Better than Expected

I was really excited about this drama because the cast was just !!! However, I got a bit nervous when I started seeing all these posts complaining about Jisoo's acting. Note that I've actually never watched her in a drama but like her as a whole! I actually found her portrayal of Seo Mirae to be quite good! Perhaps it was a character that suited more of her style.

The storyline was fun, and I enjoyed the use of the VR "game" in the storyline. However, at some point, I did start to fast forward through more of the VR storyline (mostly the secondary characters) just because I wanted to see more of the main couple's storyline on my screen! Honestly, the relationship was so cute that it had me wanting that for myself as well.

The pacing of the drama probably could have been better (i.e., some of the conflict in the latter episodes probably could have happened a bit earlier so that we could have a more developed storyline after the fact). It felt like the last two episodes really tried to pack a lot in, and some of the earlier episodes probably had more fluff than it needed. The 10-episode length, however, would otherwise have been good as it might feel draggy if it went longer.

All in all, I quite enjoyed the drama (and stayed up late to finish it). I also love Seo Inguk and Seo Kangjoon and might go digging for some of their older stuff as my next drama!
