Love O2O (Movie)

      

         Bei Weiwei is the prettiest girl in the computer science department who excels in her studies. She loves playing an online game called Dreaming of Jianghu and aspires to be a game designer one day in the future. Through the game, she is approached by the number one player who goes by the name of "Yixiao Naihe" who suggests that the two marry in the game so that they could join couple competitions and complete missions together. The newly formed pair begin to go on many adventures together in the game and are the envy of many.

        However, the virtual world slowly bleeds into the real world as Wei Wei and Xiao Nai begin to develop feelings for each other through the online game. When the two finally decide to meet in person, Wei Wei is shocked to find out that her virtual husband is actually the very attractive and successful college senior, Xiao Nai. Xiao Nai is the most sought after male in their school and he is also the CEO of a starting gaming company he started with his college roommates. The two end up falling for each other more in person, building on what they already had developed through the game. Together, the couple work together, as they do in the game, through many hurdles and obstacles.

         

I definitely enjoyed the drama a lot more than this movie. I think that the drama was able to flesh out the relationship a lot more. In general, Love O2O tells a very simple love story between two gamers. There is nothing too dramatic and the relationship is pretty linear. Hence, this movie made that process even shorter and more straight to the point. If you want to get an idea of the drama (which is 30 episodes), the movie would be a good option to dive into. 

I'm not sure if it because Love O2O is such a simple story. But the acting can be fairly underwhelming in both the movie and the drama. However, it is very cute and lighthearted though!!
