A few episodes in, I was a bit unsure where the drama was going. I thought it would mainly focus on dating in the virtual world, but around episode 5 it shifted more toward the relationship and interactions between the ML and FL. That change really improved the show for me and made it much more enjoyable.
At first, it felt a little strange seeing Jisoo as the FL, but after a while I just saw her as the character and not the idol. I’ve seen people criticising her acting, but I don’t really see the issue. As viewers, we’re not acting experts, and to me she did a good enough job and came across as a solid FL. I’d definitely watch her in more romance dramas.
One thing I would have liked is a SFL involved with the ML, not for too long, but enough to create some tension and encourage the FL to act on her feelings. The ML was always the one pursuing her and had already expressed his feelings early on, while the FL stayed more indecisive and unsure. It would’ve been nice to see her get a bit jealous and reach that moment of realising she’s in love with him. That would’ve added some extra fun and shown a different side of her. I thought it was a really good drama
It depends, are you in a relationship while using this device?
I don’t think it’s that simple. Just because it’s “not a real person” doesn’t automatically mean it doesn’t count.
If you’re actively dating and being intimate with something, even if it’s virtual, you’re still investing time, attention, and emotional energy into it. That’s usually the part people consider cheating, not just whether the other side is physically real.
Calling it “just a game” works on the surface, but once it starts replacing or mimicking real relationship dynamics, it’s not really just a game anymore.
I'm halfway through episode 3, and I'm just getting a bit concerned about the interactions between the ML and FL. If they're spending roughly what I believe to be one episode on each date in her virtual reality, then where is there gonna be enough time for her interactions with the ML? Because I've barely seen him. Are they just gonna go through all her dates, and then at the end of the drama, just pair her up with the ML? I mean, I don't get it. Is this what's happening?
I thought it was a pretty solid romance overall. I liked the setup, and the dynamic between the ML and FL was really appealing, especially with the whole powerful, almost deity-like ML and the lower-level immortal FL. That kind of pairing always makes things interesting, and for a short series, it was an easy watch.
My main issue was how easily the ML forgave the FL after everything. She kept doubting him and, betrayed his trust more than once, so it felt a bit too quick and easy to just move past all that. I would’ve liked to see a bit more tension there, maybe the ML holding back a bit, and the FL actually having to fight to earn his trust again. It just would’ve made the whole thing feel more satisfying.
Started well, finished poorly. The only good thing was the romantic interactions. That was fantastic. I loved it. But the rest of it, crap. The story looked good at the start, but then after maybe 20 episodes, around there, it just seemed like a very low-budget show. Even if it is a low budget, some of them do it really well. This one wasn't that good.
Then the worst part was the FL and her stupid actions. One moment she wants to be with him, the next moment she doesn't, and it just keeps going on for stupid reasons. Anyway, I skipped probably about the last 10 episodes. Just wanted to see how it turned out. You want to watch some great chemistry and fantastic erotic interactions, then this is it.
No, I suggest waiting for it to finish so that you can binge and feel fairly more satisfied with the developments.
Whether you binge a show or watch it slowly doesn’t change the pacing of the romance. The pacing is defined by how early the characters fall in love in the story.
Idk about fast-paced bc we're all mad at him. BUTT, it's engaging and very romantic.
It reads as a fast-paced romance to me because they fall in love early (fake marriage to true love) and the main plot is about separation and reunion. A slow burn would delay the romance until much later, which doesn’t seem to be the case here.
I absolutely loved this drama. It was fantastic from start to finish. The story setup, the characters, and the overall concept were incredibly engaging.
One of my favorite aspects was the ML secretly hiding his true power while everyone around him believes he’s weak and pathetic. In reality, he’s the most powerful character there, and watching that contrast play out was so satisfying. I also enjoyed the harem, with all these beautiful female characters surrounding him, (finally a change from the usual FL being surrounded by a bunch of guys and getting all the attention, refreshing to see it flipped for once) each believing at first that he’s useless. Then, little by little, they begin to realize the truth about him, which makes the buildup incredibly fun to watch. The moment when everyone finally witnesses his true, god-like power at the end was amazing.
I thought this was the full season, so I was surprised when I realized it’s actually a “to be continued.” Near the end it felt like the story wasn’t quite ready to finish yet, so that makes a lot more sense now.
I really hope they make another season because I’d love to see what happens next, especially now that people know his true strength. I’m also very curious to see how the romance and relationship dynamics develop between the four female characters. Such a great show. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I thought this drama was just ok, not great, but not terrible either. The first 8 episodes or so kept me interested, and I was curious to see where things were going. But from around episode 9 onwards, the love triangle really started to drag. I found myself skipping quite a few scenes, especially the ones between the FL and the SML. That part of the story felt stretched out for way too long. I also agree with a lot of other viewers who said the SML was given too much screen time.
The romance wasn’t particularly strong either. The chemistry between the leads just wasn’t really there for me, which made it harder to stay invested in the story. Usually when a drama starts to frustrate me like that, I end up dropping it. In this case, I didn’t. Maybe that’s because I wasn’t that emotionally invested from the start. I also didn’t realise going in that it would lean so heavily into a love triangle, but I guess I didn’t have high expectations to begin with.
As for the FL, I’ve seen her in a couple of other dramas before and I’ve never really been a fan. It’s not about her acting, I’m sure she’s a good actress, I just don’t really connect with her on screen. She’s obviously pretty, but personally I don’t find her that attractive. She’s very thin, to the point where she sometimes looks a bit unhealthy. That might just be her natural build, so I’m not making any assumptions, but it’s something that stands out to me.
