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.
