I got a cavity with so much sweetness
This show resonated with me for several reasons. Let's start with the romance; however short, it was earned, not given. Then there was the adorable performance by Zhou Ye as Que Yin. Half of her scenes I had a little smile on my face.Then there was the main aspect—the characters stayed within the context of the story. Even the relationship was formed within the story, as it should be. Some folks may be turned off by the gaming business aspect, along with the meetings and seeing the characters actually work and discuss developing a Triple A game. I found it interesting. There was a time for work, and there was a time to build a relationship. If you tune in expecting a full-on romance, this isn't it.
The story has romantic moments. But, it was sidebarred with LOL cat-and-mouse antics. In her defense, Que Yin (as overinfatuated as she was) tried so hard in the beginning to win Gu Xun's heart. IMOP, this brought on a few elements. It brought on some comic relief. Her ways, as cheesy as they were at times, brought out some character development moments. Sad, funny, and serious.
In the second half, it was Gu Xun's turn to step up. If Gu Xun had fallen to her charms very early, it wouldn't have been the same. The supporting cast was okay. The second couple was more of a rebound situation. The overall package of the series was good. All of those elements I mentioned kept me interested.
Yes, it would have been nice to see more of the main couple at the peak of their relationship. But IMOP if that happened at ep 2, where would the conflicts and struggles be? You would have to write a different story. Because their struggle to finally come together was a huge part of it.
