First romance drama in a long time that I truly enjoyed wholeheartedly without skipping any scenes in any episode. Romance in here is sweet, funny, and quirky, main couple is a perfect pair and side characters very enjoyable. What I liked the most is that there wasn't any over dramatic scenes and flow was very smooth.
The way this story is told will keep your interest on for sure. It starts when Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) sees Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang) in internet cafe playing online game. It's kind of love at first sight and Xiao Nai decides to enter the game again just to pair up with Wei Wei and talk to her. Wei Wei is first surprised because Xiao Nai's online character hasn't been around for awhile and suddenly he wants to be a couple in the game with Wei Wei. But Wei Wei accepts because Xiao Nai's character is legendary. What's interesting is that actors actually act those parts when they play online game so they're kind of "inside" it.
Other players will talk badly of Wei Wei because she had just broken up a pairing with another character Shao Xiang (Zhang He) but Xiao Nai doesn't care and Wei Wei decides that she'll ignore bad mouthing about her.
Little by little Wei Wei and Xiao Nai gets closer by playing the game and conversing with each other. They start to like each other and decide to meet because of the game. From there starts a sweet romance that gets you squealing and smiling like an idiot to your computer screen.
I liked that even though Wei Wei is described as department beauty with good IQ she wasn't arrogant or anything. And she wasn't those weak girls either. She had strong and little bit sassy personality. Xiao Nai was handsome and quiet, kind of lone wolf even though he had his group of friends. But his personality started getting brighter when he met Wei Wei. I just loved watching these two together. And being romance drama fan, I loved how Xiao Nai knew what he was doing; he was caring, kind and protective of Wei Wei.
I love how they made this drama slice of life style. And romance was made slow paced so it felt like a real life, not like usual drama style where couple falls in love in just couple episodes. First dates between Wei Wei and Xiao Nai felt real too, they were awkward and cute because they didn't want to show each other their flaws.
Only thing I cringed at first is that when Xiao Nai kissed Wei Wei, she looked like a dead fish because she didn't react at all... but it got better later on.
Other thing I totally enjoyed and was a little bit disappointed that they didn't have that many scenes was KO and Hao Mei. There was a little bit of spark between these two and I would have loved to watch them develop a real relationship.
Only thing that annoyed me a bit in this drama was Wei Wei's best friend Er Xi (Mao Xiao Tong). I have seen my share of these kind of too energetic too cutesy characters. At times I felt like the actress went way too overboard with her expressions.
And I didn't like Cao Guang's character either, it felt like he didn't have his own brains at all because he kept believing everything everyone told him.
But otherwise this was amazing and all the time I was thinking "what, only 30 episodes? I don't want this to end" :D
Music was good but not exceptional. Very basic although they had couple funny background music tracks playing once in a while.
Pros:
+Sweet romance
+Main couple suit each other
+slice of life (I enjoy this genre)
+Xiao Nai's gang aka his friends
+KO and Hao Mei
+not overly dramatic in any scene
Cons:
-slice of life (for some people)
-romance is developing kind of slowly at first (again, I enjoyed but some people don't)
-annoying best friend character
Overall, a great romance drama without extra dramatics that I recommend every fan of romance genre to watch. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
