Watch this for Recommendation Challenge month of Feb 2024. Long time hestitate to watch this one cause not too fond of shooting game.

This drama told story about struggle of 2 young man in their own time. The struggle of achieving dream when no one believes in them. The story of friendship between teammates. The story of persistent did bear fruit. And overall just the story about how beautiful youth is. Haha...

As usual there's bad & good thing about this drama. But some weird plot make me have to lower the score of this drama. And there're a little bit spoiler in the weird plot. So save review first..

What i like about this drama:
+ The friendship. The friendship between the member of one coin team & continue team.
+ The fighting spirit that Xiao Feng (XF), Lu Xiao Bei (XB) & Chu Ge (CG) have
+ They use the actor themself to play the inside game. A little interested to see how it unrevealed...
+ The slow & silly growth relationship betwen XF - An Lan (AL) & XB - CG. Especially XB & CG, really typical teenage romance... :)
+ How to let go of ur ghost. Like XB finally let go the ghost of his brother & finally focus on himself. Or S + 1 to finally let go her online face & reveal her trueself.
+ The bad side of human. Human is indeed selfish. Like what Qi Lin & Xu Wei did.
+ The most reliable support always ur family. No matter how angry XB's parent to him, it's his dad that in the end help & support him
+ Finally another prove u can't change human fate... Like XB try to change his brother death, just to be proven once more u can't change what God already written in destiny book.

Overall i quite like this. The game, the plot quite interesting. But unfortunately they gave quite massive weird or hole plot that I can't turn blind eyes...









================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
================================

The weird plot:
- The game machine... Ugh... Really random & weird. Just create to trap XF. It's gonna be more interesting if XF trap inside the game where he & XB connected, instead just making new one...
- The inconsistency in memory. XB & XF a few time try to change something, like CG pendant. And the problem raise when in the future the pendant did back to CG, but she has no memory of it, it just like some magical thing she experience over night.
- The exit of Wang Kai. That's one of the most absurd thing happen in the whole drama. If they cut this plot we can have shorten episode...
- The sickness of S+1. I mean it's written half-baked. It's like they want to show how bad the effect of playing game too much, but it feel not give too much impact too... If they cut this plot too we can have even more shorten episode... Or they can use the 'erase' duration from the exit of Wang Kai to deepent this issue, like how to manage/balance it...
- How 'invincible' XF really are. Haha... He just wake up from 11 years coma, laying still in the bed. And he can instantly walking & eat anything he want. No physical therapy what so ever. Haha...
