The unofficial sequel to Love Game In Eastern Fantasy
Plot Summary:
Chu Li is a finance major that somehow shifty’s her way into becoming a book editor, Zhou Chan is an author. Actually they’re online friends that have developed crushes on each other but neither of them knows the others identity at first and they butt heads constantly. Shenanigans abound.
The Second leads for me is actually the better relationship to follow. But they don’t get the screen time for it to feel satisfying. Which is fair since it’s not really their story.
Esther Yu, as Chu Li is an adorable well meaning and competent book editor. Ding Yu Xi, as Zhou Chuan is an arrogant, proud and dumber than his success would lead you to believe author.
Best of OST:
Esther Yu on the OST. Cute… 😍

Overall, this drama doesn’t really have a comprehensive OST, relying a lot on the above track. But it gets the job done.

Gripes:
The pacing is a bit slow, I would have liked to have spent more time with the relationships, but the story got bogged in the minutia of the publishing industry, which I guess is exactly what they were going for.
Re-watch:
Would I watch it again?
Yeah, it’s cute enough, but I’d probably be skipping through a lot of it.
Would I watch it with my brother?
I might be able to convince him to watch it as a sequel to “Love Game In Eastern Fantasy”, but this is exactly the type of show he avoids watching.
Would I watch it with my kid?
I think when my daughter get’s older, I’d like to watch it with her, if only for showing her that this is a possible career path.
Final Thoughts:
The drama was cute, the romance was satisfying, but the publishing industry remains kinda boring.
Rating:
7.6/10
