LOVVVEEEDDD IIIITTTTT!!!
This is the second best drama of Linyi i feel other than put your head on my shoulder. Idk why a lot of people dislike this drama because I don't find anything to dislike about it. The ML fell for the female lead after she confessed that she was dough twist because he understood that she changed her personality because of him. He did not start to like her after knowing that she's dough twist, he used to like her personality and when he got to know that she has always been like that, he fell for her even more.Also, the FL gave a tough time to the ML because she got rejected in front of almost all of her classmates so, obviously, any person with their sane mind would react like the FL did.
I think this drama is extremely good and WAYYY BETTER than some of the other gaming related dramas I've watched, I watched Falling into your smile, Love 020, Go Go Squid etc, but I didn't like them this much.
I wouldn't list the positives and negatives because I loved everything about this drama. It is an EXTREMELY COMFORTING drama which you could watch after a whole day of hectic schedule, The OSTs are soothing and in my spotify playlist now... Thee acting is top-notch and I loved every part of the comic scenes.
There are second and third leads but they do not get extreme highlight so we don't get second lead syndrome too.
I actually also really liked the second couple although I was a little disappointed when they did not get enough screentime because they spent a lot of time in showing Junnan with his ex (which idk why they added her because it didn't make much sense and he did not even regret much of breaking up with her as it was completely his fault, she was very sweet.)
Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this drama and it's a must watch. If you LOVVVEEEE watching fluffy, romcom office romance and neighbor's trope. This drama is TOOOO SWEET and probably the CUTESSTT Chinese drama I've watched after Hidden Love and When I Fly Towards You, last year.

Watch it if you are a huge fan of the cast otherwise it can be ignored
It is a cute and fluffy love story between two people who have a love for making and playing games.The show starts good but becomes draggy with the entire "hard to please" trope being pulled first by the ML and then by FL. For more than half the show this push and pull continues, making it become quite boring and even making the FL's character look childish and annoying too.
The story isn't something new or out of the box and the strong point of the show is just its lead casts. If you are a fan of LY and ZY or are looking for some cute cliche love story drama then you may go for it otherwise you can ignore it as it doesn't bring anything new from what has been shown in C dramas a hundred times.

So much potential
I don't know about you, but I hated the ending.This drama is funny and cute, with the exception of the 2ndFL. It is not that she is outside the chinese drama beauty standards, but the fact her character became so far away from where she started off. As someone who is portrayed to have social anxiety, she did not seem to be like this towards the end, which is frustrating.
I am not sure why there were so many angst between the characters for silly situations, but the story between the ML and FL was very well developed. Which is why I hated the ending. I didn't understand why they wanted to trick the viewers to think they are getting married while packing the 囍糖 - Wedding candy, and decorating the office like a bridal shower. Then it was to celebrate the games' sales performance. I think it could have ended better with news articles suggesting it being the first 3A game ever to come out of China.
Also, I wish he was able to celebrate with his father's co-founders - I didnt understand why a super small cameo from the investor who was his father's co-founder. And also, his mother not even accepting that her son has achieved both his and his father's dream. Or at least indicating this outcome.
I did rewatch it for the romance, but the story line was not up to my standards.

A toxic train wreck, yet still somehow cute
The story is just awful… yet still cute enough that I kept watching. The first half is a horrible, toxic relationship mess with everyone lying about who they really are. (That part does get better.) Instead of trying it win her over, he focuses a lot of energy on manipulating and trying to intimidate anyone else who likes her. There’s a lot of high school type behavior.This show is a light watch, with a fair amount of cringe. But it is also kind of adorable. The plot isn’t complicated, so it doesn’t take a lot of energy to follow it. There are no real “bad guys” and no surprises in the story. It’s a good choice if you just want to relax and unwind without getting too invested in a story.
I did enjoy the in-game scenes and wish they had continued more of that through the show. The side characters were cute, though also not very well developed. Of course, Hong Yao is always delicious and I’d like to have seen more of him.
One thing that did annoy me a bit was that the male lead was attracted to the female lead because she was fierce. But as soon as they got together she turned very docile. It was an entire personality shift.
All in all.. I don’t regret watching it, it probably won’t watch it again.

Light and Fluffy - keep the remote handy to fast forward
Soap Opera - updated. Thank gawd it was over in 24 episodes.Chinese Drama/Rom Com so, you must have:
- Really bad acting with the intake any kind of alcohol.
- The lead female must be really annoying for at least the first six episodes.
- Most side character females are not allowed to use their brains. No company would ever hire the timid secretary who preferred costume design and put her near such an important project. HR would have never let her get past a first interview.
- There must be at least three characters that talk too much but, say very little.
- Parents were window dressing. A good thing. The ML's dad propelled the story but, only through flashbacks - it saved so much time. His mother could have phoned in her performance.
After a few episodes, you can fast forward through whole sections and not miss a thing. ML does a good job of trying to atone for being a complete jerk. FL doesn't give herself enough time to process how awful he was to her. Having the two of them spending almost 24 hours together would be rough on anyone - especially, when one hurts you to the core. They should have had FL go home to the parent's house for several days after the rejection. She wasn't involved in the main project yet and it would have made her a more stable/mature character. Calling in sick for a couple days plus a weekend would have been perfect.
There must have been some social media stuff about her and eating. The director spent too much time with full face close ups of her eating - looking at her phone - and talking - all at the same time - annoying and a little disgusting. You'll notice that you almost never see ML eat more than a few bites before scene ends.
Fashion - honestly, loved all of it. Usually, they have them wearing the oddest styles and designs that don't always compliment. But, this one got it right in all ways.
The environment - too clean...too perfect. China understands that they can train a planet to believe life is perfect - just like everywhere else - in China. No real life mentions of life and its strict controls. Houses are gorgeous. Nary a mention of cost of living. Food is always plentiful and crime is always easily solved with four minutes of watching someone. Propaganda.
Life in the bedsheets is similar to how Korea treats its BLs right now. Once you get past a kiss or, two - you see them fully clothed in bed wearing clean bright clothes. In this one - it is 1950 America - you don't see them in bed together past a hug.
ML is a great actor. I went back to the scenes where he realized his terrible mistake. Perfect. He handled everything from that moment on perfectly. I stuck with it for him - I hope he has a long successful career.

Pensé que ya no hacían este tipo cliché
Llevo bastante tiempo viendo dramas asiáticos así que pensé que este tipo de historias ya no las hacían y me refiero al protagonista frió que es perseguido por la protagonista hasta arrastrar su dignidad.En primer lugar quiero hablar de la confusión que existen entre ser una persona frio y ser una persona grosera y definitivamente el protagonista era lo segundo. La verdad que no logré comprender porque era tan agresivo con la protagonista, incluso anteponer sus prejuicios personales en el ámbito laboral y me refiero específicamente cuando no le dio oportunidad de presentar su trabajo porque no lo mandó a tiempo a pesar de no ser su culpa, el tipo no quiso escuchar escusas y después se arrepintió y prácticamente la arrastró a su equipo.
Respecto a la protagonista parecía alguien con carácter pero cuando se trataba de él perdía toda la dignidad que tenía, era lamentable, lo único que me gustó de ella fue su faceta de mandona .
**Me hubiera gustado que la protagonista escogiera su carrera profesional en lugar de quedarse con el chico, incluso que en ese camino se topará con alguien que la amará y respetará de verdad.

Nice light movie
This is my first drama of both FL and ML and i was wholly surprised by their performance.I was just trying my luck and randomly choose to watch this. Havent know anything about this series prior to watching, havent seen any trailer, just came across this reel in IG once. The plot is typical, nothing too elaborated or havent seen before but it’s light and well played, so i have no qualm about that. The FL’s acting caught my attention, she was quirky and the way she delivered her lines matched up with the savageness of her character and i was very well entertained. Lol. The FL grab my attention to keep watching even before the ML has the chance to (i grow to like the ML later). Cant believe this is Gu Xiang from WOH though. I just know it after coming here after finishing the series. Lol. She has the potential to be the next FL roles and I would like to see more of her. The ML has potential as well and the vibe he was giving can very well melt you as well (but still shows some innocence of first love. Lol). I love that even though theres heart breaks in between, the laugh scene can still be flawlessly inserted.
I like how they developed the second love story as well. Convincing, while not taking over the love story between the ML and FL. I just had some issue with Su Zheng as the ML contender, i feel like SZ’s character is not developed enough or been given screentime enough to be able to bring up a challenge to the ML.
The ost sounds nice as well. Though nothing that stuck with you long after.

Watch Episode 1 then head straight to ep 7!! :D
May contain spoilers.Writing this review to defend my boy Gu Xun. lol. A little tip, watch episode 1 then skip to episode 7. ;)
NGL I almost dropped this drama because of how annoying FL was in the first 6 episodes. I decided to pick it up again because I was really curious why it was so popular last year. Turns out, it is a fairly good show.
Now, about FL being annoying and Gu Xun (ML) being a d*ck in the first 6 episodes - totally part of their story. He was not mean to her for no reason, in ep 1 he finds out she has a "crush" in real life, not knowing it was him (they only know each other online and completely anonymous to each other in real life). So in order for her to surely be rejected by her crush, he gives her advice about what boys like about girls. Of course, the advice he gives her are things that he hates about girls - again, his intention is to make sure her crush rejects her not knowing that he is her crush! So what happens? FL follows his advice (FL's friend mocks her by asking why she is even following a boy's advice about boys?) All of this is in ep 1 so just watch ep 1 then head straight to ep 7. :)
My boy Gu Xun has been getting hate because people did not pay attention to these things in EP 1. It was pretty much set up in the first episode and I only fully understood what was happening during their scene in ep 7. It was so satisfying to see him regret his whole life decisions lol.
Episode 19 also that heartwarming hug, he looks like a really cute puppy with those eyes backed by the OST "With Me" which is my favorite song in the series :)

Saved by FEW domestic romance scenes
I feel awful to say this cuz I like LinYi but this drama is a miss. Nothing develops properly, the screenplay is messy, their romance never takes off and seems forced. You don’t get to get attached to anything going on. The only nice things are:1. Zhou Ye (FL) creates a consistent character you end up linking, with a tomboyish vibe and attitude.
2. LinYi (ML) delivers his heartwarming domestic scenes as we are used to seeing him do. But these are FEW.
3. Music is nice SOMETIMES.
I could list a lot of what goes wrong but I just don’t have the energy cuz it’s a lot.
I’m sorry LinYi still love u tho

Long time not find a drama that's suck me in in the first few min. Haha... Interested to watch for Lin Yi & Zhou Ye. And I'm quite glad I've watch this.... Story about online friends that meet up in the game. Gu Xun (GX) & Yue Qian Ling (QL) both met while playing online together, GX like the character of his female online friend without realizing who she is. While QL herself has long held feelings for her university idol, GX.
Having the opportunity, QL decided to get closer to GX by pretend she's one 'pure white' girl, girl characteristics liked by many boy, only to find out that GX don't like that characteristics at all. And still on the day of the graduation, she decided to confesses her feeling to GX, just only to be cruelly rejected!
On the same day, GX finally find out who is the girl player that's he actually like. And that's make him quite devastated, and that's quite funny to watch, one of the scene that's I really like to re-watch over & over.... Since that's faithful day, GX try to make up for his mistake, while QL try to move on....
And their situation getting more interesting or complicated, cause GX & QL work in the same company & live in the same building just across the hall. After QL finally lifted her pretend face & GX know who she is, GX find out how talented QL actually is & try to include her in his team & that's make the story even more interesting to watch... Haha... How will they story goes in the end...? Let's find out urself....
Ok enough about the story. Now let's talk about what i like and don't like about this drama.
What i like:
+ The chemistry between Zhou Ye & Lin Yi. It's like watch friends falling in love with each other
+ How GX try to make up his mistake to QL.
+ The cute & stupid relationship between Jiang Jun Nan & Chen Xin Yi.
What i don't like:
- One stupid plot. All this time GX & QL play with their voice, like speaking through mike & not using fake voice. How come none of them realized who the other player are, when they meet each other.
Overall this really one good youth drama to watch....

cute and messy
cute drama but it was so messy 😬i'll say the first few eps were really hard to watch cuz of the ml's behaviour towards fl but i'll take it.. whole drama was really predictable, i mean they could do a better job but yeah 😭
i hated how they left things unfinished and gave some roles very little screentime like
fl's bestie from her uni– she barely had any screentime i wish i could see her more tbh
second lead couple– trust me when i say i don't even know when they fell in love or started dating
ml's mom– there was only two scenes where i saw her and after her getting mad at her son i dont think i remember her forgiving him
the ending– it was super basic and rushed, really boring i had to fast forward and skip through the last two eps 🙏
the only things that kept me going were the visuals, chemistry, cuteness and the love hate thing in the beginning ( although i absolutely hated it when the ml was being rude to my girlie )

Everyone loves novel
The character depth and the story flow were so much better in the novel. I was very much excited about this, hoping on lines of love scenery.Production quality was average. They made many changes to story and characters. Every episode had them having fun in some party or physical game.
ML was unconvincing as the head of the ninth team. Fl was good.
It started well but fizzed out. Like my interest in this show.
----
This is the story of a timid anxious girl who goes to interview only to mistake her boss as peer and ends up impressing him. She slowly transforms herself to confident person and has a makeover too. She has many hobbies she can sew, can perform, and even kick. She falls for her boss but ends up having a heartbreak. Thankly, she gets him in the end.
Did I just make up a story? No this is the story of SFL who ends up taking more screentime than main leads.
