Why I deliberately watch the series after the rave died down
The drama was highly raved by netizens; as an avid k drama fan, I’ve never written reviews for Korean dramas (usually Chinese dramas) because I know that there are more people out there who watches Korean drama than mainland Chinese ones (not saying it’s bad)So to give my 2 cents, I must say I bawled my eyes out for more than 5 episodes (for sure) while watching this series; a happy ending for sure, like how “The King” ended. Initially I thought I would have dropped the series halfway like how I did for DOTS and Goblin ( because they are so highly raved) but I can’t stop due to the plot. chemistry between Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. Not to mention the supporting casts as well!
I laughed and cried well for this drama ~.~ it’s truly an amazing series to give up!

There’s that, we all know that we at times, would be able to pick up one or two values/ life lessons in the dramas we watch. This drama too; talks about how one should pursue and never give up on their dream. I really likeD how each character developed themselves, grow up, going through up and downs be it in university or when they’ve graduated. The love between FF and CC was tested due to the adulting phase they had to go through, but it was really a much needed breakup for them to grow (but to me it’s not considered a breakup tbh). I liked how they zoomed into the side characters as well, showing how life is; tough, but you will be able to overcome through perseverance and believe.
An awesome slice of life/romance/family drama to watch

Plot twist after plot twist after more twists
I thoroughly enjoyed this drama although i have to say that i started this drama for both the leads. Needless to say, their acting never failed me and i saw great improvement in CX's acting.I knew that 'Ming Hao' was a little sketchy at the start. This drama had a lot of the mystery element from the start and i like it cause I have been watching too much rom-com these days.Although I would like the amnesia part to be more delved into; it was a little too vague in my opinion.
The romance part of this drama bring out different emotions from me at different point of times, this proves that the story was well written and that the casts? DID AMAZINGLY WELL.

I thoroughly enjoyed it
I laughed and cried my eyes out throughout the drama.I would like to say it’s my first drama watching ZXD acting but I’m definitely not new to XZL so I know acting wouldn’t fail in this one. But ZXD too, didn’t let
mw down, I don’t know why I kept focusing on how expressive her eyes were (to the point where I see that she’s wearing contacts) like how every end on the episode they end with a “teaching” I think the drama heavily teaches us about love and life which many other dramas do too ( totally appreciate it); I think the casts all did very well!
The storyline was good, the episodes weren’t too rushed. And to those who said that the title can’t be related… friends you guys can tell that the ML/FL is pretty cute right? And they are programmers. Game programmers to be exact.
And yes, I saw many reviews saying Lu Li is a doormat. This i totally disagree with. She did it for love and dreams guys..( please watch it again) and tbh, it wasn’t even to the point where she’s a doormat (I don’t even feel so!) Some drama FL have it worse?!
But anyway, I was hoping the had a sort of epilogue cause I was totally looking forward for some after knowing she’s carrying (yknow what). But alls good! I’m happy with the drama and now I’m off to the next one! Cheers to less sleep!
Ps I think the OST is pretty cute too! They included programming words in the lyrics (does this tie to the titles now?)

A drama with great cast but
I really like ZYX and was pretty excited for this drama! However, after finishing the series I felt that it was a little lacking (definitely in terms of the screen time). It is good that there are different couples in a series but for this drama, the screen time for the main couple is very little..( I did skip quite a few bit while watching the series)Nonetheless, the music and story was good so I did enjoy the parts that I’ve watched (totally no regrets) And the fact that in this story, the FL has a strong woman character setup which I really like!

Light hearted and cute drama
A really pretty cute and lighthearted drama! The pace was okay. Definitely a good filler drama of your have extra time. There’s a slight second lead syndrome imo..The downside of this drama is the storyline wasn’t planned exceptionally well. Other than the great relationship that each of the family has, I feel that some
of the characters are not developed as well which is kind of a pity.
Although it’s a happy ending, I felt that it isn’t “enough” . Then again, I did mention that it’s a good filler drama!

A slow burn drama
The pace of this drama for is considered slow. However, it does not mean that the drama is not good! This drama is good! The comedy element and the romance, family element is what makes this series one that is enjoyable!I’ve watched quite a few dramas where JXB was being cast, his acting skills are great, this is my first time seeing this FL but she played the role well, it definitely suited her! I like the storyline with the other casts as well it was very wholesome
This drama is a good choice for filler dramas where you are waiting for another series to be completed!

Plot twist after plot twist
It’s a good drama to be honest! I really liked it! All the casts I’ve seen them in other dramas so their acting skills is therePlot wise, I’m really mind blown! While watching this series, I expected the story to go this way but halfway through it goes the other way I’m so surprised that it’s written well for a drama like this! There are parts that makes you go depressed to happy to angry all in one drama!
The cast, not only you have a good looking ML/FL the others are not as bad! The ending was really cute though!

A really cute drama
Have recently stopped watching C dramas to catch up on K dramas. This series has been on my to watch list since it started.The series started out cute, I really like how there’s ample screen time all 3 couples! And how each of their story progresses.
It was my first time watching a drama with casts that I’m not familiar with. But I would say their acting was good.
The only lacking part was the ending for the main couple. I really hoped they would delve in further cause I’m a real sucker better ending not like it was a bad one

Totally worth the wait to finish this series in one go!
I waited so long for 2nd Aug (the airing of last episode) and it was definitely worth it. Despite trying so hard to avoid some clips of this drama on the net, I managed! Hahaha.So back to the review! I know most people is here for 小宝 (Lennon Sun) (partly here because of him too) but I’ve watched 魏哲鸣 (Miles Wei)’s dramas previously and I loved his acting and his appearance on variety shows! His acting has always been top notch and these cool/composed character always suits him. In this series, he has a hard time showing his emotions and all but you see how he slowly overcomes it which is pretty endearing.
The story is unbelievably cute, with the addition of 小宝 it made is XXX times better! Their interactions are super cute and their chemistry is superb!
The only packing part is some loop holes here and there within the story. Some business parts is a little too artificial to my liking. And a few parts of the story is a little underdeveloped too!
But in conclusion, this drama is cute enough to watch albeit cliche!

I ALSO WANNA COLLECT STAMPS ? TOO CUTE!
Have known Cheng Xiao from WJSN and didnt know she acts! I loved all the character setups in this drama. Yaoyao is definitely candid and really straightforward. She does have emotional side at times when i feel that is super cute and helpful because she's always with a group of guys.I would say LXC is has his cute sides as well. although he did seem a little cold at first. He has his jealous and somehow a little "pervert" sides which got me squealing cause its a little too cheesy hahah! The teamwork between ZGDX is really cute and i envy that alot! Everyone from different background coming together and work towards the championships!
This is not the only drama on gaming competitions, but it is the one you have to watch!

As story within a story???!!!
I dont usually start my reviews like this but, PLEASE WATCH THIS SERIES!! Not only they have an awesome casts being lined up but you can never doubt their actings; definitely superb. And when you have stories where characters switch bodies? It really tests out the acting capabilities of the actor/actress and i would say it is a job well done.The drama was generally cute with a touch of comedy in it though there are some parts where you would need tissues. Also, surprisingly there isn't an antagonist in the story.

This series is pretty average
If you are just like me, waiting for other drama(s) to finish airing and still want to watch a drama this web-series can be one. But other than that it is really average. Not saying that the casts can't act, but the story is average, though it provide me some laughter here and there.You get the whole rich guy and how family does not approve the relationship and all but there is really no X-Factor that captures your attention. The ending was a little off to be honest. Despite the happy ending i had several questions in my head while the video continue to play

Super Fast Paced!
I think this drama is not that bad, it really omits unnecessary fillers and all but there are times when i felt that small details are being missed.But i like plot-lines with a strong minded and independent woman, so i quite enjoyed this series.REALLY HATED the the sister's of both the ML/FL. It seriously cant be more stupid being so obsessed with the ML. But i absolutely like how the title ties to the character of the male lead. His jealousy is super cute haha he gets so sour and says super childish stuff but it makes you go "awwww".
Last but not least, the SON of the lead casts. Super adorable and mature for a 6 year old

This drama has in on my “To watch list” on Netflix
And am sure that I’ve regretted putting off the urge to watch this instead of completing other dramas. A non toxic drama with happy endings? Awesome casts? Interesting plot? You definitely have it all in this drama!When I first came across the series, I’ve wondered how they would link the title and storyline, but the writers did it! It came out magnificent! I really liked Siwan’s character albeit ditzy; it’s very alluring. And Sekyung’s character? She’s definitely a strong-willed woman IMO! Not to mention Sooyoung’s acting! Some of her scenes really capture me and had me reaching out for more tissues.
I would say the chemistry between the casts were superb. Which is really important, else, you’ll find several scenes being a little awkward (like some other dramas).
This is one of the few series I wouldn’t mind rewatching if I have time! (That’s because there’s always good k dramas upcoming)
