“But the game isn’t about saving your favorite character. It seems the game is about saving yourself.” - tumblr user dropthedemiurge (thank you for the pain)
As soon as the first episode starts, you can already tell the efforts that went into it. My problem with K-BLs is that most of the time, everything is lacking : acting, story, cinematography, etc etc. But here, you start the first episode and you are met with quality. Good BGM, good camera work/ quality, interesting story and absolutely heart-stealing characters.
It has one of the quality barely other K-BL has : It uses its time wisely. The ending/ last episode does feel a little rushed, but the overall serie? It’s well paced, in my opinion. The story flows, they don’t add unnecessary plot they can’t give closure to.
Tae Myungha is one of my absolute favorite BL character, and probably one of my favorite character in general in a while. He transmigrates in a ‘video game’, and his mission / main quest if you will is to make Cha Yeowoon happy. The thing is, Myungha is such a genuinely nice person. Not only that, but he is also super bad ass. So we have a cutie, bad ass and a sweet heart on top of of that. He doesn’t judge anyone, he is caring and he is supportive.
It is not perfect, some things did confuse me a little. That being said, it is such a worth watch, in my opinion. I saw the ‘twist’ at the end coming, but it didn’t hurt any less. The drama started cute and sweet, then proceeded to destroy me and rebuild me. I already feel the need to rewatch it,
