Love O2O (2016)

Very cute rom-com

This show is super wholesome, sweet, and romantic. Looking for a show without a lot of melodrama, just the chance to watch the main couple be cute together and hang out with their fun friends? Then Love O2O is for you!

The plot revolves around two college students who meet while playing a popular computer game and quickly fall in love IRL. The main couple's chemistry is pretty cute and fun to watch. They also have a great group of friends. IMO the second FL and ML aren't as compelling; the 2FL can get a little annoying although her character does grow over time.

A lot of the show's first half takes place inside the video game that the leads play while the second half takes place more in real life. In addition to the romance plot, there's a parallel storyline of the main ML trying to get his video game start-up off the ground, which is pretty entertaining to watch, too. There are a couple villains, but they're generally pretty tame. In fact, compared to other C-dramas where the villains are always stirring up misinformation, these ones mostly just pout in the corner, lol.

I would recommend this show as a very light and wholesome watch :)

Mediocre but worth watching

One of the dramas i watched while writing my thesis. It is very bland and honestly misses a lot of the points i wanted it to cover. When i first discovered this i thought it was more of a “powerful I.T. Girl breaking the social norms” in a way. However the actual story is not at all related. The main character wei wei, is definitely an intelligent girl however I don’t think that it was presented well enough in the drama. Although she has excellent grades as well as infinite scholarships but other than the obvious nothing else really points to her being smart. During her internship in the ML’s company she barely did any work, she just took care of them gave them sleeping space etc. There’s no drama in the story almost at all. Some were started but always shut down by xiao nai as soon as it happens which makes it boring. I gave the drama a rewatch value of 10/10 just because i think its great to listen do while doing things. It’s boring enough top not make you focus on it but also good enough to make you not really want to leave your seat therefore i watched it while writing my essay.

The acting... I don’t know what to say, in some part it was brilliant but some it just felt so fake. I thing both the ML and FL are great actors (especially Zheng shuang) as i have seen their other shows. Maybe they were just too shy on set. However i do know that the FL was and probably still is suffering from a eating disorder so it must’ve affected her performance.

I like the show quite a lot but i feel like a lot of people will dislike it. I believe it is worth it to at least give is a fighting chance. I have also read the book which i highly recommend if you understand Chinese (not sure if they’ve translated it yet)

"A drama you can never get old of"

I don't often watch romance dramas since many of them contain naive or weak-willed girls. When love O2O the movie came out, I watched it and liked it a lot since the idea and packaging was amazing. It contained fluffy romance, a smart female lead, good acting, gaming and a bit of action. So when the drama came out I had much anticipation. Those anticipation's was met The actors played their roles well. Although the female lead was a bit awkward at times, I still fell in love with her and the cast. She was hardworking and smart. This drama also sparked a interest for Yang Yang, as I began watching more of his other dramas. The romances was the right amount. And the chemistry between the main couple was amazing as well. As you watch more, the more you will get attached to the cast and characters. This a drama worth watching if your new to romance and defiantly worth re-watching.

I don't know what catches my attention to this but I must say this is the reason I fall in love with Yang Yang :D hahahaha

The story is really Good. Even though it is a cliché' story of boy-meets-girl college student in this modern day but what makes the movie /drama the script, characters and the celebrities playing the role. The actor is Good. The actress, there are some scene that I don't like her acting. Maybe because that is the character that she have to portray. I don't know and I'm not a professional to criticize.

But overall is a Good one. I even re-watching it sometimes. And even the soundtrack is on my Spotify playlist :)

Why do people like this so much???

Had written a review previously but I gave up due to the word count I had to hit but I'm so angry with this show that I'm sitting myself down to give it a piece of my mind.

The starting was fine, it was quite interesting that the FMC was a computer major with such good looks. Then, the reason MMC falls for FMC was like beyond stupid. He didn't even say that it's because she's pretty as well or what. It was just that he was super impressed with the way she plays the game like r u fucking kidding me.... go date the top player in the game then wtf? Absolutely nothing about her character/personality that he fell for. The drama that surrounds them is absolutely superficial and things I would ignore if it happened to me. Who the fuck cares if they don't believe that she's luwei wei wei in game. Then the MMC picking her up from that event when someone shouted about the FMC being unfaithful in-game. His response was the lamest shit ever. THEN in the car he said something about how it's ok for her to cheat on him, he'll just make her regain faith. i find this whole entire show completely nonsensical. The only exciting part was vince zhang or wtv, hacking their damn system or wtv. That was the highlight of the entire series. yup. That's how boring,naive, shallow and just stupid this entire show is.

The main issue of this drama is the acting. He's a robot and she's a cold board that sometimes uses a cute facial expression, but that's it.
The story says she's some kind of genius, but besides studying a lot and being good at a videogame, no proof of her intelligence has been found yet. I can't even describe the guy, he just stays there and looks good, being cool, cold-hearted or whatever.
Even their love story is awkward: they pass from online to offline dating without a reason...? I mean, c'mon. They barely spoke to each other during the first live encounter and for the majority of time was a monologue inside the girl's head. They said multiple times that what's matter is inside and not the beauty outside, still, they're together without really knowing each other? They spend the majority of their conversations talking about other people's matters.
Their relationship is based exactly on what? No idea, really.
The only characters that bring a little smile on the viewer are the three roommates of the guy.
For the rest, it was painful to watch.

Surprisingly terrible for how highly rated it is

It’s rare for me to drop a drama this far in, but I simply cannot make myself slog through any more of this. The show is what it is and I don’t expect anything will change.

There is very little plot here, and it’s straight up boring. But worse than that are the characters. The FL is set up as some genius rockstar gamer girl, but absolutely nothing on screen supports that. She is naive, simpering, weak-willed, and easily pushed around. The ML is supposed to be the campus hot guy, but he is essentially a block of wood. He displays little emotion other than arrogance, condescension, and occasional rye amusement at how silly his girlfriend is.

The main actress also seems quite uncomfortable performing intimate scenes (or she was directed to be that way, who knows). The kisses are ridiculous to watch - the lead actor is actually trying to perform passionate kisses (and is quite good at it) while the actress stands stockstill and pinches her lips together tightly, looking like she can’t wait to get out of there.

There were some side characters and potential romances that I was mildly interested in, but they didn’t get enough screen time to keep me going. If you want a modern cdrama romcom with video game elements I suggest watching You Are My Glory instead.

Não é o melhor dorama já feito.

Sinceramente, eu comecei a assistir isso muito animada, pois segundo a sinopse, a história se passa no mundo dos videogames, porém, acabei me decepcionando um pouquinho, não era exatamente o que eu esperava.
PONTOS POSITIVOS:
- A história é até boa em certo sentido, o casal principal se mantém estável e são um exemplo de "casal perfeito", que só existe na ficção mesmo.
- Os casais secundários não são muito explorados, mas eles realmente não eram muito interessantes.
- Há um casal homossexual, não é exatamente explícito por ser um dorama chinês, mas a gente entende que aquela relação é algo mais.
- A trilha sonora é ok
- A atuação pode não ser a melhor do mundo, mas não atrapalha na compreensão dos personagens.
PONTOS NEGATIVOS:
- A história mesmo sendo boa como eu falei, não tem grandes empasses com o casal principal e nem um suspense ou tensão realmente empolgante, nada que te impressione muito sabe?
- Existem muitos momentos e cenas desnecessários, e muitas coisas bestas que idolatram o personagem homem, personagem esse que apesar de "perfeito", educado e respeitoso com a garota, é muito desinteressante, não é um personagem que você se apega. A menina é mais interessante, mesmo que não tanto.
- A personagem principal não parece ser uma mulher de grandes ambições, o que é decepcionante, já que no início ela se mostra bastante inteligente e experta, mas ela não foi nada explorada no lado acadêmico, mesmo quando seu par romântico poderia tela chamado para fazer algo pela sua empresa, ele não chama e ela continua sendo apenas a esposa do chefe. Eles até tentaram colocar uma cena onde ela mostra que não é por ser mulher que é burra, porém, levando em conta o resto, foi bem irrelevante e bobo.
- Eu particularmente não gostei da humilhação que uma das amigas da principal passa, pois fica evidente que parece que TUDO gira em torno da garota principal, e que todos os garotos se apaixonam por ela mesmo não podendo tela, o que é irritante pois essa amiga dela sofre muito e tecnicamente é por causa da garota principal (mesmo que ela não tenha culpa por ser muito bonita ou algo do tipo), e a série faz a principal ser coitadinha na maior parte do tempo, o que as vezes pode ser irritante.

Acho que o grande ponto para eu ter dado essa nota baixa é a falta de realidade na série, e também o fato do assunto jogos ter se perdido em vários momentos. Temos um casal e pessoas que parecem irreais de mais, nem por dificuldades eles passam, é irritante. PORÉM, eu assisti até o fim pois muitas vezes acaba por ser fofinho, e eu queria saber o fim. Se você procura um dorama mais tradicional e sem muito assuntos polêmicos ou atuais, ele é pra você. Eu indico, mas não julgo se você não quiser terminar de vê-lo.
