Casal inabalável
Apesar de muitos falarem que a série é melhor que o filme, em muitos momentos eu discordo. Eu mantenho minhas impressões iniciais de que gosto mais do ator daqui e a atriz de lá. Já os problemas, são opostos, lá tem tempo de menos e aqui de mais.O começo desse drama foi penoso, bem ruinzinho e demorei pra me acostumar e pegar no tranco, no final porém, eu finalmente consegui aproveitar bastante!
Queria mais desenvolvimento para os secundários e tempo para isso eles tinham, assim como que a temática do jogo tivesse sido um pouquinho melhor aproveitada, mas espero que King's Avatar, que também tem o Yang Yang, consiga me suprir nisso. A química podia ter sido um pouco melhor também, talvez seja um dos problemas culturais que se ressaltou.
Mas em geral, o saldo fica positivo, um pouco acima da média, principalmente devendo ao fato de que o casal principal é muito maduro, não se deixando abalar pelos desafios os tramoias alheias, o que costuma ser bastante irritante, nisso aqui deram aula.

PERDA DE TEMPO
Tenho me dedicado nos dramas chineses, pois geralmente não tem aquele rompimento estúpido entre o casal principal e mal-entendidos como nos dramas coreanos. O dramas chineses que já assisti são geralmente bem construídos e com uma boa história de romance. Pelas críticas deste drama, eu resolvi assistir, mas me decepcionei completamente. Sem romance, sem ML e FL fortes. As cenas de beijo foram horríveis a FL parecia que estava desconfortável e que queria morrer.... ela beija muito mal. Não há qualquer momento de declaração de amor entre o casal.... não há nada.Enfim, não recomendo este drama.

Não é o melhor dorama já feito.
Sinceramente, eu comecei a assistir isso muito animada, pois segundo a sinopse, a história se passa no mundo dos videogames, porém, acabei me decepcionando um pouquinho, não era exatamente o que eu esperava.PONTOS POSITIVOS:
- A história é até boa em certo sentido, o casal principal se mantém estável e são um exemplo de "casal perfeito", que só existe na ficção mesmo.
- Os casais secundários não são muito explorados, mas eles realmente não eram muito interessantes.
- Há um casal homossexual, não é exatamente explícito por ser um dorama chinês, mas a gente entende que aquela relação é algo mais.
- A trilha sonora é ok
- A atuação pode não ser a melhor do mundo, mas não atrapalha na compreensão dos personagens.
PONTOS NEGATIVOS:
- A história mesmo sendo boa como eu falei, não tem grandes empasses com o casal principal e nem um suspense ou tensão realmente empolgante, nada que te impressione muito sabe?
- Existem muitos momentos e cenas desnecessários, e muitas coisas bestas que idolatram o personagem homem, personagem esse que apesar de "perfeito", educado e respeitoso com a garota, é muito desinteressante, não é um personagem que você se apega. A menina é mais interessante, mesmo que não tanto.
- A personagem principal não parece ser uma mulher de grandes ambições, o que é decepcionante, já que no início ela se mostra bastante inteligente e experta, mas ela não foi nada explorada no lado acadêmico, mesmo quando seu par romântico poderia tela chamado para fazer algo pela sua empresa, ele não chama e ela continua sendo apenas a esposa do chefe. Eles até tentaram colocar uma cena onde ela mostra que não é por ser mulher que é burra, porém, levando em conta o resto, foi bem irrelevante e bobo.
- Eu particularmente não gostei da humilhação que uma das amigas da principal passa, pois fica evidente que parece que TUDO gira em torno da garota principal, e que todos os garotos se apaixonam por ela mesmo não podendo tela, o que é irritante pois essa amiga dela sofre muito e tecnicamente é por causa da garota principal (mesmo que ela não tenha culpa por ser muito bonita ou algo do tipo), e a série faz a principal ser coitadinha na maior parte do tempo, o que as vezes pode ser irritante.
Acho que o grande ponto para eu ter dado essa nota baixa é a falta de realidade na série, e também o fato do assunto jogos ter se perdido em vários momentos. Temos um casal e pessoas que parecem irreais de mais, nem por dificuldades eles passam, é irritante. PORÉM, eu assisti até o fim pois muitas vezes acaba por ser fofinho, e eu queria saber o fim. Se você procura um dorama mais tradicional e sem muito assuntos polêmicos ou atuais, ele é pra você. Eu indico, mas não julgo se você não quiser terminar de vê-lo.

Melhor do que a sinopse diz
Foi beeeem melhor do que eu imaginei, pois quando eu vi na sinopse que tinha um paralelo com vídeo games eu fiquei com um pé atras já que não é um assunto que eu gosto muito. Por isso, as partes que se desenrolavam nesse cenário não foram as minhas preferidas e a maior parte que eu pude pular eu o fiz.É um história simples, não vi muitas reviravoltas e pra mim esse é um ponto alto no drama. Não há brigas por bobagens e o casal me pareceu bem maduro e confiante.
Eu gostei muito do ator principal, o Yang Yang. Pra mim o personagem dele levou o drama e o casal nas costas facilmente, foi intrigante e apaixonante.
Quanto a atriz que interpreta a Wei Wei só ficou a decepção. A atriz parece que estava ali forçada, ela tinha o carisma de uma porta e era o que parecia mesmo nas cenas de beijo, parecia que ela estava ali só existindo.
Apesar disso eu já assisti o drama 2x, acho que tenho um apego nele por ter sido o segundo drama que assisti na vida.

Casal Raíz
Sinceramente, eu não tenho nem o que dizer sobre o quão fantástico é esse dorama. Já estou assistindo pela segunda vez. Tiveram alguns doramas que eu procurei assistir só pelo protagonista, mas esse dorama é bom em tudo! As músicas são fofas, a conexão e o enredo se encaixam e eu sempre esperava a hora para ver o Xiao Nai brigando com a Luwei, mas isso nunca aconteceu justamente porque os dois tinham uma maturidade tão grande a ponto de não precisarem brigar ou discutir por bobeiras arquitetadas por n personagens. Isso é uma meta de vida: encontrar alguém que não brigue contigo, mas confie sempre a ponto de sequer precisar brigar. Assisto e reassisto mil vezes. único destaque são os efeitos especiais que não me deixaram tão contente assim.PORÉM... acho que poderia ter sido mais bem trabalhado na questão de romance. Nos beijos, parecia que a Luwei só ficava como uma parede, saca? Achei bem chato porque às vezes pensava que ela era meio sem sal. Fora isso, a amiga da Wei Wei é muito dramática por brigar por macho, viu? Odeio que caguem os doramas com essa bizarrice de macho sendo disputado entre amigas.

C-drama com clichés bem previsíveis e protagonistas sem personalidade alguma. A história é meio bagunçada e ao mesmo tempo que várias coisas vão acontecendo ao mesmo tempo, tudo é muito claro e não tem nenhum suspense ou algo que prenda a atenção. Na verdade todos os acontecimentos são bem infantis e muito forçado, a protagonista é sempre colocada no papel de princesa indefesa e inocente, o protagonista é sempre um Deus, frio, inteligente e exaltado por todos, o resto dos outros personagens são iguais a qualquer outros, parece que saíram de uma forma pronta, todos são igualmente desinteressantes e alguns são extremamente chatos e mesquinhos. Eu tenho o Yang Yang como um dos meus atores chineses preferidos, além de ser extremamente bonito ele sabe muito bem atuar, mas esse c-drama manchou o histórico dele, e com certeza não recomendaria para alguém que quer conhecer o trabalho dele, ou simplesmente quer um c-drama cliché para assistir.

1. I have no problem focusing in long dramas
2. I can be patient with the right plot and drama.
Since the first episode to the end, gonna say is cute, lovely, and NORMAL. And yes when I say normal, I mean about two people falling in love (ofc, in this case is a drama and always will be a drama) as a normal couple. Without dramatic plot twist, or mean people around (well, I'm not saying they decided delete all the stereotypes haha). And that's what I was waiting for, because sometimes even when I want to run away from my real life and escape to dramaland , in others I also need to watch a realistic and cute couple thing, as all these living in harmony around us.
I you want a refreshing and lightly drama, This is your drama!!!
Story 9/10
CHdrama needs to be better producing a drama.
But overall, the drama is good , the plot is plain but refreshing, and the leads have a good chemistry.
Gamers on board,
See ya!

*** What I Like (+):
--- Yang Yang is the Master.... Master at Kissing that is - too bad he didn't have a partner :(
--- Old Man Yu is most enjoyable character to watch .... The actor, Niu Jun Feng, is the best in the show! ... (just as good as he was in Battle of Changsha)
--- Zhang Vin is so very Hot looking as the brooding KO... too bad he didn't have much screen time.
--- enjoyable encounters .... nothing annoying.
--- Villains were not real bad .... some had a little bit of growth, a positive!!!
--- The Game scenes were shot well!
--- Good looking cast.
*** What I did NOT like (-):
--- Practically No plot .... nothing much happens .... no drama.
--- 2-dimensional characters .... No depth, no psyche ..... all the more kudos to NJF who made Old Man Yu shine!
--- Lead actress froze w/ open eyes as he passionately kissed her .... She's unhealthily skinny ... Does too many pout faces.
--- What's w/ the mystery of Mr. Beautiful and KO???.... It was probably a BL in the novel, they only hinted at it here .... but at least turn their friendship into something worthwhile!! .... not just shallow encounters :P:P
--- Her friend Er Xi is way too bubbly!!! .... trying too hard to be cute :P ... too much like a manga character .... a different actress could have turned her into someone cute and lovable ... ( I am thinking of Dilraba as the impish red fox princess in Eternal Love .... so cute and energetic w/out being annoyingly bubbly)
*** Recommended for those who like:
--- Refreshing love story, b/c no love triangles ... no angst ... trusting couple who talk things out.
--- fluff and cute scenes
--- No real villains
--- Don't mind that there is NO strong Plot .... and NO well-developed or complex characters. :(((
*** Not recommended if you want depth, complex characters or interesting plot.
*** Ratings
- Story - 3 .... simple, nothing there.
- Acting - 5 ... Not bad not good ..... some supporting were bad ... Only NJF's performance stood out as very good.
- Music - 5 ... It fit well ... bit too bubbly and "pop" for my taste.
- Rewatch - 2 ... only if in front of me, I won't turn around.... But I would never seek it out.
Basically, very bland and very blah!!!! ..... Not much to love and even less to hate .... If not for Yang Yang's kisses, there is nothing to watch.

This drama is a total hypocrite. It tells one thing and shows something entirely different. Supposedly, it tells the viewers that it's against patriarchy with the 'girls can be great at computer science too' bullshit. It preaches 'brains over beauty' and all that spirtual crap however, it 'shows' an entirely different story; for this drama, in its core is wholly patriarchal. The main heroine only truly gets acclaimed for her beauty and even though she is supposed to be this smart person with a trillion scholarships, we don't really see proof of her intellect. Sure, she wins a few games against other weak ass females but the moment she goes against a powerful male opponent, she loses which is why her MegaGenius boyfriend has to sit by her and dictate all the moves and only then, she claims victory. Like okay?
The male character is honestly, so overhyped and again, if we really try to find the heroine's contribution to the plot, you'll find none. She is supposed to be this brilliant computer junky and yet, when she does the internship (in a company filled with men) her sole job is to bring food, drinks and matresses to the guys who work day and night. Like??
So even though, on surface it looks like this unique drama with a never before seen plot, in its core, it is still filled to the brim with superficiality.
Now, lets talk about the cast and characters. The main guy is literally a robot. Like, the kid has no emotional depth whatsoever and so clearly the actor didn't have to tire himself by actually acting because all his role requires is to be a pretty but expressionless face. To make matters worse, he's a chauvinistic a-hole. And not in the 'bad boy' way, where you love and hate them, no, in his case you're just annoyed by him. He is literally so perfect and the only flaw he has is the fact that he can't cook. I mean, come on.
To be honest, between his extra hairy armpits, pre-pubescent face and red ears, he isn't really much. Also, what irked me is the fact that he treats his girlfriend like a pet (dog). (No kidding, she actually herself makes the comparison once.) And he's full of himself, sadly, without much basis.
Like the girl is having a fight with her best friend and instead of really consoling her or saying some meaningful shit he says, "She's a very small part of your life, while I'm your everything. From now on, you're not allowed to shed tears for anyone else." Now this is the exact fucking quote, no lie and the braindead heroine actually feels comforted by this. Deceased.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love his type; the cold, uncaring, perfectionist asshole who eventually thaws towards the heroine. We have Simon Bo, Kang Ma Roo and so on but all these characters have different sides to them and they show complex personalities, Nai is the same from beginning to end and I can't believe I'd tolerate a lifeless and boring as hell person like him in real life.
Now, the heroine: Sure, she's cute, quirky and very gorgeous and unfortunately, the only one acting in the show. But soon, you realize that she's recycling her facial expressions, so much that her acting becomes quite monotonous after a while.
Speaking of monotonous, the whole show is dead asf. Here are so irrelevant scenes that you just stare at the screen trying to comprehend why the hell are you being shown this unnecessary shit. The game scenes are depthless. The fighting scenes lack vigor. And I wanted to bang my head against a cactus, everytime the heroine interacted with her friends because all they did was act like juvenile brats and gushed about the main guy. I mean, you guys are supposed to be these tech savvy college students, the least you can do is show an ounce of maturity, but no. Too much to fucking ask.
Furthermore, I think I froze because of all that ice between the couple, tbh. There is no heat or chemistry whatsoever and they remain awkward and detached throughout. The affection seems forced and their union wasn't natural at all. Atleast the guy has one quality; he's an excellent kisser but the girl literally stands like a dead fish in response. No, even a dead fish has some sort of pucker going on, this girl just has her lips in a straight line and proudly shows that kissing her is akin to that of kissing a cardboard box.
For me, romance or basically any sort of relationship can only thrive and grow stronger if two people go through complications and get out of it together. Or if, they do selfless and thoughtful things for each other, no matter how small. Here, everything is rainbow and joy- literally no problems at all- and the best things the characters do for each other is treat each other to meals. That's all. Which is why their relationship is so flat, unrealistic and plagued by stangnancy throughout the show. Tsk, tsk.
The only thing fairly enjoyable was the actions of the hero's friends. Those three made me laugh a bit from their silly antics but that's about it.
Rewatch value? This stuff doesn't even have 'watch it once' value. The drama truly highlights that people will always be attracted to surface beauty no matter how much substance it lacks. This is an absolute fail and I only recommend it for people who want mindless fanservice and zero plot.

Acting/Cast: At first I was a bit worried when Zheng Shuan was cast in the role of Wei Wei. The novel described Wei Wei as a beautiful young woman with the perfect body and frankly speaking, Zheng Shuan's not the best around when it comes to having curves where curves should be. The movie version of this drama cast Angelababy as Wei Wei which was closer to the description of Wei Wei in the novel. So, having watched the movie first - I had to adjust to seeing a mediocre-looking Wei Wei in the drama but after a few episodes, it became a non-issue as the story took precedence. The shining star here is Yang Yang. His boyish charm shone through. He alone pulled through the chemistry with his leading lady when Zheng Shuan was a little stiff to start with. Watch out for those scenic and romantic scenes....and kisses! The dialogues were also excellent!
Music: Passable but it is not the music that attracts. It's the sweet love story.
Rewatch value: Highly re-watchable. Lots of sweet scenes.
Overall: Addictive. Sweet. Smile inducing. Makes me wanna re-live my younger days in Uni and fall in love again. Highly recommended.

Now another reviewer expressed much of the drama’s problems quite accurately and I have to say that I’m glad I’m not the only one that felt its many shortcomings. Let’s start with the plot…
Story:
As someone who has previously played MMORPGs, I was excited to watch this one. And I actually enjoyed the first 1/3 of the series. But it must have been around the 11th episode or so where it all went downhill for me. One of the huge points that bugged me was that just because you marry someone in the game, you are automatically dating? Not in my book! (And as someone who has married my characters in an online game, this is ridiculous to assume). What would have been great to see was their interest in each other develop and grow over time. Otherwise it just looks like they are in love with each other’s characters. This was also around the time when the story shifted away from college life. As a huge fan of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo and her college experiences, I was really disappointed that Love O2O completely moved away from that setting. While some parts of the story were an alright watch, others were downright boring, slow and lacked depth.
And before some of you jump up and down saying that it is based off a novel and they were just trying to stay true to it, I wish they had not. Many series divert from their original stories and this should have been one of them.
Acting/Cast (with a focus on the main two leads):
So our main female lead, Bei Wei Wei, seemed to be a strong female lead who stood up for herself, but was very quickly shown to be a dull, simpering girl who could never best her boyfriend in anything. I found her admiration for the male lead irksome, thought she was full of herself (not in an endearing way), and really was not all that likable. She did minimal things on her own and more often than not she needed her boyfriend to pick up the slack and come to the rescue. Though this may be popular in dramaland, I felt duped that she ended up being weak like so many other leads. The actress was also waaay too skinny, to the point of looking unhealthy, and was far from the beauty that the story depicted her as. Not that she was unattractive, but I was certainly expecting more. In fact, I thought her best friend, Er Xi, was prettier.
As for the other lead… Xiao Nai must be the most overrated male lead I have ever seen. The only thing that was alright was his appearance, and even then it wasn’t earth-shattering. He was stiff, incredibly boring and had NO personality. I mean, none. You could have placed a cardboard cut-out of him on the screen and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. And it was very irritating how he was good at EVERYTHING. And not in a cute I’m-good-at-lots-of-thing-but-I-still-have-flaws kind of way. In a perfect, inhuman kind of way. I could not relate to it nor could I enjoy it. One of the best parts of watching characters in a drama is to see them learn, grow, fall, and pick themselves back up again. I experienced none of this while watching Xiao Nai and even when the bad guys tried to fight back, they were easily overcome. Made things very anticlimactic.
Now put these two boring characters in a relationship together and you get one tiresome series. The boyfriend is always better at the girlfriend at everything they do and she just smiles like an idiot. He didn’t come across as this “sexy wolf” that they try to make him out to be, but rather forceful, arrogant and robotic. And their chemistry was really lacking, such as the number of awkward kiss scenes. I couldn’t wait when their screen time was interrupted by any of the boys at the office, or really any other character in the show.
So why keep watching it? Aside from not wanting to leave a drama unfinished when I had already seen so much, I really only wanted to see my OTP in the series, Hao Mei and KO. I was pleasantly surprised to find a BL pair in this drama (though we only get hints of it). Between their sweet interactions, sulky behaviour, and protective moments, I was completely hooked. My only complaint was that they didn’t get enough airtime.
Music:
There was maybe one song that I liked. They weren’t particularly memorable nor did I find myself rushing off to YouTube to listen to the OST.
Rewatch Value:
If it wasn’t obvious already, I would not watch this drama again or recommend it to anyone. If I could give this section a zero, I would.
So even if you decide to watch it don’t believe everything that others say about it. There are many flaws that should not be overlooked. Go into it with your eyes wide open. Or better yet, steer clear of it altogether. Really wish I had.

The plot is rather simple and dare I say cliché in some aspects (boy meets girl, insta-love, CEO and employee, cold emotionless guy vs sweet shy girl). However, it adds original and rather fun things like the virtual world battles and interactions. Also, kudos for adding such a contemporary theme like games and gamers. It was really refreshing to see not only boys but also girls playing virtual games.
However, even if the plot is somewhat decent, I don't think the characters or even characterization was well done. I mean, let's admit it, the main couple was a bit...too perfect for my taste. Nothing wrong with having capable main leads, but the two seem more like Mary Sues than actual capable, independent characters. I would've liked it a lot more if their flaws and problems were highlighted more (or even there to begin with, I didn't see ANY major flaws from each character), because they didn't feel realistic to me. But I kind of liked the way they trusted and confided in each other, but still felt a tad bit unrealistic (really, every couple has problems).
Also, the acting was stiff to say the least. I didn't feel anything at all from both parts. Yang Yang is drop dead gorgeous and a hella of a kisser but nothing more than that. I know his character is supposed to be this distant, somewhat emotionless guy, but he could've given much more than just the same cool, cold guy that we are tired to see in dramas (at least I am tired).
Zheng Shuang has the same flaws: a pretty face (also justified since her character is supposed to be pretty) but nothing much more than that. She lacked emotions and expression, what was supposed to be quirky turned out to be just plainly awkward. I know that because I've read the novel this drama was based on, and let me say the novel's Wei Wei was a lot quickier/ funnier than ZS portrayal, which made me like her more than when I watched the drama (even if she was still a Mary Sue).
Side characters were well played, and actually more developed than the main ones. I liked the subtle bromance between two of Nai's life long partners, but it's so subtle and undeveloped that it made me wish to see more, luckily I read the novel and got what I wanted.
All in all it was addictive but turned out to be underdevoloped, which is sad given it's 30 episode lenght. Honestly, I've seen dramas with a lot less episodes but much more fulfilling in terms of acting/plot/development. Also, the episodes seemed draggy sometimes and pointless. I think it would be better if it was 16 episode kind of drama, since the lack of depth and not much to do with the plot could allow this one to be a sweet, funny journey. But what's done is already done anyway.
