Really good but kind of flat
I really liked this drama for it's light hearted plot. The arc wasn't as usual k-dramas which i found refreshing, although I can understand if some find that rather boring. There isn't much happening in the story itself. Characters barely get a chance to develop. I liked the storyline between Jisoo and Seo Inguks irl character from the start and how she overlooked all the small things he did for her. I also enjoyed the parts of her getting closure on her past relationship, it was something I could relate to. However I did find the act of them breaking up a bit weird and more of a misunderstanding. Also he called her and then never again, there was definitely more potential.
What bothered me the most is how this drama fails to adress the technology of the game and all the ai it must use. It could've been more critical and deeper especially since it was mentioned that people indepted themselves to play and the plagiarism.. also how people playing clearly showed symptoms of addiction. I was hoping for a bit more dispute about the risks that the game came with and a social stand point.
In the end it remains a quirky rom com without depth which is totally fine but could've been more. I liked it nevertheless because I do enjoy light watches, just the topic itself was kind of screaming for more attention.
It did kind of play out how I was expecting from the start with Seo Inguk also having and ai version of him. Also the ending was a bit rushed? He did learn about that 901 character but there was no real reasoning or talking about it, he was just suddenly okay with it. They also never mentioned the missing mole on the ai vs irl him, which could've been a funny moment.
I also want to mention I kind of almost thought we would have an inception moment and everything would've turned out to be a game but yea well for that the storyline wasn't deep enough and somehow the game wasn't the center while being the center, if you know what i mean.
All in all I would recommend this, yet I feel it could've been so much more.
