The Spirealm

Alice in borderland is the first show that came to my mind while watching this.
-- Mc transmigrated on a parallel-different world
--needs to clear different stages / doors to be alive
-- organisations playing+ first timer players, pro players are playing.
-- Dying in that world means dying in reality.
-- violence, murders , monsters, fighting
-- smart mc with a kind heart.
-- playing together and with friends and getting a card/note after completing the door/stage. Everyone wants that card/note cause it gives clue about next stages..

I've been looking forward to this ever since I heard it would have a drama adaptation cause the novel is one of my favourite. I almost had a heart attack when I heard it was released ( for one hour). The drama did justice to the arcs and characters; the actors were perfectly cast and had great chemistry. However, they changed some things ( added some characters / removed some) and removed my favourite line, which made me a little upset. One thing I didn’t like was the change in the plot for the last doors. I was looking forward to seeing the plot twist from the novel, but because of censorship, they changed the concept to gaming, which also altered the plot twist. Nonetheless, the actors, actresses, and crew all did an excellent job. The songs were also great, and the script was very well done. I'm glad I lived long enough to watch this

Two world/time-explorers with their own motives, one experienced, the other new to it. Male-lead drama. Maybe hints of at least strong bromance in The Company (censored danmei in The Spirealm).

Good (unexpectedly good) production values. Pretty good ED song, nice OP, too.

Fantasy setting. Reset is a drama where main leads go back in time to prevent a problem while spirealm is of various worlds where main character solves and appeases.

- game and gaming
- nice, warm and welcoming main character
- greatly written side characters
- teamwork and friendship
- nicely done from visual perspective
- bromance (less/none romance in The King's Avatar)
Both dramas have this special splace in my heart, because they make me feel welcome and left me with pain, understanding, mixed feeling but also with regret of not watching it sooner. I enjoyed both dramas and as someone, who wathed The King's Avatar because they saw a bromance tag, but never get it from the show, I love it with my whole heart. I forgot about the romance part, the only thing that kept me going were the characters and the interesting view of the game itself. It makes me wanna live in it, feel it and also play it on my own, to just feel the excitement of the world that was created by these shows. I recommend both of thse shows, hope you'll enjoy it!!
