A Fun K-Drama to Watch! Light and Fast

I’ve seen a lot of people criticizing this K-drama, especially the acting, mostly talking about Jisoo, but honestly, I don’t think the series lacked much. For me, it was a good show with an interesting plot.

The only thing I didn’t like was that everything felt a bit rushed. I would have liked to see the female lead go on more virtual dates or see the existing ones develop further. In the end, I understand that the main message wasn’t really about the virtual game but about living real life instead of getting lost in an emotional fantasy. Still, I started the drama expecting more scenes inside the virtual world.

That said, I still enjoyed it. The female lead had more depth than I expected, and I think Jisoo did an okay job. Some people say she didn’t show enough emotion, but I actually think that was intentional. Her character wasn’t written to be overly expressive, and in the moments where emotions were needed, I think Jisoo delivered well.

I liked the male lead too, although I can’t point to anything very specific. His character felt a bit flat at times, still good, but maybe lacking depth. I think he just needed more scenes or development.

One thing I really didn’t like was the fact that the female lead’s “ideal man” in the virtual world had the same face as the male lead. I understand why the writers did that, but it still felt a bit odd to me.

Overall, it’s a cute and fast drama. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for something light and easy to watch.
