good modern romance, but why is it so hard to create a plot that lasts 24 episodes?
when I began watching this one I read a comment that said "it would be great if it had only 10 episodes" and I must agree... the acting is amazing and the characters are actually >really< well written, but the story starts to drag itself because you just have so much time and not much things to develop (enter some random plot lines)... and you can't even blame the writers because they did tried to delay them being together at maximum...anyways!
overall I enjoyed the story! the first part was a little bit hard to keep going because the female lead was clowning herself and de male lead was being mean without any necessity, but after the misunderstanding begins and the female lead really starts acting like any woman would, the story gets really fun!
what I enjoyed the most was because the story takes time to happen... for instance, they start working together before they graduate, but only get together a year later (I think) and this is a nice move for me because, for me, this means that their feelings and their mentally developed? in a way like the female lead was obsessed with him at first (without knowing him very well) and now can really get to know him and the same thing with him that nurtured this passion for her in an online world and now can discover different sides of her, etc.
in the end I really wanted to give this one a 5 stars just because is not that cringe kinda of plot 😅

Quite good drama
I like the chemistry between Lin Yi and Zhou Ye. The way they portrayed the character is amazing. But but but... I think a little bit of story is getting boring around episode 12 to 15 but it's okay. Lin Yi is one of my favourite actors in C drama. And I started liking Zhou Ye after watching "love me , love my voice". But it is worth watching.....Was this review helpful to you?
Cute drama if you want something light-hearted and fun
The drama was super cute and was quite enjoyable. I had fun watching a few episodes every day when it was airing. I think that I enjoyed this drama more than if I had binged it because of the excitement for when certain plot points happen because I had enough time (days and weeks) to digest and indulge.The drama is about ML and FL who know each other both irl and through gaming, in which they are good friends. The FL falls in love with the ML in person, confessing to him, which he rejects because he likes someone through gaming which happens to be the FL. The story is mainly about the relationship arc of the FL and ML, as well as the work of the FL and ML at a gaming company.
I think the plot is where the drama falls the flattest. I think that the general setup of the story was fine, it's just that the amount of time that it took for the FL at first to chase the ML felt too long. I felt as if that part could have been shortened with time in their relationship since the part where they are together felt like it needed to and should have been longer. Nevertheless, I did enjoy anticipating and watching the moments where both the FL and ML find out each other's gaming identities, as well as the overall arc of the main couple's relationship and the company plotlines.
I thought that everybody did a pretty good job in the role that they had. I think that the chemistry between the leads was good but not the best. They each acted well enough for the roles that they had. I think Zhou Ye is the standout in this drama as she just perfectly captured the spunky and bold personality of Yue Qianling.
The osts were cute and lovely, just not the best that I've heard.
I think that I'll only be rewatching certain parts of the drama if I ever do want to.
Overall, it's a fun watch, perfect if you want to feel positive and happy after watching.

Nice drama to pass time
This is a nice drama...I actually liked the cast and their acting...what I really loved in this drama is they didn't took much to reveal their online names....Though I really annoyed by youkou cause they just released one EPs for one day that's a biggest crime...which makes people to loose their interest on dramas...
Which made me to ignore this dramas for 3 days...and they took plot too slowly after 13....it's my opinion.
I think they could have shown more content about 2nd lead...though their relationship is sweet...it gets annoyed some times...
I really liked leaf's parents...and their character tooo...
For all...this is good drama for me this is one time watchable...their is no negative feedback from my side...

'everyone loves me' is a good romance drama, there is a misunderstading that prolongs for a long time, but i don't think it makes the drama angst, just makes the quarrells happen for a long time. for me, it improved the development of the relationship better, since they had to go through all the stages of friendship. he ran after her, she accepted him as a friend, until they felt so much for each other that you could see the chemistry through their eyes.
i have two complaints about the drama in general
1. the ml has a situation with this mother that is never fixed (at least, its not shown)
2. the quality of the game they play together ir so weird... looks like cs but... cartoonish?
but if we ignore that, we have a healthy relationship, maybe more fights then we expect from a healthy one, but honestly bickering in relationships is so common i wish i could see this more often in dramas.
anyway, i looooooooove the actress that portraits the fl, she is so beautiful! i also really liked lin yi acting, but i feel like he is overrated? or maybe male actors are overrated in general and that just makes me more open and protective towards actresses. anyways. i liked the whole cast.

Nice, easy, low trauma watch with cute leads
I really enjoyed this series since it was easy to watch, mostly pleasant, and the leads were good. It does not break any new ground, and some criticisms in the reviews are spot on, but nonetheless I enjoyed the show. I really like the FL who did a really nice job playing the role from overly sweet (part of the plot), to in-your-face gamer and assertive woman, to geniunely sweet and empathetic. The ML, who drove me nuts in Put Your Head on My Shoulder (a series with one of the worst endings ever, although not the ML's fault) did a really good job here. I think the main couple did have good chemistry.My main criticism is the loss of trust by the FL for the ML near the end of the show. Yeah, it was brought on by yet another failure to communicate, but still. That was annoying.
The OST was pretty good for a CDrama. I bought a few of the songs off of iTunes (U.S.) by searching for this: 以爱之名
Anyway, for a light, fluffy watch, it is worth it. It was a good antidote to my just having watched Forever and Ever which was too heavy and slow. (Except for Bail Lu, of course :-) ).

A Lighthearted Laugh Fest with a Side of Silly Circles
Everybody Loves Me offers a delightful romp into the realm of romantic comedies, perfectly suited for viewers seeking a lighthearted escape without the need for deep analysis. This drama hits the sweet spot if you're in the mood for a hearty laugh. That said, the plot does tend to wander a bit, looping around in circles which may leave you scratching your head over some of the less sensible developments. But if it's fun and chuckles you're after, these quirks are easily overlooked in favour of the overall entertainment value.Was this review helpful to you?

Light and fun
I don't usually watch C-dramas and I just randomly saw the title as I was browsing in Netflix. Intrigued as I had zero idea about the cast, I find that the leads have a great chemistry, the push-pull factor and the comic scenes in between were fun to watch, however, like the other reviews, it was lacking in the fluff and romantic side when the leads are finally together. Cannot believe that their first kiss scene (a peck, to say the least) happened in ep 20. Other scenes could've done better, especially the anticipation on how they will officially launch themselves as a couple in their company, among others, but those scenes were cut short, or at least not given the chance to build on.OST is great and though some scenes and even the plot itself is predictable, at least this show has no annoying character who got much of the screen time or extends the conflict. The second pair has a balanced exposure with the main leads and no annoying backstory either. Though the ending feels a bit rush, wishing I would've seen the leads playing and promoting their own game.

Even a good plot can get dragged around
When I started this drama, it was going well. The first 7 episodes were really fast-paced and captivating. The hidden circumstances and the FL making the moves and the ML who has eyes only on the FL's hidden ID. They were so close but then again so far. Even the second couple also, they were so fluffy.The drama made sure that nothing was truly hidden. Just fogged up in the scenario. It's not even a misunderstanding. It just happens and I genuinely loved that idea. It wasn't cliche and it was new.
But then writers decided that such an original play was too much and added the agendas that popped the balloon. i dont want to spoil but elements like the unnecessary SML, making the FL immature and foregoing issues.
I get it. Its a drama. Its supposed to be draggy and cliche but when the fast-paced drama decides to take a turn, its not a good feeling. It was going a 10 but suddenly something changed and its still good but not the same.
The acting was good. Its great that they could pull a lot of hilarious scripts. Like the lion dancing scene. Couldnt keep a straight face. I could watch most of the drama cause the visuals were great. (Sorry for being vain)
The second couple however delivered. Through thick and thin, they were amazing. Not much jealous and cute.

This is a first for me....
This drama sadly I had to drop....This is a first for me dropping a drama with a rating of 7/10....
Reason I gave this a 7 is because the acting by the 2 main leads 'Zhou Ye & Lin Yi' was actually better than good, been excellent..... However sadly there is limitations to excellent.... Storyline pretty boring, bland, simple.... Support actors really not that great....
There is only so much that 2 main leads can carry this drama,... The romance angle relied to much on comedic repetition and when surrounded by the limitations I have mentioned that's when had to say dropping this drama at EP9....
Overall still very impressed with Zhou Ye & Lin Yi, felt chemistry between the two was very very good. Hope to see these 2 again soon in a better well grounded script & more experienced support cast.... Potential for these 2 together is there....

once again cringe with nothing new in storyline ...
i love zhou ye so much in word of honor and back from the brink but her last drama love me love my voice and now this are both very disappointing for me ... same goes for lin yi , i love all of his dramas but this one is out of range for me ...story is totally duplicate from Love 020 and love scenary but in such a bad manner that i can't even imagaine ... where FL harms her own image for a boy , Arrogant and rude ML who for his online crush rejects the FL in front of whole campus shamelessly ...
Can't we have a drama which requires character development before their relationship ... why recently there are so many romcoms where Leads started dating even before they knew each other ... i still believes in mature relationship not some kind of online crush ...
even the office stuff is so boring that i am just skipping continuously ... and on top of that their is that secretary of SML which is really boring as a character ... i do not know about others but i did not even like their gaming stuff ...
i am quite liking their chatting scenes but now he is using her chats to see her privacy which is more than disappointing for me ..
till ep 10 , i do not think there is anything interesting which makes my mind to keep watching ...
someone said right that there is no sparks between both our leads ...
Wish both of them had selected a good script ...
i am dropping this because his new drama coming from today and its storyline is far better than this ...
