Story - This story was unique and unlike many I’ve seen. The beginning immediately grasped my attention and it went up from there. Elaborating on the relationship; both fit very well together and you can expect some danger along with fluff in their romance. You can really see the chemistry. You mix in a little bit of DANG WE’RE SCREWED and AWW into one and that’s what you get with this. Each cliffhanger in each episode made me never want to stop. It was to the point where I looked at the clock and realized it was 2am. I know, relatable right?
Acting/Cast - These 2 main leads did a terrific job at portraying their characters. They made it very realistic in each of their situations. You won’t get any of that weird cliche tension in this drama. Some of the supporting character roles were a bit cringe, I gotta admit, but the majority was great. The male lead, Junho, is in a kpop group called 2PM if you didn’t know, so if you come out of this experience liking him, you can see more of him!
Music - The music had a slow, dazing feeling, almost like you were going to bed. On the site I watched this drama on, they unfortunately had to mute some of the song audio because of copyright issues, but I was to lazy to visit another site. The only nit picky thing I’d have to say is that the majority of songs keep playing repeatedly.
Rewatch Value - To put it straightforward, I don’t usually rewatch the dramas that I’ve already seen. But I had to give this rate an 8 or else the overll rate would be lower and I DON’T WANT THAT!
Overall - It was honestly such a refreshing drama and I’m excited to see what’s in store next. Until we meet again!

The acting for each role is great, you can really tell that all the actors fit their character pretty well.
I liked this drama because:
1) The cast; Mainly Kim Soo Hyun and Jun ji-hyun. I have been a Kim soo hyun fan since "Dream High" so that's how I found out about this drama. I also loved the actor who played the villain in this drama (Shin Sung Rok) because he portrayed the antagonist very well.
2) The story; I do admit that this plot was a unique one. For the people who read the summary and are skeptical, DON'T BE. At first glance, you might find the plot weird and not your style (trust me, that's what I thought), but once you see the first episode and keep going on, it will definitely exceed your expectations.
I didn't like this drama because:
uh...... I can't really find a reason not to like it. I do think that it has a bit too much of crying, but then again, all kdramas have tons of crying. It's just personal preference, though I just feel awkward when i see someone cry.
Hopefully this helped

Story - I honestly thought the story was fun and exciting. The computer effects for the gaming parts were overall ok, but the movie version was better. By no means am I saying that this is unique in any way so if you’re looking for something different, this isn’t not the drama for you. I personally just like Tom reminisce on the cliches. Fortunately, there are many parts in this drama where I laughed my butt off. Especially with the friends of Xiao Yang. Unfortunately, there are many unlikable characters in this drama and I absolutely can’t stand them talking shit about the main character so I tend to skip many of those parts.
Acting/Cast - As much as I would love to say the cast was absolutely amazing, I can’t bring myself to do so. It felt like the chemistry between the two main leads were super awkward while all the supporting roles acted more natural. It didn’t feel like the chemistry built up enough. There were many parts with cute romance scene though, but you will occasionally get that awkward tension.
Music - Music was average to me. Good melody, nice beat.
Rewatch Value - Quite frankly, I barely ever rewatch dramas even if they were super good. Just a personal preference.
Overall - Nice story, fluffy romance, main leads are hot, supporting roles are funny as hell. Not much could go wrong.
Until we meet again!
