My Girlfriend is an Alien (2019)

Loved it!

Truly loved the romance in this drama! Some bits might have been a bit drawn out and overdone but the true mark of a good drama to me is that you miss the characters when it's all over. I haven't been able to find another Chinese rom-com that is as good. I tried several others. I am also a sucker for inter-species, sci-fi rom-com. This drama also tugged on your heartstrings. It was an absolute delight to watch each and every episode. Their kisses were on fire. You could feel the sexual tension a mile away. I also love that the FL seemed unapologetically her, with her own unique style (that wasn't sexy IMO) but seemed to suit her character very well.

One of my all time favorites!

I love this drama!!! I have watched it three times now and still love it and enjoy the entire show with no skipping! It grabs you right from the start and won’t let you go till it ends.

Story - love the storyline! Could it use some work? Sure! No movie, show, or drama is perfect. But the acting and the whole drama in its entirety make up for any imperfections! It makes you laugh, cry, and want to kick some butts but in the end it turns out perfect!

Acting/Cast - I love the mains! They did an amazing job! When he forgot her I wanted to cry. Just when they were really bonding and he came to realize how important she was to him... he forgets her. She had to go through a lot of pain. And the main actress did a wonderful job playing her roll. I always have to find myself that she is an alien and cannot quite understand human emotions so she is totally oblivious to how he feels about her and how she is feeling. But she pulled it off really well. And the male lead, he did great also. It broke my heart when she disappeared on him and went back home. I cried (all three times I watched it) with him. He pulled off the emotions perfectly. Almost makes me believe it is all real! Haha

Rewatch - heck ya! I love love love this show and hope one day I can buy it so I no longer have to watch it on YouTube. Or hope it is never taken off YouTube!

I can't get enough of this drama!!!

I came across this drama while I was scrolling through tiktok. I thought why not, because it seems interesting and funny. I ended up falling in love with this drama. It's so pure and innocent yet the tension between Fang Leng and Xiao Qi is too much <3 I also like how fast the development between the main leads. It didn't have to take 20 episodes just for them to like each other or start dating. Although it's the typical CEO and simple girl story, it's still so cuteeee! I like that the female lead is strong and does not need anyone to help her. While the male lead seems like a cold guy but is actually sweet when in love. I like that they didn't put a second couple and only focused on the main couple. Maybe the only downside of this drama is when Fang Leng's memories of Xiao Qi got erased and they were back to zero. But it's still cute because although he couldn't remember her, his heart still chooses her. I just love, love, love this drama <3 Can't wait for season 2!!!

Warning: this review is not very well written and mostly for my own entertainment and there are MAJOR spoilers so here’s my recommendation for those of you who are wondering whether or not to watch this: The story is has a very strong start and great acting, but it is not a serious watch. It’s a good thing to play in the background when you’re studying or something. The story is pretty disappointing but you’ll have a good laugh, and the chemistry is very strong. Hope that helped. You can continue to read at your discretion.

My Girlfriend Is An Alien deals with a very creative, unique concept. An alien who’s attracted to hormones meets a man who can’t remember females after huge storms. At first, this drama was amazing. It was fluffy, sweet, and full of interesting characters. Xiaoqi was so adorably shameless, Fang Leng had such a romantic heart, Fang Lie’s friendship with Xiaoqi was so endearing, and even Jiang Xue was kind of intriguing. The first half of the story set me up with really high expectations.

However! (Messy writing and spoilers here)

After the second rainfall, things start to go downhill. Suddenly, Fang Leng becomes a completely different person, and all four of the main leads start to undergo changes that make them become really annoying. Xiaoqi’s obsession with her annunciator causes her to use and ignore Fang Leng, who clearly cares about her so much. Toward the end, even after reciprocating his feelings, she still acts so selfishly without ever thinking about him. I get that she’s an alien, but it’s not a strong enough excuse for how she acted. Fang Leng, right after losing his memory, treats everybody like dirt (this I can kind of understand, but still). Fang Lie falls in love with Xiaoqi, which was one of the biggest disappointments of the drama, and Jiang Xue gets scarily clingy to Fang Leng despite him telling her on multiple occasions that he is not interested, which is honestly so many levels of creepy. All of these changes in the characters made it really hard to continue.

Yet I still wanted to finish the drama, so I ended up watching ep 20 and on at 2x the speed while doing other things.

After finishing the drama, I can see why it has such high ratings, but it wasn’t my cup of tea. I can safely say that while it got dull and boring toward the end, the actors and actresses played their parts really well. The acting was by far the best part of the show. All of the actors played their parts so convincingly, especially Hsu Thassapak. The side characters were also all very sweet (and less problematic, except Allen of course), and I liked them so much. Assistant Han and Doctor Zhang were some of the best sidekicks, and Chai jie was such a quirky character. And even though Xiao Bu’s advice was kinda iffy, he was pretty cute too.

As for rewatch value, I don’t know. I might come visit a few episodes of this drama again, but I don’t think that will be in the near future.

Thanks for reading

Me senti solteira

Um dorama excelente! Estava doida para assistir pq o dorama é de uma das minhas atrizes favoritas (senão a favorita) Wan Peng, porém estava enrolando, mas agr q saiu a segunda temporada n podia esperar mais e foi uma experiencia incrível!!
Já era apaixonada pela atriz, mas esse ator é eloquente, quase desmaiava com esse homem.
É um dorama ótimo que já te prende logo nos primeiros episódios, que te faz rir muito, passar raiva e derreter de amor com o casal principal. O principal demonstra tanto amor e carinho por ela, que me senti solteira até demais.
É uma história muito linda que vale muito a pena assistir.

Worth Watching

This drama introduced me to the world of chinese dramas. I was asked by my friend to watch this drama. I was not interested at first. When I reached half of the first episode, I started getting into the drama. When I reached the last five episodes, I really didn't want this drama to end. The chemistry between the leads is so good. The story never makes you feel bored. I also rewatched the drama twice. It's worth watching. I really love all the characters. Xaoqi is damn cute and fang leng is damn handsome. Fang Lie is so adorable. Miss Chai is so funny . Even Han Zhuli is fun. Ofcourse there are negative characters like Fang Leng's step mother, her brother and Jiang Xue, the love rival. I think the actors did their roles really well. The happy ending is just perfect. I wonder whats up for season 2

The storyline itself is absurd so this is the type of drama you shouldn't take ? seriously but having said that, they made the story truly beautiful. They have all my favorites genre in one drama. Comedy, love, love triangle, brotherhood. The female and male lead are both apple candy! Xiao7 is very adorable and pretty! Her love for men hormones just crack me up everytime. The first half was so funny, i was laughing all the way. My first impression towards the male lead was so so but definitely grows over the time. His perfectly aligned teeth makes his smile so dashing! Very good actor, when he smile, I can actually feel he is really in love and his tearful goodbye was so heart wrenching. ??

What I also like about this movie is the romance part doesn't take forever to start like all other drama, I think from the first 4 eps, I have already seen a lot of CP romantic scenes which i absolutely adore. Their chemistry is so amazing too! My only complaint is the female lead kissing can be better (the last scene is definitely better). I cant really remember the ost being good which is probably what is also lacking.

Overall still a very good light romance drama. Definitely recommending people to give this one a go.

Adorable alien actress with the purest heart and looks and most handsome ceo thats the sweetest and protective to her.
Must watch this show! Super deep emotions and heart wrenching story.
Many many obstacles that just dont know when to stop and that will probably frustrate viewers however it all works out in the end cause they are strong and their love even stronger.
The relationship between the few of them is one of the best and all ends up well.
Spoiler:
Theres no marriage scene / accepted by parents but ultimately both parents gave up interfering. Dad allowed her to meet him for one last time despite knowing he still remembers her means he already accepted the fact his son wont give up and simply let him do what he wants.

Conclusion. It makes ur heart skip many beats, let ur tears automatically flow and definitely a show to rewatch
