love games and if you have seen liar game like I had watched before this then you need to see this, I promise you will not regret it. However I should tell you this that there isn't really a romance storyline so if that's what you're looking for then don't watch this for it, even though it still does have a slight element but it's definitely not the focus of the show.
Story - So you must have read the plot already but it does not give much detail so I will tell you a bit more. A student enters a virtual game after his girlfriend goes missing into the same game, in order to find her he has to find out more about the organisation and therefore complete multiple games which mainly tests the mental ability to solve challenges but also physical strength in some of them. This was personally the best part of the show for me, the challenges as they were complicated but it was interesting how they found ways to solve it and there was always something that was unexpected. Obviously the show doesn't only focus on that and does explore friendship as well and trust in each other. However I did not give the story a 10 because it was an open ending and that was the only thing that made it disappointing but don't worry it doesn't affect the storyline in any way like it doesn't make you hate the show in any way, at least not for me it just felt slightly incomplete. This was also the reason why my overall score was not higher than a 9 as there could have been more it was a bit off a cliffhanger I guess and they did not answer all the questions about the virtual world, but who knows there might be a season 2.
Cast - I loved the cast especially the main character, who was amazing and his friend and all the people that the guy met in the challenges were really good.
Rewatch Value - This is difficult for me to say as even though it was good maybe not a rewatch maybe just the challenges but I wouldn't watch the other scenes as you already know what happens. To be honest you already know what happens in each challenge so there is kind of no point of watching it again but you could watch the scenes of some of the characters.
Overall - It was a good show there were incomplete parts to the story however it was a good watch and it definitely deserves a chance as t won't disapoint.

PLOTHOLES AND DRAGGY

The games were fun but almost a waste of time and some bunch of nonsense. It's not brilliant. It could've be simple but meaningful with strong logic but it failed to impress me.

They mentioned time and space but didn't even went deeper and uncover the truth about Die Now (Die Now have no motive and it's a BIG turnoff). Such a cliffhanger and still makes no sense.

About the last game was so draggy. How did it became a victory? So it needs the player a savior? LMAO I don't understand that part. The plot just adjust for the main character and no solid logic.

And how did Qing Zhi know about Xu Xiang though when she was unconscious the whole time.

Half of the series are pointless plus I don't like the ending.

Cliffhanger Cliffhanger Cliffhanger

The first thing I want to say is that if you can't withstand a cliffhanger,then you should drop the idea of watching this drama as it was released in 2017 and it's already been 2020. So second season's chances are almost nil.

Let me give you a honest review.

The concept of this drama is totally different. Different from every game drama.

Story:-

Story is simple. ML and FL are in relationship from 1 month. Then there was a man who died mysteriously and he was solving quiz or riddles with his friend related to the game. Suddenly FL disappears from this world and her memories from everyone's mind also vanishes except ML and his friend. Then they went inside the game and game starts. ML motive is to find his girlfriend who is stuck inside that game. He tries to overcome each level and of course he succeeds. A person dies in real world if his point gets negative.
The game is like a different parallel universe where you can use the game's card to buy anything. Everything there is just an illusion.

At the end ML finally saves his girlfriend and went to challenge the game Die Now and few of them were finding what an evil organisation is this and where is it located. Then the twist came that the girl ML saved is not the real FL but the illusion one and that organisation is in space. Yes, not on earth. Simply it can be said that this was an organisation made by the aliens.
And the story ends with a cliffhanger as the ML went to challenge the game.

But the story and the concept is great. Different. Sometimes a little funny.

Another thing in this drama is that the game only contains puzzles and mind tricking things.
As I expected some action too, and there was none, I was a little disappointed.

So if you are not afraid of the cliffhanger, you can surely go for it. It will not dissapoint you.
