I watched the drama first and was in a hurry to finish it cause I found it too borrying. Don’t know why I wanted to watch the movie when it released on Netflix, but glad that I did it. Even when the story is catching, the drama didn’t bring me the same feels the actors on the movie did. Angelababy portrayed Bei Wei Wei with much more emotions, did a good scene with Jing Bo Ran as the main couple learning to like each other besides the game, demonstrated why she is one of the top 10 and I can’t forget how in the movie they made it clear she was a computer science’s student (when she’s with Xiao Nai and the team working on the new game, and the beginning with Cao Guang tho).
I reaaaaaally liked the Er Xi from the movie, how she already plays the game with Bei Wei Wei and don’t depend on her to do the games’ things (if you know what I mean, even if I know it was a part of the plot of the drama to continue). I liked every character, even THAT Cao Guang, cause in the drama I disliked him (the character), and the movie confirmed it to me. KO being friends with Bei Wei Wei since the beginning as the lan house owner was surely perfect, and the actor wasn’t a robot, even the interaction with Hao Mei in the end… Perfect. The one thing that I missed from the drama was the interactions of Bei Wei Wei with Xiao Nai’s friends, but is a movie, they can’t show every little thing the drama did.
And applause to Jing Bo Ran, I liked him the most. He wasn’t as mechanic as Yang Yang portraying Xiao Nai and I was surprised to hear he screaming to his friends to stop fighting and even running with them to get to the building… make me think that Xiao Nai has a young heart after all. He really is charming, I was astonished.
Love O2O is a good movie to pass your time by, to drink a coffee or a tea while watching it alone wondering if someone will ever find you interesting just because you play a game well. And then, rewatch it other day cause it really was a good movie and you don’t have anything besides it to watch.

I wasn't really planning to write a review, but I wasn't planning to watch this drama either so I'm good. 15min each episode isn't that much and I gave it a try.I firstly came here because of Nagano Mei and didn't check the entire cast, but ended up really happy to see Takeru Sato in there when I started watching it, I'll never get tired of seeing his face and hearing his voice.
Since the beginning watching it was a good fresh air in the middle of a hell year (if you're reading this after watching, the choice of words was intended) and not only the main heroine, but EVERYONE in the cast did a good job in this show. If you're expecting a bunch of plot-twist, hard drama and a deep writing show, avoid watching it, but instead if you want to, watch it with peace in mind.
I would pass 6 months only watching Yazaki Yusa playing Suzume and I'm longing to see her getting main role one day because I know she would play it well. And I didn't know I would love a support role so much like I loved Seino Nana playing Yuko and Shison Jun playing Bokute, they both had a lovely chemistry with the main actress and everytime I saw them on screen I felt so happy that I didn't hold myself from crying so much with the ending, I think that kind of event will endure in my head a little longer than I imagined. I have to say, I wasn't expecting how they life would change and how they never distancied from each other even living far away.
Seeing Suzume showing interests in many things while growing up and never giving up of running after stuff that make her satisfied AND being an adult at the same time kinda make you fell a little bit relieved of passing the age of 20 years old and not having a stable life. At the beginning I thought she didn't have a major character development after reaching 24 years old, but then it changed after she had a daughter and had to face a married life while being poor with a kid. The entire time I was cheering for Ryoji to divorce her because I didn't like his behavior toward his family, and because (of course) I was expecting Takeru Sato to take over of the screen again. Have I said how I loved his character here? Giving perfection as usual. But, other than being biased I only cheered and liked Ritsu at the very ending for the same reason I liked Suzume being portrayed as a dreamer despite her circunstances. Getting older in these point of view isn't that bad.
If I would watch it again? Not so soon, perhaps never again because it gave me the kind of feeling of seeing them growing up and getting older that maybe watching it again can ruin it.
