Imo, Dai and Ikuo match each other better so I am shipping them instead of Shun
Dai's playboy vibe does put off to Shun negatively I understand, but I believed some actions including the Naked photo of himself were part of a young past. Who doesn't have a past? What I see of Dai here is someone whom has shown some form of maturity and responsibility despite being one of the youngest among the casts. I also salute his patience with Shun as Shun ain't someone he has handle before so he is partially learning on how to get to know him better.
Shun on the other hand is quite pessimistic. I don't deny him as a person. Just interacting with him is truly tiring. He might have gone through alot per say, but imo he needs to fix himself. From the interactions he has with someone whom he may have interest with, he seems to easily get turn off by things and thus display some sort of avoidant traits. He is not yet ready for a relationship because he breaks easily. One minor thing can trigger and turn him off even though there's nothing wrong. Can't imagine if he were to start living together with someone. To start a relationship, it's not healthy to have one change for another or so just to match their vibe. So if he can't accept Dai for whom he fully is, then it's better for them to just not get together and stay as friends or so instead. While Dai has some traits that I understand may put someone off, but at least towards Shun I can see he has been accommodating most of the times and he did tried despite not knowing or understand how. There's something about Shun that is broken and I don't think anyone can fix it for him other than himself. 23 is still young, can grow up as he learn to get over it by himself. Else every relationship he going to have will still fail. Waste both party's time
I like Kazuto from the start, but Usak made a very nice lasting impression though maybe his first impression wasn't as good as the last due to his work. It's just sad he is going abroad to work else he might have his chance should he be able to stay longer, but glad he did what he felt he need to do before he leaves so that there is no regret.
Being in a relationship is great, but having someone to have a crush on and confessed when you usually don't, being a more proactive person than the usual passive person for a change is definitely nice. I am falling for Usak too lol.
Taeheon has too little screen time maybe cause there aren't any reciprocating person or "drama" but I do wish someone could also see his charm
I only watched till Ep 5 to comment on this, this are the current 3 I care about.
YJ and MK. I don't really see the drama but just 1 person wanting to talk things out with the other while the other one probably was hurt and not ready for full controntational.
Just 2 person of different personality barely able to communicate properly.
Not too sure how their situationship came to an end when YJ says MK didn't seem to want a relationship at that point then the question is: Who asked who or both waiting to be asked by the other party to get into a relationship but neither initiate and then just turn out to assume not interested?
Anyways, while YJ's tonality here to MK wasn't very pleasant, but I can understand why he lose his cool because MK is basically an avoidant. Says he don't care and all but his actions don't walk the talk
YJ already tried to talk to MK at the start so that everyone knows that they know each other but MK has a different thought.
On the other hand, I do understand that being ghosted do hurt but I also understand that YJ thinks as long as he stop responding, eventually time will let both of them move on. Though maybe MK hasn't. YJ explained his actions which I feel is reasonable on his POV, but maybe MK still couldn't accept it. YJ is losing a little bit of patience as MK is being ambiguous and avoidant.
But at least the next episode seem like MK is ready to talk, so let's just see how their relationship may improve from there.
I don't approve YJ's attitude of being rude to MK time to time but at least I do see that he is real. Even in front of camera, he's not hiding his bad sides. I see the positive and negative traits of him as a person but let's be real. Even in real life, there are people we just treat differently and more negatively compared to some others. So kindly stop judging like you're a saint whom is kind to everyone lol
On a side note, I can see that SJ is a really good person, and I am not sure what's the deal with SM that makes 2 person go heads over heel for him. My Stan is HM
Question for you guys.. Is there at least a few times where you can tell they are into each other?
I would say it was more one sided at the beginning till the mid. More obvious near the end due to the time and things they went through together
Ruan Lan Zhu's pov is very obvious he is into 090 since the beginning. Then somewhere in between 090 fall for Ruan Lan Zhu but not as explicit in expression. The ban might have been more due to Ruan Lan Zhu's gesture and expression imo though I wouldn't say it was necessary to ban this drama for Chinese side since there's no physical intimacy
So from my understanding regarding on the ending, it's a Virtual Reality dream that Liu Jiu Shi (090) had. It could be an alternate world where the game truly exist but got time reverse (like the Moon in the Mirror clock) when it was purified and Ling Jiu Shi after 50 years became that creator of the purified game with this exact game model and idea instead of his friend whom made the Death one (though technically the Americans did something to his original creation they say)
The people 090 knew don't know him back in the real world after he woke up from his coma, but their names are correct. This means that there is something real regarding on the memory he had, and there is also something not real since everyone don't know who he is or what the game he is talking about. Virtual Reality? Augmented Reality? Could be both. But waking up without the existent of this game means that 090 can be the new creator of that game and bring the real life characters back to life in this same virtual world that he knew but without all the need to kill and die etc., and thus fulfilled his Dream. It took him 50 years, but welcome back. This is why the characters all become NPC in the virtual world where they don't age and live together again just like they once did in Obsidian. And the real world Obsidian house was someone else's.
The people who played this game came to know each other despite initially they don't in the real world after 090 invention of this Spirealm "new" game (Li Dong Yuan and Xiong Qi at their old age). 090 ended up using what he knew during his coma to create a Virtual Reality, a Reality yet not the actual Reality. People don't die in the real world if they die in game but they also end up being friends because of this game. Seems real, but fake. Seems fake, but real.
There are some more obvious plot holes especially near to the end of this drama. But it is still a very well acted drama with great scripts and settings. Hope the box office serve the production well because the production definitely is expensive. Kudos to all the actors, actresses especially the young ones like our Lead actors here. Although it's a covered up love story due to Chinese censorship, but can obviously tell the 2 ML are more than just platonic friends. Ruan Lan Zhu fell first although not sure if it's because he was programmed to know 090 in the first place, but 090 also showed the same kind of BL's concern especially near to the end. In the beginning it seem more 1 sided for Ruan Luan Zhu as 090 treat every friends like his family, similarly. But sharing experiences and near death together with Ruan Luan Zhu's care and concern can tell they feel the same for each other even if they didn't say it due to the censorship.
I only came to know about this drama a few days ago and binge watch this while putting a pause to every other things I am watching
The production budget in this seems to be very high, there are many actors, actresses and CGI involved. Actors like Liu Rio Gu playing double roles so well displaying maturity and playfulness in 2 different characters at such a young age was a really fanciful watch.
But ultimately, the 2 ML and their friendship with the others were the best to watch imo in this journey of virtuality. And it was really sad when the good guys died. Reminds me alittle bit of the concept of Sword Art Online anime and Squid Game. Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality. Thankfully nobody actually died in the real world and it was a dream previously
Tbh, it was a good watch when everything is at peace.
But I can't stand FL mum raising her voice whenever she argues. But at least she learned to understand eventually that not everything should be by her values. She said she was awkward with the ML and can't initiate a Convo but when ML initiates, she suddenly become a fangirl lol. All's good after.
Another thing I don't like is FL attitude at times. Sometimes she is a gaslighter, although yes she did apologise, but her apology wasn't so much of an apology. I think ML has high tolerance level, able to forgive and understand FL alot more times although she doesn't seem deserving at times. But then, she's the only person whom kinda made ML feel happiness, so it's good that they eventually they worked things out
Actors and actresses acting Hae-In's Grandfather, Father, Mother and Mistress lady are literally just siblings age irl and have to act 1 generation difference. Actors and actresses acting Hyun Woo's Father, Mother, Brother and Sister are also of similar age irl and they also act 1 generation difference. If everyone's good acting make thing believable, this is what call a good drama.
While I cannot rmb specifically, but VIU seems abit delay today regarding on Ep 8, as far as I have watched the previous Episodes, it's not release yet

Anyways, I want to ask if anyone knows where I can find the music used for this show, besides Dazed and Confused, 4ever by Glen Check

She gets close to him to find out the truth. And the truth is:
But I can't stand FL mum raising her voice whenever she argues. But at least she learned to understand eventually that not everything should be by her values. She said she was awkward with the ML and can't initiate a Convo but when ML initiates, she suddenly become a fangirl lol. All's good after.
