Im liking the friendship/relationship of FL with all the guys. Especially the ml. Its done very well without being…
Yup, and she makes it clear that she's friendly and everyone has a place in her life - I really liked the matter-of-fact reply to ML over her marriage plans - she's very logical and has saved plenty of people in first 7 episodes than any man, frankly.
So you're telling me these 2 are aware that they can go back to real world by dying? Im not even sure if that's…
In the webnovel they could always go back (by killing themselves or dying at the hands of someone else), and in the drama, in earlier episodes when FL chats with ML about 'when he got there' he explicitly says he can just send her to a 'door' from where she'll go back and she says no. And yes, in the drama, they can go back when they die. That's what will happen to ML: He'll find himself sitting in his high school once he dies in this place (in 2016, and was a fan of this book reading it.) He'll live and work to 'catch up' to FL as a young woman, resisting the urge to meet her before she 'travels into the book' and has 'memories of living with him'. She will have a natural death, unlike his, and wake up in the same train that she was taking back to her apartment in 2026. He, an adult, of course, waits for her all night outside her apartment and she doesn't show up because she'd forgotten her key password, she went to sleep at her parents' place. The next day she starts to look for him and meets him. The End!
There is no task that these two had or have. I don't know why they even cry when someone dies or worry when there's a crisis in this fictional place. Nobody is real in a fictional book except for the 3 people transported into it!!! It's just that the FL comes to believe it as an alternate universe because she and ML changed the book's arc and the trajectory of their own lives in the book.

Can someone tell me why reviews are not showing up for this drama on this page? I did not like the book nor the drama & dropped it after a few episodes & wrote a summary on opinion days ago - it's on my profile page, but still not visible here. So is kisskh keeping reviews off if they are unfavorable?
I'm curious if anyone has read the novel for this drama and if there were any scenes you wish were in the adaptation…
You can find the things different from the book in reviews posted above (including mine). Basically, the entire characterization, arc and storylines of the 2 main leads is different and very basic/ general / monotonous in the book, for e.g. FL was nothing more than some bird-brained fan who just wanted to get closer to the ML (MVP/ main cast of VR LBE). I liked the drama. In it, she just wants to beat him in the game and be one-up in that way. And he is not vain or full of himself like he is in the book. And I liked the way virtual reality was incorporated in the drama. In the book, she works as an interpreter in a hospital with surgeons. In drama, she is in the same field as the ML. etc. etc.
Korean viewers need to grow up - they bully their artists. Ten years of wait and its not releasing this year! tvN should've stood by JJW and the drama.
I dropped it because they are stuck in past, and not going back to reality till the last chapter. I've done a video essay review of this drama (and the novel it is based on) and how it is different from the book as well as an analysis of this genre of escapist fantasy and other dramas (love between lines, the judge returns, when destiny brings the demon, etc.). Kindly do share your opinion, whether you agree with the thesis or not:
I think the male lead was as per the description and dimensions as given in the novel - and I love the FL. This…
I've done a review of this drama as well as an analysis of this genre and other dramas (How Dare You?! etc.). VR business in Shanghai and some famous global crimes rooted in inability to distinguish fact from fiction are also mentioned. Kindly do check it out and / or share your opinion on:
I think the male lead was as per the description and dimensions as given in the novel - and I love the FL. This drama did the escapist fantasy virtual reality location based entertainment well, instead of sending the leads time traveling or in some alternate universe or transmigration theme, VR became a prop and a tool to show their slow burn romance and also their character growth.
This poll is not structured in a way for users to pick and choose a favorite, it is structured rigidly as you HAVE to pick one of the two shown to move to the next round - which is ridiculous.
Very enjoyable but the B plot brought the drama down to a low point that never really recovered for me.I don't…
The SFL saw her husband kiss his former classmate sitting on a bench outside her office, when he went to see the other woman. He was spending more and more time away from the wife - SFL even said, it was like they were now roommates - she thought he was working hard - no, he did have work problems, but he was also having an affair (maybe he had an affair for work-related reasons, but he did have an affair). That's why the SFL left him. At least that's what I understood from their scenes (though I used to forward their scenes.)
