This drama is not like those ones at all. The ML and FL clearly know each other's identities in real life. They become coworkers, and the romance takes place outside the game world. The VR is only the place that they first met at, otherwise their entire story develops like a normal rom-com.

This drama is relatively chill and well-written, hence the high rating. The actors did a great job and their chemistry is amazing!!

In case you're hesitating, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do give this drama a try!! It's beautifully written from start to finish, with relatively few complications or misunderstandings- the two leads communicate their thoughts and feelings honestly and sort out any issues between them quickly. Both are very likeable & hardworking individuals, and their respect and love for each other is very obvious throughout. Lots of cute moments guaranteed!

Thank you!
P.S- I think we've met before? Perhaps in the comments of Love Between Lines? ^^

Was planning to watch this, but just wanted to check how it is so far. Is the show worth watching? And do you foresee a happy ending for the couples?

This is what happens when you give delusional drama watchers a green flag, healthy couple in a drama -_-
they create their own problems

The funny part is, this is exactly what Pei supporters think romance is about 💀
They think oh, Hu Xiu gave him a bandaid, this means they have "chemistry".

Right? His actions give me the ick, it's almost harrassment at this point.

I am a fan of the actor and agree with you that his character is well-written and played. However, as evidenced by some comments here and elsewhere, certain viewers hold the above mentioned views. I was addressing them.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's a little disturbing to see that some viewers would rather have the female lead end up with an antagonistic man simply because they think he has "chemistry" with her and he looks hot. It's ridiculous that negative actions and emotions are equated to so-called "chemistry". This drama is one of the rare occasions when we get a "green flag" male lead who is very mature and honest, and gentle with the FL and yet they seem to be bored with him. Beats me!

I assume it'll be due to the issue of Huxiu and Zhiyu's fathers. That construction accident. If they ever DO break up, that is.

I usually get bored of a show once the couple starts dating, but over here it's different- them getting together is making the show even more lovely and addictive. I'm literally giggling over every single interaction they have! Their back-and-forth banter is to DIE for :')

Why is Zhiyu lowkey so clueless 😭
I can't help but laugh whenever he has that confused, deer in the headlights look on his face...bro has 0 experience in knowing what a woman wants.
He does try to make up for it afterwards though, which is what makes all the difference!

I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who feels a similar way about the Zhiyu-Xiu and Yifan-Sang Yan couples! Both definitely have a very comfortable, lovely vibe. Time slows down around them and you feel as if you could just watch them talk/look into each other's eyes all day.

Viki keeps the first 2 or 4 episodes free and then the rest of them behind a paywall.

how about we don't police how people watch their shows? not everyone is privileged enough to be able to afford a subscription. do they not deserve to watch the same show as the ones who pay, then?

C-dramas are killing it lately. Love Between Lines is the only thing that's keeping me going rn. Hope we get better K-dramas this year...

Haven't watched the show yet, but the synopsis reeks of AI/chatgpt. The lingo is unmistakable; I hope it isn't true...and that MDL isn't going to go down the AI route.

It's very good. The leads are mature, lovely, likeable people and they have healthy communication with each other. Do give it a try!

Chen Xing Xu is so handsome 😋
I've always found him attractive, but now, watching this drama, I find myself rewinding his scenes because he looks so perfecttttt in every angle!!!! He has this mature, manly aura about him without being threatening.

Yes, very well articulated! The leads are not just lovely together but also lovely people in general. That's why we aren't surprised that they will fall for each other.
I'm really happy with this recent trend in Cdramas.
