I watched this for Esther Yu bc in LBFAD she started out annoying but grew on me bc she eventually matured. I thought it would be the same with this drama. But she stayed babyish and annoying. Also the main plot is supposed to be about her being in a game and her having to "stay in character" and it just stopped after episode 7. That was what made it interesting. And the main couple just wasn't completely convincing. These two were together in Moonlight and I thought they had great chemistry in that drama. But here, I just wasn't sold. There were cute moments between them but all she did was cry instead of confessing how she felt when the moment came. And then, boom?, we're supposed to believe they're in a committed relationship headed for marriage? And then the ending was just nonsense. Why make him the author? And then why not show them back together in reality after that or at least meeting?

What I did like was the friendship theme and how she changed the other character's fates by creating a bond between the 4 of them. Also the fight scenes & visuals were pretty good. Overall it was watchable until the end. Not boring at all. But probably won't rewatch it and definitely not a top favorite drama sadly. I wanted to like this so much more.
