I've watched this drama back in 2016. I can tell you that based on my opinion, there wasn't a lot of dramas that fall under the same type/category as this one, and I'm guessing that was one of the many reasons it was popular. This is gaming related drama, that provided a little bit of fantasy because it shows them playing the game and being in the game. There will be a lot of cliches and cringe moments, but the storyline is fluffy and cute as a little refreshment from all your melodrama, etc. Overall, all I can say is watch it as your own risk, some of you might like it, or some of you might dislike it, and I don't recommend this to first-timer since this drama have a lot of mix feelings, and it can change your way of understanding or in the progress of getting to know Chinese drama.
