I'm very disappointed in this drama to be honest. It was honestly an e-sports drama to begin in the beginning and it was honestly not that good. There were literally so many coincidence in the show that made me very mad, like there's honestly no way that someone is that lucky. I also didn't understand why Liang Cheng was trying to learn to play video games in the beginning. Also I literally didn't care about the video game part. Literally in the beginning of the show, it kept showing us the scene inside the video game and it made me very upset because I honestly felt like it was wasting my time, and there was no point of even adding those scenes in there because whether you watch it or not it doesn't affect the story at all.. If those scenes weren't in there the show would probably be cut down to like 25 episodes.My other biggest problem is the fact that Liang Chen is a celebrity, however it's like she is purposely trying to get the paparazzi's attention by not wearing a mask or sunglasses to certain places. I don't think it was the actresses fault but maybe more of the crew and the setup of the drama. Also it's not possible for someone to fall in love with an online friend, especially since he doesn't know who is on the other side, and when the two of them finally meet, it's like love is in the air. Lu Jing's side makes sense since who wouldn't love their favorite celebrity, however how did Liang Chen fall in love with Lu Jing when she never even met him excpet online, that called she likes him based on his looks. They literally never hung out and it made me really mad.
Also what is up with Lu Jing's friends, when your friend is dating a celebrity the first ting you do is ask Lu Jing why he never told you that he was dating a celebrity, instead there reaction was to start praising Lu Jing. The show really disappointed me, however the acting was good and their love scences were cite and sweet.

Chemistry is off the charts
This drama has a slow start. It’s still enjoyable but it doesn’t get 10 stars good until after episode 10 when the leads meet in real life. The chemistry is off the the charts. The kiss and love scenes are some of the best I have seen in a C-drama! This drama is up there with love o2o and you are my glory for best gaming related rom coms of all time. A healthy love story with communication and understanding is on display. There are so many laugh out loud moments!I have a few minor complaints
The secondary male love interest was way too old for me to take him seriously. He’s a gorgeous man but he’s 50 years old while the female lead is in her early 20s … and he’s her superior in the music industry…. This just gave me bad vibes.
Next there is a depressed supporting character. Honestly i started fast forwarding through all her scenes.

Cute Heartwarming Drama
Overall I really enjoyed this drama. It is very cute and I loved the music. I will say it was a bit of an agonizing, nail bitting wait for them to realize who their online partners were.The only reason why I didn't score it higher was purely due to some plot holes. I really wanted to see more happen between Liang Chen and Meng Lan Zhi. They pitted the two against each other in the very start of the drama. Meng Lan Zhi caused a lot of issues for Liang Chen (one which almost made the main couple not date)and yet after the TV battle (which ended with a rather reasonable acceptance of defeat) she is never mentioned again. Liang Chen's ex was an even scarcer blip in the plot.
Another plot hole, and arguably the biggest one, was the whole relationship between Ma Shen Shen and Lin Qi (her ex). We learned that Lin Qi pretty much stole a song from Ma Shen Shen that made him big, yet we only saw him once when he was offering a song to Liang Chen for the show. Ma Shen Shen never confronted him and nothing happened with the stolen song (which Sun Bin Yu had video evidence that it was stolen).
I am also a little disappointed that I didn't get to see Liang Chen meet Lu Jing's mother (though that wasn't that big of a deal).
Like I said, overall this is still a really good, fun and heartwarming romance drama. I highly recommend it and would definitely watch it again.

this is a cliche romcom that depends on tastes
first off this drama is ok.. its not great.. it paints by the number but there are good to great things in here depending on ppls taste...music.. i prefer the rock mix of the songs.. and many of the songs are good to great.. so its nice.. some ppl may not like it.. cause well it is an acquired taste.. and it does repeat often.. i mean a lot.. but.. for me that works..
story.. i think the ml/fl lead story is nice.. the teases.. the missed opportunities.. feels like a slow burn love drama.. the anticipation.. i love those.. so it works for me.. what doesnt is how the ml is the god of everything.. but eh.. that is par for these types of cliche.. the fl is strong if but airheaded.. which works for her character
the 2nd couple is more interesting and i wish they fleshed them out more.. theres enough clue to figure out the hurt of the 2nd fl but damn.. something more concrete and what a weird finish.. they just dropped the true ending for the 2nd fl character..
i for one want closure dang it.. :)
the chemistry is ok.. its like pulling teeth to merge the 2 stories together.. it worked barely.. but eh..
the roommates were key in killing the rest of the time and making it much more bearable cause there were only so many situations.. they can put both sets of leads in before it gets too silly..
overall its an ok story.. great music .. if ur into it.. chemistry was good

A decent watch for the romance genre
I will keep this review simple and explain what i liked about this drama and what brought down my personal rating to 8/10Pro's:
- good cinematography
- good chemistry between ML and FL
- good music / OST
- shut your brain and binge watch rom-com vibes
Con's:
- SML: i feel everyone can agree with me the casting decision for SML was terrible and was my only "makes it hard to watch factor"
- Character Background for ML : the promised big data genius in the description for this show was a let down the ML has good gaming skills and is somehow good in everything from big data to sports to violin. The violin and big data background made selective enterances and isn't a constant part of the show
- Character Background for FL : the FL playing video games was such a random addition to force a connection given her popularity in music. The supposed connection between ML and FL before FL's popularity plot point is brought up once but then forgotten.
- Well its a cliche and adds nothing new . But its a well executed cliche
I recommend just watch this drama for the romance and the pursuit without expecting anything and you will enjoy this drama.

Perfect
I have watched a lot of dramas but "Love Scenery is my top 1 at the moment.This drama is the best i have ever watched. I love the couple and their body chemistry is top notch. I wish i would find someone like Lu jing.
I pray i find love like this.
This drama is amazing.
So guys, watch this beautiful drama and you won't regret it.
Liang chen is a good singer , she has a beautiful voice and even when she's older than Lu jing, she was so humble and respected him. I love her . she is now my number fan.

Too good!!!
This was really good... I wasn’t a fan of the beginning but when I got into the drama it’s was amazingly good!!!!!! Funny!! Hot!! Cute!! It’s really worth it no too much drama. And if u don’t like love triangle this is the right one. But there was this one man though... he’s not a problem. I hate love triangles a lot so I picked this one. I thought it was a love triangle at first but anywayssss it was way too good and it was so straight forward! The songs are amazing omgg u have to watch this.Was this review helpful to you?

My favourite heart warming, feel good drama
I am more of a kdrama fan, but this show exceeded my expectations. Sweet rom-com. Both actors were so natural and had a great chemistry. No unwanted, unrealistic, fake drama and twists. Just a genuine story that gives an insights into a celebrity's life as well as the challenges of a younger male dating a star and discovering that type of world. The FL was beautifully portrayed as a strong, yet emotionally vulnerable woman, seeking a real love connection. The ML was realistically portrayed as a young fan who has the ability to see beyond the fantasy of stardom and loved and accepted the FL for everything she was, not just her public image. The ML personality was a mix of being young and daring, lacking experience, strong values and maturity was superb and very believable. The music was amazing throughout the series.Was this review helpful to you?
Best Drama ever with sweetest music
I fell in love with drama. It have a great story, many people are complaining that the drama have a unrealistic story but everyone knows that each drama have a unrealistic story only , there are very few drama which have realistic story and I feel bore in those. Overall the plot of drama is very good. And for music I want to give the drama 20 out of 10. Xu lu and Lin yi have a very good chemistry. I loved how Liang chen doesn't have a attitude in this drama.A gamer and a singer is a very good concept and I loved this.

Congratulations for a Beautiful story
Good job, production team and actors. It is a recognition of beautiful love, simple and so strong. I have such a strong love from high school till now when I am 40, with my husband and I really appreciated this movie which looks such alike. And this movie is for all, as everybody deserves love. Wish all to Love and be loved. Watch the movie even to remember, to dream for or encourage yourself.We need movies with stories like this because everything now is so complicated and we are living in such a hurry that we forget how to love properly. For youngers, please take this story as a refference, the movie is also about trust - well pointed. When there is love, please always have trust in yourself, your partnee and your love. This is my key in my life and this is why, aftet 23 years, we have a fairytale, ams a perfect love which last and will be forever.
Watch the movie and find your way of love.
For all: production - thank you for screening a simple, real-like love, for actors- good play, stay strong and have a happy life, just like the characters you are playing.

Fun and Simple
This drama is perfect if you want something simple to watch!! If you like dramas with a fully thought out complicated plot this is not for you!!As a drama consumer between watching dramas that are praised for their head scratching plot occasionally watching something simple helps and this is perfect for that!
The story is simple a gamer and an idol fall in love. While there are a lot of destiny moments that obviously don't make sense in real life it is still squeal worthy and i couldn't stop smiling.
The biggest 2 draw backs for me is the casting of the 2nd male lead. Like he is 50 years old while the main actress is only in her 20s so it definitely made me uncomfortable at times and that weird little redemption that they gave him almost made me throw up.
The music is definently great, but in dramas that star an idol singer that is kinda expected. I will definitely rewatch certain episodes, but most likely never from start to end again!
I have this listed at a 10 for me personally, but i would only recommend this to people that like cheesy dramas.
