Love O2O (2016)

Love O2O is an enjoyable, light-hearted, healthy romance where, for once, the main couple doesn't start off on the wrong foot. The word "drama" must be applied very loosely to this show because there is hardly any drama at all that isn't resolved within the same episode. The show is especially good for when you need something uplifting and mindless.

Being critical, this is not my normal kind of show and I must admit that I don't particularly want to watch another one like it, but this one, on its own, was fine. The main couple is boring apart from Yang Yang's character having a cringey sense of humor. The two leads are simply too perfect and bland to care about apart from their looks.

The supporting cast steal the show, particularly Niu Jun Feng as Yu Ban Shan and Zheng Ye Cheng as Hao Mei. Also, I found myself wishing the Rachel Mao's character Er Xi was the female lead. She was way more interesting despite being annoying half the time. That being said, I did watch until the very end.

this is the most annoying , trivial, childish shallow drama i've ever seen

i couldn't make it
i couldn't keep on watching this rubbish
i started watching it on FF button from ep.07 hoping it's going to be better if i skipped the games parts but that doesn't happen it goes worse

WHAT'S BAD ABOUT THIS DRAMA

1. it's totally about marketing for internet games and they trying to persuade watchers how internet games are useful and great and how the virtual reality is much more useful and better than realistic life
which is totally wrong and bunch of lies
all what you have to do is just seeing kids in schools and how these games affect them in a very harmful way

2. this drama for age 10-15 not more
3. no plot
4. very bad acting away from being natural with totally dead face expression
5. 3/4 the drama inside a repetitive scenes inside the game and outside it
6. the romance was very cold
7. very very very slow pace and boring
8. very detailed in an unnecessary and annoying way
9. i lost my interest totally in ep.15
10. EACH SCENE COULD TAKE MORE THAN 25 SEC. WHICH WAS SUPER BORING AND ANNOYINY
it really gave you the feeling that each scene will last forever, too long with no need
11. i jumped many eps. direct to the end and i missed nothing

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS DRAMA

literally NOTHING -_-
TOTAL WASTE OF TIME
doesn't recommend at all
i really couldn't believe myself it took that high rate
it's sooooooooooooooooooo overrated

WARNING: STALKING IS NOT LOVE!

One of the worst drama i've ever watched. I give 5.5 only because of Zheng Shuang, the only good thing in this drama. The plot is cute, but the development is totally bad and it results in a toxic story.
In 2019 Zheng Shuang said in an interview she dislikes Wei Wei's character, because she's not someone to whom is possible to relate to, and i have to say she's totally right. The drama miss every point, first of all the feeling of security, like a comfort zone. The main leads have no chemistry at all ( and in my opinion, Yang Yang's portrayal is one of the worst, he's not even so handsome like the movie actor). Their relationship felt forced and stiff. The couple is cold and distant.
XiaoNai is too robotic an mechanical, without any feeling for her. He's clearly not interested in her. And it's creepy the " we are married in the game, so we are dating in real life" thing. He's more like a maniac stalker catching a prey. Every support character is so annoying, but in this drama each characters acts like a 12yo despite being 20-22 yo and college students. It's full of superficiality and toxicity.
XiaoNaoi is the most overrated character, without a reason. He's a robot with no emotional depth, he's arrogant, stiff, idiot, chauvinistic and bossy in a bad way. He literally treats her like an objet. The affection seems forced. Two people that had absolutely no chemistry with each other. Love? Cute? Where? They literally didn't even date, it was a creepy and awkward " we got married in the game, so we are a married couple".
I will never recomment this drama, i would rather recommend the movie, it's way healthier than this.

I have already watched this a second time and I must admit the second time was just as enjoyable as the first one.

The story is very sweet - maybe a bit predictable - but I think the drama is well done and therfore I don't mind that. I like that it is about a computer game and I like that there's both a mix of in game and real life stories in the drama as I think the characters get more depth that way.

I really like the characters and how Wei Wei and Xiao Nai are around each other and around their friends, whom I find very enjoyable to watch as there is some funny scenes.

The music is sometimes a bit weird but I will admit that it also made me smile sometimes as it just made some scenes more fun to watch.

Another thing I found a bit weird are the kissing scenes, but after I read the novel I understand why they happen like that a bit more.

All in all I really love this drama and I can't stop smilling through all 30 episodes! You can't help but get in a good mood by watching it - therfore the high rating.

My thoughts about the drama: (Kinda spoil?)
1. It is a light drama
I can say that this story is a veryyy light drama! It will easily to be solved. I only feel hurt when it is on the last episode because its the LAST episode!! you know what I mean? hehe This drama is good for the people who are fond of light drama, I will recommend this for you
2. Healthy Relationship
These couple don't show fights with one another, they tend to talk about it properly if they have a problem. They livin in a mature relationship. In short they are the "COUPLE GOALS" .
3. Strong lead characters
No matter Bei wei wei been bullied either the game or in her real life, she is very strong and don't afraid to stand up on her own! It gives me a savage!! My favorite scene is on episode 22. I don't want to spoil about it haha!
4. Healthy friendship
Aside from healthy relationship, both the female lead and the male lead friends is a friendship goals!
5. I can say that this will also be a fantasy drama
why? this male lead... gosh it is so impossible to get this guy! Like its very impossible in the reality, this guy is what girls wants haha! He is too perfect haha! It will lead girls to have a high standards. (like me) HAHAHAHAH

It's been years I finally know the title of this drama series HAHAHA I saw this drama on facebook only on scenes on how beiweiwei handle the people who bullies her and I just loved it! I've been searching what title on the series, at first I thought it was a kdrama haha!

While watching, I don't feel loved at first in the first few episode when I get continue watching, I get hooked into it because of strong attitudes of the main leads I loved it! On the first few episodes, to be honest, I skipped in seconds hehe! because I want to see the most exciting part. While reading the reviews, they said they don't like much of their acting and which is true, they need improvement but I just don't care about it, I just focused on the story. They also need improvement in the graphics while they are in the game scene, I also saw the reviews that they also don't like that they only focus on the game not on reality but still I didn't mind it at all. I love the music and I get familiar their music it reminds me of "High School Love On". I will not going to rewatch it, maybe I will only rewatch their savage scenes haha! Overall I enjoyed it! For those want to know the ending is good, yeah! it's a cute ending!

Review of "Love O2O"

- This was my first C-Drama and my first drama in genereal and boy am I glad it was!!! This really hit it off with me. I mean, the reason I came to love strong female leads is because of Wei Wei. She is so confident and elegant but at the same time a total badass when the time comes and god I love her!!! Yang Yang was also my first drama crush. He was so damn handsome and sometimes he would say something that was supppsed to be cringey and mushy but it just sounded so smoothe and nice coming from him.
- The soundtrack was just amazing, and that's coming from someone who usaually lets the soundtrack fade away until it basically just becomes background music. It had this eretheal feeling to it and just made the whole series better to enjoy.
- Usually I'm not a re-watcher, mostly because since I have already seen the show that I know all the twists and turns and love affairs, but for this series I have re-watched this at least 2 times.
- Overall, it was a great startoff drama and I am forever grateful to netflix for putting this in my reccommended.

Romance over storyline and a Mary Sue as well

A lot of people had good things to say about this drama and while I am not one of them, it wasn't a horrible show. This show seems to value the romance over any actual storyline. Not an unpopular way to go, just not my favorite choice. I play MMORPGs and I was kind of excited to see where they went with this, but it wasn't very well done.

First off, the FL was boring and unimpressive. Other than the fact that she was supposed to be super pretty, she didn't seem to do anything that well. They did not focus on her intellect or achievements beyond the simpliest. She was a good player in the game, supposedly, but in the end had to be assisted by her boyfriend. It even made a point that she was better than her first in game husband but later she needs her new in game husband and boyfriend to do everything for her. Her dreams and asperations were not discussed. She didn't seem to be anymore impressive in school than her female counterparts, but still seemed to need help from her boyfriend and his friends. Are they all geniuses or do they just think men are naturally better than women at everything? Also, they kept talking about bullying a weak girl in the game, then why did they also keep talking about how men often played as women in the game and she was accused of being a man in real life? If you can't tell if it's a boy or a girl just by their character on the screen, then why talk about how it's bad to bully a girl in the game? That's just plain stupid and sexist.

A Mary Sue (very different from Mary Jane, in case you are wondering), is the type of character who is supposed to be so cool and awesome and wonderful, but then when you look at the actual story, they are just there to be acted upon instead of doing anything for themselves. Especially if there is a man around to help them. As soon as their boyfriend comes into the room, their brains drip out of their ears and they suddenly become useless as human beings and are only supposed to be eye candy. This is the FL of this drama in a nutshell. By the way, someone get that girl a sandwich. She's literally skin and bones. I was worried that she was going to die of malnutrition at any moment. The other girls in the drama are still thin and beautiful, but somehow manage to look more healthy. This FL was so thin, I was actually wondering if she had an eating disorder and needed to see a doctor. This beauty standard is really unhealthy. Also, the second FL, who is her best friend is supposed to be ugly ... they stated it several times, but she was far from. Why call someone ugly but get a beautiful girl to play the part? If she's supposed to be ugly, get a girl who isn't beautiful. If she's pretty, just don't bring it up and don't make a point of calling her ugly.

Okay, now to the ML. Oh my. Handsome, check. Smart to the power of ten, check. Perfect, we get it. Does he have to be so arrogant? He seems to think he can do no wrong and he's got the plot armor to prove it. Why not make him a real person? As a character, he didn't have any growth. He was the same, beginning to end. It was hard to relate to him at all. I've seen this actor in some other dramas and with the exception of "You Are My Glory," he was pretty much typecast. Okay, he was also typecast in "You Are My Glory," but he wasn't as wooden. He had flaws and worries and doubts. I could relate to him in that drama. In this drama, he was unrelatable. Smile once in a while. Laugh. Be sad and dishearted when things go wrong. Maybe have a goofy grin or lose a game and get upset once in a while. By the way, feed your girlfriend, she's starving.

I didn't really pay attention to the OST. Sorry, this one didn't really have anything great or anything bad. It was just middle of the road. Unimpressive but not distracting. Since I didn't love watching it the first time, I don't think it has a high rewatch value. Sorry, but for me, this drama just didn't meet my expectations. All of that being said, it was not a horrible show with no redeeming value. There are some funny moments. They was at least one time when the ML is talking to the idiot second ML and he asks if ML ever doubted FL. He said something like, of course, I didn't doubt her. She's my girl. While he did have plot armor, so he could say that with confidence, I did think that was pretty cool. If you doubt your girl, why are you dating her? So at least one redeeming moment in a sea of banality.

This is the first time I'm writing a review for a drama. I just had to write one because this drama amaze me on so many ways.

I usually watch more of Korean dramas but decided to give this drama a try when many of my friends were watching it. I didn't expect anything much because I never really watch a modern C-drama. At this point I've only watch the ones set in old time.

This is the first time where I've watch a drama with a plot like this, it was very interesting and it got me hooked right on the first episode, There was not cliches rich moms nor a super jealous and evil second lead but it still carry on and keep the audience interested in the plot. The editing for the game world was beautiful, the outfit was great.

Now onto the couple. Their chemistry super adorable, they got me feeling jealous that I don't a BF, watching them blessed my soul. The reason why I liked this couple is because they have trust in their relationship so there was nothing that could break them apart. Others drama that I've watched have so many misunderstanding between the couple, it got me frustated. They both are such a good looking couple.

I'm currently rewatching this drama again because it's so good. The only other drama that had this effect on me was Love in Tokyo and Reply 1988.

A cute C-Drama to start with!

This was my first c-drama back in 2016 and I have to say it's just one of the few dramas that I still love! In my opinion it was well-paced and really sweet, albeit I wish there were more bits and pieces about them being in-game in the later parts of the series since I'm a gamer myself.

It was really light to watch since the story was mostly smooth. Though if I had to nitpick it was pretty annoying that they had to dub over some scenes and it looked very out of sync, but most dramas do dubs anyway.

A pretty refreshing watch and easy to start out with if this is your first few times getting into modern C-Dramas. I liked the series so much I actually purchased the physical book for Love O2O :>
