Cutie and bubbly kind of story.
Hi I'm here again. So to make the story short this one is kind of rom-com with a lot of sugar on it. If you wanted to have a very light and cute story this one is for you. The characters were great in doing their job I mean character. What I really like is that they make the drama simple yet entertaining and easy to digest . The music of this show was amazing. Although it is a mini series it gives us a very nice feeling and not confusing plot. The downside of it was that the ending was kind of rush (in my opinion). Maybe if they include a wedding scene it might become better.Anyway this are just my thoughts and opinion still highly recommend this for you to watch if you want to take a breather to those heavy dramas.
Stay safe ^_^ LOVE LOTS<3

The writers did their job WELL!
This drama was extremely well written and produced. The pacing of the episodes was near perfect, and the quality was top notch. Definitely going in the books as an excellent drama for 2021.I must say, LIN YI HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH. The romance scenes in this drama are light years ahead of PYHOMS. I was shocked at the upgrade! Lala Xu did a great job as well, and I absolutely loved their chemistry.
The plot was also excellent - as I said before, the pacing of the episodes was near perfect. There weren't any plot-breaking tropes thrown in, which made the drama so much more enjoyable. I loved the in game scenes and how much screen time the main couple was given. The comedic moments in the show helped with the flow as well.
There are quite a bit of unrealistic situations in this show based on the characters professions, (famous singer that can roam around freely anywhere???) but it's tolerable.
The one major con to the show was the SML. I laughed every time he appeared on screen to help me deal with how frustrating his character was. How is someone who's near 50 going to have a chance with our FL? Oh wait, he didn't. But yet he tried so hard to interfere with her business. Nobody asked you to! I am glad that his screen time was somewhat limited as the episodes went on, or I might've given this show a lower score.
That comment aside, I really enjoyed this one, and I think you will too!

Wonderful Cinematography
Great cast with most actors fitting well with their character. Personally I found the casting choice of the SML a bit weird, as he is 50 and well old enough to be the FL's father. The cinematography is wonderful and the gaming graphics are detailed and well shown. In regards to the plot, I found the gaming aspect rather unrelated to the overall story. There were also definitely unnecessary parts of the plot that made the overall drama longer than it should be. I believe that the drama having at the most 24 episodes will be good enough, or perhaps even less.Overall, I felt that this drama was alright, but not good enough to the extent that I would watch it again.

Romantic Love Story of the Year
After watching this rom-com drama of Xulu and Lin Yi...I cannot get over it rewatching random episodes with sweet moments together. They had good chemistry in every scene except for Ding Jia Yun for me he's too old to be a third party who fell in love with Liang Cheng instead he's fit in a role of an uncle or a producer something though. Age gap doesn't matter as long as sincerity and true love wait.I liked the fashion style of clothes that they wear and the earth color combinations Lin Yi looks cuter and handsome. He stands 6'1 tall seems perfect in all his outfit and style. Aside from this, I also watched their interviews and video clips behind the scenes they're comfortable and very professional while doing every take of the scenes.
Hoping this will have season 2 in a more mature role to watch Lin Yi and I also like his mesmerizing eyes that catch my attention and his dance moves.
Xu lu is pretty, talented, and she acts naturally..I can say she is a versatile Chinese actress of her generation and knowing she has a supportive family-like her father and mother. Looking forward to her new upcoming drama as well as Lin Yi too.

A simple story for romcom lovers
Before getting into the review I would like to say one thing... This drama might not be an outstanding ine that breaks all the stereotypes and present a Mind-blowing story that you have never expected. But this drama does what it does in a great way.It is simple and done good. The show feels a bit slow in the beginning, but as you watch you start feeling good.
Yes, there are a few bits that gives me cringe, for example the entire big-data thing of the ML feels stupid, like for the people who know, "Changing the iterations" is a textbook step in model evaluation, but they say that they have been struggling for months and the ML has solved this in a single look, and this is suggested when there is a big competetion is going in, so that the ML can get his spot changed. That is unnecessary scene, but the scriptwriters wanted to convey that the ML is super smart. There are many such antics that need to be ignored. But most of them will end in the first half of the story.
Some actions of the ML towards FL can be a bit overboard in the episodes 11-15.
But when you look back, all you need to remember is the romance which the story will convey in a very good way. So, it is still an absolute recommendation, if you feel prepared.

UPSET WE NEVER SEE AN AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE WITH LU JING PLAYING THE VIOLIN AND LIANG CHEN SINGING
This was like Love O2O meets Intense Love, and I was so down for this. Like seriously. Except the FL in Intense Love was way too dramatic and immature at times.Lin Yi fucking brought it in this. PYHOMS has never been very great in my eyes, even though a lot of people like it. I have never liked it that much. So when I found out Lin Yi was starring in this? No reaction. But oh man, he deserved a reaction. This man—seriously fucking brought it. I can't wait to get excited about his next work. I hope it lives up to this.
Lulu Xu's character was actually pretty bad good. Usually, I have a thing or two to say about the FL. Not today! Okay, but she's only like a few years older than Lin Yi. How old is her character? Like the fact that the ML was considered too young all the time? Eh. Twenty-two isn't that young when LuLu Xu is only twenty-six (if her character is also this age).
Ding Jia Yun reminds me of that tool from Midsummer Is Full of Love (2020). That fucking tool that can't feel pain—yeah, that one. Very punchable face type. That's the only reason they remind me of each other... very punchable faces. The make-up team really knew what they were doing.
Yes, this started off pretty slow. But that's the thing about C-dramas, they have really great build-up, so when you actually get to the relationship part, you can clearly see why these people like each other. It doesn't just jump straight into anything.
I can't remember the last time I smiled so much. Thank you. I really needed this after an exhausting and depressing week.
So, that soundtrack.... fucking slaps harder than my Asian mother's slipper after a B on a test.
SOOOOO fucking glad there wasn't a breakup. A little "blip", yeah. But I thought that just added more substance to the story.
Downside: I didn't give a shit about the second couple. Ma Shan Shan and Sun Bin Yu's relationship just didn't hit until like maybe the third to second last episode. And it only hit maybe 50% then too. Rough life. All the really good shows don't have good side romance (just like Love Is Sweet).
Also, the romance. I was pleasantly surprised. I don't go into C-dramas expecting much except from a few lip presses (with zero movement—kill me). Well, let's just say dramas like Love Is Sweet and the majority of this... really upping my expectations. The first two kisses in the drama were kind of... like... please move your lips Lulu Xu? Please. Lin Yi is trying his best! But then the third one and beyond? Fucking great. Lulu Xu—I want to watch more of you in dramas. I hope future C-dramas try to follow this and Love Is Sweet's romance steam. I love innovation!
OKAY BUT I'M JUST UPSET WE NEVER GOT TO SEE AN AUDIENCE PERFORMANCE WITH LU JING PLAYING THE VIOLIN AND LIANG CHEN SINGING.

FIRST CDRAMA-
this was obviously my first cdrama, stayed up till 6 am to watch 10 eps when i started it and i didnt complain under bed too- its so good like it was the first time in a drama that i didnt care about their age difference since some age differences arent bad tbh, but i remember not wanting to watch the show because chinese sounded weird to me for the first time and the intro was like a minute or two and so was the outro..BUT THIS SHOW IS DEFINITELY A SHOW I RECOMMEND IF ITS UR FIRST TIME OR SOMETHINGWas this review helpful to you?

A very unexpected and pleasant storyline…
Essentially, it was a very nice intermission contemporary esports/idol drama, while waiting for Falling Into Your Smile to be fully English subtitled… Which I just recently started. Unexpectedly for me, Love Scenery is wining, hands down.I wish that they had made use of Lu Jin’s fantastic violin playing skills in one of the Liang Cheng’s songs.
As for the old stalker/friend… I guess they just wanted an old creepy guy in the mix. Seriously, his character had absolutely no purpose in the drama.
Fyi: Lulu Xu and Lin Yi’s actings were effortlessly natural. One of the best chemistry and synergy that I have seen in a Chinese contemporary drama.

This drama didn't hit like I expected it to!
I started this drama while it was airing, dropped it because it bored the hell out of me, and picked it up again recently because of an edit.Before I comment on the plot, I want to say that the younger male, older female trope in this drama, didn't cut it for me. Although the female lead is 28 and the male lead is 22, I rarely ever felt like there is an age difference between them because Lu Jin's character is more mature than Liang Chen's somehow. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but I got to say that threw me off, mainly when she acted all childish and all after she learned that he was supposed to study abroad without telling her. He had to stay outside her place in the cold for the entire night, waiting for her to forgive him, like why? She hopped to a conclusion on her own and punished him without hearing that he didn't intend to go in the first place, and studying abroad was forced on him by his father. Seriously, I felt like the male lead was older than her most of the time. That aside, the plot of the drama was pretty good and all, but I wish the second couple's story weren't dragged until the very last episode, and the gaming sequences didn't feel like fillers at a certain point. As much as I enjoyed their little escape to a gaming world, I found them a bit redundant and unnecessary because there wasn't any creativity to them as they always escaped to the same places in the game time and time again.

The chemistry is addicting
If I'm being honest, the story and characters aren't at all special. I know the story has a lot of cliche elements to it and a lot of other dramas have done something similar (although please note, I haven't watched much gaming dramas so this review is coming from someone who is watching this type of atmosphere for the first time). Both male lead and female lead characters are your typical smart boy and naive (slightly high pitched) girl. But the acting and charisma of Lin Yi and Lulu Xu is what brings this drama to life.The main leads' chemistry is outstanding that I don't mind the dragged out storyline of Liang Chen not knowing that Lu Jing knows her identity. There's a spark in every scene they're together in whether that be in real life or in-game. The charisma of the actors really make these characters better than they actually are. Lin Yi has also heavily improved from Put Your Head On My Shoulder.
But the big flaw of the drama is how it has a weak supporting cast. Strong leads do make the drama entertaining but its side characters add nothing else to the story, making you want to skip their scenes. If the secondary cast was more likable, the drama as a whole would have been stronger.
Overall, the drama is able to hype up its lead couple really well. But in a way I would say that may be the only part of the drama that actually excels? Cinematography is great and I love its use of music in important scenes but it's not spectacular either. As a romcom though, it's definitely worth a watch. After all, the main point of a romcom is to hook you in through the leading pair. My rating of the drama is purely based off my enjoyment of watching the two leads, so is it worth it? I would say yes, just don't expect a well-rounded drama that is excellent in every aspect.

Great Drama - Cute
I binged all the episodes that were out, and then rewatched some before it even finished.I think this drama is really good and really cute and I love the leads characters.
Pay no attention to the description here though, it’s completely wrong and inaccurate.
In short, he’s in university & loves to game - and excels in this profession. He has a crush on a celebrity singer
Said celebrity singer needs to learn how to play the game; and thus ends up getting his coaching - but she never lets him know her identity.
The two basically end up getting to know each other online through games first
