Haha, same here. It’s honestly knackering going through all those breakups and awkward, pining eye-meets that feel so forced. If only they’d just be honest with each other, or at least let things cool down before jumping straight to the breakup decree. And like you said, the worst part is all the hiding stuff and then doing the whole noble-idiocy dance.

And damn, I hate those jealousy tropes, lol. The writers are like, ‘Oh, how do we show the viewers that he or she loves them deeply?’ Just throw in a few dates or dances with the second lead and voilà, sudden realisation of love.

Ah, thanks for telling me. I was wondering how this supposedly “fluffy” drama ended up going down that track. 😭

If you hear about the ending, let me know too.

…huh? She died? 😳

Pulling the story along without those tropes would take some seriously high-level screenwriting, which is why we hardly see dramas like that. Most shows end up falling back on love triangles, breakups, and similar devices. It’s the “easier” way to keep the plot moving and stretch the content across 12 to 16 episodes. 🥲

Yes, for once I’d love a drama without childhood trauma or destiny-grade connections, no hovering third or fourth wheels, no problems that could be solved if people just opened their mouths, and please, spare me the noble-idiocy break-ups. Is that really too much to ask for?

It’s been pretty cold here lately, so I’m hoping this drama turns into something nice to watch after sunset, with a cup of tea. Does anyone know if it’ll have any lingering love triangles or last-minute break-ups driven by the classic “I’ll leave you because I love you” sacrificial idiocy?

I’m really curious about what made the nephew fall for her. He shows an almost endless patience and devotion, even in the face of harsh treatment and the cold shoulder. It has to be something pretty extraordinary, and I really hope it’s not just the usual trope of a few sweet words said when he was feeling low.

Everyone’s talking about revenge, and I’m a bit confused. I thought he was just trying to figure out who was really behind the accident, not take revenge on PZ. To me, it seemed like he just wanted nothing to do with him. Did I miss something?

He doesn’t even have a bit of faith in his own company to take on Dynamism fairly, so he just keeps pulling shady moves and poaching people.

Two miscommunications? Damn! 😭

Three episodes? 🥹

Damn, this is the part I’m least looking forward to. I just hope it doesn’t turn into some long, messy angst and miscommunication.

And isn’t this guy Zhuling’s boss? Like, doesn’t he have way too much time to keep meddling, even in the game that’s supposed to be the leads’ safe haven? 😭

I was most sceptical about the VR mystery game, but it’s ended up being the part of the drama I’m most excited about. 🤭

Same here, I hate love triangles, too. And damn, I don’t like the second couple.

I really hope HX’s dad’s accident doesn’t make XZY feel guilty and send him down the whole “I’m leaving you for your own good” noble-idiot route, IF he’s actually connected to the accident, which my spidey senses are totally picking up on.

“You are too generous to trifle withe me.”
— Mr. Darcy. 🥺

The synopsis reminded me of Eye Love You’s first episode. 🤭

He is listed as a supporting character in the MDL cast list, so why is he being referred to as the second male ‘lead’? Is he actually a lead in the story?

Guys, how much screen time does the SML actually get? I’ve watched six episodes so far and he hasn’t really made much of an impact. I’m hoping it stays that way.

I thought the game had real people and NPCs interacting with each other.
By the way, their face remains the same in the game? It doesn’t change according to the character?
