Smart vertical drama w outstanding M/F leads
Wow! Loved this transmigration novel (into a game-like setting of a real world) which upends some tropes, with witty repartee between the leads, and an interesting world. The Female and Male lead actors are highly skilled so this makes this drama a cut above most verticals. The intriguing storyline and world concept, as well as the acting, makes the overall quality high, almost as good as a regular drama.
FL has a mission to make 2nd ML fall in love with her. After repeated mission attempts lead to failure (the 5th one resulting in her unaliving herself) she requests a change in the target. The new target though is having none of her nonsense! This results in several funny encounters where she tries all the drama tropes (FL "I was drugged! Help me!" ML "That isn't real" LOL). The teasing and much of the dialogue is very clever and enjoyable, unlike many verticals which seem to work from the same script (evil mom, evil stepsister, disengaged dad, CEO BF who is disguising his wealth).
This is a drama you need to let unfold. You can't rush it so just enjoy the M/F leads as they dance around, getting to know each other and become a couple (at the very end of the show). The ending (happy) is very sweet and makes you misty-eyed.
All the background and explanations are not told until the last couple of episodes which I think has lead to some being confused and abandoning the drama. So I marked this as a mild spoiler on how the world works.
From my understanding there is some entity (unknown) which reaches out to select people and lets them become strategists/players. These people are given a mission, and once completed will get a wish granted by the entity. While conducting the mission, if they die, they can reset, and return with a new identity. The regular people will not recognize them (think face blindness).
Our heroine wants to return to high school on a day that her mother was hit by a car (not killed, but severely injured, which puts her life into a downward spiral).
If you are willing to be drawn in to a more mature drama in both acting and plot, give this one a try!
I found it on IQ but only through the app (look at the tab for vertical shorts). If you try to find it via your TV it doesn't show up on search.
