As a gamer myself, I was in love with this. If you don't do non slaughter-only games, you know that you meet people through these games, and sometimes become irl friends! The plot was fairly interesting, I love how the characters''personalities and morals etc. really fleshed out into the story! It made you have a cushion of guessing, but within that cushion, you'd be at the will of the characters, as they were true to themselves, and not so predictable. I love how it was a happy ending for everyone–everyone has the ability to turn themselves around.
Cast:
Yang Yang: I've only seen him in Whirlwind Girl and this series, but am amazed at the emotions he expresses. In comparison, I'd put him on a high pedestal, similar to Kim Soo Hyun, but I'd have to see more works to decide if he has the versatility. Within this drama, 10/10, the way he moves, speaks, and gazes channels Xiao Nai. You don't see Yang Yang. (Yang Yang irl: an expressive lovely man)
Zheng Shuang: I feel that she did quite a good job, but I don't know if she was dubbing herself, or dubbed by someone else, but her dubbing subtracted a little from me believing she was Bei Wei Wei. She pulled off her role well, but I feel there were some things missing. 7-8/10
Er Xi: She was that bouncy friend we all need. Er Xi all the way! I felt like her emotions expression could use a little more. 9/10
MUSIC:
The music was perfect. The opening song was perfect for the gaming theme. It's opening notes really resonate with me. The song that talked about romance (???????was just too enjoyable. I don't know if it was just in ep 29, but there was a song sang by a male singer, which was also very nice. If you can understand them, and have been in love, you'll enjoy them. They adjusted music volume reletively well! I remember in my video production class that I was the only one who ever controlled volume to a T, so it's always good to see that. Volume control either makes or wrecks–if not takes away from dramas, scenes, and movies.
Rewatch:
If I ever lose faith in the world again, this would be a great drama to rewatch. A must-watch for couples(?). (I wouldn't know (T v T)b)
Overall:
A prized jewel. Not so often that we get a romance-game drama.
