Amor O2O (2016)

Love o2o is a must watch Chinese drama

After re-watching this drama I decided to write a review.

Dislikes:
I have two small complaints.
1. The supporting character Nana who is Meng YiRan's best friend is just a horrible person and she causes most of the drama in the show. This is her job because she is an antagonist but the other antagonist were interesting and she was just annoying. Meng YiRan and her cousin Zhen XiaoShang were both good people overall and therefore made their drama interesting.
2. This is a very very minor issue but the first kiss between the main leads was awkward but only the first one.

Likes:
I can easily say this is one of the best Chinese romance drama that exist.
1. The main leads relationship was mature throughout the show. They weren't petty or childish when there were issues or rumors but instead they had trust in each other.
2. The female lead didn't act or talk in a childish voice. A common trend in Chinese drama is for the female lead to act childish or be super naive and though that not the worst thing it can be annoying. Bei WeiWei was a smart girl and she had her own opinion and Xiao Nai respected her.
3. The third and final reason this drama is great and a must watch is because out of all the romance drama that i have seen their chemistry is the best. In many dramas the ending is rushed but in this drama the ending is very satisfactory. Wei Wei and Xiao Nai are one of the only couples from the Chinese dramas i have seen that i could actually imagine having kids.
If you like dramas where there isn't too much drama between the main couple and there are aspects of business, gaming, and youth this one is a must watch.

This was the first time I watched a Chinese drama (Watched it during my semester exams within a day - :) ). Awesome cast, beautiful songs, and very cute love story. Totally in love with the lead casts. I guess I have watched this drama for over a 100 times now (LOL). Surprising, yet true. Kudos to the team!!

There's more to write but I can only say that they all did a very good job. Although there were scenes where there were minor flaws (like same dresses in different scenes and episodes), they can be overlooked. Overall, it is my favorite drama of all time. :)

First mainland Chinese production in the 21st century that I've watched and it trumped most of the Taiwanese dramas of modern times, IMHO. I love the juxtaposition of the real world and game world and how the characters act in either of them. Yang Yang is a dreamboat and the other characters are mostly easy on the eyes. I also love the brewing bromance between KO and Hao Mei. Watch it for all the elements: plot, characters, costumes, scenery, pacing, romance...and it will not disappoint. Only downside is the lackluster kissing skills of female lead but Yang Yang could kiss a tree and it will still look hot.

COMPLETELY ADDICTED - I don't have a count on how much times i have rewatched dis !!

It still feels like I ate a pound of sweet chocolate—dis show was too perfect. Did I particularly think deir chemistry was out of dis world?

//THINGS I LOVEDD// MOST Handsome, cheeky ML & de cute FL , the online connection, college romance, lot in-game , how de 4 boys 2gether show such a lovely camaraderie!... I liked de idea of having a parallel story in the real world and the fantasy game.The subplot of Er-Xi getting mistaken 4 Wei & de mistaken identity turns in2 professional & romantic disaster 4 her? Brilliant. "

//VERDICT// STREAM IT NOW !!! perhaps de only unrealistic aspect of dis drama is dat Xiao Nai & his relationship wid Wei Wei is too perfect 2 b true!"

I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea, but, honestly, if you love romance that stands above all WITHOUT drama, this is the one for you.

Actually, despite how much I watch dramas, I don't really LIKE too much drama, and, usually, Chinese dramas have too much for me. They tend to drag, taking ten episodes to solve a problem that should take, like, half an episode. This one, however, skips it ALL. I mean it. The problems this couple have are ALL solved because they trust and communicate with each other. It's WONDERFUL. Ten outta ten.

I love me a feel-good drama that I can watch for romance and warm-fuzzy feelings, and this one is mine~

Now, there are problems involving side characters and their perceptions of the main characters, not to mention some insecurity problems amongst friends, but it's very REAL and it MAKES SENSE, and I feel like that's so hard to find some times.

All Hail Wattpad Come to Life

You will cringe the entire time, but if you’re okay with that then go for it. I’m telling you, if you love wattpad stories you’ll love this because the first thing I thought was “what in the wattpad is this?”. It’s the typical smart, rich, handsome student turned CEO and the holier than thou girlfriend but I liked that. I was looking for a drama that wouldn’t have me tooooo invested and for Yang Yang too. I don’t know if this fits perfectly but it does to a great extent. Overall, I had fun with this.
It’s almost like watching a really badly produced Disney movie. It has all the cute perks that come with Disney movies but without the good production. I saw that another reviewer said that this is sweet like candy. It’s exactly sweet as candy and doesn’t last too long and that was fine by me.
If you’re looking for a mature show run and never look back. The amount of filler scenes in this show is INSANE even for 2016 but it is a Chinese drama so I was expecting that. The real age for this show should be 2009😂. For the first 17-20 episodes I watched literally only half of the show because I could fast forward and really not miss anything. I suspected it would be like that and I was okay with that because I really wasn’t in the mood to be serious. I wanted to be distracted and this does the job. The last ten episodes though, I barely fast forwarded at all. It was like that was when the show really started.
It’s super swoony in my opinion. Some people will absolutely hate the amount of cringe lines and situations. I really want to know why he doesn’t pay her during summer internships and why all she’s helping majorly with is admin work when she’s a comp sci major. But it didn’t bother me too much because the ONLY way to watch this and enjoy it is to ignore technicalities.
Er Xi is a friend I would’ve broken up with because what was that and the other antagonist guy is absolutely horrendous. Just No. I loved the MLs friends a lot and how accepting they were of her. The banter they had with her too was great. I didn’t mind the MLs attitude. I think he can be reasoned with but she never tried. She accepted his every word so how can I fault him lol. It’s worth watching if you think curling your toes lines are cute.
There was so much footage of the game world that was just pointless. So many pointless scenes. But if you’re looking to swoon and not have a serious drama then this will be fine. My emotions gave this a 7 for the last 10 episodes but the first 20 are just so filler like that it’s not fair. This should be a 6.5 overall but for some reason I feel bad rating it that .

C-drama com clichés bem previsíveis e protagonistas sem personalidade alguma.
A história é meio bagunçada e ao mesmo tempo que várias coisas vão acontecendo ao mesmo tempo, tudo é muito claro e não tem nenhum suspense ou algo que prenda a atenção. Na verdade todos os acontecimentos são bem infantis e muito forçado, a protagonista é sempre colocada no papel de princesa indefesa e inocente, o protagonista é sempre um Deus, frio, inteligente e exaltado por todos, o resto dos outros personagens são iguais a qualquer outros, parece que saíram de uma forma pronta, todos são igualmente desinteressantes e alguns são extremamente chatos e mesquinhos. Eu tenho o Yang Yang como um dos meus atores chineses preferidos, além de ser extremamente bonito ele sabe muito bem atuar, mas esse c-drama manchou o histórico dele, e com certeza não recomendaria para alguém que quer conhecer o trabalho dele, ou simplesmente quer um c-drama cliché para assistir.

Love 020 is a great show to watch to help you wind down at the end of a crazy day. The show had a great pace with amazing characters and featured a great gaming concept which was a fresh idea. I'll admit the storyline was a little cliche the lead actors/ actresses were a little... too perfect however the supporting cast Erxie & Mr. Girly they call him were perfect and made the show enjoyable I loved they're storylines and wished the show would've built on them more. I was a little thrown off by the ending It did end with some resolve but in a way, it left me wanting more they storyline could've continued for at least 1-2 more episodes to clear up a few more loose ends but overall great show!

This drama was actually recommended to me by a friend because she used to be a huge fan of Yang Yang so I decided to give it a go. The story is different and unique compared to other dramas that often follow a certain formula (boy meets girl, boy is rich, they don’t get along at first then fall in love but boy’s family is the cockblock etc). It was nice that there was no hateful mum and all that usual jazz.

Yang Yang’s acting was quite robotic and it was a bit boring to watch at times because he is actually so funny and full of emotion but he’s been reduced to a guy who mainly says “mm” or grunts as a response when people ask him questions. Perhaps that’s how his character is, y’know that mysterious and handsome guy who manages to make girls swoon without doing anything but I’m sure he’d still be able to manage a proper response rather than just a grunt. What I did like about his character was how determined and loyal he was even when people were trashing Weiwei. Another major plus was that the boy can kiss! Had no problems with his acting there.

As for Weiwei, I couldn’t stand her. She was a really interesting character initially and was presented as an intelligent woman who could take care of herself but as the drama progressed, she became so damn useless and boring. She is supposedly the department belle because she’s got the looks and the brains but towards the final arc of the drama, she did nothing to help and became the maid basically. What on earth happened there? They made her fall into that stereotypical role of a woman that is there to clean and provide food and run errands while the men solved the problem. Also, what is up with Zheng Shuang’s acting?? She can only manage the same repetitive expressions and during their kiss scenes, I have never deflated so quickly before. He’s great but she stands there like a wall. Lips not moving and I’m quite sure she actually frowned or had a look of horror during their first kiss. I dunno why the director didn’t tell her to step it up because he was basically team carry out of the two of them. Honestly, Dilreba would’ve suited the role way better.

Supporting cast was great though! Xiaonai’s roommates were hilarious, especially Banshan. Would’ve liked to see a bit more development between Haomei and KO because they brought that up and then that was it. Yiran might as well have been written out of the drama because she did absolutely nothing and I have never seen a character as annoying as Erxi. Couldn’t stand the chick because all she knew how to do was yell, act like a dumbass and was such a glutton.

Overall, the drama was ok. Not sure if I’d rewatch it because it frustrated me towards the end and Weiwei became useless.

Esta va ser mi primera reseña aquí, la voy hacer por que he visto muchas criticas o muy positivas a o muy negativas y yo llevaba tiempo tratando de verla, pero no podía, el primer capitulo lo pare mas de 5 veces. Al final la curiosidad gano y continue. Llegue a la conclusión que es para adolescentes, no esta mal, pero es demasiado light para mi. En realidad es el sueño de muchas personas, que todos los complot de los malos no resulten, que los amigos se respeten y confíen entre si, que los que hicieron algo malo se arrepientan y pidan disculpas. Es tan lindo todo eso, que entendí porque aman esta serie. Tenemos tantos problemas en el mundo ahora, que tener este tipo de series es un bálsamo de suavidad que necesitamos. Así que reconozco claramente el amor por la serie. Ahora... las actuaciones, los cliches exagerados, hacen que realmente la rechace, la termine de ver porque soy muy curiosa y considero que como se cuenta la historia es lo mejor y ver que el final no fue malo, es un punto importante para mi.
Estoy cansada de ver niñas tontas, con actitudes ridículas, no se si estoy vieja o que creo que la juventud es más inteligente y menos sobre actuada de lo que aqui muestran.
Se que la censura china es fuerte y he tendido que entender hasta donde pueden llegan, y a pesar de eso, hay veces que los besos y el sexo están mejor mostrados que aquí. Con respecto a este tema, reconozco que me gusto mucho como trataron muy sutilmente la relación de los dos chicos.
En resumen, si quieren ver una historia de adolescentes éxitos y lindos, mezclada con juegos en linea, esta bien, pero si no toleran las actuaciones exageradas y poco profundas, no lo hagan.

I had long known about this drama from friends but I always hesitated to watch this. After 7 months, I finally watched this and today I regret not watching this earlier coz now I don't have time to rewatch it again and again. The episodes are literally amazing (exception is episode 3, 4, 6, 7, 8) and their kiss scenes from 17 to 20 and in the last episode are too hot to handle!!!

One alluring smile and Just one smile is very alluring are two captive soundtracks.

Even though there is no real "I Love You or I Like You" dialogue or a romantic marriage proposal, its truly the kind of drama that shakes a maiden's heart!!

This is the FIRST (yup, as in 1st) Chinese Drama I ever watched! and I guess it was just right!
I've been watching this drama endlessly on REPEAT. Thanks to Yang Yang

CAST: Every role fits the actor. I like the fact that there are no same characters for each roles (they are all unique)
Each actor brings out the best of each character. It feels like they don't even need to act.
I also would like to THANK Yang Yang for doing a great job! All thanks to him that I've been watchign this drama on REPEAT

STORY: The story is VERY light. I like the fact that it is straight to the point with not much of a drama.
It's like all you have to do is watch and enjoy. The side love stories were also cute!
All you really have to do is giggle and enjoy every episode.

MUSIC: Their songs are also commendable! I like the fact that Yang Yang sang one of the main OST.
Plus, the other characters did a cover of the other OST which is by the way amazing!
