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....

It definitely had potential. Key word is HAD : (
Zhou Ye was experimenting here with a new type of personality for her, and she definitely pulled it off. The outfits and set were cute. The romance could've been cute. The script was not, throwing all potential this could've had into the gutter.Like every other comment here, the whole thing ended before anything actually started. You get some 18 episodes of bickering, weird coincidences, and basically nothing else? It's interesting to see though, because this drama seemed like it aimed for the no-love-triangles and no-weird-breakups trope which I actually appreciate. I guess it was a good effort, but it also proves that conforming to stereotypes and following the trends don't actually make for good works sometimes : (
That being said, if you love Zhou Ye and Lin Yi, you might give this a try. The first few episodes are funny and fine. In fact, I probably enjoyed them. That's my two cents : )

In case I ever edit this which I probably won't

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 ...

Wasted time and talent of great actors
i think i found everything messy in this drama because the storyline is itself very boring and meaningless ... i really do not understand their reasons of many actions ... Both of them are doing great at acting but they really can't save this storyline .this drama is a complete remake of love 020 ... where everything is same like FL is most beautiful in campus , she is also a gamer , both first met in game , she fell for him in real life and he fell for her in game firstly ...
do i should watch it for a FL who did such a horrible lion dance at her exam , she knew what she is doing is going to her own dignity but she keeps doing it untill she got rejected harshly in front of everyone . although her character changes but i think her past actions are more than annoying ...
ML is so arrogant , that i do not know how to continue ... she got late to submit to her work and he found out it was not her fault but still rejected her work and after than he apologies ... she worked so hard but he brushes her off with just a sorry ...
if he is so smart then i think he should be practical in life and not have an online crush whom he is so devoted on that he can even love the person he hated the most ...
FL 's friend is the worst friend who gives all the wrong advices to her and FL also follow her blindly ...
That secretary's social anxiety level is so high that i do not know how she even passed her school ...
only ML's bestfriend is the character that i like the most , but when he is going to start dating that secretary , i do not think he in his own senses ...
i did not even understand company ;s intention for bringing a ungraguate person for becoming a head of whole department ... i can understand he is talented but should not he should gain some experience if he is living in real life ...
Music of the drama is quite good but as i said it can't save the storyline ...
i really think one should not change their personality for anyone , because it is the thing you can't hide for long time ... i wish dramas do not continue these stuffs of split personality ...
as the romance have not started , i can't say anything about their chemistry ...
the thing i do not like the most is he is prying in her personal life by not saying that he is his online friend , she shares everything about ML knowing they do not know each other but what he is doing are completely against ethics ...
i will definitely try Angels falls sometime , because that has a more stable and realistic storyline full of emotions ..
Anyway , lets welcome this drama to my drop list ...

A typical Chinese romance drama with nothing new.
I was expecting something new, but as expected... the same obvious content I've seen before and the actress's acting was so cringy... I tried to watch it, but I immediately dropped this after seeing the actress's crying performance.Is it because I'm older... It's really hard to watch dramas like this these days. Her acting really makes my toes curl and I find myself frowning.
It just doesn't fit the acting style I'm pursuing, so if you enjoy it, enjoy it.

Once again the gamer is back
This drama enthralls viewers with its captivating storyline, which is further enriched by stellar performances from the talented cast. The narrative, at times, exudes the same charm found in "Love Scenery," particularly in the portrayal by Lin Yi himself. The incorporation of gaming elements adds an extra layer of excitement and intrigue to the plot, providing a fresh perspective for the audience. Moreover, the characters are meticulously developed, seamlessly fitting into the overarching storyline and complementing the leads' performances flawlessly.The visual aspect of the drama is also noteworthy, with graphics that not only enhance the viewing experience but also inject a sense of fun and accessibility. The director's finesse is evident in the smooth flow of the narrative, ensuring that the audience remains engaged from start to finish. Additionally, the music selection further elevates the emotional resonance of the story, enhancing key moments and leaving a lasting impact on the viewers.
While certain scenes may evoke memories of similar moments from other dramas, the overall experience is immensely gratifying and is sure to delight fans of the talented cast.

For Zhou Ye and Lin Yi Fans
I really enjoyed this drama, but that’s probably because I wasn’t drawn into it by the hype and pre-released trailers, which I think over-inflated viewers expectations.If you like Zhou Ye and Lin Yi, I’d recommend it. Don’t watch it if you want to see a lot of kissing and expect the couple to start a serious relationship from the get-go.
Here are the reasons why I liked it:
- Zhou Ye + Lin Yi (good chemistry in their “love/hate” moments, good acting in general)
- Xiao Ma Hua and Xiao Cao online relationship (+ online buddies)
- Qian Ling is strong, independent female lead who makes decisions for herself
- Gu Xun can appreciate and treat Qian Ling as a qualified, competent colleague
- The hugs Qian Ling gave Gu Xun felt more meaningful and heartfelt than kisses I’ve seen in other romantic dramas
Some weak points:
- story was a little too simple, but the novel they had to work with wasn’t that “meaty” to begin with
- it seemed out of character for Qian Ling to pretend to be overly delicate and helpless (it would be more believable if she was awkward in general because being around Gu Xun made her too nervous to be herself; that said, I personally found those scenes hilarious)
- the ending could have been better (everyone coming together to save the company was a little cheesy and they could have spent a bit more time with just Qian Ling and Gu Xun alone together)

feel-good, light-hearted, perfect for slow days
Just the right amount of drama to keep the story going forward but not too heavy that it’s tiring, and just the right amount of comedy to make it light and fun. I picked it up mainly to relax and it delivered. It’s not for people who are into complex storylines with intricate backstories and detailed plots. It’s the type of show you’ll pick up when you don’t know what else to watch and keep in the background. Doesn’t require much thought processing and is perfect for rest nights from busy/stressful work days!Was this review helpful to you?
Better Than Expected
This is my first drama with the two actors Male-Lin Yi and Female-Zhou Ye. I read many of the other reviews & would had normally past on this drama, but something kept edging me on to at least check it out. I agreed with another viewer I was hooked deep from the 7th episode. Their chemistry is second to none & both their good looks didn't hurt which was another hook for me.This drama was more than just about romance. It introduced us to the World of Gaming Industry with scenes that included China's Loyal Young Citizens and that the Gaming Industry Have Just As Many Dedicated & Committed Men and Women Like Other Top Professionals like Accountants, Architects, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers & Many More that would sacrifice sleep to pursue their dreams. This drama was an eye opener for me about this industry.
I was very satisfied when the romantic relationship of the two lead roles were finally mutual & then known to all.
A viewer commented wishing there should had been some dating scenes from the 19th - 24th episodes. I, for one, was happy their relationship was already established and maturing. It was good to see the focus from the 19th - 24th was on the Quest for Gaming Superiority and the Strategies/Steps it took as well as uncovering the weasel who was trying to sabotage their project.
It's has a Good Ending & Worth Watching. Yes, there were some cheesy scenes, but it added humor to this drama. I have added this to my re-watch list.
I am now a fan of Male Actor Lin Yi and have added some of his other works to my list (Memory of Encaustic Tile, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Love Scenery & Some of His Newer Projects. ) I have also added Female Actor Zhou Ye drama in Love Me, Love My Voice.
