🔢 Seasons/Episodes Covered

Season 1, Episodes 1-8

✨ Quick Spark

Tae Myung-ha, a 29-year-old, was transported into a virtual game as a 19-year-old. He was tasked to bring happiness to a seemingly-cold school athlete Cha Yeo Woon. To help him navigate this world was the innocent Ahn Kyung Hoon and the one who had a major crush on Myung-ha, Chun Sang Won.

🪝 The Hook

At first look, this is like any BL drama with two school boys that gets right into any BL fans’ fantasies. But once the episodes go by and especially towards the end, it became much deeper. It is a second shot in life for Myung-ha. Of course, the thing that made me stay and continue watching was the concept of a virtual game and Myung-ha having to work so hard to make Yeo Woon happy. While that was the mission of the game, eventually, Myung-ha was also at his happiest, with new found friends and falling in love.

🧪 Character Chemistry

We all have to admit that one of the factors for great chemistry is also looking good together. Lee Tae Vin and Cha Joo Wan definitely did. Both are absolutely adorable. Myung-ha couldn’t help himself from falling in love with Yeo Woon. And it’s so adorable watching him just fall for him no matter how much he tried not to. In turn, Yeo Woon knew Myung-ha cared for him and he tried his best to do what he could for Myung-ha. As much as Yeo Woon needed Myung-ha to give him hope, Myung-ha didn’t realize he needed Yeo Woon as much and he’s the person he wished for in his first life.

🚶🏽‍➡️ Pacing Check

It is just nice. Though maybe if it has an extra episode or scene or something to explain why Choi Jin Jo was the only one in that world who remembered Myung-ha when he disappeared, it would be better. There were lots of theories from the viewers but it would be good to have an explanation for it. Some theories was that she was his ex-girlfriend and from his previous life and the disappearance might not have an impact on her, but I don’t find that theory plausible. My own theory? Myung-ha did want her to take care of Yeo Woon so I’m guessing she had to remember Myung-ha because one of the reasons that Yeo Woon was happy was Myung-ha, which he himself didn’t realize.

✍🏽 Notable Mention

I just found out that Tae Vin is 30-years-old. Hello what? He looked so young that he looked unbelievable acting as a 29-year-old than a 19-year-old.
