Watch if there’s nothing else and you want to see good looking young actors with decent chemistry.
I binge watched until the 24th episode which was all that had aired at the time of writing this review and realized there is nothing compelling me to wait for the rest of the show to air.
I went into this expecting nothing much and it pretty much went as expected.
Things I liked:
1) Good looking young actors and pretty good cinematography and visuals. I haven’t watched any of either Lin Yi or Lulu Xu’s
works before and they were a delight to watch on screen. They had pretty decent chemistry (though nothing close to
Sandra Ma and Bai Jingting’s chemistry in You are my Hero) and they were the only thing that kept me watching for 24
episodes even though nothing interesting was happening in the story.
2) The gaming elements they incorporated into the episodes were enjoyable to watch.
3) The bits when the FL was performing on stage were fun to watch and the OST is okay. It could’ve been a lot better
considering the show focuses on music but I enjoyed some of the tracks so I think it is a plus point.
4) The boldness of the ML in the initial episodes was refreshing to watch. Considering he is in university and the FL is supposed
to be a famous singer, I liked how he pursued her and the all around flirting going on in the initial episodes which was more
interesting than when the leads do get together.
Things I did not like:
1) Creeeeeeeepy SML. Not even getting into how he looks old enough to be the ML/FL’s dad or uncle; he was beyond creepy
and stalker-ish. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise every time he popped on screen. I really wonder why they went
out of their way to make him look even older than how the actor naturally looks. I’m guessing they wanted to showcase a
more mature guy as the “rival” but this just ended up looking creepy.
2) Uninteresting Secondary couples and secondary characters- Skipped the secondary couple’s storyline for the most part and
what little I did watch was worse than boring. Couldn’t care at all for them. The other secondary characters also did not add
anything to the story and I kept waiting for them to go away.
3) Romcom tropes like - forced conflicts like the study abroad plan etc
