Watch only if you are mature enough to accept flaws in others

I'm going to write this in two parts mainly focusing on why 'I understand character of female lead' and why 'major drawback mentioned by most viewers didn't change my opnion'

WHY I UNDERSTAND CHARACTER OF FEMALE LEAD
Let's start with the way she went to a place where nobody know her, changed her appearance and spent days the way she wants.( I mean don't we all want to escape somewhere no one recognizes us. Spend our days carefree, do things you didn't do your whole life and probably won't, if you are near your parents and friends .) She found park jae won and they fell in love with each other. He said it while she did not. ( I don't understand why people say she is selfish at this point. She fell in love with jae won but did jae won fell in love with her. Nah, he was in love with someone she is pretending to be, how do you think she can be confident enough to tell him his feelings when he don't even know the real her) She didn't tell anyone about what happened in yangyang especially to her friends ( Do people nowadays have no secrets. There is at least one thing we try to hide away from others becoz you fear if they will accept you as much as they did before knowing your secrets. You get the fear of being judged. ) She didn't tell right away why she wants to break up or why she doesn't want to see him. ( She went through a bad break up becoz the man fell out of love. She was not qualified for her job because she was boring. Anyone who went through that will probably fell what if this man feel the real me is boring too. So she decided to remain in his memories as who she wants to be)

POPULAR OPINIONS AND WHY I CONTRADICT
1. Drama is too westernized
My reply: This is 2021 and you can't expect every drama to have people wearing hanbok or drinking soju. The beach, surfing, interview concepts are definitely fresh and needs time to be accepted but I hope people stop staying this doesn't feel like kdrama anymore.

2. Female lead is annoying
My reply: No one is perfect and she is also not. Are you gonna dump someone who says they need some time for themselves just because you find that 'love myself ' conept annoying. She didn't explain herself because she needed time. I don't think someone who need time to figure out themself are annoying.

3. Male lead is clingy
My reply: That's his way of loving her. Not letting her go unless he knows why she did that. When you feel someone is perfect for you, you're gonna wait for them long time before moving on and would also try to get together if you see any hope. This is human nature and meeting her again is enough hope for him to get her back.

Beach scenes, Country rock music, Wonderful chemistry between leads, Female lead's fashion sense at beach scenes, Friendship between main, 2nd female lead and 3rd male lead, Park jae won's whole character are something you can look forward fo .

Fresh concept with versatile actors (MUST WATCH)

This is the first review I'm writing though I have watched many dramas. So please don't mind if there are any mistakes.
1. Story : Overall storyline which revolves around body swapping is executed bery well. Body swapping scenes are absolutely hilarious. Main leads have great chemistry, their relationship development is not rushed and beautifully grown. Confession scene is one of the most mature and neat ones compared to what I've seen in other cdramas. Ending was appropriate.

2. Acting/ Cast: Steven has always been my favorite Chinese actor. His way of portraying character never fails to amuse me. He absolutely nailed this character along with female lead. Liang jie suited this role perfectly, her way of acting manly is little underappreciated but she really nailed her role. Both leads definitely brought justice to roles given.

3. Music : Something that goes really well with story line and helps in projecting emotions well.

Additional points : I personally want to see another drama with these actors, they really compliment and look good with each other. I hope many more cdramas can come up with these kind of fresh story. It is a must watch so go and watch it now.

Light-hearted drama that brings smile on your face.

Who doesn't want to watch a light hearted drama after working on assignments for whole day. Yes this is the one your looking for if you are stressed or need something to improve your mood.
Things I want to address
1. Female lead is mature and smart. Solves her problem without being a crybaby.
2. Male lead looks cold in beginning but actually is a warm hearted person.
3. Chemistry between the leads is appreciable. No unnecessary scenes.
4. Second lead couple are both capable and their story is harmonious.
5. Their whole team ( cat, k, fatty, manager, Cheng's brother and former member) along with main leads have beautiful bond in the story.
6. No antagonist who plot against main leads, so no stress.
7. Gaming scenes are shown very well in a way you don't get bored.

Conclusion: There are many e-sports dramas that try to include romance and comedy in their genre. But I think Falling into your smile did justice for e-sports rom-com.

My opinion which everyone don't need to agree with

1. Story
Lets talk about story in two parts. Story line and the way it is potrayed.
a. Story line: Love o2o is basically a story where two almost perfect human beings fall in love through online game. Their relationship grows without any misunderstanding and leads to a perfect end.
b. How it is potrayed: There are too many artificial things in the drama which is unnecessary, for example the scene in which student fill the whole classroom to take pictures of male lead(xiao nai). There are many more scenes that are unrealistic and far from being natural. Another example is female lead joining internship in male lead's company and does nothing but finding phones,blankets and bringing lunch.

2.Acting
Okay now I'm gonna vent a lot, so anyone who can't take criticism please don't read further.
a. Firstly let's talk about female lead, I really dont know why she is chosen for this role( no offense) . In some scenes you wont even know if she is blushing, nervous or crushing on male lead.
Eg.1 During the scene in which wei wei leaves the class taught by xiao nai's dad. She gives an expression before going out of room, which I dont in if she is shy or whatever.
Eg.2 In the scene where she waits for xiao nai near willow tree, her inner voice doesn't match with her expressions which bring down the entire mood.
b. Male lead did pretty well compared to actress. His acting during romantic scenes is convincing. He could have shown a little variation in expression from scene to scene.
c. Romantic scenes: I know people love their chemistry but sorry, I didn't find any. Keeping aside their intimate scenes. Their conversations bring me second hand embarrassment on the next level. Coming to intimate scenes they are only watchable because of male lead. Actress does nothing but to stand idle blush a little. Even the scenes which have chance to put their chemistry on fire were also huge turn off due to her. You get no butterflies.
d. Supporting roles did much better to be honest including the antagonist, especially wei wei's bestfriend, xiao nai's roommates, the workers in nai's office and the girls who played negative role in university.

3. Music
Not wonderful but good enough to match with scenes.

Overall view and rewatch value :
There are to many scenes that are not necessary which made it a little bad. Acting is bad, I can't sugarcoat my opinion, coz it's really bad. Story is good but not potrayed good enough. Didn't do enough justice to given ratings. I rewatched it once with my sister once again but my opinion didn't change.
