have you finished the first 10 episodes? which leads is your favourite?
Finished Ep 4.
Like all the 5 mains, they are pretty unique in their own way and are at different stages of their goals, ambitions etc etc.
ML & FL don't get extended time like other dramas and this could be due to necessity to develop the 5 mains in the initial episodes.
ML is pretty much my fav at this point, his character is pretty easy going, friendly, grounded, sometimes unsure of his place in the larger world he is exploring - pretty much unlike your typical Cdrama ML. And we get glimpses of how awesome he can be. next fav would be the 3rd ML. Frankly, this guy is pretty much stealing the show in the initial episodes. FL looks to have led sheltered life and it pretty much reflects but she is not dumb. She is pretty much a child at this point in the drama. Has great chemistry with everyone. 2ML is looking little flat for some reason (he could be the ML in your typical Cdrama, little cold, bit reserved etc) but we get to see glimpses of great dynamic between him, ML and the FL - No, at this point there is not even a hint of love triangle but we do get hints of romance between ML and FL.
This is a remake of the Korean drama "I'm Not A Robot." In the original, the disease is just used to illustrate…
I was being sarcastic.
in Kdramas, the ML's are better portrayed than in Cdramas. So, when the Kdramas portray a ML with some weird disease, I can see how it fits the larger narrative integral to the story.
BUT in Cdramas, the ML's are just one-dimensional. If anyone has seen 1 Cdrama, they will see the same ML being repeated in every other Cdrama. Whether the ML has weird diseases, rich, poor, trauma or not...all the ML in Cdramas are pretty much the same. the ML having the disease in Kdrama makes sense but in Cdrama it does not. Simply because whether they have disease or not, trauma or not, the Cdrama ML's in every drama are exactly the same. The ML in this drama having that particular medical condition does not make him any different to the dozens of other ML's portrayed in other Cdramas this year.
A Cdrama ML, who is a CEO and can only touch the FL....
remember seeing half a dozen dramas with same concept.
Why do Cdrama ML's have these kind of weird diseases? Since these diseases are men specific are Chinese authorities doing some research as to why rich and successful young male CEO's are being afflicted with them?
@ mooc If you think it garbage then don’t watch it !
This is another thing....why would a CEO be emotionally constipated?!
The writers of these dramas are so incredibly out of place with reality. CEO's by default have a very stable EQ. It's the nature of that position to have absolutely incredible ability to connect with people. One of the CEO's primary job is managing people. It's hilarious watching Cdramas project CEO as emotionally stunted. Reality is, every CEO can discuss Einsteins theories naked in front of 1000 people, which is being televised without flinching.
This is not just applicable to CEO's. This applies to actors, doctors, politicians, professors etc etc. All these professions demand people to have high EQ.
Watching Cdramas make mockery of men in these professions is basically stupid writing. These dramas want the FL to end up with handsome CEO's but don't want the CEO to ever look at other girls. So, they come up with 'emotional damage' stunt, which makes no sense.
This was a damn good drama, a Wuxia & romance that delivered on what it promised to do.
The story felt rushed as it approached the end & few extra episodes would have served the drama better. the FL needs to do something about her eye-brows. At times they looked bleached and my eyes were forced to look at them than her wonderful acting.
The love story was confusing as hell for me too.For first few episodes, I thought the ML was gay.They had a montage…
Completely agree with you, I enjoy Asian romances more than the western ones.
These are minor quibbles, the drama was exceptionally enjoyable. This drama is my second fav drama based on games.
Think my only take was that the ML in every Cdrama is very similar & that can get boring pretty fast. Although I don't want them to create a ML similar to reality, I hope they vary as the FL do vary.
@ mooc If you think it garbage then don’t watch it !
After being in love for 20 years with the crush! Even with her he never moved on for a decade.
Thats another thing I am confused as hell as well. Cdrama FL always go for looks. the FL in this drama meets the 2ML in uni and took her like a look and 2 seconds to start drooling over him.
The ML on the other hand never shows an iota of sexual attraction to opposite gender - ever. Even with the first girl, he loved her. There was no physical attraction shown. It was pure love because he felt the need for her in his life. This basically was a prop used by the drama to keep the ML away from other girls. Cdramas use various unbelievable props to neuter ML sexuality. In fact, watching ML in Cdramas is so unbelievably cringy. They are so fake men.

In reality gamers are some of the horniest men in existence and now a days they get the prettiest girls using the same games.
Let's be honest, if a man says he is not interested in girls, there are 2 possibilities. He is lying or he is gay.
Men, after they hit puberty are pretty much horn dogs. They don't care who it is as long as they are getting some action.
Watching Cdramas, I am often confused if in China only women have sexual feelings and men only fall in love and that too once. It is really confusing watching Cdramas in particular where ML is shown to have no sexual feelings for hot girls!
@ mooc If you think it garbage then don’t watch it !
She waited for him for like 2 seconds before going to the other guy.
meanwhile, the ML for some strange reason will not look at other girls even when the FL is with another guy. It is unique to Cdrama ML's. They will never show an iota of sexual attraction to girls.
The worst thing about this shoddy drama would be when the 2ML screws the FL, at the point ML will crawl back to her and beg her to take him and he will worship her because she took him.
As always it's the 2ML who turns typical Cdrama FL into a used condom. This was supposed to a strong FL, instead she turned into a stupid one. Rule of thumb, never date stupid men or women. They will drag you down along with them.
Modern Cdrama romances are hit or a miss. When they miss, they miss by a lot.
Oh damn, they sneaked in a mouth to mouth medicine exchange.
Huge fan of this set up. This is a good cliche BUT they could have done better, the ML was just kissing the lip of the girl. It needed more contact. Next time, please go all out, this literally is a scene where fluids are being exchanged mouth to mouth.
@ mooc If you think it garbage then don’t watch it !
Yes, stopped it.
from watching few Cdramas, i can narrate how this goes
2ML will screw the FL eventually. the simping ML who will keep waiting for the girl who never waited for him, will eventually be brought down and suffer more in love and business. Basically he will become the most pathetic version of himself. FL after seeing true colors of 2ML will go back to ML who is waiting for her like a dog. Then they will combine and resolve some issues.
There really is no reason to watch a drama that has been repeated in numerous other Cdramas
It was very impressive. FL acting was superb. The way she portrays her guilt and how it consumes her to the point where she disregards everything for a single purpose....

Watch a few of these dramas and you just might become an expert at answering the question yourself.
The FL needs help.
Both of them are traumatized and are hiding from the world.
One is full of guilt and another is in rage at her dreams collapsing.

She openly stated how much she liked the other guy.
Btw, in Cdramas why don't ML respect FL's choice and move on when they show love other guys or are dating other guys?
the ML always wait for the girl.
is moving on a thing only for girls in China? Don't men move on when the girl is not available or rejected them?

FL's guilt is killing her. She was very young and scared & eventually the guilt of the whole situation was too much to handle.
ML is a sweet heart.
More than their love story, it's the friendship they bring to each other that is more endearing.
