House built on lies ... a script built on cliches
First... ZL was excellent, and continues to solidify herself as top tier actress.Second.... story and premise seemed far fetched but started out great, then it lost cohesion, creativity and general interest. I was left with more questions, I don't think the set-up was strong enough.
Third...I hate that it became so cliches and predictable, there were possible storyline that if explored and written better would have elevated the entire show, especially parental relationships. The chemistry between ZL and WC wasn't that strong to begin with, and then it was just non-existent. Almost all the couple were very disappointing except Haoming's parents. Also why do writer's introduces the most bizarre story line towards the end of a show, you should be wrapping up your storylines not introducing new ones? weird
Fourth... I LOVED the OST the most!
Fifth...This can pass the time, 32 episodes a bit of a stetch as I was fast forwarding a lot of the episodes in the second half

A show hasn't hit the spot like this one in a long time!!! Watch it now
This show was very very very close to perfection for me. I don't even know where to begin in my review... This show went straight into my favorites, which is hard to get in to!The cast...? perfect
The story...? It worked so well
The OST...? so so fitting
The acting...? every person nailed it, including the villain. The lead actor for me was PERFECT, I know I liked him but wow, he really nailed this role.
the friendship ....? couldn't be more in sync
The action sequences...? oh so lovely
the comedy...? always landed
The length ...? I wanted to MORE, and it seem the door is open for a second season!!!
Ya kudos to everyone to who brought this be.... they absolutely cooked on this!

Amazing. Poignant. There's Only One of You In this World
Wow... this was spectacular on all levels. I appreciate the very very very well written approach of such a sensitive topic, while weaving in a thriller and fun series. We can always choose our actions but we cannot choose the consequences, and they tend to be far more reaching than we can ever think. Death is truly not a game and unlike this story we don't get 12 tries to learn the lessen.Keep living, keep hoping, keep loving no matter how hard!
All the actors & acting was on point, each character drew you in and told their unique story through the protagonist. as for the lead actor, this is my favorite work of his!

Couldn't keep me ... Black Dragon
The show started out unique with the gaming arc characters and the connection between the leads younger selves.. but after that?... Cliches were coming out from every corner and not in a fresh way, and some of the writing didn't just stick. I really like the ML as I have loved his other work... but something was off with this one ... there was no chemistry between the leads and unfortunately could not keep going and I refuse to make myself watch all episodes.The OST in the 4 episodes was great however
If you feel like you have the time, I guess this can be a time waster.
