How does it feel like arguing with bots lol

That would have probably required more episodes. Reading about insane people like Kongming or Liu Ji (real), Changsu, Xie Wei (fictional) etc, doesn't make me jaded seeing brilliant people like Zang Hai. Besides, personally, the ending was quite rushed. But the resolve was good.

So adding more episodes to showcase the knowledge acquisition plus play out the ending better, to already 40 eps. Yikes.

ya boy kongming..

Don't think it is based on any specific dynasty but the ambiance, fashion etc resemble perhaps the Ming era.

I don't think this particular show requires a villain, as it's about raising a kid by clueless unlikely parents. As for love triangle, as long as they don't drag it until ep 10, should be alright..ish.

Based on the usual complaints, love triangles are annoying most of the time ..if not done well, but in this specific show, I don't mind it.. so far. Because the premise is pretty much like, you thought your life was heading one way and a shocking incident alters your trajectory in a direction that you could have never imagined. Romance is a part of life as well and a bolt of lightning hitting your ass (my metaphor to not give away shit) can alter the course. And besides, I am familiar with the core concept. Ahem..life as we know it..ahem.

Now if they decide to drag this until episode 10 or something, that's a whole different issue. Remains to be seen.

depends on your taste. It's a solid drama.

Again, where was he abandoned ? Use the fucking spoiler tag.

It is a very common trope but this drama did it well without making it look far fetched.

It's ok, you don't have to like everything. It is a slow burn romance show, so if that is not your thing, totally cool. I won't tell you that it would get better from ep 20 as it is already good from the start. First kiss on ep 26 anyway.

You will get the answer later on as to why. Hard to put in a few words but think of it as ML's place of solitude/his inner mind where he can be himself. The VR scenario is there only when the ML needs to be there. So whenever he is content in real life, he doesn't need it.

Like or dislike is subjective, chemistry usually is not. Watching a few episodes won't give you the chemistry answer as their relationship has like 4 phases (meeting, courting, dating and solidifying) spread over 25 episodes in a linear way.

romance is pretty intense, but takes a while to get there
no major misunderstandings
love triangle as in, 2 guys interested in one girl, but one has no chance
happiest of the end
yes there is a breakup but it is short lived, vital to the plot
epi 19

As Master Yu said to Detective Carter in Rush Hour 3, "Yu is blind !"

A very run of the mill, easy to follow rom com. Keep your brain in the fridge and you might enjoy it on a slow day. Leads are likeable so the show is watchable.

Way to blow shit out of proportion lol. Where was this throwing away like a used napkin with cruelty and utter lack of empathy ? Did we see the same show ? And use the spoiler tag ffs . What betrayal ?

In order for X to empathize fully with Y, X has to KNOW what they are empathizing with Y for. Sheesh.

When did she abandon him ? She 'broke' up because at that moment she thought that was the right thing to do considering everything that was going on. Human flaw. Even 'right' after that she made sure that he didn't face any issues at work, got to the bottom of how things broke out and kept tabs until they reconciled. So no, he was not abandoned, not even for a moment. But he felt that for a short amount of time. And she was there right when he needed her.

The rating is quite justified. It is a rather simple modern romance with all the usual tropes but they are meticulously executed. Very very few dramas can achieve that.

Do continue. As the leads start to navigate and deal with their feelings in the real world, the VR relevance slowly fades. Think of the world of VR as the mind of the male lead. You will know as you watch on.

Fair. Aside from Ruipeng being a rather unscary demon lord, the drama is good, should you decide to watch it sometime. Of course, I have my own issues with it.
