Ok show with eye candy

For anyone a fan of Yang Yang (which I am) or Dilraba Dilmurant (which I am not) then you will enjoy the show. My feeling is that this is an OK drama. Everything was OK about it. The story was OK, the acting was what you would expect. The brightest spot is the two leads are good looking so that is something. I have to say this is the first show I have seen Dilraba in where she didn't annoy me. I actually stopped watching anything with her cause I find her acting so over the top cuts and annoying, she maybe she has gotten better. The pull of Yang Yang being in the show won me over.

The story is about an aerospace engineer, Yu Tu, who is going through a career crisis when we meet him. In leave he form a stressful job that pays poorly, ruins people's health, and doesn't;t allow for personal life. Qiao Jingling is a famous celebrity / actress who had a crush on Yu Tu in middle and high school, but he turned her down. As fate would have it she needs to learn how to play a video game and luckily Yu Tu is on leave from his job and happens to be a master gamer (not sure how since they imply they have very little free time - must be cause he is so smart). Te two reconnect but given their different lifestyles will it work out is the question. That is really it other than the two lead being cute, and there were some moments that made me laugh.

There are a lot of characters that show up in the drama for a little bit and then disappear never to be mentioned again, or they are brought back 10 episodes later and you forgot all about them. The parents of the two leads are mainly MIA, Yu Tu's mentor and co-worker Guan Zai is there for a bit and then mostly gone. I would have liked to seen more of him and his family. Normally I think dramas can get lost worrying about other characters besides the main story, this one was the opposite - so focused on the main characters that the other characters are not interesting or if they are they leave you wanting more information.

The acting was fine, Yang Yang did a good job with Yu Tu, he's very smart and gifted but also a little world weary I would say it's a grown-up version of his Love O2O character. His acting was fine nothing earth shattering. As I stated at least Dialraba Dilmurant didn't;t annoy me as much as normal, s I would say her acting was better. I found some of the other cast more interning and the actors were all good - from Yu Tu's colleagues to Qiao Jingling's manager and assistant.

If I had to give my feelings in one word it would be the drama was OK, nothing extraordinary but worth a watch.
