It does what it’s supposed to

A drama that falls in the category of “guilty pleasure” for me. The story is kinda predictable, but it’s made well enough to do what it’s supposed to: giving you some butterflies and relieve stress. There’s not much commentary about the implications of such invasive virtual experiences, but it’s not the drama for it. Jisoo, as much as she achieved such leading roles due to her status, she’s not bad. Her acting is a bit stiff at times, a bit scholastic, but she’s not terrible at all. She deserved the main lead role? I’m sure there were more navigated actresses that deserved it. Was she bad? Not at all, as I said she’s still a rookie and it shows, but she’s not as terrible as some say. I think she embodied the character pretty well, she was cute and easy to cheer for.
The series is obviously carried by the amount of budget put into it with aesthetically pleasing scenes, a carousel of super famous male actors, but it’s genuine in being what it is. It doesn’t want to be deep or serious, it reminds me of an upgraded version of Love Alarm. It’s cheesy but in a gratifying way. It moves a couple of strings that many can relate to like leading a stressful life and the need to feel something… Not groundbreaking but a pleasing watch overall.
