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.

Great Drama - Cute
I binged all the episodes that were out, and then rewatched some before it even finished.I think this drama is really good and really cute and I love the leads characters.
Pay no attention to the description here though, it’s completely wrong and inaccurate.
In short, he’s in university & loves to game - and excels in this profession. He has a crush on a celebrity singer
Said celebrity singer needs to learn how to play the game; and thus ends up getting his coaching - but she never lets him know her identity.
The two basically end up getting to know each other online through games first

Slightly disappointed
I was waiting for this drama to air since I saw the teaser trailer. It was really a beautifully done teaser. When I watched the first few episodes I was quite hooked, the story was simple and the romance was slow budding and sweet. However as more episodes passed by I was disappointed by the lack of actual point to the story.~Loves~
- The CGI for the gaming sequence is very well done
- The whole drama was beautifully shot, and the cast looks great
- The falling in love while gaming is pretty cute
~Hates~
- Lack of character development in both FL and ML. Aside from FL becoming a better gamer (not even sure how that suddenly happens since ML wasn't teaching her much, just letting admire his gaming prowess, guess she's a fast learner after all)
- The FL is supposedly a successful singer, but gets shy from just a look from a student. He's good looking I give you that, but being a singer, can't be she have never interact with attractive guys to be that impacted?
- I don't really care for the story of the side couple, I forwarded through it all. The side love story seems to be forced as there's no tie in to the main couple besides the fact that they're both friends with each other. The romance doesn't add anything to the story
- Synopsis feels like a cheat, I would expect at least some "chasing after your dreams" storyline to tie in to the gaming part. But it seems like there's none? The ML is a university student who is supposedly perfect and smart. But doesn't seems like he has any dreams whatsoever and is just busy dating his dream girl. Also is randomly a violin genius on top of a computer genius??? Scriptwriter, choose one thing only please!!
- Supposedly popular female actress walks around dating with a man but not even concerned with hiding her face from paparazzi
Okay end of my rant. I guess it would be a nice fluff piece if you're looking for something light to watch on a weekend. Maybe I'm disappointed cause I was expecting more to the story and there's basically nothing much going on.

Cute Chill Love Story
I'm a bit biased since the male lead is Lin Yi. I find him cute when I saw him first in Put Your Head On My Shoulder drama. His acting is subtle but very cute. As for the female lead, this is the first time I've watched her.I find that the female lead doesn't fit in this role. I mean she is cute and etc. but since she is supposed to be a singer, I don't find her fitting for the role. Although it was initially insinuated that there will be an age gap between the lead, I find the female lead a tad too old looking beside the male lead.
For the story line, I think it is becoming a norm where ordinary people falls in love with an idol or actor/actress. I love online games and I think (regardless of the occupation), if you really spend a lot of time playing together, it is possible to develop some feelings. I love how the games comes "alive" thru them. I remember like how they did it also for Love O2O. Inserting this "game action" gives some sort of break from all the "drama" (no pun intended) in their life. The second male lead I also find too old for the female lead.
So far no heavy drama which I really like. There is enough cute scenes that makes you want to watch more. Hhhmmm the side story for the second leads, I find a bit confusing so I just usually skip it. But overall this is worth watching more than once.
As for the music, I love the OST so far. Very light and refreshing to the ears. I plan to download them on my phone.

First thoughts...
Well, you all may think I wrote this review too fast or judged it too quick but I just had to give out my thoughts.I think its first impression on me was actually quite good. I kinda like all dramas with gaming involved (like Love O2O or Go Go Squid or Cross Fire) as I find them thrilling and also because its kinda my hobby.
The opening ost kinda gave me a feeling similar to the kind you find when watching an American series and felt nice to see and hear something different in Chinese dramas for a change.
The music was the first thing that drew me towards this drama, it kinda gave me a feeling of satisfaction for some reason(maybe because the singer's voice was good..^_^) and the drama also had few comedic factors(characters) which is quite enjoyable. It's a normal rom-com genre drama and a bit cliche. If you hadn't watched other Chinese dramas of same type or sort then I think you will enjoy it.
I also found out that the ML's(Lin Yi) acting has improved a lot from his previous(1st) drama 'Put Your Head On My Shoulder' and I kinda like this drama more than his recent works from the 'The Blessed Girl'. I found this drama having many similar points from Love O2O in the sense the ML is in University, lives in a dorm, has good relation with his dorm mates, more intelligent than them(more skilled), ML & FL is popular, male like female first and the gaming and also similar to cross fire as the characters actually play the game kind of like a virtual game in the episodes though its not actually virtual(if that makes sense....)
I will definitely recommend this drama for watching and for rewatching but again it totally depends on your preference.

Bu dizinin senaryosu yanlış ellerde
Konu güzel ama keşke senaryosunu doğru düzgün birine yazdırsaydınız. Öyle bir senaryo ki iki karakter var gerisi tip, hareketleri de saçma sapan. Hele baş oğlanımızın oda arkadaşlarının neden bu kadar beyinsiz olduklarını sorguladım. Ulan kaç yaşında adamlar, Üniversite'de okuyorlar ama senarist erkeğimizi yüceltecek diye ordan sızlatıyor, burdan sızlatıyor parçasına yapıştırıp 20 yaşındaki adamları kepaze ediyor. Ana karakterlerin pohpohlanması Wattpad usulü, dünya onların etrafında dönüyor ve dizide saçmalıklar diz boyu. Sırf ana karakterler oyun oynasın ve buluşup sevgili olsunlar çünkü ikisi tatlılar diye izledim ama bir süre sonra artık daha fazla dayanamadım da. Zaten ikisi hariç diğer sahneleri atlamaya başlamıştım. Açıp evde yaz dizisi diye izlemem ama Allah var oyun sahneleri güzeldi. Fazla verdiğimi düşünüyorum ama oyun anları ve müzik anca 4 puan ediyor, kusura bakmayın.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

good vibe, poor story
nice romance drama sadly with poor story and just little above average coupling.Vibe is nice and cute all about famous singer older girl and younger man getting together.
These game sequences and teaching etc wasnt done well it was mostly for effect than for story.
Both main leads was had quite mischievous behaviour.. sadly they didnt applied it to their counterpart if they got more rememberable flirting scenes this drama would be much better.
plot - FL is famous singer, ML is genius student of programming and famous game streamer of popular game which FL got offer to endorse. Friend of FL introduces ML to her as game coach. Its how they meet and its how they start their relationship.
genre -romance, entertainment industry, gaming

Allot of goo and sweetness surrounded by stalking and predictability
This drama is sweet but has so many stalkers in it that one may want to rename it to "Stalking scenery". The stalking here is portrayed as some kind of miss placed affection but not att all called out. The drama does however have a good balance of gooey romance, action and conflicts in it with the added bonus of the scenes inside the computer game, that add both action and sweetness to the drama.The dramas douse however not come with anything a person who has seen c-dramas before has not seen before but it is well executed. The plot is extremely predictable.I'm not saying it as a bad thing. predictable can be fun and entertaining too. If I had a BINGO chart with c-drama tropes this drama would hit BINGO on several lines. It was actually pretty funny to watch as the predictable trope came along i really just wanted to tick a box or shout BINGO but had neither the Bingo chart or a list but you who have not seen it, I strongly recommend you try.
The music is pretty good, there is one song that keeps on playing over and over again while other songs only come on once or twice. It would have been nice to hear the other songs more and the first song a bit less. The looks the leads exchange in the beginning of the drama are so intense it reaches out thru the screen, but be were that once the tension between the leads is gone, the chemistry slowly follows. Which leaves us with the Lin Yis extreme charm and cuteness to hold up ones interest, and well it did the job for me.
When entering a C-drama I'm always prepared for the male lead to force himself on the female lead. And have almost developed a scale of between full on disrespect and rape 1 to 10 respectful and consensual relationship. This guy scores a 9 seeing he douse cross the line a little bit once but makes up for it later on and is over all very respectful towards the female lead. I am however not really thrilled over how the female leads interest for physical intimacy is portrayed. A little bit to much of the guy is expected to want it all the time while the girl is not supposed to admit to wanting it though she probably is just as interested just puts me off. Writers please lets start writing healthy consensual relationships with or without physical intimacy where both parts are equally interested in whatever they may be interested in.
The side characters in this drama where mid annoying for most parts and did not really bring much to the table so I decided to skip the side couples scenens mostly since I figured life is to short for stalkers as well as mildly annoying side characters, I recommend you do the same, it ups the enjoyment by quite a bit ;)
All in all a pretty ok drama to watch, allot of sweet gooey (more intense then fluffy) scenens, a very sweet male lead and a pretty decent female lead for most parts with an okay story line. If you are in it for the sweet gooey parts this is definitely worth watching but if you want something with substance do look elsewhere.
