Everyone Loves Me – She Loved First, but He Loved Harder
She loved first, but he loved harder—and desperately!This was such a fun, easy watch. It starts with the FL having feelings first, but the real twist comes when the ML discovers that the girl he rejected is actually his longtime online crush. From that moment on, the tables turn, and the pursuer becomes the pursued. Watching him go from indifferent to absolutely smitten was so entertaining.
It reminded me a lot of Love O2O with its online gaming premise, so if you enjoyed Yang Yang’s legendary drama, there’s a good chance you’ll like this one too!

A Lighthearted Laugh Fest with a Side of Silly Circles
Everybody Loves Me offers a delightful romp into the realm of romantic comedies, perfectly suited for viewers seeking a lighthearted escape without the need for deep analysis. This drama hits the sweet spot if you're in the mood for a hearty laugh. That said, the plot does tend to wander a bit, looping around in circles which may leave you scratching your head over some of the less sensible developments. But if it's fun and chuckles you're after, these quirks are easily overlooked in favour of the overall entertainment value.Was this review helpful to you?

I loved it and didn't love it at the same time
I was really liking the drama till the fourteen or fifteenth episode, when I checked the reviews for fun, they weren't very nice to look at and I thought perhaps there was something missing. But I realized in the end that while this was really fun to watch and I squealed so many times and laughed a lot, there were a few things missing. I'm hoping there's another season so that the storyline actually resolves itself.So first things first : what I liked about this drama:
The visuals, if it were someone else I don't think I would be able to watch those 'naive' girl scenes.
The characters were really fun to watch and I loved the leads' personalities.
The first fifteen episodes were so adorable and I did relate a lot to them.
The fact that Yue cursed out Gu Xan during the games but tried to impress him during the days made me laugh a lot, so their interactions were enjoyable.
There are a lot of different things I enjoyed along with this.
Now the cons.
Like I mentioned before, I thought people must have missed something while watching, but as I watched the later episodes I realized the problem.
Netflix mentioned a lot of scenes which didn't really happen, like the wedding or the dates, so I was kind of disappointed.
The gaming part disappeared midway and while it wasn't noticeable i would have like to see it more often, the puppy went missing too.
The entire drama was more revolving around the work life of the leads and the initial fight stretched out quite a bit.
I think that's what was off putting about this along with how late the main leads get together and I don't really mind that since I've seen a lot of dramas like that but the fact that there weren't a lot of actual dates we could see really saddened me.
In conclusion I think that you should go for it regardless, I've given it a nine despite all of this because I really though the plot while not extra ordinary was sweet and simple.

Light and fun
I don't usually watch C-dramas and I just randomly saw the title as I was browsing in Netflix. Intrigued as I had zero idea about the cast, I find that the leads have a great chemistry, the push-pull factor and the comic scenes in between were fun to watch, however, like the other reviews, it was lacking in the fluff and romantic side when the leads are finally together. Cannot believe that their first kiss scene (a peck, to say the least) happened in ep 20. Other scenes could've done better, especially the anticipation on how they will officially launch themselves as a couple in their company, among others, but those scenes were cut short, or at least not given the chance to build on.OST is great and though some scenes and even the plot itself is predictable, at least this show has no annoying character who got much of the screen time or extends the conflict. The second pair has a balanced exposure with the main leads and no annoying backstory either. Though the ending feels a bit rush, wishing I would've seen the leads playing and promoting their own game.

Good enough to watch, but not «standout»
So this was a nice watch, but it wasn’t really anything special or standout about it.Quite lighthearted, with some charm and humour.
FL was good, and I liked her character when she was her true self, with loud outbursts and scoldings.
ML was also quite good - I just sometimes felt he appeared more as a goofy puppy that could trip in his own legs, than a successful young director, lol.
As for the topic this series is portraying, the gaming industry, it falls a bit into the «slightly bragging, nationalistic» bucket, although it is not as strong about it as some other dramas.
Brief synopsis from my POV:
FL gathers her courage and confesses her love to fellow graduating student on graduation day. He brutally rejects her, as he is in love with his female online gamer-friend, who is though and ruthless. FL and ML end up working in the same company, and gradually grows closer, although she keeps him at an arm’s length due the previous rejection. He then finds out her true identity, and strongly regrets his brutal rejection of her. Can he draw her close again, and how will she react when/if she learns his online identity?
At the same time there are of course some business hardships to overcome.

not a bad drama to watch
honestly watching this just bcs of the casts, for some time like on episode 19/20ish i feel like i want to drop it but i keep telling myself it's not a bad drama, it's "okay" to watch. honestly i would rewatch this just for the first few episodes. it's basically just a normal rom-com, but with zhou ye as the FL. a very see-able story line that i could predict miles away. Would recommend other zhou ye's modern dramas beside this 1, such as love me love my voice. But yeah overall not really a bad drama if you're looking for something sweet, funny, light and bright.Was this review helpful to you?
Even a good plot can get dragged around
When I started this drama, it was going well. The first 7 episodes were really fast-paced and captivating. The hidden circumstances and the FL making the moves and the ML who has eyes only on the FL's hidden ID. They were so close but then again so far. Even the second couple also, they were so fluffy.The drama made sure that nothing was truly hidden. Just fogged up in the scenario. It's not even a misunderstanding. It just happens and I genuinely loved that idea. It wasn't cliche and it was new.
But then writers decided that such an original play was too much and added the agendas that popped the balloon. i dont want to spoil but elements like the unnecessary SML, making the FL immature and foregoing issues.
I get it. Its a drama. Its supposed to be draggy and cliche but when the fast-paced drama decides to take a turn, its not a good feeling. It was going a 10 but suddenly something changed and its still good but not the same.
The acting was good. Its great that they could pull a lot of hilarious scripts. Like the lion dancing scene. Couldnt keep a straight face. I could watch most of the drama cause the visuals were great. (Sorry for being vain)
The second couple however delivered. Through thick and thin, they were amazing. Not much jealous and cute.

This is a first for me....
This drama sadly I had to drop....This is a first for me dropping a drama with a rating of 7/10....
Reason I gave this a 7 is because the acting by the 2 main leads 'Zhou Ye & Lin Yi' was actually better than good, been excellent..... However sadly there is limitations to excellent.... Storyline pretty boring, bland, simple.... Support actors really not that great....
There is only so much that 2 main leads can carry this drama,... The romance angle relied to much on comedic repetition and when surrounded by the limitations I have mentioned that's when had to say dropping this drama at EP9....
Overall still very impressed with Zhou Ye & Lin Yi, felt chemistry between the two was very very good. Hope to see these 2 again soon in a better well grounded script & more experienced support cast.... Potential for these 2 together is there....

It definitely had potential. Key word is HAD : (
Zhou Ye was experimenting here with a new type of personality for her, and she definitely pulled it off. The outfits and set were cute. The romance could've been cute. The script was not, throwing all potential this could've had into the gutter.Like every other comment here, the whole thing ended before anything actually started. You get some 18 episodes of bickering, weird coincidences, and basically nothing else? It's interesting to see though, because this drama seemed like it aimed for the no-love-triangles and no-weird-breakups trope which I actually appreciate. I guess it was a good effort, but it also proves that conforming to stereotypes and following the trends don't actually make for good works sometimes : (
That being said, if you love Zhou Ye and Lin Yi, you might give this a try. The first few episodes are funny and fine. In fact, I probably enjoyed them. That's my two cents : )
(Review written 4/11/24 and published 5/30/24)
In case I ever edit this which I probably won't

IS THIS EVEN A DRAMA?
OMG I SWEAR I WAS SO SO SO SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS DRAMA. LIKE I won't spoil TOO MUCH, but she acted all cringey at the beginning just to get him, being completely different from her actual self. YOU DONT KNOW HOW CRINGE IT WAS UNTIL U WATCH IT. AND THEY LITERALLY STARTED DATING SUPER DUPER LATE, AND WHEN THEY DID, THINGS WERE STILL AWKWARD BETWEEN THEM, AND THEY WOULDN'T TALK OPENLY ABOUT ANYTHING. THE FACT THAT THERE WERE ONLY 3 KISS SCENES AND THEY JUST.. OMG I SRSLY HATE THIS DRAMA. I EXPECTED BETTER FROM LIN YI, AND I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS DRAMA TO ANYONE. DO NOT WASTE UR TIME.Was this review helpful to you?
once again cringe with nothing new in storyline ...
i love zhou ye so much in word of honor and back from the brink but her last drama love me love my voice and now this are both very disappointing for me ... same goes for lin yi , i love all of his dramas but this one is out of range for me ...story is totally duplicate from Love 020 and love scenary but in such a bad manner that i can't even imagaine ... where FL harms her own image for a boy , Arrogant and rude ML who for his online crush rejects the FL in front of whole campus shamelessly ...
Can't we have a drama which requires character development before their relationship ... why recently there are so many romcoms where Leads started dating even before they knew each other ... i still believes in mature relationship not some kind of online crush ...
even the office stuff is so boring that i am just skipping continuously ... and on top of that their is that secretary of SML which is really boring as a character ... i do not know about others but i did not even like their gaming stuff ...
i am quite liking their chatting scenes but now he is using her chats to see her privacy which is more than disappointing for me ..
till ep 10 , i do not think there is anything interesting which makes my mind to keep watching ...
someone said right that there is no sparks between both our leads ...
Wish both of them had selected a good script ...
i am dropping this because his new drama coming from today and its storyline is far better than this ...
