A Very Beautiful Story

I love love love this drama it's hands down the best drama of 2021 for mee

At first the plot seemed a little slow like hello they omly met each other irl after like 4 episodes???? And it was like a mobile legends bangbang gameplay for like 10eps

But these allowed us to feel the slowburn which was like the 10+years wait for them to meet again and start to date

The love story was beautifully depicted by dilraba and yangyang, and the emotions were conveyed extremely well especially during that confession scene at the gas stop

But wow after they cleared up all the misunderstandings it was just romance all the way

I really love how they didnt depict yutu as a successful man at like 30 years old and actually showed us his struggles, makes him an ever real-er character

And QJJ being so famous but still humble and mature was also very ???

I suck at like reviewing but i really needed to type this out and give it a solid 10

Rewatch value also 10 for the romance HAHA

One of the best

I thought this was just another fluffy romance C-drama but I was wrong. It is fluffy, but it gives us how a mature stable romantic relationship works between two people. Yu Tu, a genius aerospace engineer, a really passionate man in his field meets Qiao Jingjing, a beautiful superstar who needs help to play game that she endorses. The two share their struggle as a person who has a job with each other with respect and support. In their relationship, no one is above the other, both are equal. I really love the potrayal of the relationship. No drama, no annoying second leads, no playing cats and dogs. In addition, Yang Yang and Dilreba have insane chemistry with each other and both look so so beautiful, watching them on a screen together is such a feast to my eyes.

Drama from the heart - simple yet moving.

I am unsure how many times I have re-watched the broadcasted episodes. This simple yet moving drama series seems to be very much on-point and suitable for me during this pandemic period where challenges are all round. Plus, this rom com does not follow the usual rich man, poor lady kind of plot. This is my second time watching yang yang after Martial Universe and I have to say he seems to be rather versatile. Raba is oh-so-adorbs in this drama, especially that expression of hers when she asked Yu Tu to beat that Su Lie when she lost out while playing Luna. JJ’s(Raba) so mischievous yet obsequious while dealing with YT’s(Yang Yang) almost nonchalant demeanor while they were gaming. It’s funny to watch and the chemistry between the leads is just awesome! I don’t want to share so much. Watch it! Oh and I am loving the OST so much. :)

Very good production

This drama is very similar with novel, acting and chemistry YangYang & Dilraba is very good, visual effect also very good. Overall it's very good production. About gaming scene, it also include in novel because it's the reason female lead reunion with her first love (male lead) after 10 years so it took so much in drama, but it definitely less after they participated in tournament. The gaming scene is looks interesting with good visual effect so I like it because eventough I'm not a gamer but I have playing Mobile Legend with very similar with Honor of King, so I'm understand when watching those scene

Unbiased review... [It gets better starting with episode 8]

Typically the people who like Chinese romcoms, like a lot of fluff, which btw, there's nothing wrong with that. I prefer romcoms with mature characters and realism (I think this drama maybe up my alley). I am not into Chinese romcoms but am open to watching them if the male and female leads have acted in Chinese historical/period dramas that I like. Before I get started with my review, it's important for me to mention that I rarely rate dramas a perfect 10, unless the drama has meaning behind the storyline, or it's well produced & written without loopholes in the script.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
‣ ‣ Review for episodes 1-8
To be honest, I was bored watching the first 4 minutes of the drama. I was waiting for something super exciting to happen because of the background music. The background music was giving me the movie Armageddon vibes. While I was waiting, I noticed how attractive the male lead is. Then I saw Dilraba Dilmurat, and let's be honest, she's the main reason why I am interested in watching this drama, but her face looked paper white (I don't like the whitening filter, it's weird). Within the first 10 minutes of the drama you can basically predict what will happen in the whole series. Towards the end of episode 1, I was pumped, excited, and ready for more (as if I were a gamer lol).

The pros thus far (for people like me, who do not like fluffy romcoms) is:
•That the female lead does not do aegyo/sājiāo, and her character isn't clueless (thus far, atleast).
•Besides aegyo/sājiāo, I almost always hate the overly dramatic slow motion side effects in dramas, and when the female lead is clumsy and falls on top of the male lead and then we are shown the slow mo of the fall, 5 times from 3 different angles. You will not be seeing that in this drama, thank goodness! Within the first 5 episodes, there's only two slow mo moments; one in episode 3 for like 3 seconds, and another in episode 4 (nothing too dramatic).
•Also, I love the fact that the female lead is totally upfront with the male lead in episode 3, which is shocking to see in Chinese romcoms.
•In the first episode the scriptwriter explains how to play the e-sport game, which is really cool. This is the second esports romcom that I've watched, so I am not sure whether or not that is common.
•I like the screen quality/resolution.
•Oh yeah, the supporting male actors (the gamers) are pretty handsome too.
•I like the female lead manager; the manager is not controlling (not toxic), and she works while her husband stays at home and takes care of the household (and he doesn't complain while doing so).
•Lastly, I can relate to this drama because I am in my early thirties and I also had a quarter-life crisis. I quit my high paying job in tech, and basically started all over again, intentionally choosing to make 50% less than what I was making in my 20's. Also, although I knew the following quote, quoted in episode 4 towards the end, is true, it wasn't until this year that it basically became my motto: "The most foolish fantasy is the misconception that you can change a person."

NOTE: I actually disagree with some of the reviewers about there not being chemistry between the leads. Those who like Chinese romcoms tend to want to see what they've always seen, which is the male lead falling in love with the female lead at first sight. For me, that is not believable, and those relationships tend not to last long in real life. This drama has two lead characters who are in their 30's, thus they are taking their time getting to no one another as 30 year olds tend to do. My con written below regarding the chemistry is about the pacing, and not the chemistry itself. I also disagree with some of the reviewers about the male lead acting (my review is unbiased, as I don't think I've ever watched another drama of his). The male lead character is a freaking engineer for goodness sake LOL. If you ever met or worked with an engineer, you would know the reason why his character is the way that it is. Engineers who are men, tend to only talk a lot when it pertains to their work, and they tend to be introverted (not all, but most). Additionally, the male lead is having a quarterlife crisis, and is going through a transition in his life, so just think about how you would be if you were in his shoes.

The cons thus far is:
•That the female lead character (not the actress Dilraba Dilmurat) has an eating disorder. Within the first 4 episodes her weight is mentioned at least 4 times, and she's a size US 0/1. [read more: https://greatist.com/health/disordered-eating#signs-and-symptoms]. I know that her character is an actress, but it's not okay for actresses and actors to have eating disorders so they can fit into a toxic beauty standard.
•Also, between episodes 2 and 3 I didn't really like the pacing, it moved too fast and left little time for character development. I want the chemistry between the female and male lead to be built in a way that we can understand why they like one another.
•Lastly, the female lead keeps calling the male lead a narcissist, and making light of it as if dating a narcissist is a good thing. The male lead character is not a narcissist, and trust me folks, you do not want to be in any kind of relationship with one [read about narcissistic personality disorder by visit the following link: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662]

I am def. going to continue to watch, hopefully I will be able to keep watching it to the end (I tend to drop Chinese romcoms before episode 6). I will add an additional review below this line, after I've finished watching the episodes as they are released and subbed.

‣ ‣ Review for episodes 9-13
•I really enjoyed episode 9, specifically the first 11 minutes because it highlights values within the Asian community that may need to be revised. I understand the need for filial piety, but I think filial piety without holding elders accountable is dangerous to one's mental health. Thus, I believe it is leading the younger Asian generation to commit suicide, because in addition to having the expectation of being totally loyal to their parents and grandparents, they have to compete in a ruthless society. The way that Asian elders lived back in the day (without technology, typically in homogenous societies, typically in patriarchal societies, etc), differs greatly from how Asian youth live nowadays. Unfortunately, in my community (I am not Asian), we have the same values but perhaps it's not as regulated. In my community, we are expected to take physical, verbal, and mental abuse from our parents and seniors just because they are older. That is dangerous because older people learn that they can abuse their power and authority without having to change, and the younger generation will be like the older generation once they become older.

this series is ordinary compared to all modern Chinese series

There was one thing in the series that I really liked, and that was the restaurants in the series that were decorated like houses. And luxurious and aristocratic to the extent that the restaurant's private rooms resemble Victorian reading rooms and libraries. Really interesting and unique. Especially the private room of the restaurant where Yuto went with his teacher, it seemed to take me to the writings of Jane Austen.
It was interesting because I had never seen this type of restaurant before

Is it a good series or not? To be honest, computer games are not very popular with the audience of some countries, but it seems that China is very interested in it and is constantly trying to make different stories with this theme and attract a large audience.The 15th and 16th episodes are all on the phone and the game scene is included minute by hour in the series text, I think it will confuse the viewer, but I think they will enjoy it.

Of course, this series is ordinary compared to all modern Chinese series

Fluff for days

OVERALL
This drama is the perfect filler! Watch it if 1) you need something light and fluffy, 2) you're looking for romance with smexy scenes, 3) you dig a more slice-of-life style of drama (with no real storyline). If 1) you want to see a well-developed plot, love story and characters, or 2) you're craving an emotional drama, maybe skip.

THE STORY
I've been struggling to settle on a rating for this drama. To be honest, there is nothing really special or great about it. The characters are nothing out of the ordinary, the plot is nothing out of the ordinary (except the ML's job, that's kind of cool!), the script is nothing out of the ordinary. It's not a drama that will make you cry or die of laughter either. But it's definitely super cute and fun to watch, and I would have binged it all in one day if I didn't have to wait for the last 6 eps!

The Good: First, there is no annoying character in this drama. Literally NONE. No bothersome third-wheels, no overwhelming parents, no archenemies...nothing. Secondly, we get to see what happens after the wedding of the main leads (aka after the 'happily ever after'), and it's always cool when we see glimpses of life after the ceremony. Thirdly, the drama really doesn't go cheap with OTP love scenes. Lots of cute, funny, smexy scenes between the leads - especially in the last third of the show, which is the best part, in my opinion. Lastly (and most importantly), this drama's is one of those that give good role models. We have two people who not only like each other but support each other's careers, even if it means that they don't get to hang out that often; that they're really busy and dedicated to their jobs. At first it doesn't seem like a major part of the show, but it gradually becomes clear that it is, and I honestly lived for it. Nobody should have to compromise their dreams for marriage. I think they're my new relationship goal haha

The Bad: I never thought I would say this, but I didn't like how there's almost nothing bad going on in this drama. The OTP always get what they want and almost never have to sweat for it. No hard obstacles to overcome, no relationship (or individual) growth, NOTHING. It makes the drama feel kind of...empty. I guess that's why I just couldn't be that emotionally invested in the story. Another big flaw in this drama is the lack of relationship development. It's never clear why FL fell for ML in high school, it's not clear why she falls for him in the present, and it's not clear when (or why) ML falls for FL in the present either. Flashbacks are useless to give us the backstory of their high school days, and while the leads spend plenty of time together before they become an item, we just see them playing video games. We don't see them falling in love. Which leads me to the third thing I didn't like about this show: the emphasis on appearance. It looks like the drama's answer to all the above holes in the plot is 'oh, but ML is SOOOO handsome!'. It's true (he is), and it's also true that looks matter (unfortunately haha), but looks shouldn't be the foundation for love. Even the FL's looks are emphasized to explain why ML likes her. There are a few other flaws here and there (eg. characters keep coming and going, and they're never mentioned again), but they're small compared to these three.

By the end, I would say that the good outdoes the bad, but only because the last third of the drama is SO cute, it makes up for the bad and how 'meh' the drama felt in the first two thirds haha

THE ACTING
Okay, I guess...I think Yang Yang and Dilraba did well with what they were given, considering both of their roles are cliché and don't have much depth. The only thing is, the chemistry is on and off between them. In some scenes you can feel it a lot; in others, I legit felt pulled out of the fiction when I saw them together (like they reminded me it was all an act). Also, all second leads were pretty unimpressive to me, but they barely have the chance to show much.

THE MUSIC
Not my style, but nothing distracting or annoying.

REWATCH VALUE
Pretty high! Like I said, it's the perfect filler. It's all good stuff, no drama, so it'll be perfect to rewatch in between heavier shows or when there's nothing good on the horizon.

Love It

Put both Yang Yang & Reba together you have one of best CP visual which was one of the main attraction for me, secondly I love the book.

The drama following very closely to what was written by GuMan and this is a blessing for those of us that enjoy the book alot.
Good editing so far and the pacing of the drama is really good for me, while the romance is yet to be really built up, you can feel the soft attraction in between the lead. Not leaving behind the supporting cast, this drama actually have very good supporting cast, and add them all together made the story and plots even more prefect.

YY definitely improve, he definitely convince me that he had molded himself into YuTu, while for Reba I felt like she is just being herself in JingJing's shoes which I love.

I'm not sure about you guys however I will definitely stick to this drama to the end.

Does Male lead has only one expression?Female lead acting is far better than the male lead.

Dilraba Dilmurat acting is far better than the Male lead, maybe she got good role. But the male lead has only one expression always sad and gloomy. He looks handsome but that doesn't save drama. His character is very boring ,but female got very good character. She is funny and cheerful. Drama is already half completed ,but there is no story development. almost 12 episodes based on playing video game only. I am unable to connect to the male lead that he is a scientist, but he is so good at video games. come on writer should have put more efforts on aerospace than the video game. any way this is purely based on my view. Don't take this review personally. If you are a fan of main leads you can give it a try.
