Easy to watch drama about gaming and space with a great main couple

I wish my Mandarin was better because I think the meaning of some of the banter between Yu Tu and Jing Jing didn't translate well into English so sometimes I got confused but I still really enjoyed watching this show. Despite one of the main characters being a celebrity, the relationship between the ML and FL is surprisingly down to earth and low key. And in terms of conflict, much of it is internal and related to character growth - mainly ​Yu Tu's struggle between chasing his dreams and having financial stability to support his family, and this struggle to accept his feelings for Jing Jing.

I wish that they had talked more about their high school days because I'm so curious about whether Yu Tu had feelings for Jing Jing at all before or if it was entirely one-sided. It seems like right off the bat when they meet again he's willing to go out of his way to spend time with her (ie. commuting hours every single day and tutoring her in gaming) when they've only just met again and they weren't close in high school so I feel like there is some history behind that.

Although it was 32 episodes, I think it's really easy to watch. Their relationship isn't cliched / like the typical romcom, but they have good chemistry and cute banter and although it's cheesy I lived for the moments when Yu Tu's friends found out that he was dating a celebrity hahaha. After they become a couple, it does pick up a lot and I really like their relationship dynamic. He gets to pursue his dreams and she is equally successful and passionate about her career too.

I was definitely not expecting the show to focus so much on space and Yu Tu's job but the transition from gaming to space felt natural.
