"This drama immediately captivated me with its unique premise: a romance blossoming between two people who first connect in a virtual reality murder mystery game, eventually carrying their connection into the real world. It's a familiar trope, but the execution feels fresh, especially with the immersive virtual reality setting, which offers two distinct timelines – the game's historical setting and the modern real-world. The dynamic between the characters in both settings is incredibly compelling.

The female lead is a standout. Lu Yuxiao delivers a natural and expressive performance, but it's her character that truly shines. She resonates deeply, reflecting the struggles of those who have had to set aside their dreams. Her journey to reclaim them is incredibly moving, and the quote, "Do you know what happens to someone who keeps a bad option while looking for better ones, they spend the rest of their life with that bad option without realizing it," perfectly encapsulates her character's internal conflict. I'm already rooting for her to achieve her goals; she's a truly comforting character. I also love her personality; she's real, fierce when necessary, brave, calm, collected, mature, and kind.

Chen Xingxu, who impressed me in "Love on the Turquoise Land," is equally captivating here. His acting is strong, and I'm eager to see more of his character's development. My only minor critique, and this is a recurring observation with many male leads in Chinese dramas, is the heavy makeup. It can be a bit distracting. However, this doesn't detract from my overall enjoyment.

The leads' relationship is beautifully developed across both timelines. Their shared interests, the support they offer each other, and the natural development of their chemistry make them a joy to watch. I'm eagerly anticipating more episodes. This drama is off to a fantastic start in 2026!"
