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 .
