Avatar game comes online on screen

The premise of this series is rather simple - Lin Zheng Zheng goes into VR game to rescue her boyfriend, Tu Si Yi who was stuck due to a mishap. However, what makes her rescue mission less simple, and thus a lot of room for laughter, is how her boyfriend has lost his memory and truly believe the VR world is his home. Not only that, he thinks she is his enemy.

I rated this series as high as 7 mostly for its comedic element. However, don't think too critically for a series that doesn't take itself too seriously for the most part. Perhaps because it is a the story centered in a VR world, the plot isn't very consistent. But perhaps also because it is in a VR world, I am able to close one eye on the inconsistency of plot hole. There are also some fillers here and there, which I feel, mostly to callout the cliché troupe of rom-com genre. I start to see a pattern of C-drama series incorporating the "break the 4th wall" narrative lately - while it is something I can appreciate now, I am not sure how I would feel later down the road if it becomes another common plot device.

Chemistry wise, the main leads are alright. They also manage to find a comrade and complementary skillset in their supporting cast - which makes some part of the plot feels like an adventure wuxia series, given the backdrop of ancient "game" world.
