Review:

by WhiteLilly of mydramalist

          "Truth be told, I am not the biggest fan of pure romance, but here it got me. I will probably rewatch this many times.

          Do you know the meme—face, which pukes a rainbow? Well, imagine it with puking a stream of pink hearts—that would be me watching this drama. It's embarrassing, but I will admit to it.

          I give this drama a 10, because it deserves this in terms of romance. You can scratch the whole side-plots (of which aren't too many around) and still have an awesome couple.

What this drama doesn't have and I didn't miss either:
1) Misunderstandings between the couple
2) Second-lead-syndrome
3) Evil mother-in-law or alike
4) over-the-top dramatic circumstances like amnesia, murder, sickness etc.

What this drama has:
1) A handsome, cool, intelligent, competent, polite male lead, who does - let's face it - all the right things which no man in reality can live up to
2) A female lead, that manages to be clever, polite, witty, modest but self-assured and lacks the typical submissive side, which I so often dislike in Asian dramas
3) Some cool and funny supporting characters, that have genuine connections between each other
4) Minor tensions that are resolved easily and in a superior way by the main couple
5) All the bullies get their mouths stuffed right away, which is just SO satisfying
6) Some ear-reddening kiss-scenes...

          This truly is a drama to romantically relax. It doesn't have the nerve-wrecking plot-twists that we all know and just want to get over with. Instead, we see a believable and perfect love-story and since it doesn't aspire to be more than this, it hits the mark.

          The only thing I missed from about episode 20 onwards were the scenes from the game, but since they moved the relationship to real life, it happens fluently.

I have to admit, I fast-forwarded some of the side-story, just because I couldn't wait for main stuff happening, but I see this as a plus."

My note: This was the most recent drama that I have finished and I totally enjoyed it. Love O2O isn't the first Chinese drama that I have watched, but so far, this is the best one for me. The story is really light and refreshing. Moreover, the main leads are really attractive, especially Yang Yang. I fell in love with him while watching the drama. I'll give this a perfect score if you want to ask me how refreshing this drama is. I think hopeless romantic gamers would also love this show!

My Rating: 10.0

Mydramalist Rating: 8.8
