The chemistry is addicting
If I'm being honest, the story and characters aren't at all special. I know the story has a lot of cliche elements to it and a lot of other dramas have done something similar (although please note, I haven't watched much gaming dramas so this review is coming from someone who is watching this type of atmosphere for the first time). Both male lead and female lead characters are your typical smart boy and naive (slightly high pitched) girl. But the acting and charisma of Lin Yi and Lulu Xu is what brings this drama to life.
The main leads' chemistry is outstanding that I don't mind the dragged out storyline of Liang Chen not knowing that Lu Jing knows her identity. There's a spark in every scene they're together in whether that be in real life or in-game. The charisma of the actors really make these characters better than they actually are. Lin Yi has also heavily improved from Put Your Head On My Shoulder.
But the big flaw of the drama is how it has a weak supporting cast. Strong leads do make the drama entertaining but its side characters add nothing else to the story, making you want to skip their scenes. If the secondary cast was more likable, the drama as a whole would have been stronger.
Overall, the drama is able to hype up its lead couple really well. But in a way I would say that may be the only part of the drama that actually excels? Cinematography is great and I love its use of music in important scenes but it's not spectacular either. As a romcom though, it's definitely worth a watch. After all, the main point of a romcom is to hook you in through the leading pair. My rating of the drama is purely based off my enjoyment of watching the two leads, so is it worth it? I would say yes, just don't expect a well-rounded drama that is excellent in every aspect.
