12 eps in and I'm honestly having a blast. It's such a silly drama. Very, very, very silly. But then, it does take place inside a PC game so, you know... There are huge (!) leaps in logic, maddening shortcuts in story-telling, whenever the FML is stuck in a situation she can't get out of, the deus ex machina System appears and helps her out - all the things you actually expect from a PC game so is it a bad writing or actually a great writing? Who knows, not me.

But I still love it. Yes, the FML is very, very, very silly - I seem to keep saying that - but she is a gamer playing a game, it's not real for her, any of it, she's just having a blast and going on adventures with no consequences to her actions because she can reload the game any time she wants - exactly 5 times, that is. And it takes time for her to actually start caring about the characters in the game as if they were real people who could die - and they can. Because even though they come back to life once she reloads the game, their memories from the last save to the reset are gone so are they still the same people?

And because the FL behaves like a nut - at least in the eyes of the NPCs - it explains why the ML (played by Gong Jun) treats her the way he does. Sure, he's a tsundere - for very good reasons - but she pushes all his buttons - and he hers - so it's not your usual situation with a poor, oppressed woman and an arrogant guy, it's a push and pull of misunderstandings and mull-headed stubbornness on both sides.

Also, I really like the ML's bodyguard - he's so amused by his lord's endless fisticuffs with his lady - and the ML's best friend. I love how the leads draw everyone in their mansion into their petty fights, it's much fun.

That's pretty much it, in general, fun. You can't take anything about this drama seriously. It's not meant to be taken seriously, really. It's a drama about a love story set in a PC game, for cryin' out loud. And it shows!
