Despite or perhaps because I don't play online games, I really enjoy the intervention of gaming with the immersion inside the game and personification it's the original point of the drama which bring some action and fantasy scene.
The main couple is great together. I like how they interact together and trust each other.
It's a sweat, soft and positive drama that will make you put up a smile thinking about it.

I honestly think this drama is too over rated. This drama was okay but nothing more. It was pretty simple and had a lot of clichés as in the guy being a cold and emotionless and the girl being warm sweet. Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) is extremely handsome and a great kisser but other than that, there is nothing else. I also felt the same way with Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang). She is very very pretty but she lacked the emotion to the point that is sometimes became awkward. There was this one scene of them kissing and it was just straight up awkward because Xiao Nai kissed Bei Wei Wei and but she didn't kiss him back and she just did absolutely nothing at all... I dunno there was just no drama at all to keep me interested and the characters seemed too perfect. Was this review helpful to you?
Awful acting
My main problem with this series was the awful acting, mostly from the supporting characters. I wasn't able to continue watching it. I'm not an expert, but I understand that if the issue is not with a single actor, but with many members of the cast, it is more of a directing issue.I understand that it is a series aimed at very young audiences, but that is no excuse for having characters that are so unbelievable and with attitudes that are not the best for that audience, such as the fact that the popular boy only has to wink at a girl, not even a previous chat, and she is the happy girlfriend.
Furthermore, I read that it has been very successful in China and other countries, which is why I was very interested in watching it, but I really don't understand how it became a success. Everything in this show seams so fake.
It's a shame because I've seen several series starring Yang Yang and I liked them.

Stopped at episode 12
It started out pretty good! But around episode 10 it went off the rails into a field of boring and repetitive.This is the second drama I've watched with Yang Yang as the male lead (the other one was You Are My Glory) and they have both been quite bad. I feel sad, because I really want to like his dramas, but I haven't so far.
If anyone has a favorite Yang Yang drama, please send a recommendation my way!!

It may be sound weird for m who is not into cdrama/taiwan drama. I have watched the cheesy and clingy drama i have ever watched and enjoyed it and that was "Well Intended Love" Despite a lovey-dovey couple, I did enjoy the couple in Well Intended Love but this drama...I dont even enjoy every single thing of the casts, dont tell about the story. STORY & CHARACTERS
They are only focusing on "Gaming" stuff and the casts were the character in that game which is I found it weird and new. I like it when they tried to mix between real & fantasy life but its not a necessary when they already have a solid story of the main lead.
ACTING
If we stare at our laptop for many hours we got & looks tired but they look as fresh as apples in the market that has been cleaned by the seller. Its kinda find me weird and the female lead...she is just having a beautiful face there is no improvement until episode 9.
MUSIC
I skipped a lot of scenes because most of them was game parts, I didnt listen to the music either..
REWATCHE VALUE
I dont want to rewatch and spending my times for this drama
RECOMMENDATION VALUE
1/10

The story was boring and the female lead was worst. You can clearly see that she is just doing her job as an actor. Only person i like in this drama is yang yang,although he too was just acted like stone,but atleast he did his part unlike nonexistant wei wei.Apart from that everything is crap,bullshit, and what not.
I don't understand why chinese dramas keep producing realising same kinda storyline over and over again???? Why???
This drama was exactly copycat of "The Heirs". Same crap,same aura,same away from reality.
In real world no matter how beautiful or smart you are no one will keep clicking pictures of yours,or keep staring at you,until unless you are a celebrity!!!
And the makers of these kinda drama keeps forgetting their own plot that they have shown the Male lead or female lead to be out of this world. Because some time people keep clicking photos and in next shot they doesn't even exist they are like invisible.
And those games scenes are so annoying and irritating. No story,no plot,no chemistry. NOTHING!!!
I really regret watching 6episodes,because judging from the rating i kept bearing that may be now it will get better but i was unable to keep up after 6th episode.
And i honestly don't like this kind of crap out of world away from reality story which contains too much cliche!!!

The way this story is told will keep your interest on for sure. It starts when Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) sees Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang) in internet cafe playing online game. It's kind of love at first sight and Xiao Nai decides to enter the game again just to pair up with Wei Wei and talk to her. Wei Wei is first surprised because Xiao Nai's online character hasn't been around for awhile and suddenly he wants to be a couple in the game with Wei Wei. But Wei Wei accepts because Xiao Nai's character is legendary. What's interesting is that actors actually act those parts when they play online game so they're kind of "inside" it.
Other players will talk badly of Wei Wei because she had just broken up a pairing with another character Shao Xiang (Zhang He) but Xiao Nai doesn't care and Wei Wei decides that she'll ignore bad mouthing about her.
Little by little Wei Wei and Xiao Nai gets closer by playing the game and conversing with each other. They start to like each other and decide to meet because of the game. From there starts a sweet romance that gets you squealing and smiling like an idiot to your computer screen.
I liked that even though Wei Wei is described as department beauty with good IQ she wasn't arrogant or anything. And she wasn't those weak girls either. She had strong and little bit sassy personality. Xiao Nai was handsome and quiet, kind of lone wolf even though he had his group of friends. But his personality started getting brighter when he met Wei Wei. I just loved watching these two together. And being romance drama fan, I loved how Xiao Nai knew what he was doing; he was caring, kind and protective of Wei Wei.
I love how they made this drama slice of life style. And romance was made slow paced so it felt like a real life, not like usual drama style where couple falls in love in just couple episodes. First dates between Wei Wei and Xiao Nai felt real too, they were awkward and cute because they didn't want to show each other their flaws.
Only thing I cringed at first is that when Xiao Nai kissed Wei Wei, she looked like a dead fish because she didn't react at all... but it got better later on.
Other thing I totally enjoyed and was a little bit disappointed that they didn't have that many scenes was KO and Hao Mei. There was a little bit of spark between these two and I would have loved to watch them develop a real relationship.
Only thing that annoyed me a bit in this drama was Wei Wei's best friend Er Xi (Mao Xiao Tong). I have seen my share of these kind of too energetic too cutesy characters. At times I felt like the actress went way too overboard with her expressions.
And I didn't like Cao Guang's character either, it felt like he didn't have his own brains at all because he kept believing everything everyone told him.
But otherwise this was amazing and all the time I was thinking "what, only 30 episodes? I don't want this to end" :D
Music was good but not exceptional. Very basic although they had couple funny background music tracks playing once in a while.
Pros:
+Sweet romance
+Main couple suit each other
+slice of life (I enjoy this genre)
+Xiao Nai's gang aka his friends
+KO and Hao Mei
+not overly dramatic in any scene
Cons:
-slice of life (for some people)
-romance is developing kind of slowly at first (again, I enjoyed but some people don't)
-annoying best friend character
Overall, a great romance drama without extra dramatics that I recommend every fan of romance genre to watch. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I completed this show without negative feelings or frustrations, (though I did cry a little, but that is so because they're tears of joy) so it is quite hard for me to critique this one (well I'm not a critique in the first place)
It is particularly straight forward and simple in their approach in everything. No conflicts, no dramas, no plot twists. It is really easy to watch, so don't complicate yourself when you do watch it.
This show particularly attracted me because I have involved myself in a love kinda like this (basically story of my life-ish). The type of love shown in the show is not the kind of love most people often see in mainstream shows--or even in real life. I call it an introvert's love.
I agree, this show doesn't feel realistic and it is overly cliche but we all like to feel them butterflies in the stomach right? If that is so, this show won't disappoint you.
As for the actors and actresses, I love them. I am not so focused in their delivery of the skill (acting) but Its just really refreshing to see them act with their beautiful faces and quirky antics.
Overall, this show gives me a new feeling. Part of it is because I am not too familiar with Chinese culture and also because--well that's what mostly it is. So, I can say that would be a good watch! (especially if you are a(n) girl, introvert, gamer, nerd or human for that matter)
Final note: The story may disappoint you, or maybe the language, or maybe the number of episodes will, but Yang yang definitely won't. That's all. ^^

A reflection on our era of MMO socialising, but offline the characters are fairly shallow and vapid.
Overall it's an entertaining watch. However as per summary, be prepared that the characters depicted are somewhat shallow and vapid. The acting of those characters is also somewhat shallow and bland at times, but I don't know really whether it's the actors, the direction provided them, or the script which has caused that blandness.Music : Neither nauseating nor notable. 5.
Story : Yes, it tells a story. 3.
Ok ok.
Will add on 2 points because of the modern life in-game MMO socialising depiction, and there actually being a plot in the second half of the story where they have met irl and the ML is trying to start up his post-study career in being a game dev - 4. So, overall a 9.
Acting: as above. Has 'off' moments where the attempt to act is obvious. As above I don't know whether blaming the actors specifically for this is correct to do or the direction. Character depictions are somewhat shallow and vapid. I don't know whether the finger should be pointed at the actors, or the script/direction. Special mention of the 2FL though. Her character was the highlight for me. Overall an 7.
Rewatch value : 0. Unless you're into re-living the high school fantasy where you're the most popular high school girl and the most popular high school boy notices you and every other contender for most popular girl is totally schooled by your awesome good looks. In which case, it's rewatch of 10. Seriously, it's that shallow. Averaged out, that's a 5.

Just beautiful ✨
I'm gonna say that, this drama was the most beautiful and well maintained one. It's a major success mainly for two reasons. One, the actors were not a fan of unnecessary misunderstanding and drama, and two, the main actors as well as the support actors, all of them have done a mind blowing job. Well, it may seem at first that the female lead is a bit clueless and airheaded, but as the story progresses, we see that she really has self esteem, which actually misses from some of the dramas. Being a bright girl, both by beauty and brain, she was what is called 'perfect'. The same goes for the male lead. Honestly, we always see the male leads are the gods of misunderstanding in other dramas, but here, trust me, he clearly knew what he was aiming at and what he wants, and that's why he was a pro at dodging every unpleasant situation that came across his way. He also believed in his girl immensely, and that's why he didn't pay any damn attention or interest to other people's opinions. These things are very rare in dramas. But since no drama is perfect, this too has three drawbacks. First, the lead actors took a long time, rather stupidly, to confess to each other, partly because Zheng Shuang was too much shy. Second, the friends of Xiao Nai were all idiots to be honest. Like they seemed like they won't know anything even if their houses were robbed. And third, some actors were so desperate that they made the mood sour sometimes. But other than these things, the drama was a hundred percent success.Was this review helpful to you?
What to watch when you watch 020
There are several things I loved about Love 020... Xiao Nai obviously needed no introduction in the looks department... His acting was spot on and his chemistry with Bei Wei Wei only left me overwhelmed and giggly. Every time I saw an episode with them, I felt the characters and the story hit me so hard that by now I have rewatched this series at least 16 times! I know... there are several fans out there who will outnumber me in that department because of the strength of the story.Another point I appreciated in the story was the lack of suspicion between the couple. I mean...I have hardly come across a story that doesn't leave us guessing about the hero being suspicious of his heroine. The possessiveness quotient was out of this world! Truly worth a watch...again and again.
