It would say they are pushing it here. Often I see actors in their 20s playing 17/18y.o and I do just have to roll with it, but 32 playing 15 is too far. There are also a lot of Chinese actors who look crazy young which helps make it more believable, but this isn't the case here. But yeah I don't want to watch a child as a lead in a romance drama, that's gross

IMO, the rating is a little harsh; it's more like low 8s. There are issues, but there are enjoyable elements. The FL's character is sympathetic and likeable. The casting is weird, though; here they are supposed to be 14/15, right? None of them pulls that off. Hu Yi Tian definitely looks the oldest and most out of place. I fear that his playing so much younger is making his acting even stiffer. It's just blank. Even Tian Xi Wei doesn't look like a teen, but her acting is much better and more expressive.

ah, that's helpful, thanks . Will probably whizz through or drop depending on how the next couple of episodes go.

I'm on episode 14 and struggling to like the ML. He literally clogged the toilet and left it and she had to unblock it for him?!?! Did I read those subtitles correctly? I like the actor, but the character seems kind of gross and lazy. The FL is definitely flawed too- too much of a pushover, but I'm hoping we see lots of character growth.

I'm on episode 23, feel like I'm going to be stressed all week! I don't like the look of the ML's ex!

hahaha not what i was going to ask but wouldn't surprise me!!!

still fighting by end of ep 32?

Are they...

They almost always do, why not if it makes money? But I think it's usually the last 6ish eps or something so probably not until next week. That's just guess work though

Is it just me, or does the dubbing look a little dated on this? I feel like dubbing in Cdramas has come such a long way that I don't notice it anymore. I've only seen clips, and some of the voicework is out of sync. Is that an anomaly when actually watching?

i'm kinda glad, there's been sooo many FL rebirth dramas

so is this a rebirth story, or just the original book is a rebirth?

I really want to watch it, but I'm too fragile for a S.E and I have trust issues with K-dramas haha

Thanks both for explaining the school system, that makes sense. I do worry about 28ish adults whom are hung up on teen crushes but I guess they will live haha

Wait, I'm confused. I'm only on episode 9, but they went to school together, were friends/interacted, but they are both pretending they don't know each other? They knew each other so little that it's believable they forgot each other's existence, but they are still obsessed with each other after 10 years. Do I need a new brain, or do they need therapy?

Wow, just finished and I'm really, really impressed. It's not groundbreaking cinema by any means, but it delivers what it promises, and it executes it really well. Rom-coms can be great when done well; they don't have to be trash. This has all the cute scenes, lots of romance and happiness, but was still well acted, well shot with character development and pacing. The crescendo of the Pei/Qin family drama was satisfying, and the side characters felt like they contributed to the story rather than padding it out. My only critiques are that there are some plot holes in the VR game, and I didn't like Zhao Xiao Rou's makeup and hair. These did not distract from my enjoyment of the drama. A 9/10 for me.

This is true. I'm only on ep 14 so there's probably even more development I've missed. I only see it in moments in the show but overall I feel like their relationship has more balance than other cdramas I've seen where there's a rich man/poor women dynamic.

Respectfully I disagree. You may do those things in varying degrees when you're in love, but the idea of falling in love with someone because of how convenient they make your life isn't real love. You should love the person first, as a human being.

I dont like when the Rich/CEO/Boss ML falls in love with the FL because she does everything for him, fulfils all his emotional needs, cooks for him, cleans, serves him. That's not really love it's just convenient to have someone like that around. I feel like the FL falls into this a little when she's looking after him and protecting his identity, but it's much more tolerable in this show because he's at least also showing concern for her emotional needs early on and she just keeps buying him takeout haha. Also thank god she's not his assistant.

There's one thing that I don't like in Cdramas that this show does, but not as much as other shows... so I'm still really enjoying it, but it mildly annoys me
