Cute Mindless Show with Choppy Production

This is a web-novel adaptation about a couple of actor/actress that got entangled in both virtual and real life, thus the drama have a ‘game’ portion and ‘reality’ portion.

Story: Decent plot but they could’ve give us better narratives. A lot of weird/ confusing scenes if you did not read the novel beforehand. The production did a terrible post-production work - a lot of choppy editing that SHOWS. A lot of hidden (cut down, i think) parts that further confuse viewers. I personally got so annoyed i decided to read the entire novel online, halfway into the series. Generally they stick to the novel but cut out a lot of important scenes (God knows why) and entirely exclude the later chapters of the novel. Ending is true to the novel.
I personally love the female lead’s personality and her realistic relationship with her brother. Very heartwarming to watch. Male lead is written as a tsundere character, but comes off as stiff as a stone. His acting is so stoic, I skipped some of his solo scenes altogether. Supporting actors did a decent job, though i think they casted the wrong actor to play Zhangxing.

I think the ‘game’ portion of the story is actually more compelling than the reality parts. Male lead looks WAY better in costumes, too.

All in all, a cute mindless drama to pass time. Don’t dwell on the logic and we’ll be fine.
