A typical Idol Drama
Good drama..no cliches as such..quite predictable but also nothing too dramatic about the storyline. One thing kind of erks me is that Xiao Nai's love or liking to say began nowhere. He just randomly one day comes over to her seat on the basketball court marking his territory. It was kinda random for a guy to fall for a girl he never met, never spoke to. Nothing wrong with Wei Wei as she never spoke to this guy so her stance is normal. (Wei Wei is too skinny. Legs and arms are too thin and bony. Not that I'm criticizing her, just stating a fact)The guy is the regular perfect male lead always displaying heroic aura. He is perfect in everything and is capable of achieving anything and everything. I maybe wrong about him falling for her at the pc cafe or maybe right but the ending line that he says that "Had I known the....(cant remember the line sorry?) I would have fallen for you at first sight." What does he mean by that? Does he mean to say he didnt fall for her at the first sight..? That gives me mystery vibes as to how did he fall for her?? So if someone knows please tell me whats the case..Anyway one really good thing in this drama was the friendship among the ML's friends and FL's friends. Those true friends are something to yearn for. True friends are really rare and that aspect is what I really appreciate. I also like the character development of Zhao Erxi of how she is heartbroken when she finds that the guy she likes, likes her best friend. She blames this on her best friend but then realises that its not Wei Wei's fault. And instead mends her friendship than going on and on about it.
The game factor was also really wholesome and refreshing. The graphics were of great quality. It was very refreshing to watch a girl being a gamer also really good at it. She was not stupid as the typical C-drama FLs are. Bei Wei Wei was a good character but at some times she gave out over reactions such as too much smiling.
Concluding as, good light hearted drama with good amount of romance and a wholesome display of true friendship.

A cute fluffy drama
I'm going to be honest, the plot is paper thin and the characters are one-dimensional at best. Although I am giving this drama an 8 because it still gave what it needed to for it to be watchable. If you want a light fluffy drama to watch just to pass time this is what you're looking for. The main couple is is the stereotypical perfect couple and the second couple is so messy I would recommend skipping their episodes. I googled which episodes to skip and I think it helped improve the watching experience. Overall it was an okay drama and I would rewatch it if I was bored one day.Was this review helpful to you?

A green flag drama that's so nice it's sometimes boring
I've watched this drama and while I really like how wholesome it felt I'm not sure if I really like it so much.It's great to finally see a Chinese drama where villain characters are normal, not obsessive and even show some inner growth. Total green flags.
I loved how groups of friends were portrayed. It was really nice to watch their playful banter.
At the same time the banter between the leads didn't feel half as good. I don't know if it was because of the translation but their dialogue felt quite stiff. It was difficult to see when they (supposedly) build their deep and trustful relationship. It was never showed how their connected as an adult couple (not students that are just going out). So it felt as if it's enough to spend a lot of time together to be a great couple;)
Also there were some moments when ML felt more like a stalker than a love intrest (the FL gets to know him in 9th episode). Side character KO felt creepy through the whole drama (was it supposed to be hinting some romantic interest with another guy?).
My main problem with this drama is that ML was just too great. He was great at everything and with everybody. There was not a problem he couldn't predicted and solve before the problem itself was even revealed to the audience. In the end it was somewhat boring. On the other hand, FL (who was supposed to be his female counterpart) wasn't given any challenge to show off her skills. In the end she was reduced to ordering food and playing the online game according to his instructions.
All in all, it was a good, nice watch. Although I would enjoy it more if the FL was portrayed more lively and with more occasion to show her wit.

Either you'll love it or you'll hate it
This drama enlighten my interest in Chinese drama again. Before this I think the last Chinese drama that I watched is romance in the rain and meteor garden. Even though today people prefer to watch Korean drama, but i've always been a Chinese drama fans, prefer the Chinese actor than Korean actorFor me this love 020 a little been unrealistic, but still fun to watch. Unrealistic why? Because the main character a little bit too good to be true. Imagine they both is beautiful & handsome, charming, smart (in the game and in study), yet still feminine & so cool. I don't think gamer in real life not so much charming as Bei Wei Wei (BWW) and Xiao Nai (XN). The movie version, cast Angelababy, for me more suitable as gamer image than zheng shuang in the drama version.
I love this drama especially because the story is very light & not complicated at all. Their love from the start until the end is steady with not so much drama. If you search for the drama that are easy to watch this drama really suit your style then.
Captivated by XN smile when he first seen BWW playing the game. He is like saying i finally find my girl... That smile really enchanting. And the way XN see BWW each time really makes me jealous....
Loved scene: where XN come over to BWW in the basket ball games. When XN friend find out who is BWW is. And when XN confront Cao Guang when he mistook BWW with Er Xi.
The most funny scene: When XN parent visit his house there is BWW in his house with the luggage and XN succeed make BWW send by his parent to school and the whole school talk about how BWW send to school by her in law to be. So funny... ^.^
Re-watch value: Love to re-watch. Already re-watch for several times.
Music: really love all the music. Very easy listening.
Overall: Either you'll love or hate this drama. Me myself really captivated by yang-yang smile. Maybe if not yang-yang who played XN i'll not gonna really enjoy watch this drama :p. This drama also makes me start love and search yang-yang other drama

Watching a few episodes of this drama won't help you decide whether it is a good drama or not.
The drama was great. As soon as I heard that this drama involved video games I'm just like "NOO! I am not watching it", but then my friend encouraged me to watch it once, and it was absolutely AMAZING. yes, there were some scenes in which the characters were playing a game. In the game, it's rather boring, but outside of the game, in drama, everything is like wooo. Yangyang's(Xiao Nai) chemistry with the female lead(Bei Wei Wei) is ten out of ten. I really enjoyed this drama. In this drama, Yangyang is really so handsome.CAST:-
Beautiful chemistry exists between the female lead and the male lead (Xiao Nai & Bei Wei Wei). One of the main characteristics of the drama is the cute and funny friends of Xiao Nai.
Overall, it is a very good drama. Whether you're in doubt about watching or not, go ahead and watch. BUT I only want to remind you "DO NOT DECIDE AFTER FEW EPISODES". It would be best for you to watch the entire drama. So, yeah I guess that's it...................
HAPPY WATCHING !!!!.

What have I watched?
Normally I like such sort of Chinese dramas, but this is like I have seen a show of the 1950s or so.In episode 20, I almost fell off my chair. When he leaves the apartment, Xiao Nai says that Bei Wei Wei could clean the kitchen. And Wei Wei doesn't say anything about it and do that. What century are we living in? And another question, how old are the characters in this series? Early 20s? Why is Er-Xi so childish? Can't she speak and act normally? And Wei Wei mutates into an obedient mistress. And yea, the kissing scenes have already been mentioned several times. I agree, they weren't very good.
I watched the series in fast forward, as it can only be seen until November 8th. And that was a good thing.

Cute love story but......
I discovered this series after finishing Go Go Squid (amazing drama). I was intrigued with gaming/computer themes as it’s a bit different than my usual fantasy shows that I like to watch.Acting: 7
The male lead Xiao Nai (Yang Yang} was amazing. I loved his acting so much. He alone carried the show tbh. It’s really sad that I didn’t feel any chemistry between him and the female lead Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang). As for Zheng Shuang, she was so great with her scenes with the other actors/actresses but she was so stiff with Yang Yang it was hard to watch. Also, she’s so thin it was concerning watching her tbh. People think she’s dealing with anorexia which isn’t a farfetched speculation.
Music: 5
Not that great but acceptable.
Rewatch value: 0
I don’t think I’ll watch it again. Once is enough for me

As for FL .... SHE DID WELL....

Great lighthearted story with good romance and real friendship. Great comedy moments as well!
The story and premise was refreshing and something you have not seen before. The leads were married in the game and the transition to real life was seamless. Fast pacing and you do not have to wait until the end of the series for them to get together. They have a great chemistry and have beautiful, adorable scenes together. They actually get together early on and it is nice to see it is not messy and they are genuinely just gushing over each other. There were thankfully not a lot of melodrama and it's just a nice lighthearted story. Not really any triangles as the leads are only interested in each other although they do have people that have crushes on them. No BS break-ups either. They even joke about normal dramas and how the leads never get together easy and always break-up LOL. The friendship was also amazing and the interactions between the brothers were hilarious. There were so many good moments. The FL will not let anyone criticize or hurt her friends/BF and she has such good moments defending them. The leads are so trusting of each other and make sure to not do anything that would hurt the other's feelings. In K-dramas you have the FL flirting with another guy even with a relationship, while here the FL is very respectful to her BF and vice-versa. In the end the antagonist tries to send a meaningful goodbye message to FL and the ML reads it with her and the ML is the one to respond back. It is a small gesture but it shows that the FL does not even want to message another dude back lol. Not like it matters but it was refreshing to see.The one thing i did not like was the side character with glasses. He is someone with literally no relation to the FL until he tried to frame her for being a slut for going into a luxury car. He has the nerve to act like the FL belongs to him. She literally showed him no affection and even told him to get lost, but he has the nerve to basically call her a slut again when the FL and ML get in a relationship. He is the one that stalked the FL and mistook her in-game character for someone else and made up a weird fantasy in his head. Complete weirdo and I did not think it was right for him to have as much screen time as he did; nor any sort of redemption. I loved how the FL met with him on episode 20 and shut his ass down after she found out though. She straight up told him he is a weirdo and bad guy and does not want anything to do with him and she said "I dont want to repeatedly waste my time clearing your world view" because he is literally nothing to her and she is just a nice person. She also straight up told him he makes weird assumptions and she does not even want to spend another minute thinking about him because he has a completely distorted, perverted mindset. He based all his misunderstanding by stalking her getting her account username and even when faced with the truth he has the nerve to say "impossible".
I guess some people did not like the kissing scenes but i don't really care about that as much as i care about the actual characters themselves. It was so adorable seeing the FL's inner monologue as she gushes over the ML and the ML acting like a complete gentlemen.
