A full 30 episodes, not to be confused with the short movie with the same name. Being a fan of K-Drama, unfortunately Chinese Drama never seems to compare by any means. One thing I noticed is that the C-Drama always has the lead male cast as Cold, aloof and emotionless. The lead Yang Yang plays those characteristics perfectly and in addition is handsome, cool, arrogant and a guy of few words. He usually talks in one small sentence only. Later, he does warms up in the series and begins to smile when he later gets involved in a romance. I felt he was the only one who made the series, along with a buddy named Mr. Girly who had personality. The lead female is cute however so thin that it makes me wonder how much they eat in China. I always check the lead's profiles after watching and am sorry to read the recent disturbing scandals on the lead that seems to have affected her career.
What makes this series unique is that that the online profile romances intertwine with real life at the University without knowing the profile names or who is even playing, at school. Of course there are surprises as online rivals get revealed and outed as different situations of real life come into play. The computer graphics of the gaming is excellent. Another cold and emotionless actor enters the arena known as KO, a top hacker. It again amazes that this profile type of coldness and scary stares seems to be the norm in China Dramas.
Product placement is always pronounced in C-Drama. In this case blatant promotion of name brand Jeep and HP Computers, but if you watch C-Drama, expect it, as they are not sneaky about it at all.
Alot of Chinese culture is promoted in the game developed and also during the whole series. It is interesting to learn more about Chinese culture however some of it is a bit disturbing that comes out such as discussion on "relaxation of the 1 child policy", and others.
The ending doesn't seem to match the episode description - what I saw seems to be a little different. I am a little confused as to the culture of a Chinese wedding - was there a short cut taken? Or is this the way their weddings are?
