I love very involved and heavy esports game scenes like in… Cross Fire, The King's Avatar and Love Scenery.
Unfortunately, Love O2O is not one of my favorites.

What I am getting from this first episode is Gank Your Heart… Where the game scenes are rather mediocre compared to the ones listed above.
Anyway, I will keep on watching it because of XuXu (Of course). I can already foresee that the romance will play a bigger part rather than anything else.

Fyi: Just as I always compare any period-historical drama to Nirvana in Fire 1, in order to give my rating….
I also compare any esports drama to Cross Fire, in order to give my rating.
And my ratings are always based on the production value, not necessarily nor essentially on the storyline. Giving, if the storyline is as well written and as unique as Cross Fire… Then it is always a nice bonus.

Initial impressions of the first episode…
Hmmmmm…
I will keep on watching and see…
(Certainly not a Cross Fire’s worthy of a first episode)

I was wrong.
Apparently, the old stalker/friend was just an old creepy guy. Nothing more and nothing less.

Essentially, it was a very nice intermission contemporary esports/idol drama, while waiting for Falling Into Your Smile to be fully English subtitled… Which I just recently started.
Unexpectedly for me, Love Scenery is wining, hands down.
I wish that they had made use of Lu Jin’s fantastic violin playing skills in one of the Liang Cheng’s songs.
As for the old stalker/friend… I guess they just wanted an old creepy guy in the mix. Seriously, his character had absolutely no purpose in the drama.

Fyi: Lulu Xu and Lin Yi’s actings were effortlessly natural. One of the best chemistry and synergy that I have seen in a Chinese contemporary drama.

Here start a new and improved list of attractive features in men:
- Brain
- Jawline
- Abs
- Height (The taller the better)
- Prominent Adam’s apple

Probably not really reliable since this initial leading cast has been removed on this platform.
Since the original novel was based around an older leading cast and the second tv adaptation was based around a more younger leading cast…
I am not sure what would be their target for the third tv adaptation?

Me, even as a fan of both of them…
I was not impressed with Wallace Chung and Zhao Liying’s latest performances.

What?

The SML is obviously obsessed with the FL.
And probably has done many many secretly shady things around her so she can ONLY depend on him.
It is easy to decipher that he is one of those obsessive and dominant male characters, borderline if not fully BDSM.

Am I the only one who thinks that Lulu Xu looks very similar to Li Qin?
I watched a number of her recently aired modern trailer dramas; and every-time, I thought she was Li Qin.
And Lulu Xu’s acting is not half bad. She feels very natural.

This drama is not that bad.
It slightly reminds me of Cross Fire but the very very very very lighter and the very very very very diluted version.
A cute intermission while waiting for Falling Into Your Smile to be fully English subtitled.

I am not familiar with her…
I only remembered seeing her in
The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty, as a restaurant cook.

I don’t understand your last sentence, “while hes known for what?”

The most charming Gumiho in the recent eras😉…

Since this drama remained beautiful, interesting and entertaining in its entirety, from episode 1 to episode 16, then I will simply repeat my initial impression from episode 1.

How can I say this using the most simplest words in the English dictionary…?
I simply loved this drama.
What a world of difference between “My Roommate is a Gumiho” and “Doom at Your Service.”
From A to Z… The writing, the casting, the general acting, the directing and THE COMICAL LINES were on point.
I am so happy that I waited for the full completion before I started it.
My Roommate is a Gumiho has become my third favorite Gumiho’s storyline after…
- Gu Family Book
- Gumiho: Tale of the Fox's Child

Amen🙏 to that!

The texture and color pallet remind me of Goblin. Very high quality.

I agree.
Every time I see an actor or an actress from his old dramas and movies; I get so nostalgic about his larger than life old-performances.
I guess raising 3 boys and having a high profile wife make him too busy for anything else.

For me… First, there was Jumong
Then, Nirvana in Fire 1
Then, Six Flying Dragons
Then, Joy of Life
All the rests are just playing catch-up.

So true.
