A feast for the eyes and butterflies for the heart
One of the most visually pleasing modern dramas I've watched! The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous, and the Shanghai scenery made me want to book a ticket there immediately.
My biggest complaint is that the plot seemed to lose its direction somewhere in the middle. The story started with such an interesting concept, especially the Republic-era VR game, but I felt like that aspect gradually took a backseat. I honestly wish they had explored the game world more and given us more interactions and storylines within it. It had so much potential, and I found myself wanting more whenever we got those scenes. The climax also felt a little anticlimactic. After everything that had happened, I expected a stronger payoff, but it was just okay.
BUT THE CHEMISTRY? Absolutely no complaints. Chen Xingxu and Lu Yuxiao were so good together. Their romantic scenes had me swooning, and I've probably rewatched their sweet moments countless times. Chen Xingxu in those Republican-era costumes deserves a special mention because WOW. And Lu Yuxiao was gorgeous, too! I also loved that her character wasn't overly whiny or helpless.
Despite its flaws, this was such a fun and enjoyable watch. One of those modern romances that gives you butterflies without making you cringe.
