Yes, it's a perfectly ordinary love story, just as the subtitle of the series claims. It starts with the coronavirus and people have to keep their distance. The people in the company are advised by their psychologist to install an online game to sort of keep themselves sane. So that's what our heroine does, but she's not very good at it, nor does she particularly enjoy it. But she starts chatting with another user and their anonymous chat goes on for months. Then it becomes something more. But the two don't know each other, only the heroine finds out that it's someone from the same company. For a while we fumble along with her trying to figure out who it could be, until we finally do, and just watch it slowly unfold from behind the screen. Enjoyable, human, topical. Right from the start, we thought these two would be a good match, and they are. But then all of a sudden I got absolute second lead syndrome and it was all over. I haven't had such a great "second lead crush" in a long time (if ever). A great actor, a likable guy, and a well-written character to boot. Still, the ultimate object of the heroine's love was no conniving bad guy; quite the opposite, I just personally liked the other one better. A very pleasant coronavirus movie. Somehow a love story unfolds behind the masks. And he wasn't the only one. We had several couples on the show, most of whom I liked, except for the youngest. They actually annoyed me quite a bit, I didn't care what happened to them, just as the young man in the couple assumes when he talks to the camera. Still, a hilarious romantic series. Interestingly, Haru plays in them quite often. A strong 3 stars. (25.02.2021)
