I’ll only cover the 2 leads to minimize the length of this review. This show is a classic example of forcing mains together. The two main leads seem more like 2 close friends or 2 close colleagues, but somehow the viewers are supposed to see them as a romantic couple. Instead, we get a very middle-of-the-road kdrama, where an experienced viewer will be able to predict the majority of the plot just based on the premise.
Two, deliver meaningful commentary on actual modern gaming issues, like mobile gaming/gambling addictions. The few outrageous scenes were quite funny, though it may not be to everyone’s taste.
In my opinion, there are two ways Level Up could have tried to be different. The plot of Level Up is a very basic office romcom, secondary leads interfering with the mains and plot-convenient office SNAFUs. I would only recommend watching this drama for seasoned Korean drama viewers who have already seen the vast majority of romcoms in the kdrama sphere and need something to kill the time. So, it is difficult to give any rating lower than a 5. Ultimately, a large group of people came together to produce this show, and I, ultimately, watched all 12 episodes. At first glance, it seems to have a trendy setting in the modern world of mobile game development, but the story actually falls back to bland kdrama cliches and tropes.Ī quick glance at my watchlist shows that I’m stingy on ranking dramas highly but also lowly. There is nothing offensive to turn you away from the drama, and there is also an equal amount of positives to draw you in.
Level Up is unfortunately an entirely forgettable kdrama, at best a show to leave on the background. Wait what? This show is already over, but nothing really happened.
