Slightly disappointed

I was waiting for this drama to air since I saw the teaser trailer. It was really a beautifully done teaser. When I watched the first few episodes I was quite hooked, the story was simple and the romance was slow budding and sweet. However as more episodes passed by I was disappointed by the lack of actual point to the story.

~Loves~
- The CGI for the gaming sequence is very well done
- The whole drama was beautifully shot, and the cast looks great
- The falling in love while gaming is pretty cute

~Hates~
- Lack of character development in both FL and ML. Aside from FL becoming a better gamer (not even sure how that suddenly happens since ML wasn't teaching her much, just letting admire his gaming prowess, guess she's a fast learner after all)
- The FL is supposedly a successful singer, but gets shy from just a look from a student. He's good looking I give you that, but being a singer, can't be she have never interact with attractive guys to be that impacted?
- I don't really care for the story of the side couple, I forwarded through it all. The side love story seems to be forced as there's no tie in to the main couple besides the fact that they're both friends with each other. The romance doesn't add anything to the story
- Synopsis feels like a cheat, I would expect at least some "chasing after your dreams" storyline to tie in to the gaming part. But it seems like there's none? The ML is a university student who is supposedly perfect and smart. But doesn't seems like he has any dreams whatsoever and is just busy dating his dream girl. Also is randomly a violin genius on top of a computer genius??? Scriptwriter, choose one thing only please!!
- Supposedly popular female actress walks around dating with a man but not even concerned with hiding her face from paparazzi

Okay end of my rant. I guess it would be a nice fluff piece if you're looking for something light to watch on a weekend. Maybe I'm disappointed cause I was expecting more to the story and there's basically nothing much going on.
