Best Drama
I absolutely love this show. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing. I haven't seen this type of story done in a BL before and it was executed so well. I can't find any faults with the series myself as I felt it was done so brilliantly. I've rewatched this series so many times since it finished airing. It's the best BL I've ever seen. I highly recommend watching it to see for yourself but it's truly a work of art.The people behind the scenes from the script writer(s), director and all the other people responsible for this show did a great job. It's not a surprise how many people live this show as it is truly magical.

Best Korean BL
I honestly like the cast of this drama especially the main cast, with a good story and chemistry from them is also good. Maybe if you can hold a second season because you are still curious about the next story. For 2024, maybe this is KBL with a good rating. And So far for the world of Korean Boys Love Drama is very good and maybe a little desire from us as KBL viewers that there is a need for an increase in the time or duration of airing and the number of episodes in each KBL. Success for love for love’s sake.Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing, well acted, soft but angsty drama
Not much that I can rave about without spoiling but if you’re a fan of Korean BL you really need to watch this as in my opinion it really tops a lot of them and stands up there with all the best. The acting and writing is natural and real, and the scenes come across emotional and not flat. You feel for every character and what they’re going through. The plot is also very unique and not something you usually see. Since the main character is in a “video game” all of his actions might have consequences or are done to avoid a certain consequence which was a unique element that added urgency. Anyways, the main couple also has amazing chemistry which is also important so you don’t need to worry about that. Just watch Love for Love’s sake you will NOT regret!! It’s super short and gets interesting near the end!!Was this review helpful to you?

Best drama I’ve seen in months
I absolutely LOVED this drama- the story way amazing- I never got bored- ugh it was just amazing.The premise of being stuck in a game is such a cool idea and I loved how in the later half of the drama they changed it up with the world getting corrupted and all the errors- kept the drama from getting boring and had me hooked till the end.
I’m not sure if I interpreted the ending correctly (please tell me your thoughts) but I loved what they did with it. In my head I saw the ending as he was dead and the whole time the „game world“ was heaven/a dream? And the senior he kept thinking about was god or an angel. I’m not religious by any means but that’s how I took the ending and I really did love it.
The romance was so adorable and the scene where they broke up had me in SHAMBLES. The actors were amazing, the story was amazing, everything was just amazing- I can’t praise this show enough.
If you are reading this I’m assuming you have seen the show (if not stop spoiling yourself) and I wonder if you enjoyed it as much as I did !!

Fondness: Level Infinity
I don't know if what I would write would contain spoilers but here goes everything!Myung-ha is such a lovely character, it embodies love and gentleness. It is such a great memorabilia to witness a character of his, it makes me realize that a character would exist to make me believe that somehow there is a person out there who would be just like him in many other ways.
Yeo-woon, a vulnerable yet strong character. What a sight to see, where he embodies the characteristics of a person who experiences life in a shocking way, losing someone and somehow everything you have been doing for so long becomes something you do because you have to continue and that almost everything feels forced upon you. Such a realistic character.
Both characters evolved and improved individually and as one. I love how they blended to fit each other's missing piece ❤️
I'm such a romantic when it comes to my reviews (and bad at it as well ?) but it is such a nice refreshment (also for my tears ?) after a while of hardcore series that I've been watching!! ❤️

i love everything about this drama.
the ost: geez, its so catchy!
the acting: i love how every actor is acting with their whole body. the nuances were great. don't let you fool you from the first kiss. ;)
the plot - how it's unfolding episode per episode.
the humour: i am a sucker for sarcasm and goddamn, myung ha serves really well.
the characters - i hate love triangles, but love for loves sake serves from this day on my favourite love triangle, because all the characters are just absolutely likeable and endless adorable. loved myung has self-talks. but also yeo woon has such a golden personality. they all have their flaws, but it doesnt make them less likeable. at most even more relateable. i clicked with all the characters a lot and thats also the reason why i am that much emotionally connected to the drama. my eyes got teary all the time towards the ending.
the pacing: i wasnt bored at all. not a single second. i devoured every scene and rewinded all the time, to see some parts multiple times (it took me 14 hours to finish this show lmao)
the depth: yeah, you will realize pretty quickly that this show serves absolutely nice humour, but is also capeable of way more than just being funny.
the emotions.
everything.
i expected a light, fluffy, funny drama. i loved the game theme! i like transmigration and it sounded fun. but this drama is really not compareable to any other bl out there. its refreshing, new, innovative. it had me seated and i was so overwhelmed, because i got really excited and thrilled in a short time.
the ending was absolutely satisfying. for me, it wasnt predictable at all. i was so stunned multiple times through the show and that got me even more excited, because most of the dramas today are a bit boring, when it comes to this. they use the same old tropes over and over again and you already know what will happen. but love for loves sake surprised me multiple times and that made me sooo excited. its thrilling. and i couldnt imagine a better ending for this show. 0.5 stars reduced, because there are things about the plot, where i am not fully sure if i understood them correctly. if they would have made them more clear, it would be an easy 10/10
The wait was ABSOLUTELY worth it and i dont miss any second of the 14 hours, that it took me, to finish this drama.

What a Ride!
I must admit that this series is an astonishingly sophisticated and complex story to navigate. This story may also be the beginning for the creation of fictionalized BL worlds blending video gaming with reality, an interesting new format to say the least. Since I do not play ‘video games’ and had no idea of the lingo or the rules for computer gaming, this was a challenge for me to traverse. I had to stop and find definitions to terms I am unfamiliar with, admittedly. Additionally, this series uses a combination of allegory, fantasy, and twists to realities in an almost Avante-Garde fashion. And the story itself is oblique and sometimes enigmatic. This is not your standard BL series by any means.Was this review helpful to you?
If David Lynch made a BL, it would be this one
Damn this one was good. Like really really good. Who let David Lynch direct a BL?? Who knows! But I really loved this one and it deserves all the praise it gets! I did initially knock half a point down for the seemingly slow start but after that hurdle it was smooth sailing from there! I believe I'm not exaggerating with my 10/10 rating. This series is so good it made me get a subscription to a streaming service, I mean if that doesn't sell you idk what will.Was this review helpful to you?

Unique Story
This was very good series. I normally do not like Korea BL because even with high budget, facial plastic surgery handsome actors, the acting and pacing is usually terrible. The kissing scenes were terrible in this drama per usual, but the final scene showed warm hugging, without hands in pockets or being 3 feet apart, and without being awkward. The storyline was very interesting, and mysterious, and very unique. The acting was pretty good too, and except for the known villains (the rotten parents), the adults in this series were not that terrible. The messaging of this series was very positive, and given mental health issues in Korea, it was delivered very clearly, and succinctly.I recommend this series as it has drama, humor, angst and comedy, all wrapped up in an interesting story and great cast.

The story is so good
This bl is one of the most interesting and best bl I have watched and it's a 10 star and fully recommended. The story us about a 29 Yr old man who try commit suicide but is given another chance to live himself by the death through a game where he needs to fulfill his missons while doing, his structure of the game changes which is to date cha yeo woon, a cold boy but his other side is so different. And the plot is amazing. The story and acting is jus so good I don't know how to express it in words ?. And the actors are also soo good loling. Just fully recommended ?Was this review helpful to you?
Everything should be started within ourselves
To be honest, I'm still a bit confused about the storyline since anything related to sc-fi thingy is really not my forte.But overall, I can understand the big moral story here, that everything should be started within ourselves.
We should love ourselves before loving others, should be happy before making others happy, because how can we make other happy and loved if we don't have those feeling in ourselves?
The acting was great, I love to see Lee Tae Vin specifically because he could portray his character really well, the sadness, frustration, depression, and happiness, all those could be seen in his eyes, in his expression.
His chemistry with Cha Joo Wan is something that make this series loved by many. It is no wonder that this series has got such a high rating here.
The kissing scene at the beach is actually sweet and romantic but somehow the background music was kinda annoying for me.
It's really a worth to watch series, highly recommend it.
