he was above 18 by that point so being legally adopted wasn't an option for him then. the only way it would have worked is if his rich father agreed to give up paternal rights back before the leap.
To me, the ML's feelings were weirder. Atleast it was clear 2ML only felt she was his sister. Whereas ML felt his supposed sister was the only woman he could love.

I'm not exaggerating, this drama is literally my roman empire. I think about it. A lot. I have to go back and rewatch my favourite scenes 😫😫😫

This is still my #1 Kdrama ❤️
It was my first one and nothing has still topped it for me, not even my other favourites.

coming back here a year later, it seems she never retired. She was just on a break for her son. She's still been doing other work more off camera, and Hyun Bin has also been in a film recently. Ye Jin is apparently due to come in a historical with Ji Chang Wook (hopefully later this year?)

to be accurate - it's written by the same screenwriter who wrote Our Beloved Summer and has the same ML as OBS. We don't know how much the drama itself will feel like OBS

I actually thought it was draggy in the first half and was immensely better in the 2nd half when they get closer. It sounds like this drama will be more of a slowburn too

I also can't believe it's with Park Bo Young, both th leads are excellent 😭

That Shin Hye Sun didn't win the Baeksang awards the year of this drama should have been illegal. She did such an iconic and memorable role. Forever amongst my top 10 Kdramas

it's a really fun drama, and I would say a lot more light hearted than LGiEF. They have similar concepts where the FL comes from the real modern world and travels into the game.

oh it's definitely on my list then 🥰

yeah you would have thought it should have been 34 or 36 episodes like a usual Cdrama. most even go up to 40. even when I started watching 32 seemed a little too less for this genre. But I think they only wanted to stick to the in-game world and not the modern one

he was incredibly good looking in his modern attire and I still need to watch Moonlight. isn't it also with Esther?

her thinness is another thing I noticed too, again not straight away just like you. But she wears some very nice dresses as the drama progresses and you can see her arms are so scarily thin.

I also watched Everyone Loves Me after having repeatedly watched this drama. I came away thinking ELM is like a much more realistic version of Love 020. In this one, he only approaches her and loves her because he accidently finds out her identity, hacks her laptop, and even stalks her round campus - Xiao Nai is made to be this 'genius mind' able to cross any limit.
But in ELM, Gu Xun is a lot more of normal intelligence and realistic events never let him find out who his online crush is. He rejects FL in order to stay loyal to his online crush. Unlike Xiao Nai he can't do anything that probably sounds illegal and stalkery in order to find out who she really is in real life.

I have rewatched this so many times, and I've come to the conclusion Xiao Nai's character is the most unrealistic ever written but I just LOVED it. His stalking tendencies and all, I could never bring myself to dislike this drama. I did have problems with the 2nd couple, but I mostly skipped their scenes on rewatches.
plus the brilliant OST ❤️

This is my favourite brain rot drama. I usually wouldn't like something so dumb and clichéd but this was surprisingly entertaining. Minor issues here and there, but it's so fabulously out of the early 2010's that I can laugh and overlook it (FL's hairline and brows aside haha)

Thankfully this wasn't early on in my Kdrama watches so I wasn't turned off, I have plenty of favourites amongst dramas that are ACTUALLY good.
I also have a few 'brain rot' dramas which I enjoy, just not this one. It's like all my most hated tropes in 1 drama. I also don't understand it when people act like Kdramas peaked in 2009 with this drama lol.

they make it clear they end up happy together, so it's not that 'open.' Warning that it's a bit rushed, and that's why there's some unsatisfactory feelings going round, but it's nowhere near sad.

they reveal in the real world that the novel had a satisfying and happy ending, so he did rewrite the story as Miao Miao wanted her favourite author to do.

I agree, atleast it was happy, so it wasn't trash. i would still keep it at 9/10.
but the fact they don't even show his face when Miao Miao sees him for the first time on the real world was still weird ngl.
