Lean back and enjoy the ride
This is one of these hidden gems I sometimes come across unknowingly. The show is funny yet exciting. The “rooster-incident” in episode 2 was hilarious. In fact it’s packed with funny scenes that are so enjoyable. The game-part is the best I’ve seen so far and I have actually seen my fair share. You are constantly reminded that this is a game, with menus, options, missions, tasks and game pausing - and of course the game master Jack (wonderful character). Even the (happy) ending perfectly fits this marvelous virtual world and its characters.
FL is not the usual dumb and innocent girl that’s supposed to be cute but she is a bit of a disaster-magnet, LOL. I love that she gradually becomes a strong and independent woman who won’t accept the gamerules since they don’t allow her to choose her own path. Her fight for her to pursue her own love story is touching and shows a great character development on her part. Being in love with a NPC (game character) isn’t easy at all. I just love her to pieces.
2FL is also a very strong character that has so many good trades that you really cannot hate her wholeheartedly. Her fights with FL are both fun and fierce but she is not anywhere near evil as so many 2FLs are in these shows.
Both FLs are great actresses that really know how to convey to us the feelings and inner turmoil they have. Actually all the important actors/actresses are great.
ML is (for me) a bit problematic since he is made to be somewhat weak (supposedly introvert) but then again not since he is a great warrior. It is sometimes hard to read his facial expressions, especially in the first half of the show. He is an experienced actor so I guess it’s the directing that isn’t quite there (for me at least).
Besides the funny parts there is also an exciting and very entertaining plot in the game where FL has her mission to achieve in order to wake up in reality. When her mission collides with her feelings, we see various sub plots and lots of twists and turns. I for one had my eyes glued to the screen - loving every moment of it. OMG it’s good.
If I were to find something I would change it would be that there is a little too much about makeup. I know it’s the foundation of the story and the mission, but it was a little bit boring. Maybe because I'm not interested in makeup and therefore never use it. Other than that I wouldn’t change a thing.
So, if you love a great story with lots of twists and turns - and not one but two great love stories - this is a “Must Watch”.
