Just One Smile is Very Alluring (Love O2O) Review

Hello again! So, after a while of not doing any review, now I am! This review is about a Chinese drama called Love O2O, consists of 30 episodes with a male lead actor named Yang Yang and a female lead actress named Zheng Shuang. Why do I feel like writing the review? Because this is pure gold and I just can't let this slide HEHEHE. This is my first time watching 30 episodes of drama, moreover the Chinese one, yet I didn't have the slightest regret for watching lol.

The story started with Bei Wei Wei (Zheng Shuang), a computer science top student, playing in an online game called Chinese Ghost Story. This game had a feature to pair a player with another player. Long story short, Wei Wei paired up with Xiao Nai (Yang Yang) in the game. Wei Wei had no idea that Xiao Nai was actually her senior. Being in the same department, Xiao Nai was also a top student, a college prince, a perfect boyfriend any girl could have. When the day the first met, Wei Wei couldn't help but stare blankly by seeing Xiao Nai standing in the place she and her pairing promised. Because Wei Wei somehow had a crush on him while Xiao Nai has actually been a secret admirer of Wei Wei. They end up being the most wanted couple, because who doesn't want to be Xiao Nai's girl?

Okay, this part would be in Bahasa. Because I want to spazz over the lead characters hehe. Pemain cowoknya ganteng, pemain ceweknya cantik. Klise sih, tapi suka alurnya banget. Kayak jarang banget kan drama ngangkat tema anak IT main game online, pinter, jago basket, cakep pulak. Terus si Xiao Nai ini tuh sayaaaang banget sama Wei Wei, sesayang itu. Posesif, tapi posesif yang cool gitu loh, nggak diomongin. Jadi misalnya si Wei Wei dijahatin sama temen-temen sekampus via web kampus gitu nih ya, nanti sama Xiao Nai artikelnya di-hack terus dihapus, tapi yaudah gitu aja nggak pake bilang ke si Wei Wei. Kan gemes banget ya. Terus percaya banget sama ceweknya, like she can't do any wrong. Ya emang nggak salah sih nyatanya, cuma banyak banget gosip gitu kan soal ceweknya, tapi dia ya yang kalem aja. Pokoknya wise banget deh pacarannya dan lucuu huhu. 

This review is short and sucks hahaha but somehow I'm happy! Nonton 30 episode tuh PR banget asli PR parah, tapi nggak berasa masa.....ini juga rekor baru gue sih nonton sampe 30 episode tuh wow banget *O*

Best part: Xiao Nai wearing black sleeveless shirt for running! And the way he trust his girl so much makes my heart aches because....so cute....

After taste: wanting to set a new life goal -> play an online game and find a cool boyfriend like Xiao Nai!

It's been about 3 weeks after my lecturer suggested me to change my undergradute thesis title. And I have done nothing to it since then. Di satu sisi karena 2 minggu yang lalu memang sedang menyiapkan suatu hal yang lain, dan seminggu lainnya (mungkin) digunakan untuk menata hati.

Pada kenyataannya, saya belum mampu membangkitkan minat untuk menulis lagi. Lucu kalau dipikir-pikir, karena bahkan bab 1-3 saya dengan judul yang sebelumnya belum mampu mengambil seluruh kepercayaan saya. Tapi setidaknya, saya suka. Memulai menulis tentang topik yang baru itu sulit, sangat sulit, apalagi jika tidak sesuai keinginan. Duh Gusti, rasanya mau cari judul lain aja. Yet finding one is another difficult task to do. Serba salah.

The deadline is getting closer dan teman-teman saya mulai sibuk dengan "eh gue belom masukin proposal gue ke TU nih", "eh gue pengujinya ini gimana ya", atau "iya si pak/bu X penguji/pembimbing gue". Tertekan? Jangan ditanya. Sangat.

Saya sedang mencoba menelaah tentang kenapa saya belum bisa menulis tentang topik yang baru ini. Hipotesis sementara: tidak terlalu suka topiknya / tidak mengerti topiknya / bingung membuat latar belakang dan serentet alasan ilmiahnya / bingung / bingung /  malas / tertekan dan tidak tahu harus apa. Banyak dan mulai ngaco ya. Yah, tapi bagaimanapun juga yang satu ini memang benar-benar harus diupayakan hingga titik darah penghabisan. Diperjuangkan sekuat-kuatnya, dipertahankan semampunya. 

They said, it's impossible until it's done. So just hang on there, girl.
