Worth Watching

I watched the Thai version of this show first ("Switch On") without realizing it was a remake of this one. I liked it and reviewed it on this site, but of course wanted to see this original version as soon as I learned of its existence so it was my very next watch. And this one was great! The Thai one, though I liked it, was nonsensical, but this one MADE TOTAL SENSE THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH!! Everything is explained! Such sweet, sweet logic! I missed that so much in the Thai version, lol.

I've always loved the "comic comes to life" or "video game becomes real" trope and this one did not disappoint! Great storyline, believeable plots, good acting, no horrible misunderstanding, happy ending. They did leave a couple things hanging, though, a little bit. And I thought the romance was a bit more intense and compelling in the Thai version, but that doesn't mean this one wasn't good. Overall it was really good and worth watching. I'll probably watch it again in the future.

I'm rating the music a 5.5 simply because I barely noticed it...so it was neither compelling nor irritating. But the soundtrack has never been terribly important to me when watching a show anyway.
