The main issue of this drama is the acting. He's a robot and she's a cold board that sometimes uses a cute facial expression, but that's it. The story says she's some kind of genius, but besides studying a lot and being good at a videogame, no proof of her intelligence has been found yet. I can't even describe the guy, he just stays there and looks good, being cool, cold-hearted or whatever.
Even their love story is awkward: they pass from online to offline dating without a reason...? I mean, c'mon. They barely spoke to each other during the first live encounter and for the majority of time was a monologue inside the girl's head. They said multiple times that what's matter is inside and not the beauty outside, still, they're together without really knowing each other? They spend the majority of their conversations talking about other people's matters.
Their relationship is based exactly on what? No idea, really.
The only characters that bring a little smile on the viewer are the three roommates of the guy.
For the rest, it was painful to watch.

Surprisingly terrible for how highly rated it is
It’s rare for me to drop a drama this far in, but I simply cannot make myself slog through any more of this. The show is what it is and I don’t expect anything will change.There is very little plot here, and it’s straight up boring. But worse than that are the characters. The FL is set up as some genius rockstar gamer girl, but absolutely nothing on screen supports that. She is naive, simpering, weak-willed, and easily pushed around. The ML is supposed to be the campus hot guy, but he is essentially a block of wood. He displays little emotion other than arrogance, condescension, and occasional rye amusement at how silly his girlfriend is.
The main actress also seems quite uncomfortable performing intimate scenes (or she was directed to be that way, who knows). The kisses are ridiculous to watch - the lead actor is actually trying to perform passionate kisses (and is quite good at it) while the actress stands stockstill and pinches her lips together tightly, looking like she can’t wait to get out of there.
There were some side characters and potential romances that I was mildly interested in, but they didn’t get enough screen time to keep me going. If you want a modern cdrama romcom with video game elements I suggest watching You Are My Glory instead.

The act make me sick
The side character act makes me want to punch in the face. they are so annoying moreover the way the FL eat makes me feel sick in my face, how can the character that describes like food become so thin, and eat nothing? The male lead just standing there with that plain face is so funny.There is too much dubbing that is annoying, Zhao Er Xi / Huan Tian Xi Di is so annoying even the dubbing also annoying

One can only wonder about the high rating
Things I liked1 The premise or what I thought would be the premise. They didn't try too hard to make it work, did they? I can't fathom how this drama has such a high score. I'm probably missing something but I can't imagine what.
2 The ML. I'll have to split this between the actor and the character. The actor wasn't that bad. Yes, he didn't have a lot to base his acting, but he is handsome, even though in a classical way, and I want to believe that if the script was better he'd be better. I may be wrong though. That said, he's so handsome, it's easy to see why he got the role. Even if I don't like that kind of beauty it'd be hypocritical to not notice how handsome he is. And I want handsome ML in my rom coms.
Things I disliked
1 The script and the fact that the characters were never three dimensional. They are all like cardboard characters and unfortunately the actors don't have much to work with and not enough talent to work with the little they have.
2 The friends and the secondary cast. No one stood out for me and I had no one to root for.
3 The ML. I'll have to split this between the actor and the character. The character was so so and he had some questionable lines that made me cringe. He wasn't what I calla green flag. Not a red one either but in any case he wasn't what I want in a rom com.
4 Lack of chemistry between the leads. I didn't see any, although one or two kisses weren't that bad.
Things I hated
1 The FL. I just don't get it. Is she supposed to be smart? Because I didn't see that. I saw a stupid teenager who thought she was beautiful and smart and walked around with this belief written allover her face. I'll be honest, I think she's a terrible terrible actress. Add to it that I don't find her beautiful at all and you have me perplexed about why she was cast as the ML. What I get from her is the vibe: I'm beautiful and don't need anything else to get on in life. Not only the character but also he actress. I feel like the actress knows she's beautiful and acts like she's the princess everyone has to bow to. Like she knew she acted and never immersed herself into the character. Sorry if I'm mistaken, this is what she projected for me. The character wasn't special either. She was supposedly smart but she never really showed that.

overhyped...
I couldn't stand this show, it was too difficult to watch. The story was too cliché. If there was chemistry maybe I would've continued but the acting was quite bland. The best part of this show were the soundtracks; I couldn't stop singing them for a while. Other than that, I didn't like anything else. I'm not a fan of both main characters. The FL is well-known and her acting is always the same, immature and quirky which isn't always cute. She's not a bad actress, it's just not my cup of tea.Definitely overhyped and will not finish.

Too ridiculous even for me
I've seen a lot of bad shows, but this one was just ridiculous.Students acting like businessmen, computer science students knowing nothing about computers, a battle RPG game where you have to get married for absolutely no reason at all, petty fights and arguments, people falling in love left, right and center with fictional game character and acting way too serious about it. Then there's the guy who IRL almost killed his friend (ML), and instead of apologizing to him for injuring him, he apologized to the FL because - and get this - the ML couldn't show up for a game, as he was in a coma (!!!), causing the FL to lose a video game battle.
And don't even get me started on the special snowflake that is the female lead who's apparently the only smart student on the entire campus and everyone wants to date her. Meanwhile, she falls in love with a guy in the game (ML) and quits the game because he doesn't show up ONCE.
Ugh, I'm frustrated just typing this.

Overhyped
First of all, this drama got to me recommended back when I was new to Chinese drama. Apparently this drama was supposed to be the newcomer- friendly but still exceptionally good drama. Well I was disappointed. I am actually surprised about how much it was hyped. Beware, I did not finish this drama, I also will not finish it.To start off with, the potential in the plot is not bad on itself, but somehow the way it was executed made the whole plot boring to me. There was no build- up moment, no real cliffhanger nor any moment created to make you hold your breath back anticipating for what's next. No, it felt like I was watching a monotonous dialogue. The only thing that could have saved this, could have been the acting of the main leads.
But let's go on on that, the acting was cutely bad. Cutely bad, because even though their acting weren't horrendous, the fact that their acting was boring multiplied to the already- boring plot. The main male lead almost held no expression, while the female lead felt like she did not fit the role. She might have, but she did not play the part.
Since I did not finish this drama, I'd say this has no rewatch value. Some people might love this drama, some might not. As a person that is not shy from heavy palace dramas and dramas with many episodes, this drama was just not my cup of tea. This is something I concluded of course after I explored other Chinese dramas.

The Casts r beautiful i cant even-
Yang Yang sLAYS, his acting is on point, but not a big fan of Zheng Shuang's acting BUT it's not bad it's just not as good as Yang Yang. Specially Kiss Scenes she just stand there like nothing happened.
I Love the Game element of the story that they make them act as if they're in the game,
The romance is very sweet, The character develompment > interesting.
the first 9 episodes are not as interesting after 10 but still as good.
