A nice comfort drama...
Plot Summary:
Jing Jing is a celebrity that finds herself needing to prove that she is competent in the video game that she endorses. She finds someone to tutor her, who turns out to be her first love. From video-games, to acting sets in the middle of the desert, to launching rockets into space. This pair will help each other and find true love.
Best of the OST:
This track pretty much carries the OST for the entire drama:
Fireworks of Stars -- Performed by Liu Yuning

The OST isn’t comprehensive, and doesn’t quite hit greatness, but it goes along lovely with the drama.
Gripes:
Okay, so the premise of this show is wild. If I see that a famous person likes the video game I like, it doesn’t matter how good they are at it. Netizens suck.
Also at some point, the plot went from this video game thing to an advertisement for the Chinese space agency. Luckily they cover a lot of it up with cheesy romance.
Re-watch:
Would I watch it again?
This is a nice comfort drama. There’s a little bit of angst in the middle but I can rush through that on a re-watch.
Would I watch it with my brother?
I could try to convince him, but I think as soon as that gaming part is over, he would be done with it.
Would I watch it with my kid?
I think this would be a good drama to watch with my daughter.
Final Thoughts:
If you can look past the extreme Chinese nationalism (fair enough, it’s a C-drama), the crazy premise of the need for the couple to meet each other, and the nothing-burger argument that made no sense in the middle, the rest of this drama is absolutely delightful. A warm and fuzzy romance that keeps you wanting more.
My Rating:
8.2/10
