One of the few where the couple remains intact

8.5/10 is my rating. This was a 2016 Chinese drama that ran for 30 episodes ~103 minutes/episode). The title O2O stands for online to offline from what I can tell. The male lead is played by Yang Yang who plays a 4th year computer science major and the top man on campus. Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) could have his pick of women but becomes fascinated by Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang), a 2nd year computer science student, who is a match for both his physical attractiveness as well as intellect. Both are top players in a very popular role playing game called "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Xiao Nai actually first notices Wei Wei as she sits playing the game.

Spoiler 🚨 Other reviewers commented that this is just a solid love story and I would agree with that. It is refreshing that little to nothing seems able to break them up once they come together and the conflicts are around overcoming obstacles others put in their way personally and as a couple. Xiao Nai is also emerging as CEO of his own gaming company that is on the cutting edge of the gaming industry. I really liked how this would switch back and forth to their roles and relationship within the game to outside of it. It was a look at how intense many people play these types of games and the fact that many such games serve as their own match making entity. It is fun to watch the two defeat those with evil intent using either their great intellect or, as in Wei Wei's case, stunning beauty. I did feel like it took awhile for the story to really take off. However, once it really got going I was pulled in. I would put this not at the top of my list but definitely towards the top. It is a great and very heartwarming drama that is well acted with visual stunning scenes.
