Can't be the only one who's disappointed ? :(
Feels weird to write a bad review in between all those good ones, but I was kinda surprised that so many people see this drama so differently than me?
I must say that I've tried SO HARD to stick to this drama and did everything to adapt to it, but sadly I just didn't make it :( I haven't specifically followed this, but I know this is a much anticipated drama, and because the trailer and some BTS had have me hooked up right away, I thought I'd understand the hype.
... But no? Somehow something just didn't work for me. The acting was great, the production looked okay, the story partly seemed a bit cliché, but I didn't bother. I must admit that gaming isn't really my genre, but I thought it wouldn't be that tough if the story was great enough, and I found GGS(2) great, but here, I eventually started skipping some gaming scenes, because they just were sooo unnecessarily long?! That's also when I realized I needed to skip almost half of the Ep at times.
Speaking of the gaming scenes, that part of the story kinda made me feel uncomfortable. Those scenes imply them 2 together in person, much personal interaction and they contain many romantic peaks already, though they didn't even know the tiniest bit of who they were in real yet? And it didn't seem like they would start to very soon. So, speaking of the story, it kinda felt like a little betrayal to us viewers to maybe believe in their chemistry? Or to push the love story forward that won't happen too soon otherwise? Idk.
Other point, WHY they had to make ML's love rival an old man? :(( For better contrast because the ML's so young? As if a man in FL's age wouldn't have been enough for that, I think the whole setting stressed ML's & FL's age gap enough.
Last, the music. I didn't find it particularly bad, but it should've and could've been better, maybe just a bit more catchy or just more special and outstanding, considering it plays such an important role in the story? I know it's really subjective, but to me it's just not comparable to the OST's of Love is Sweet or GGS2.
I'm seriously considering jumping on the train again when they start dating to not miss the sweet scenes (which are the reason why I initially started to watch this). Guess I'll keep watching some previews on YouTube to make my final decision.
