many plot holes
I love this drama, but for me this drama has a little too many plot holes that make me have to lower the score. I can't bring it to the 7⭐️, so I settle with 6.5⭐️. A little warning! I'll gonna write a spoiler. If you don't wanna know just skip reading my review then.The good point:
+ Lu Wan Wan (WW) & Han Jing Mo (JM) is a cute couple. Really love how JM stand up for WW, especially the confessing scene in the award ceremony, that's a lot of balls to pull to make such announcement at the big event, even bolder that he do it before consulting with his agent.
+ JM openness to WW's parent. Really admire him when he admits that he rather lose than cheating the chess game.
The plot holes:
- The confession scene between WW & JM feel like anti climatic. It just happen like that, like nothing important.
- The reveling of JM as Mo Bai Zhi Jian also feel like something amiss
- The difference in JM character. At first JM is like a little boy that really like to annoy the girl that he likes, but suddenly after he gets jealous he change to just a protector of WW.
- The weird connection to their childhood. Why not make it something bigger or more important, like JM look for this girl & so happy to find out that it's turn out to be WW. If don't want why don't just erase it at all. The childhood story feel like just a flash & unimportant part.
- Zhao Jing Hang (JH) feeling toward WW is never really clear. Is it love or is it just sibling love...? They always said it's only sibling love, but when WW & JM finally together we can see how sad JH is.
- JH & Guan Yi Wei relationship in the end is also never clear. I know they not the main focus, but is the relationship finally bloom or not we get the final result.
- The weird relationship between Lu Guang Han (GH) & Xia Lin Xi, they suddenly together without warning...
- The weird relationship between GH & Gu Qiao Bei (QB). If I must put a word into this it feels like GH is a weird stalker of QB. I never saw a man that more insist into recruit new actor to his firm as much as GH want to recruit QB. At one time GH make me feel like he's not only try to recruit QB as his actor but more of he tries to chase QB as his boyfriend. Haha...
- Is WW still a student or not...? I think she already graduate cause she never go into class or give clue that at least she's not graduate yet, but a little conversation from Zhao Jing Hang (JH) or Lu Guang Han (GH) (i forget who said it) indicate otherwise. I think she's not graduate yet, so why not she's in school...? Or if she only need to practice why don't we at least get to see the graduate scene in the end? Does she drop it in the end...? Very not clear.
Overall this actually quite good drama, with comedy & romance. But nothing feel amiss if you don't watch it...

Cute, Mindless Binge
This was a cute story, which hooked quite a few viewers - myself included - with its synopsis so similar to Love O2O. I have to say, a few elements were very similar, but it just didn’t live up to the hype (not that I am a huge fan of Love O2O, especially towards the end of it).The plot was… pretty badly executed, but the general idea was appreciated. A beloved actor and a newly debuted rookie, who were “married” in game. The female lead is really funny and her relationship with her brother was my favourite. However, the romantic scenes were very cringe-worthy, so mentally prepare yourself.
Overall, it had a good concept, and it’s worth a look if you’re bored but don’t want something intense.

ANNOYING FL
Never felt as much annoyed with a FL as much as I watched other series. She just irritates me. I don't know if her character is meant that way. Too me, she seems dense and shallow. Not my cup of tea. This could have been a potential. I'm only at episode 14 and I couldn't continue watching because of her character. I love the sibling dynamic though. The game scenes were also boring for me. They could have done better. I also didn't feel much of the chemistry between the leads. I love Bi Wen Jun from his other characters and series but in here, they don't seem to have chemistry.Was this review helpful to you?
