This has to be one of the best Chinese Rom-Com "modern day" drama that ever existed
I've been a fan of Yang Yang since the Love O2O airs and finally he's doing RomCom drama. I too am a fan of Dilraba herself, so this drama is the perfect combination of the 2 actors I admire.
Firstly when I came to this drama, the synopsis turned me off a little bit since it's a gaming drama. For me personally, I grew up not knowing how to play electronic/computer games - as it is banned within the family, thus watching dramas that have game-themed story can be really challenging for me to understand. But this drama proves me wrong, I was able to follow along the drama and enjoyed watching it too.
Let me start by breaking down the characters:
- The characters are seriously one of the best Chinese television has portrayed. Not to be harsh nor judgemental, but coming from my years of watching dramas experience, female leads are sometimes, if not, often portrayed as weaker than men or as the drama often specify it as "rich man poor woman" --> and there is in fact a drama that is titled that way too! I always strive for equality between FL and ML character.
Hence this drama is the combination I was looking for - a well balanced 2 leads. Both Male and Female are good in their own ways. Though the male lead isn't necessarily rich, but he's very smart - might even call him genius. The female lead is successful, famous and makes a lot of money.
- I also love how the female lead is very mature in my opinion. She may not be mature all the time based on her actions, but what I mean is the female lead isn't portrayed as "the-girl-who-tries-too-hard-to-be-cutesy" type by making baby noises - as many Chinese dramas female leads/actresses use baby noises to the point where it is nauseating.
- The lead actors (Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat) are soooo pleasant to look at, I mean, what more can I say, they basically have museum statues visuals.
As for the story:
- I love the love story between the 2. I admit, this drama isn't something revolutionary in terms of originality - which is a typical love story between 2 leads who met by coincidence after many years, one being the other's first love. But because of good script and story writing, this drama deserves all the hype and success they have.
- The story doesn't have heavy melodramatic moments, which I love. Very light-hearted and easy to watch.
- As for the love story between the 2, it's enough to make me feel lonely because of how jealous-worthy they are.
- The duration of this drama is considered a mini-series in Chinese dramas, only 32 episodes - 30 mins each. Thus, this drama can be considered binge-worthy for all of you binge-watchers. Very brief and not too exaggerated.
For the rewatch value, I give it a 10, boy you don't even want to know how many times I've watched this drama. I seriously have a problem.
