Great start, but loses steam in the second half
Great first half, but disappointing second one. Started off amazing, but once the main characters discover what it is all about (at around ep 15 almost everything is revealed and the rest you can easily guess) it becomes a bit of a drag.Would have preferred if the story would have focused on them actually playing the game to the end (instead once they discovered the truth behind the game it became a whole different thing) - I would have actually liked if how the game existed was left a mystery and they never interacted with the tech company.
Props to the main FL, which was amazing during the games in the first half and was actually smart (not like a lot of FLs I see in Asian dramas).
Romance was there, but did not feel much chemistry in the lead couple, while the second leads were very cute.
If I need to compare it to another series, I would compare it to Reset. I felt the same when watching both series: Great first half with a mystery that has you on the edge of the seat and cheering for the leads to figure out what is going on, but once the truth it's revealed the drama starts to lose its appeal.

One of my biggest disappointments, I should have not gone into it with expectations
I think I may be in the minority here, but I think this drama is super overrated. I started watching it with a lot of expectations, but other than a couple of episodes, the rest i was pretty disappointed about.The first 10 eps was a struggle to push through: I found their relationship at the beginning very awkward and I was just embarrassed for her for most of it.
After they got together it was OK, but I really did not feel that much of a chemistry between the two.
The couple of break ups and getting back together was just annoying. like girl, he is in his 40s...if you explain the situation he can make his own decision.
And then the finale, I was expecting it. What I was not expecting was that i did not even shed a tear, I just did not care. I don't know if I wasn't vibing with the actress or something, I just didn't care.
Also, the mother romance storyline...I couldn't care less. Wasted time that could have been spent on the leads relationship.
There were two scenes I liked that I will mention:
-The wedding was shot beautifully, I loved how the scene looked.
-The scene were the 2ML finds her crying in the street and they have a convo and cry together. That was the only scene where I almost teared up. Honestly, the only emotions I got out of this drama was pity and sadness for the 2ML.
