Error: Swipe Left for This One
I watched the first episode and ended up dropping it. It was so cringeworthy and distasteful. I expected something a bit different, but it just wasn’t for me. The main character, Hill, has this bizarre relationship with Yuka, a game character from an app that’s supposed to help people, and it felt pathetic and completely unrelatable. Honestly, the guy seemed like he needed therapy, no offense.Then there’s Junji, the Japanese CEO, who’s like a tsundere: cold on the outside but somehow warm underneath. After seeing how sincere Hill was during the farewell party for Yuka! Love Me Please, and how the game character helped him improve his life, Junji decides to put things on hold for a year so Hill can come up with new designs and characters for another app.
This episode made me realize I don’t want to continue watching. The main character doesn’t seem to fit the role, and the acting is pretty weak. It’s all just way too over the top for me. The pacing is okay, but the plot and trailer made it look way more interesting than it actually was. Honestly, the first episode was lacking and pretty boring.
I tried watching the second episode. All I can say is that thank goodness I listened to my gut. The 2nd episode was terrible. I was constantly skipping just to finish it.
I was so uninvested, I might as well grab my tea and keep sipping it while I wait for something better to come along.

What I Liked
- a gaming setting
- that his coworkers were nice instead of the normal backbiting we've seen in workplace settings
- they showed the viewer why he is so attached
- in episode 2 that he rescued his boss
- odd how everyone was watching them like The Truman Show
- supportive friends
Room For Improvement
- the brief exposition dump was not needed
- overall it veered into a bit too cringey like him setting out the figuring at his very first work meeting and saying what he said
- nonsense, a company wouldn't let customers know officially with 6 days left???
- the boss should not have been coercive especially because he knew how much the character meant to him
- comedy sound effects didn't make things funny
- episode 8 love rival/jealousy stuff

One site doesn't even have a translation AT ALL. For the reason that I don't speak Thai and I don't understand anything score - 1!
Let me mention, it was the same with the first episode, but somehow it "passed".
I can't judge the acting or the director myself, the story probably has its own flow, but without translation ... like a calf in a colorful door
