Firstly, the cast. Thumbs up to the director who had cast Zheng Shuang and Yang Yang for this drama. I knew Zheng Shuang from this drama, and although some people say she may not be the right person for this role as she's too skiny, I think she's the perfect fit. In terms of portraying her character, I think she did a marvelous job. Yang Yang did well in acting Xiao Nai, the high and mighty male lead with a cool personality. It was extremely cute to see Zheng Shuang conversing with Yang Yang, especially when Zheng Shuang acts shy in the drama.
Secondly, the plot. The game part of the show was the only reason why I decided to give this show a go, since I do not know anything about the cast then. I find the game element was well incorporated into the show, as it developed the story well (bring the male and female lead together).
Thirdly, the music. The opening was memorable. It really fit the school-themed drama and the romance between two youths (the leads).
On a final note, I will like to add that it is definitely worth rewatching as I have re-watched twice already.
Even if you have read the chinese manhua or have watched the movie already, you should definitely give this a try!

Lovely & Simple College Fantasy First Love Romance
Rewatched this again after I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch that's new & decided to write a review. Since this was my gateway cdrama years ago, it holds a special place in my heart but the things I remember being bothered with the first time around were more part of the fun rediscovery of the story this time around. I say this because you could be watching this the first time with similar eyes to mine. ;pThe first time around, I was constantly annoyed with the FL for any number of reasons. She's really uptight but it grows on you. She's also demure to the point of you realizing it must be some kind of cultural statement to create a FL like that. I mean, comparing her in the match to Xiao Nai would indicate that she holds some standard of perfection, right? (I kept wanting to be annoyed that they were both supposed to be gods and goddesses of the school but the teenage girl fantasy stuff was VERY strong with this one, so I let it go. Her friends only harassed about her looks occasionally but the level of attention the ML was on was just unbelievable.) The music w/the slo mo...niiiice. ;) Let's just say I liked her more knowing beforehand that she was going to reveal 75% of her character in via internal dialogue and that she was a crappy kisser. S'okay cuz Yang Yang made it up for her in those parts! :) I didn't fall for the ML until about 25% of the way in because he was also reticent and conveyed most of his emotions in subtle eyebrow movements. Again, it was much more fun on the rewatch to see it so early on; the first time, he appeared more deadpan to me because he doesn't show too much emotion early on. Once he began pursuing the FL outside the game, he had me! He started smiling more and they started smiling more and oh, it was a super sweet sticky icky love fest, lol. Also, the way he pursues her is straight-up fantasy fun and my favorite kind of ML-- one who knows what he wants and decides to go after it with determination and resolve. It's super hot!
T he video game element was weird to me the first time as well but I'm 100% okay with it now! I've gotten into Wuxia & martial arts style cdramas since then, so thought the incorporation of the game world was really fun. It was also SUPER fun seeing the boys in their game roles again. They were one of my favorite parts of this show. (It's also been fun to see so many of the actors in dramas since then, as each has continued to have a successful career!) Each of their personalities were perfect for being friends and business partners together--yes, it pulled away from the romance a bit but only a little bit, okay?! While her relationship with her friends was much stronger in the earlier parts of the drama, his kept going on throughout. I enjoyed her relationship with them as "one of the guys" and their lunch dates outside the office, though .
OST is pretty great, too! :D. Some of these songs so easily get stuck in my head!!!

Watched it just for Yang Yang
Thus is a perfect reason why I don't like watching dramas (Chinese or Korean) before 2019. They usually have tropes that I'm not the biggest fan off 🥲PROS:
◇Yang Yang
◇Yang Yang
◇Yang Yang
CONS:
◇Acting was awkward at times, especially with hugs & kisses
◇THE CGI LOOKED OLDER THEN 2016 (more like Spy Kids 🙈)
◇So corny at times
◇The plot was okay
I can see how it can be a comfort watch to some, but sadly, it's not for me. I also watched this in 2023 and not when aired. Honestly, I picked it up just for Yang Yang & wanting to watch all his projects.

The main cast of "power couple" where the guy live up to the expectations with a dark side and they actually acknowledge the female lead is beautiful, I was very satisfied.
Watching this is like the fresh breather I needed.
rating: 11/10

This review may contain spoilers
Never have I binge-watched a show so fast before Love O2O. And its been a long time since I found a show with literally every minute of fun. The plot was extremely interesting and so filled with laughter, I couldn't even bring myself to miss any second of the show. The scenes are shot so beautifully, you will be amazed. Furthermore, I found the virtual world so fun that it makes me want to play it too! The scenes in the virtual world are beautiful too, well although man-made, it really looked like a scene from a game. Furthermore, having a school-based plot, it made the show so young and vibrant. Furthermore, I find myself sucked into the plot where you laugh and cry with the characters and seem to 'live' in the show as well. I also liked how the game characters are made more 'virtual' where they had bigger eyes and such that you will be able to tell the difference in looks between the online and offline dimension. I also really liked all the side characters like the dorm buddies! Especially the guy buddies, they brought the show so much fun with their very close friendship. And I think one very important point that made the drama SO GOOD is definitely all the quirky and memorable lines spoken in the show.
Acting wise, YangYang was BRILLIANT (I do not only mean his extreme good looks). He really brought Xiao Nai to life with his facial expressions. Regardless what emotions he was acting, he expressed it so well with also his body language, and it feels so natural that he literally IS Xiao Nai. Furthermore, looks wise, HE IS SO GOOD LOOKING that even in the last final episode, he still blew me away with his smiles. Next, Zheng Shuang kinda surprised me. Having watched several of her previous dramas, she definitely did not impress me with her acting. However, she have improved quite alot in this drama with her expressions and body language. (Although some of her scenes especially kissing ones still looked really stiff. And though some of her clothing made her look skinny, it didn't really affect me much, still pretty. The rest of the other buddies like ErXi and the guys also made the show really fun and both looks wise and acting wise are amazing and you can really feel the love for one another. :)
Next, I really liked the music! Both the start and end songs are sooooo good (the side songs are good too). And knowing that YangYang sang one of them brought more feels when its played in the show. It made the emotional scenes so teary and the sweet scenes so sweet you will realize yourself unconsciously smiling.
Lastly, I WILL DEFINITELY REWATCH THE SHOW. Having watched the two other Gu Man dramas and her books, she won me over hands down and got me anticipating this for more than a year. Her stories always tend to tug your heartstrings in so many different ways. I have not read this book yet to prevent spoilers so I cant determine how similar isit but i can guarantee you her quality. So hope this helped make your decision in watch this TRULY REALLY GREAT DRAMA.
