Allot of goo and sweetness surrounded by stalking and predictability
This drama is sweet but has so many stalkers in it that one may want to rename it to "Stalking scenery". The stalking here is portrayed as some kind of miss placed affection but not att all called out. The drama does however have a good balance of gooey romance, action and conflicts in it with the added bonus of the scenes inside the computer game, that add both action and sweetness to the drama.
The dramas douse however not come with anything a person who has seen c-dramas before has not seen before but it is well executed. The plot is extremely predictable.I'm not saying it as a bad thing. predictable can be fun and entertaining too. If I had a BINGO chart with c-drama tropes this drama would hit BINGO on several lines. It was actually pretty funny to watch as the predictable trope came along i really just wanted to tick a box or shout BINGO but had neither the Bingo chart or a list but you who have not seen it, I strongly recommend you try.
The music is pretty good, there is one song that keeps on playing over and over again while other songs only come on once or twice. It would have been nice to hear the other songs more and the first song a bit less. The looks the leads exchange in the beginning of the drama are so intense it reaches out thru the screen, but be were that once the tension between the leads is gone, the chemistry slowly follows. Which leaves us with the Lin Yis extreme charm and cuteness to hold up ones interest, and well it did the job for me.
When entering a C-drama I'm always prepared for the male lead to force himself on the female lead. And have almost developed a scale of between full on disrespect and rape 1 to 10 respectful and consensual relationship. This guy scores a 9 seeing he douse cross the line a little bit once but makes up for it later on and is over all very respectful towards the female lead. I am however not really thrilled over how the female leads interest for physical intimacy is portrayed. A little bit to much of the guy is expected to want it all the time while the girl is not supposed to admit to wanting it though she probably is just as interested just puts me off. Writers please lets start writing healthy consensual relationships with or without physical intimacy where both parts are equally interested in whatever they may be interested in.
The side characters in this drama where mid annoying for most parts and did not really bring much to the table so I decided to skip the side couples scenens mostly since I figured life is to short for stalkers as well as mildly annoying side characters, I recommend you do the same, it ups the enjoyment by quite a bit ;)
All in all a pretty ok drama to watch, allot of sweet gooey (more intense then fluffy) scenens, a very sweet male lead and a pretty decent female lead for most parts with an okay story line. If you are in it for the sweet gooey parts this is definitely worth watching but if you want something with substance do look elsewhere.
