Too Juvenile to my taste...
Alright, I don't think this drama worth my time. But if I am on my teen, I would probably like it. It's too juvenile...you don't want to watch someone play games all the time and get credits for it. The guy has obvious nose...that can't help but noticing..sorry. The girl looks much older than the boys and apparent. I dropped it because nothing interest me that will get me to sit down and enjoy the drama. If the idea of playing games all the time will get you a girl and fame, that is lame, so I moved on seeking other dramas that worth my appreciation, the promotion picture looks favorable though. Note: Damn....I felt bad because my favorite guy Liu YuNing sang one of the OST 'You have me'...Cet avis était-il utile?

WHY THE F--K DO C-DRAMAS DO THIS??
I swear, the amount of times CDramas are ruined for me is when they infantalize the FL. She's supposed to be the "older" woman but she acted like a highschooler. Seriously... not only is she supposed to be like 30 years old or something and a famous singer too and yet she acts immature and like another reviewer stated, "coy allll the time." The only time the FL ever has a backbone is when she's facing a female rival because of course... let's be strong against bitchy women but weak with men. Put the FL back in front of the ML, and she's so lacking. I couldn't listen to her "baby" voice anymore.The side characters were so boring ... the love triangle was useless because the other dude wasn't really a contender. I don't know him as an actor but he definitely wasn't a good fit for the role. How are we supposed to be interested in the love triangle part when the SML looks so much older and unfortunately creepier? He looked like he could've been the FL's uncle. Ugh. I just couldn't get on board with him and his fashion. They should've had a real contender for the love triangle.
Another disaster was the SFL. Of course, she just can't move on with her life because of her ex. He's getting happily married and she's like, "I'm giving up my dream of being a drummer! I'm so upset he's getting married, I'm gonna crash my car and then get drunk!!" Wah wah wah... O.M.G!!!! Someone get this lady a "Wah-bulance"! Writers, I beg you all, stop giving women a bad name. It's 2023. No man, especially an ex, is worth a woman giving up her dreams for. Who wrote this crap of a storyline?Bejezus!! I felt sorry for the guy who kept chasing her. She clearly rebuffs him, consistently and constantly and he just didn't leave her alone. Why he liked her in the first place was beyond me.
And the ML... he carried most of the show but his roommates and classmates were also like a bunch of geeky highschoolers who couldn't even get their own gfs. I wished the ML actually left to study abroad because I was just tired of seeing him chase after the FL who wouldn't hear what he had to say but listened to everyone else. Ugh.
Anyways, I think this was geared towards a younger audience. I watched this on and off, hoping to finish it slowly but I just couldn't take it anymore.

O 9,5 mais difícil que eu já dei na minha vida
Depois de muitas horas questionando-me como eu poderia falar de Love Scenery, ainda me sinto meio sem palavras...É um romance que merecia 10 só pela história secundaria entre Shan Shan e Bin Yu, mas pela história principal eu tive que ponderar sobre o que escreveria aqui.
Não me levem a mal, não é como se eu tivesse planejado uma crítica, esse é um drama que vai facilmente te conquistar, por mais relutante que esteja. Entretanto, não é pra amadores, pode parecer leve, mas com certeza será uma montanha russa para algumas pessoas e o final vai parecer inconsistente e até apressado, como um trabalho muito bem desenvolvido ao longo de um mês, mas teve a data de entrega adiantada e teve que ser encurtado as pressas deixando algumas pontas e ideias para atrás. E olha que 31 episódios é um bom tempo para resoluções.
Isso não é exatamente culpa do enredo principal entre Lu Jing e Liang Chen - apesar de a protagonista ter colaborado para o 9,5 dessa review -, porém é na moldura principal que percebemos alguns dos defeitos.
Hoje não entrarei no mérito de falar das construções dos personagens, até para não dar spoilers pois é algo notório no desenvolver da trama e bem feito por sinal, mas devo alertar que se você, meu caro leitor, é uma pessoa que tende a analisar e comparar personagens, a Liang Chen, e quase tudo envolta dela, com toda certeza vai te incomodar e possivelmente te afastará do drama, por simplesmente não acompanhar a evolução proposta no enredo, a personagem se perde da metade em diante dos episódios e mesmo crescendo em alguns pontos, termina como uma adolescente de quase 30 anos.
Toda via, gostaria de terminar essa review recomendando Love Scenery, as atuações são ótimas, a ost não deixou a desejar, a história é cativante e refrescante, eu voltaria a assistir.
PS: se você está aqui pelo Lin Yi, talvez porque gostou dele como Gu Wei Yi e resolveu tentar Love Scenery... Eu desejo boa sorte e sinto muito, do fundo do meu coração, espero que um dia você consiga namorar de novo sem pensar "poxa, não é o Lu Jing".

Do yourself a favor and don't watch this.
on ep11 and gosh the plot is so lame and super dragggggggy. I skipped a bunch of scenes and watch 11 eps in 3 hours. I really don't get the purpose of the virtual romance scenes in this drama. Those make their interaction superficial and their so-called romance so fake, forced, incredulous, and utterly ridiculous. I find virtual skinship with a stranger online thoroughly unbelievable, much less romantic.On top of that, FL's character is more like that of a 13 years old, not 30. Dunno why she keeps embarrassing herself and acting all shy in front of ML. She's 30 and he's 21 for god's sake. She gave me severe secondhand embarrassment (¬_¬). I really dont like ML's cocky behavior and his hard-to-get play. What's even more unacceptable is that he snickered and smirked while looking amused after FL tripped and fell on her back, instead of showing concerns. I absolutely love Lin Yi as Gu Wei Yi in PYHOMS, but here he's in my list of the most despicable ML cuz he makes my blood boil.
TL;DR, this drama is overrated and overhyped with ridiculous plot and horrible character writing. Undoubtedly dropped.

A drama that makes you go きや！きや! (Kya! Kya!)
Be warned! you will be massaging your jaw from grinning ear to ear and/or your significant other may go きや！きや! through the series lol!There were too many flavours on this drama; so far, spicy, sweet, cheesy, bitter, salty, and much more!
After the 8th spoon, I was convinced to write a review lol
The Recipe was fresh, in my opinion, maybe because it's adapted from a novel, very easy to digest and light.
Seeing how it will be 31 episodes; I am just at the surface of it, not sure whether it has other surprises but I'll embrace the journey.
The chemistry was strong between the leads; sometimes, I wonder if they actually dating irl... I can feel a bit of Love O2O from it, maybe because it involves virtual gaming, idolization, and University life...
Some people may like the OST
With its storyline, this drama is perfect for someone that has a long-bad day, or a couple date night :)
having said that, although there maybe some loophole, don't over think it and you will enjoy the series

Very Frustrating!
This show had me hooked on the first episode. It's beautifully shot, I love the ML and FL. They both have their own lives and things going. ML is a genuinely nice guy, which is refreshing after watching so many dramas where the ML is an abusive ahole, this was really refreshing. I loved that the FL was successful in her career and didn't let anyone walk all over her. My issue was, this is about an internet romance and it was cute at first but 10 episodes in I feel like they are just spinning their wheels and just shooting variations of the same scenes over and over again, it's maddening.Every episodes shows them in the game world (which seems really convoluted) and worse when they cut to them looking at the computer monitor it's the SAME shot of the game lobby. They couldn't have invested in actually creating some sort of game for them to be shown playing? It was just jarring and weird. Then there's a scene of the ML in the dorm with his obnoxious roommates. But worse, every freaking episode there are at least 2 encounters where they are right next to each other and one of them is looking in the other direction or their view gets blocked by a billboard or something as the other walks by.
I'm going to skip to ep 15 and if they still aren't together than I'm just bailing. But I already know what's going to happen based on Ep 10. He heard the 2 ML call her assistant's name, so we'll probably go through 5 or 10 eps of "mistaken" identity where he will meet the assistant, thinking it's her. I have zero interest in slogging through that stupid plot line. I really HOPE they don't do it, there's nothing else going on in this show, so of course it's going to happen. Based on the first 10 eps, there is zero reason this show needs to be 32 episodes. NONE.
It's too bad because it has the potential to be a straight forward, sweet romance without too much drama and could have been if it was only 12 or 16 eps. As I said, I love the look of this production it looks like they really spent some money on it. The cinematography is beautiful, the FL outfits are really nice and befitting of someone that's supposed to be a super star attending the types of events she does and the ML and FL look good together. I also love the music in the first 10 eps it's easy to believe the FL is a music star. But they actually need to DO something other than just stand there looking pretty.
Update
So, I skipped to Ep 14 and they were still dancing around each other and pretending like they didn't know each other's "secret identity" so I bailed halfway through that episode. At least they didn't do the "mistaken identity" thing. I skipped to Ep 20 and that's when they finally made their love confessions and the series finally started to move forward again. I ended up watching all of the last 11 eps, even though I skipped all the side stories - the roommates, Taro/Ms Ma story, etc. All of that was just pointless. I saw in the comments that he finally meets her, F2F in Ep 11, but I didn't bother to watch that ep.
I liked that once they got together, they didn't split up and everyone was very supportive of their relationship once various people found out. Even the FL stalker older friend eventually bowed out once she rejected him. Refreshingly mature. Although the fact that he never told her how he felts was dumb, the guy looked like he was 10 or 15 years older than her and he was still scared to confess his feelings to a girl he likes? I really loved the FL/ML's parents and grand parents they were really cute together.
The music was fire and I loved all of the FL concert clips in the last 10 eps. As I said earlier, most shows that use Musicians as Idols skip over the concerts/music stuff. While the lipsyncing was terrible, you can believe the FL was a "Super Star." One thing I didn't get was she signed up for a music contest, I guess to artificially add some "drama" to the show (will her fans like her new song, will she win).
Several times they kept making it seem like her entire career was on the line if she picked the wrong song for some stupid "talent contest." She's not a newbie singer and already has an established career. Not to mention the series starts off with her being the first ever artist to win Best Artist and Best Album or something at some award show. She even got into a fight with her manager over it and was told her career would be over if she lost and I'm like, why? In the end she lost anyway and got 2nd place and everyone congratulated her, so all the drama a few eps prior to the end made even less sense.
This series did not need to be 31 eps. You can watch the first 5 Eps, skip to Ep 20, skip to Ep 25 until the end and you won't miss much. I saw in the comments that he finally meets her, F2F, in Ep 11, but I didn't bother to watch that ep.
