Love O2O
Love O2O (Currently Available on Netflix and Viki)
(Note: There is also a movie of this show which is on Netflix that I would highly recommend as well)
My Rating: B+ Character Glossary:
Bei WeiWei: Main Girl / Computer Major
Xiao Nai: Love interest/ Computer Major/ Company Owner
Erxi: Main Girls Best Friend
Cao Guang: The "competition"
Love O2Ois a really great show to watch when you want romance but not romantic drama. The great thing about this show is the fact that once they are together that is it, no one can split them apart. And that is a rarity in the romantic genre. Love 020 is about a computer major named Bei WeiWei who is one of the top players in an online game. After getting a divorce with her in game husband she is approached by the games top player Naihe and asked to get married.

OVERALL STORY: The story for this show is so intriguing. Probably because it is all external to the romantic storyline. The couple has to face company executives as well as problems within their own groups. They are trying to develop a new game and since it is a pretty legit design a lot of companies are after it. One company in particular is like hey how about we just steal the idea because Xiao Nai isn't stupid enough to sell the idea to us. But I love how we get scenes both in real life and in the computer game. I didn't think I'd like the game scenes but as the show went on they became some of my favorite moments. I mean the main dude is so kick butt and watching them fight together is pretty great. I thought the plot developed nicely and everything ended up the way it should. A very satisfying story.
MAIN COUPLE: Like previously mentioned above they have NO DRAMA between them. Which is so great because I think it would have ruined the story. I love how romantic he is. And he is all like "I've never been in a relationship before" and I'm like are you sure son? He must read a lot of romance books or something cause he is a real pro. He pulls all these moves and I am continually impressed by it. And I love how she supports him. I mean they are just such a great couple in their dynamic and attitudes. They trust and love each other and that never changes. Do you know how great that is?
OTHER COUPLES: The other couple that is explored a bit in this show is Erxi and Cao Guang. I didn't think I'd like it because Cao Guang annoyed me but it was actually pretty cute. Although I was a bit upset that you know he stabbed her in the game. Crap move dude. But that open ending with them in the end was SO promising. I really did like seeing him fall for her and move on (Like he should have done as soon as the main girl rejected him but I digress)
BEI WEIWEI: If there is one thing I love about her it is how direct she is. When Cao Guang shows some interest in her (after she sassed him for not fact checking) she tells him straight off that she is not interested in him and never will be. It is kind of nice to see a girl who is so straightforward yet nice. I don't know how she does it but she does and it is pretty great. She was such a great main character being determined and sweet.
XIAO NAI: He is the king of patience and control. I mean I am continually impressed with how often he kept it together. He is such a good person and treats everyone so well (well he is a little awkward and that might come off as a little rude but that's not important) He was an amazing boyfriend and such a great friend. Yet he would not back down from a fight. He would coolly and calmly take you down. He is someone to aspire to.
ERXI: She was super cute. I loved her innocent perspective on things and yet she got a lot of growth as a character. That innocence stays but it is tempered by reality. A lot of things occur for her and she gets hurt. And from that hurt I felt like she grew and became better. She annoyed me a little when she blamed the main girl for something that really wasn't her fault but she was hurt so I guess I get it.
CAO GUANG: This guy really can't take a hint. I mean a girl told him "it's never gonna happen" and he's like I just have to keep pushing and then she'll like me. That's really not how it works. I am not against a guy actively pursuing someone like, for example, Daoming Si from Meteor Garden. She was not interested in him for the first part of the show but he kept pursuing her in a relatively respectful way. He never gave up but if she had been as direct as Bei WeiWei had been to Cao Guang I think we would have a different story. Cao Guang is not a bad guy so don't get me wrong. He just had a lot of growing up to do.
