"Love Scenery" had the potential to be a captivating drama similar to "You Are My Glory," but it fell short due to its lower production quality and lackluster execution. The premise of a celebrity and a regular person having a healthy, supportive, and charming relationship seemed simple, yet the show struggled to get it right. The portrayal of the celebrity aspect missed many impactful dramatic moments, leaving out crucial scenes like the big reveal to friends and family, or the "oh wow! They are a couple" moments. Even the male lead character was a famous streamer, but alas this was only briefly touched upon in a few random scenes.
The gaming element was another area where the show faltered. The type of game they play was never clearly described-was it a COD shooter with co-op elements? The integration between the game and real life was not smooth. In comparison to YAMG where the game aspect was well-executed and smoothly integrated to the story, "Love Scenery" failed to deliver an interesting gaming plot. Additionally, the subplot involving the secondary leads was uninteresting and difficult to connect with.
Overall, IMHO the writers failed to create the much-needed memorable moments that are essential for delivering a compelling romance. I had really high hopes for this show, but after finishing it, I feel it just wasn't up to par.
