The eGaming wasn't my thing and the cold/distant ML didn't appeal to me.
PS: as a matter of principle, I do not rate shows that I have not seen at least half of their episodes.

OMG... that -morally and legally- insane plot twist !
I almost dropped (I should have !) the drama because how disturbing that revelation was but I completed it waiting for the FL to drop that shitshow with each new episode... Well, there's NO WAY IN HELL I'll watch the 2nd season.

This is not a very interesting drama and the ML's cold attitude, especially towards the FL, lasted way too long for my own taste. Been there, done that ! Let's move on !

See my full review here: Love Me, Love My Voice Review (Chinese Drama 2023) | Ariane - MyDramaList
The premise was genuinely engaging and the first 3–4 episodes were enjoyable.
Then, what began as a cute, quiet slice‑of‑life romance quickly turned into something oversweet, repetitive, and almost aggressively conflict‑free.
Ironically, that’s exactly when the story lost whatever charm it had.

For me, the lack of nuance, the absence of character development, the overly sanitized tone (borderline propaganda‑like), and the (over)sweetness made it a genuine struggle to finish.

In the end, the sweetest thing about this drama was the relief I felt when it ended.
