Everyone Loves Me (2024)

Light and Fluffy - keep the remote handy to fast forward

Soap Opera - updated. Thank gawd it was over in 24 episodes.

Chinese Drama/Rom Com so, you must have:

- Really bad acting with the intake any kind of alcohol.
- The lead female must be really annoying for at least the first six episodes.
- Most side character females are not allowed to use their brains. No company would ever hire the timid secretary who preferred costume design and put her near such an important project. HR would have never let her get past a first interview.
- There must be at least three characters that talk too much but, say very little.
- Parents were window dressing. A good thing. The ML's dad propelled the story but, only through flashbacks - it saved so much time. His mother could have phoned in her performance.

After a few episodes, you can fast forward through whole sections and not miss a thing. ML does a good job of trying to atone for being a complete jerk. FL doesn't give herself enough time to process how awful he was to her. Having the two of them spending almost 24 hours together would be rough on anyone - especially, when one hurts you to the core. They should have had FL go home to the parent's house for several days after the rejection. She wasn't involved in the main project yet and it would have made her a more stable/mature character. Calling in sick for a couple days plus a weekend would have been perfect.

There must have been some social media stuff about her and eating. The director spent too much time with full face close ups of her eating - looking at her phone - and talking - all at the same time - annoying and a little disgusting. You'll notice that you almost never see ML eat more than a few bites before scene ends.

Fashion - honestly, loved all of it. Usually, they have them wearing the oddest styles and designs that don't always compliment. But, this one got it right in all ways.

The environment - too clean...too perfect. China understands that they can train a planet to believe life is perfect - just like everywhere else - in China. No real life mentions of life and its strict controls. Houses are gorgeous. Nary a mention of cost of living. Food is always plentiful and crime is always easily solved with four minutes of watching someone. Propaganda.

Life in the bedsheets is similar to how Korea treats its BLs right now. Once you get past a kiss or, two - you see them fully clothed in bed wearing clean bright clothes. In this one - it is 1950 America - you don't see them in bed together past a hug.

ML is a great actor. I went back to the scenes where he realized his terrible mistake. Perfect. He handled everything from that moment on perfectly. I stuck with it for him - I hope he has a long successful career.

Nice light movie

This is my first drama of both FL and ML and i was wholly surprised by their performance.

I was just trying my luck and randomly choose to watch this. Havent know anything about this series prior to watching, havent seen any trailer, just came across this reel in IG once. The plot is typical, nothing too elaborated or havent seen before but it’s light and well played, so i have no qualm about that. The FL’s acting caught my attention, she was quirky and the way she delivered her lines matched up with the savageness of her character and i was very well entertained. Lol. The FL grab my attention to keep watching even before the ML has the chance to (i grow to like the ML later). Cant believe this is Gu Xiang from WOH though. I just know it after coming here after finishing the series. Lol. She has the potential to be the next FL roles and I would like to see more of her. The ML has potential as well and the vibe he was giving can very well melt you as well (but still shows some innocence of first love. Lol). I love that even though theres heart breaks in between, the laugh scene can still be flawlessly inserted.

I like how they developed the second love story as well. Convincing, while not taking over the love story between the ML and FL. I just had some issue with Su Zheng as the ML contender, i feel like SZ’s character is not developed enough or been given screentime enough to be able to bring up a challenge to the ML.

The ost sounds nice as well. Though nothing that stuck with you long after.

Watch Episode 1 then head straight to ep 7!! :D

May contain spoilers.

Writing this review to defend my boy Gu Xun. lol. A little tip, watch episode 1 then skip to episode 7. ;)

NGL I almost dropped this drama because of how annoying FL was in the first 6 episodes. I decided to pick it up again because I was really curious why it was so popular last year. Turns out, it is a fairly good show.

Now, about FL being annoying and Gu Xun (ML) being a d*ck in the first 6 episodes - totally part of their story. He was not mean to her for no reason, in ep 1 he finds out she has a "crush" in real life, not knowing it was him (they only know each other online and completely anonymous to each other in real life). So in order for her to surely be rejected by her crush, he gives her advice about what boys like about girls. Of course, the advice he gives her are things that he hates about girls - again, his intention is to make sure her crush rejects her not knowing that he is her crush! So what happens? FL follows his advice (FL's friend mocks her by asking why she is even following a boy's advice about boys?) All of this is in ep 1 so just watch ep 1 then head straight to ep 7. :)

My boy Gu Xun has been getting hate because people did not pay attention to these things in EP 1. It was pretty much set up in the first episode and I only fully understood what was happening during their scene in ep 7. It was so satisfying to see him regret his whole life decisions lol.

Episode 19 also that heartwarming hug, he looks like a really cute puppy with those eyes backed by the OST "With Me" which is my favorite song in the series :)

Long time not find a drama that's suck me in in the first few min. Haha... Interested to watch for Lin Yi & Zhou Ye. And I'm quite glad I've watch this....

Story about online friends that meet up in the game. Gu Xun (GX) & Yue Qian Ling (QL) both met while playing online together, GX like the character of his female online friend without realizing who she is. While QL herself has long held feelings for her university idol, GX.

Having the opportunity, QL decided to get closer to GX by pretend she's one 'pure white' girl, girl characteristics liked by many boy, only to find out that GX don't like that characteristics at all. And still on the day of the graduation, she decided to confesses her feeling to GX, just only to be cruelly rejected!

On the same day, GX finally find out who is the girl player that's he actually like. And that's make him quite devastated, and that's quite funny to watch, one of the scene that's I really like to re-watch over & over.... Since that's faithful day, GX try to make up for his mistake, while QL try to move on....

And their situation getting more interesting or complicated, cause GX & QL work in the same company & live in the same building just across the hall. After QL finally lifted her pretend face & GX know who she is, GX find out how talented QL actually is & try to include her in his team & that's make the story even more interesting to watch... Haha... How will they story goes in the end...? Let's find out urself....

Ok enough about the story. Now let's talk about what i like and don't like about this drama.

What i like:
+ The chemistry between Zhou Ye & Lin Yi. It's like watch friends falling in love with each other
+ How GX try to make up his mistake to QL.
+ The cute & stupid relationship between Jiang Jun Nan & Chen Xin Yi.

What i don't like:
- One stupid plot. All this time GX & QL play with their voice, like speaking through mike & not using fake voice. How come none of them realized who the other player are, when they meet each other.

Overall this really one good youth drama to watch....

Writer and directors clearly don't know anything about game development

I don't often write reviews but I feel like this drama annoyed me enough to do so. As someone who works in the gaming industry, I love media that portrays video games and/or the industry. However, here is where my biggest issue comes into play.
None of the plot makes any sense if you know even the littlest bit about the industry.

First of all, them wanting to make an "AAA game": AAA refers to the size of the company working on it and the (usually big) budget that goes into them. That's all there is to it. If they had been working for that enemy company, they could have been working on an AAA title considering it sounds like an international level company throughout the story - it would depend on the budget they'd get. But throughout the whole story, they did not work on an AAA title but act like they do. Why do people write about things they have no idea about, or don't at least do a quick google search....

My next issue is that I think that I'm over this type of male lead. The guy had pretty much no redeeming qualities to him. He was disinterested and often nasty to most people. Even after finding out that he messed up and turned down the girl he likes, his behaviour doesn't make up for the hours of mean behaviour. The female lead feels like a doormat and just let the dude walk all over her feelings and his behaviour was never addressed at all. Maybe I'm getting too old but I'm so tired of shows glorifying toxic characters.

Everyone loves novel

The character depth and the story flow were so much better in the novel. I was very much excited about this, hoping on lines of love scenery.

Production quality was average. They made many changes to story and characters. Every episode had them having fun in some party or physical game.

ML was unconvincing as the head of the ninth team. Fl was good.

It started well but fizzed out. Like my interest in this show.

----
This is the story of a timid anxious girl who goes to interview only to mistake her boss as peer and ends up impressing him. She slowly transforms herself to confident person and has a makeover too. She has many hobbies she can sew, can perform, and even kick. She falls for her boss but ends up having a heartbreak. Thankly, she gets him in the end.
Did I just make up a story? No this is the story of SFL who ends up taking more screentime than main leads.

It's cute but not something I would rewatch

The series initially caught my eyes because my random playlist in YouTube had one of the songs in it. Synopsis wise, it was sounding really interesting and as it was only 24 episodes long, I decided to give it a go - also because Lin Yi was starring in it and I kinda find him quite an alright actor. Overall, the entire cast of this series did a good job bringing the show to life. Story wise, I did not really find it fascinating anymore after watching it. Sadly, I would admit that this is the first show, after watching the first 11 episodes, I decided to skip to the last 2 to watch ( xD) .

Zhou Ye as the Main Female lead was awesome. I really like her outspoken attitude - in the series. Both her and Lin Yi do make quite a compatible pair - romantically or whether while in game etc. But that is all about it.

The music paired for this series is awesome. I sort of enjoyed the OST more than the entire series. Maybe one day, I will try to watch the entire series from episode 1 till end, but for now, watching first 11 episodes and the last 2 have to make do.

An easy drama for easy audiences

Couple had decent chemistry. Although ML was really annoying in the beginning, I liked the turn things took when she was dumped by him and he started to go for her. It really balanced things between them. However, they spent a long time in this dynamic. So much that when they finally do get together it was a little anti-climatic. Let me explain: ML wanted to confess his love for FL, so he prepared the moment and place to do it. He tried two times but smth always happened that prevented him from doing it. There was also the date their moms set up for them but he didn't show up. So, anyways, when he is eventually able to finally confess his feelings, it's like this in the middle of an alley, with some random clothes hanging to dry and some nosy children barging in. It just didn't give me the feels. Their first kiss was a little underwhelming as well. Actually, everything after they get together is a little underwhelming. They had cute scenes, that's true, but they were scarce and writing was sloppy.

I didn't like how the focus switched to the company's problems in the last eps. The couple was totally overshadowed by that. This plot had a lot of twists which were rushed and poorly explained. Mainly due to the fact that it was introduced later than it should. And let's not mention how the leads went from uni straight to good positions in a big company. ML was even the boss! I still can't understand that.

Personally hated when FL started working for both departments. She gave her all to keep up with the double workload but they kept putting the blame on her for anything. Like when she first presented her drawing for the new game character and everyone roasted her, forgetting the fact that 1) she had just arrived in the project so she didn't have all infos, 2) she never had to do that kind of work, and 3) she was working there bc ML had insisted A LOT for her to help him. Besides that, she missed meetings in one dept. bc she was attending meetings in the other one, and everyone judged her like she was the one deciding those things when both of her bosses were the ones who made a deal for her to work for both of them bc they didn't want to lose her. It didn't make any sense!

I didn't like that they rivalized the two departments. Director Jiang was a good guy and a good boss, he didn't deserve to not be recognized for his hard work. There was no need to put many of his subordinates leaving him to pursue AAA games with Gu Xun. It was like only triple A games mattered and Jiang's game was inferior smh. The moment that Gu Xun's team got the award, I felt sorry for Director Jiang. He was nice, I liked him.

Second couple was... ok idk. I liked him, he was a nice leader and the main reason why she continued working in the project. I liked her too, she was cute. But when he started dating another girl and became a coward and an idiot, I just didn't know where things were going. He basically made her do half things he should be doing as a boyfriend. Like buying gifts and making excuses for when he couldn't meet his gf. Glad he realized that in the end. He is really a nice person. But a terrible bf. Hoped they would focus more on them as a couple after that. They did, but not in the right way. Basically they were one of those second couples that only get together at the last ep.

It was a nice watch anyways. The drama is light and fun at times. There was no annoying side characters or draggy plots. Although last eps could've been way better, they didn't last long so that was a relief. Their chemistry is not much explored after they become a couple. None of the OSTs caught my attention although they weren't bad either. It's an easy drama for easy audiences.

The drama isn’t honestly that bad, I’m only dropping this because I’m close to the end and they’ve already gotten together and I just don’t have a lot of time to finish the rest of the drama.

In my opinion, the plot of the story is pretty good and fast moving. With our male lead having a crush on an online friend d but also not knowing his online friend also likes him back but in reality. The cast for this show for this show is pretty good.

My biggest issue with this show is it kinda of feels like an e-sports drama. I understand that they never actually play any video games in the drama but there are lots of scenes where it involves the main leads having obstacles on their game app that are launching. I’m here for the romance and not their idea for coming up with ideas on the game so you kinda have to skip around.
