As others have pointed out, it's strange that you're comparing two unrelated dramas in terms of rating. Almost feels like you're hating for no reason apart from jealousy over this drama's success. But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I personally enjoyed LBL much better. I did like SOM, and while it was airing I was actively promoting the drama in the comments; however, after around ep 20 it started to get draggy which is why I've put it on hold. IMO, the writing is sloppy and overdramatic compared to LBL. The business scenes are dry and skippable in SOM, while the architecture scenes in LBL have people invested. You can have your opinion, but you're clearly outnumbered. So calling it "let's be real" might not be the best way to phrase it. .

No prob!

Oh! That's lovely to hear :) Thank you so much

I haven't enjoyed any weekend dramas after It's Beautiful Now...and that was way back in 2022.
The ones that followed just haven't clicked for me :(

yeah, I know...I wonder why they keep writing these scripts :(
Because even with the other transmigration dramas, no matter how good the rest of the episodes were, the ending always drags down the ratings. Isn't it bad for them? So why do they keep making these, ugh...

I know his costume dramas do much better, but I'd love to see him in a modern drama again :')

On the other hand, I can't resist the chance to watch CXX on my screen again :P

I'm a little scared to watch this because I don't like how cdramas deal with the whole transmigration thing :(
I don't want it to have some lame ending where they don't end up together or it turns out to be a dream, etc.

Right!! Chen Xing Xu is known for his masculine charm and looks ;)

This drama is not like those ones at all. The ML and FL clearly know each other's identities in real life. They become coworkers, and the romance takes place outside the game world. The VR is only the place that they first met at, otherwise their entire story develops like a normal rom-com.

This drama is relatively chill and well-written, hence the high rating. The actors did a great job and their chemistry is amazing!!

In case you're hesitating, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do give this drama a try!! It's beautifully written from start to finish, with relatively few complications or misunderstandings- the two leads communicate their thoughts and feelings honestly and sort out any issues between them quickly. Both are very likeable & hardworking individuals, and their respect and love for each other is very obvious throughout. Lots of cute moments guaranteed!

Thank you!
P.S- I think we've met before? Perhaps in the comments of Love Between Lines? ^^

Was planning to watch this, but just wanted to check how it is so far. Is the show worth watching? And do you foresee a happy ending for the couples?

This is what happens when you give delusional drama watchers a green flag, healthy couple in a drama -_-
they create their own problems

The funny part is, this is exactly what Pei supporters think romance is about 💀
They think oh, Hu Xiu gave him a bandaid, this means they have "chemistry".

Right? His actions give me the ick, it's almost harrassment at this point.

I am a fan of the actor and agree with you that his character is well-written and played. However, as evidenced by some comments here and elsewhere, certain viewers hold the above mentioned views. I was addressing them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's a little disturbing to see that some viewers would rather have the female lead end up with an antagonistic man simply because they think he has "chemistry" with her and he looks hot. It's ridiculous that negative actions and emotions are equated to so-called "chemistry". This drama is one of the rare occasions when we get a "green flag" male lead who is very mature and honest, and gentle with the FL and yet they seem to be bored with him. Beats me!

I assume it'll be due to the issue of Huxiu and Zhiyu's fathers. That construction accident. If they ever DO break up, that is.

I usually get bored of a show once the couple starts dating, but over here it's different- them getting together is making the show even more lovely and addictive. I'm literally giggling over every single interaction they have! Their back-and-forth banter is to DIE for :')
