Everyone Loves Me

Super cute, fluffy & funny. The show had potential but it flopped in my opinion.

The show had so much potential but they prolonged the romance between the two leads until almost near the very end of the series. I got bored waiting for the leads to show progression within their relationship. I like slow burns if it's done correctly but halfway through the series the two leads characters weren't showing any sign of advancing from their cat-and-mouse game. It was cute at first when they didn't know they knew each other irl and then almost finding out they did know each after all, it was so painful after they did find out they knew each other but kept prolonging the development of the romance between them. Even the 2nd leads got it worse especially when they introduced a love triangle I wanted to smash my head in. They just added too many plots in the show cold male turns to he's nice, multiple love stories, stalker, mean bosses, frenemies, love hate relationship, multiple love triangles I thought it was never gonna stop, mother trying to marry off her daughter/nosey mother & they kept adding so much drama once one was finished which didn't last long they would add more not allowing the characters to develop in their romance. Hidden office romance, jealous coworkers who steal just remembered more. I wish they would have laid back on so many plots. I did enjoy seeing how people love video games now and it's for both genders and how people like different gaming styles, also showing girls can be badass gamers and develop games.

rework of Lin Yin's Live Scenary but in a little bit better way.

let me just say it's a good drama and the main reason why i watched is main actress who is my the most favourite actress in this year after Yang Zi and Bai Lu, she has a potential to do even more great dramas as a Lusy
i think noone would know which project will be successful,
I know that Lin Yin is just so innocent i don't feel insane gaze like ( lin ying ( amidst of snowstorm)) not even sexy like Cheng Zhuyan or Xu Kai
just waste of time and good way to kill boredom
for people like me it'll be just toy after seeing great works😅😂😂
( i knew I'm not good writer even though I've 7 from writing IELTS)
watching drama is joy of my life and now I'm learning both Chinese and Korean 😜😜💙💜

Turns annoying very quickly

It started ok, but quickly turned into a stream of annoying events. The male lead is very manipulative and pushy for a big part of the show. First he tries to make his "online friend" fail in getting a guy and then when he finds out he knows her IRL he starts being very pushy and stalkery. The female lead starts relatively ok, i like her bossy attitude at times but then when it comes to male lead she just forgets how terrible he was and melts on sight. The game company setting could be interesting but its very simplified and feels mostly like somebody stitched together some ideas on what game company looks like, it was very distracting seeing all the nonsense that became part of it. Had to skip through most of the last 6 episodes. Honestly instead of 24 episodes 16-18 would have sufficed.

SLOW COOKER ROMANCE!!!

I can say that I was a little fed up after watching this drama. This drama is cute and frustrating at the same time.... Like the male lead likes the online version of the female lead , while not liking the female lead in real life lol Then the female lead is googahgah over the male lead in real life. It's literally a game of mouse and cat chase, they literally missed each other by little bit each time and they always has misunderstanding/ miscommunication.

Male lead is a lead in a gaming company trying to produce a type of game called 3A ( not really sure what it stands for) Female lead works in the company on the opposite team as a designer/artist. She has a crush on the male lead, but the male lead doesnt have too good feelings for her. They both play this online shooting game. The male leads has a crush on the online female lead. For the longest time he didnt figure it out, up to when the female lead finally musters the courage to confess that she likes him. She gets rejected by the male lead.

The story then revolves around how the male lead is trying to make it uo to the female lead and trying to apologize .

Like so many miunderstanding and lack of communication... like the male lead suggested for the female lead to act very cutesy and lady like, but when it fact in real life he hates that type of girl. The male lead is literally stone cold and no response until he figures out the online person is the female lead, then her does everything to try to make it up to her... This is why they get together so late. They have good chemistry but way too little screen time romance. Their relationship literally slow cooks so it seems really real and convincing.

Writer and directors clearly don't know anything about game development

I don't often write reviews but I feel like this drama annoyed me enough to do so. As someone who works in the gaming industry, I love media that portrays video games and/or the industry. However, here is where my biggest issue comes into play.
None of the plot makes any sense if you know even the littlest bit about the industry.

First of all, them wanting to make an "AAA game": AAA refers to the size of the company working on it and the (usually big) budget that goes into them. That's all there is to it. If they had been working for that enemy company, they could have been working on an AAA title considering it sounds like an international level company throughout the story - it would depend on the budget they'd get. But throughout the whole story, they did not work on an AAA title but act like they do. Why do people write about things they have no idea about, or don't at least do a quick google search....

My next issue is that I think that I'm over this type of male lead. The guy had pretty much no redeeming qualities to him. He was disinterested and often nasty to most people. Even after finding out that he messed up and turned down the girl he likes, his behaviour doesn't make up for the hours of mean behaviour. The female lead feels like a doormat and just let the dude walk all over her feelings and his behaviour was never addressed at all. Maybe I'm getting too old but I'm so tired of shows glorifying toxic characters.

Starts off good but gets Anticlimactic

I really enjoyed the first half of this drama. The love square of Qian Ling liking Gu Xun while he likes her online persona was excellent. I loved that he was inadvertently sabotaging their potential relationship by giving the online Qian Ling bad advice for pursuing her real-life crush, and thereby creating his own monster when her antics annoyed him. He was a bit harsh to her but I loved that he was making his own bed and when the karma hit him, it was glorious. But things started to drag as he attempted to win her forgiveness - too much PPL and not enough sincerity. The confession and kiss scenes were anticlimactic and the final few episodes felt rushed.

started off really well but became flat way too fast

I don’t want to write a long review so I will just state the main points (just finished it, thought I found a gem but ended up wasting my time)

✅ lots of expectations at the beginning because it started off really well and the editing was great
✅ the female lead personality at the beginning was promising (real one, not the cutesy whatever that was)
✅ the video game immersion was interesting (I loved it in Love Scenery) at the beginning only
✅ second lead couple is cute
✅ I love Lin Yi’s acting usually (I have to put that here cause I ain’t got any other good point to state for the positive side)

❌ no chemistry between the leads
❌ no romance, completely missed the romcom part
❌ the editing after the first 6-7 episodes makes no sense, they make you expect something but completely ruin it and goes straight to the next day for some reason ?
❌ the female lead was okay at first but gradually becomes unbearable and very toxic, I was very disappointed about that because I related to her at the beginning
❌ the plot becomes super flat, anything and nothing happen it’s very blurry
❌ no time to actually care about anything
❌ editing, directing AND scriptwriting could have been much better, it got so bad towards the end that it was painful to watch
❌ just what the actual hell was the part with the parents meeting ???????? like, what ??? felt like a fever dream
❌ the ending was complete garbage to be honest, it was rushed and not satisfying at all

yeah so my final advice would be, if you are genuinely extremely bored, why not ? 🤓

but if you are looking for a really good drama with a great plot, good chemistry, satisfying editing and characters, and most of all, ACTUAL romantic scenes and relationship development

don’t waste your time 🤗

here are some recommendations to watch instead :
- Love Scenery (with Lin Yi but much MUCH better)
- Hidden Love (if you’ve been into drama for a while you probably already watch it)
- The Romance Of Tiger And Rose (my guilty pleasure, Zhao Lusi will entertain you all the way and the plot is innovative as well)
- Till The End Of The Moon (Luo Yunxi and Bailu’s chemistry is excellent and the overall plot got me on a chokehold all the way through)

thank you for reading this and have a great time watching dramas :)

Beautiful story of slow romance

This drama catches my attention so much. When I started to watched, I thought it will be boring, long and with full of painful tears. But NOOO. This drama of 24 episodes was so fluid, so easy, so nice, with amazing emotional growth. Chinese drama really surprised me in positive way.
I recommend this drama to everyone, because 24 episodes will flow immediately and with nice Characters This story is getting really interesting plot. The funny thing is in this drama there is no real drama like in many drama we use to watch. There is no unnecessary tears there’s no fighting there’s no emotional breakdowns. It’s really smooth and it’s really adorable.

Good rom-com with charming leads having strong chemistry

Overall, it's a nice, sweet rom-com, especially enjoyable when binge-watched. Zhou Ye and Lin Yi's strong chemistry was a pleasant surprise for me; I didn't expect it when I started the drama. Episodes 1-6 might not be everyone's cup of tea. Despite my dislike for the FL chasing ML storyline, having read the web novel, I enjoyed the initial parts, and Zhou Ye did a really good job. The series becomes really enjoyable from Episode 7 onwards. I appreciated that they didn't rush into the dating part; I dislike when dramas skip the buffer period and have the leads jump into each other's arms once any misunderstanding is resolved. That being said, I also enjoyed the pre-dating era because Lin Yi and Zhou Ye exude tension between GX and YQL perfectly. Their dating phase was sweet, intertwined with their work-related problems.

I didn't like that they omitted GX's parents' divorce and how it affected his life. It was a major part of the novel and kind of shaped his character.

They could've inserted more romantic scenes from Episodes 20-24. I liked the dynamics between YQL's parents and GX; it was so cute. However, Xin Yi and Junnan deserved more screen time; their scenes felt rushed and frustrating to watch. They could have removed the Feng RuRu subplot and dedicated that time to explore JJN's feelings about XY. Sorry, but the writing made me feel like my girl Xin Yi deserved better.

So even if it's not your perfect drama, it's a really easy watch, and you'll actually enjoy the characters because their only purpose in life is not just to fall in love! Such leads, especially FLs, are rarely found in the romantic Cdrama world.
