Eight Hours (2022)

Fun time

I'm giving it a 8.5, not because the writing or direction was exceptional. Its actually far from that, the writing has a lot of weaknesses and the post-production is very rushed.

The reason I am rating this drama so high is because the setting and plot is very unique and extremely exciting. This drama is a fully immersive experience in a futuristic world. It had me thinking about the implications of augmented reality on society and people, what if we're really all just in a game, how this could be our future in the near future and more. Overall, I really love how immersed I was into their world.

Romance is extra cute, adorable and mushy. Nothing more to say, watch it to find out.

Its a matter of time before the people who love isekai, transmigration and AR find this drama. Its really a hidden gem, if you like letting your mind drift into another world, this drama is for you,

need better editing

Choppy editing makes it seem like the story is all over the place but if you're patient enough to follow through, I think you can see that the story is good. There isn't much character development but I don't think it needed to be: both FL and ML are already the top players in their field and the story is about how to solve the problem together. Absolutely love the friendship and loyalty (Jia Liang) and I have to say someone I thought was going to be annoying turned out to be wonderful, smart and reasonable (Ding Fang). The villian side is a bit dull and easy to guess, there're some ridiculous love obsessions. But the ending is nice and neat.

I feel like the role was written for Xiao Yan. She played dual characters like this before in The Legends with Bai Lu. Who dressed her up with those ridiculous hairstyles? LOL
