Playing Games with someone you are comfortable with
1st Week Review + Final.
Quick Overall Summary
If you liked Love O2O, you will like this drama. The drama is great for a relaxing night binge where the story and characters are fluffy and wholesome to watch. There is no dramatic or overly annoying characters or plot, but more focused on the enjoyment of playing games, spending time with someone you are comfortable with and juggling between work/life balance. Indeed, the drama heavily focuses on playing games and game terminology, but there are other elements that are talked about like the ML's dreams and life choices. One last crucial point is that the drama being a CDrama, flows and generally makes sense (there are no cliche overtop encounter/scenes that challenges the audiences' intellect, very rare these days).
Final: 1st half of the drama is about gaming and getting to know each other again. 2nd half of the drama is more about the relationship between the ML and FL and completion of the deep space rocket project.
Quick Story/Plot (9 > 8.5)
The FL is a famous actress and is the brand face for a popular mobile game (Chinese Mobile LoL). One night, she was recorded by an anonymous friend/spectator on how bad she was at the game. This was leaked and blew up quickly where part of the online community criticised her being the brand face of the game and being terrible at the game. The Manager and Game Company played it off well and very sensibly (I applaud) where she released a statement saying was only trying out the new character and to show that she does not suck at the game, there will be a charity match in 1 month's time to celebrate the end of the gaming season. In comes the ML, While the FL is on a 1 month break and practicing to be better at the game, she was mistakenly invited by the ML to his lobby who is an old high school classmate of hers. After joining the match and playing a few rounds, the FL realised how good the ML was at the game. At this point, the FL knows who the ML is, but the ML does not know the FL since she was using an alternate side account. Wanting to meet the ML again and also looking to improve at the game, the FL tries her luck and asks the ML to be her instructor and teach her more about the game.
Final: The story is definitely on the slower side with the 2nd half of the drama dragged on just a little too long. With 30 mins each episode, you can feel the production team taking their time with each scene and camera pan.
Quick Acting/Cast/Characters
- ML: Yang Yang has always played roles of the handsome boyfriend who doesnt say much, but is always caring and casually will be by your side. Yu Tu is an Aerospace Designer/Engineer and is very smart, graduating with double degree in Aerospace/Finance. However, he is at crossroads in his life, choosing either a higher paying finance job or continue with his dream job in Aerospace + starting to get to know the FL all over again. There is alot he is going through at the moment.
-FL: Qiao Jing Jing is a famous actress who is in high demand. She is caring and gives the ML a lot of personal space and breathing room. She does not overstep her bounds and knows that currently she is a friend only. E.g. like when the ML needs to leave or go out, she understands and farewells him. She does not guilt trip him to force him to stay or make him uncomfortable for leaving her.
- Special shoutout to Jing Jing's Manager who is very understanding and also encourages the FL to go on dates :)
Music/OSTs
- Music is great where it comes in exactly at the right point in time during the scene to elevate the entire mood/emotions. The Start/Ending OSTs and playlists are great too.
Rewatch Value
Would rewatch some notable and beautiful scenes.
Why my current rating (10)
Although the story is very slow paced, I watch it for the interaction between the characters. How they support and bicker between each other while understanding the boundaries set between them. No one oversteps the line just because they are the ML or FL. Furthermore, I liked Love O2O and games, so this is right up my alley. There are many horribly made Gaming Genre Dramas done poorly, but this is one of the exceptions. This also includes light-hearted stories, where the ML and FL are getting to know each other again and flirting with their honest heart. You know it, this drama has those one-liner swooners...
Final: I retain my final rating of 10 as the drama overall was enjoyable to watch. Although later half of the drama did drag out to my disliking, I overlooked it due to the fluffy and very pretty scenes/set. The drama is not entirely about gaming where the story transitions to successfully launching the deep space rocket. The drama's final score is more like a lower 10 - 9.7 rating.
