Pretty disappointed

Not much reviews on it so I'll help give curious viewers an idea of what they're getting. The first episode caught my attention completely. The way they began the drama, the way they showed all the main characters and how they behave because of an "incident", and the way the main character, Xia Shi played by Zhao Yiqin is. A few other dramas use a similar plot but with all the romance fluff out there I don't mind another "regrets/travel to the past" plot..

All in all Episode 1 is great.

But I can tell you with confidence that nothing, absolutely NOTHING happens in Episodes 2-8. No plot movements at all. Just simple, draggy, scenes about the female lead and how she has a crush on Xia Shi. When more episodes are released, just skip these episodes. You won't miss anything except short scenes about a murder mystery that doesn't connect with the main characters yet.

The problem with the drama is the inconsistency of the way the story is told. Episode 1 is mostly in Xia Shi's perspective but the rest of the episodes, as they show us the past, is in the female lead's perspective or the second male lead's perspective. This is odd when the story revolves around Xia Shi facing the past through the VR game. Shouldn't we know how he thinks of all of this? He's BARELY in the episodes yet he's the one I want to hear from the most. At first they make you believe he's controlling his own body in the "game". But he isn't because the drama uses the VR game as an excuse to show us the past. In fact in Episode 6, it looks like he's only watching everything that happens instead of playing.

The main character in Episode 1 is Xia Shi but onwards is the female lead. Gotta say she's an example of a bad female lead character. She's the generic dumb girl who has a crush on the smart kid. Nothing more, nothing less. Xia Shi also has no personality as his high school self. He's the smart, soft spoken guy. The drama tries to pull a "A Love So Beautiful" trick but it fails.

FINAL CONCLUSION: Finally, the drama caught my interest again in Episode 16. I like how Xia Shi is starting to realize things he hadn't before. But honestly I hated it when we went back to the perspective of the past. The problem with the drama is it's terrible execution on a pretty interesting story. They dragged so much and it's tiring to watch already. None of the characters are really interesting or entertaining either. Not attached to them at all so no motivation to continue. I'm dropping it, unfortunately. I'll check in for what happens in the end but I won't be watching full episodes anymore. It's a bore. Even if you do make it to the end of it, I doubt you'll bother rewatching.
